Khaali gullak

aao izza suno kahānī

jab bachchī thiiñ

tumhārī naanī

un kī hathelī par chhoTā sā chamaktā sikka

rakhte the in.aam meñ abbā

jhaT se aa kar muTThī band kiyā kartī thiiñ ammī

miTTī kī gullak bhayyā le kar aate the

chhan-chhan karte bahut se sikke

gullak meñ bharte jaate the

baajī uThā kar vazn batā tiiñ

dil ḳhushiyoñ se pāgal hotā

kyā karnā hai in paisoñ se

samajh na aatā

phir ammī ne ye sikhlāyā

sab se achchhī dost tumhārī

ban ke raheñgī kitābeñ saarī

in paisoñ se vahī ḳharīdo

ammī bhayyā baajī abbā

jab na hoñge paas tumhāre

kabhī udaas aur tanhā jab ho

inhīñ kitāboñ meñ phir tum ko

saare rishte mil jā.eñge

haath pakaḌ kar un kā chalnā

gum kabhī tum ko na hone deñgī

in se dukh-sukh kahnā sunñā

rāsta tum ko batlā.eñgī

jab ho chāroñ taraf añdherā

raushnī tum ko dikhlā.eñgī

pyaar se in ko saiñt ke rakhnā

ye hī hoñgī sachchī sāthī

harf harf se lafz banātī

tumhārī fikr kī ḳhālī gullak

khan-khan kar ke bhartī rahegī

aisā ḳhazāna atā karegī

kabhī kisī kī Thokar se tum

bikhar sako na TuuT sakogī

balki aisī gullak

ban jāogī

jitnā bāñTo utnā bharogī

aao izza suno kahani

jab bachchi thin

tumhaari nani

un ki hatheli par chhoTa sa chamakta sikka

rakhte the inam mein abba

jhaT se aa kar muTThi band kiya karti thin ammi

miTTi ki gullak bhayya le kar aate the

chhan-chhan karte bahut se sikke

gullak mein bharte jate the

baji uTha kar wazn bata tin

dil KHushiyon se pagal hota

kya karna hai in paison se

samajh na aata

phir ammi ne ye sikhlaya

sab se achchhi dost tumhaari

ban ke rahengi kitaben sari

in paison se wahi KHarido

ammi bhayya baji abba

jab na honge pas tumhaare

kabhi udas aur tanha jab ho

inhin kitabon mein phir tum ko

sare rishte mil jaenge

hath pakaD kar un ka chalna

gum kabhi tum ko na hone dengi

in se dukh-sukh kahna sunna

rasta tum ko batlaengi

jab ho chaaron taraf andhera

raushni tum ko dikhlaengi

pyar se in ko saint ke rakhna

ye hi hongi sachchi sathi

harf harf se lafz banati

tumhaari fikr ki KHali gullak

khan-khan kar ke bharti rahegi

aisa KHazana ata karegi

kabhi kisi ki Thokar se tum

bikhar sako na TuT sakogi

balki aisi gullak

ban jaogi

jitna banTo utna bharogi
