Na jaane kaha kho gye who din*

Na jaane kahan kho gaye woh din… Subah uthte hi suraj ki pehli kiran, Chidiyon ka chahchahana, thandi halki si hawa… Na kal ki fikar, na aage ka darr, Din shuru hote hi nikal padte the hum— Haste, khelte, khushiyon mein doobte... Ghar lautne par maa ka woh halkasa sa pyaar bhara tokna… Dadi ka chupke se haath me kuch rakh dena, jaise apni dua sa… Aur papa ki aankhon me woh khamoshi wali fikar… Na koi gham tha, na zindagi ka bojh, Bas shararat, masti aur chhoti chhoti hasin pal… Na jaane kahan kho gaye woh din…
