Niwaalo ka Hisaab:

Arz kiya hai…

Wo apne niwaale ginkar bacha raha hai,
Log kehne lage, tu toh bada ho gaya hai.

Raaton ki neend bhi ab uski kam ho gayi hai,
Fikr-e-zindagi ne rooh tak jaga diya hai.

Kal tak jise khelon ki parchhai pyaari thi,
Aaj rozgaar ki dhoop me dhal gaya hai.

Ghar ki zarooraton ne qadam sambhaal diye,
Warna masoom sa bachcha hi reh gaya tha.

Chehre pe ab bhi bachpan ki halki si chamak hai,
Bas zimmewaari ne usko chup kara diya hai.

Daudta tha khushiyon ki galiyon me jo kabhi,
Aaj waqt ke peeche woh khud daud raha hai.

Honton pe pehle jaisi masoom hansi thi,
Ab har muskurahat me bojh sa jama hai.

Aankhon me sapnon ka ek dhundhla sa udaan hai,
Par haathon ki lakeeron ne rok rakha hai.

Zindagi ka hisaab sabhi karte rahe,
Par isne toh har dard tak gin dala hai.

Bachpan ki khushbu ko usne sambhaal rakha hai,
Duniya ne use jaldi bada kar diya hai.

Abhi bhi andar ek naram sa bachcha zinda hai,
Magar halat ne usse samajhdaar bana diya hai.

Wo apne niwaale ginkar bacha raha hai,
Dekhne walon ko lagta hai bada ho gaya hai.
