Bachpan Ka Muntazir

 

Bachpan bahut pyara hota hai, nahi

School mein last bench pe tiffin 

Dopehar ki neend

Shaam ki lukka chuppi

Tinde ki sabzi banne pe muh banana 

Phir daanth khaake wahi tinde khaana

Phir wapas yahi karna, rozana

Bachpan ki ek aur cheez badi pyari hoti hai

Sapne

Wohi sapne jo hip hip hurray aur school days ke saath dekhe

Wohi sapne jo mummy ke tv serials ne dikhaye

Thodi ladayi, thodi ruswayi

Dosto ka wahi roothna manana

Anjaan logon mein apno ko panna

Par phir wahi bachpan

Chupke se chalaki se

Haqiqat se rubaru karake kahin kho sa jaata hai

Waqt ke sahare chodh, 

Zindagi ke chaurahe pe akela kar jaata hai

Dheere dheere sab hi chale jaate hain

Koi padhayi ke liye toh koi alag zindagi banane ke liye   

Toh koi bas apne gham seene mein dabaye 

Ujaad ban ke reh jaata hai

Jitne apne hote hain

Sab rang dikhane lagte hain

Ghadi ke kaantein jaise dheere dheere saare mukhote utaar dete hain

Aur kahin na kahin ek muntazır bas raah dekhta reh jaata hai

Kahin na kahin woh ek darwaza dhundta reh jaata hai

Bachpan ki masumiyat aur bharose ko

Har darwaze mein talaashta reh jaata hai

Kyuki, aakhir bachpan bahut pyara hota hai

Galti se reham ko nawazish samajh leta hai

Do pal pyaar ka meetha bol bolne wale ko

Apna smajh baithta hai

Yeh wahi muntazir hai jo har choti cheez mein

Kahin khoyi huyi muskaan dhundne  lagta hai

Kyuki yeh wahi hai, jo dhoke khake baitha hai

Bharosa jitna toota utna aur karne baitha hai

Thokre khaayi hain bahut par kahin ka kahin

Anjaano mein rishta banane baitha hai

Umeed toh inki masha allah hai

Kyuki koi inke khule zakhmo ko qured bhi de

Toh unhi ki tarafdaari bhi karne lagta hai

Koi zubaan se teer chala de 

Toh seena chalni karne ko taiyaar baitha hai

Yeh toh wahi bewakoof hai 

Jo jaanta nahi, jo khudka nahi, uska koi nahi

Yeh wahi beghairat hai

Jisse char thokre maardo phir bhi 

Dar pe muskurata baahein phelata aa jaata hai

Yeh wahi kamzarf hai jo samajh nah paata 

Apna koi nahi hota

Woh kahaaniyaan kisse jisse seene se lagaye baitha hai

Woh likhe bhi kisi muntazır ne hi they

Dhund toh woh bhi apna bachpan hi raha tha

Kyuki aakhir bachpan dhoka hi sahi

Par bachpan hi toh sabse pyaara hota hai
