Kuttay Ke Bachchay

KUTTAY KE BACHCHAY
(a poem by Mansoor Khalid)

Kahan se ye aatay hain kuttay ke bachchay?
Kahan ko ye jaatay hain kuttay ke bachchay?

Lo phir aa gaya dumm hilaanay ka mausam
Dummein ye hilaatay hain kuttay ke bachchay

Qisaai hai boorha, kamar uss ki kubbi
So haddi chabaatay hain kuttay ke bachchay

Bachchay ne paththar ghuma kar hai mara
Lo daurein lagaatay hain kuttay ke bachchay

Jogger pehen kar hai jab bhi woh aata
Chhalaangein lagaatay hain kuttay ke bachchay

Roti zara si main baasi jo phainkoon
Bara moo banaatay hain kuttay ke bachchay

Main bhi hoon bonga, nazam bhi hai bongi
Ye tohmat lagaatay hain kuttay ke bachchay
