jab bhi neend me koi purani baat satati hai
ya koi na samjhe mujhe to koi baat adhuri reh jaati hai
tab
mujhe meri maa yaad aati hai
jab kisi roothe ko mana na ho
ya kahi apna sar jhukana ho
to uski taakat ke liye jo angaar andar jalati hai
vo bachpan ki naitik kahaniyan meri maa mujhe sunati hai
jab chotte kadam the mere
aur meri maa kandho tak ke baal rakhti thi
tab unhe dhundne ke liye me koso durr chalta hai
asal me 10 kadam hi tha , par mere chotte pairo ko zyaada lagta tha
aur jab vo gaadi ka ingan chalake university jaati thi
toh mere bin roye usko meri aahat aa jati thi
aur gaadi rok, mud kar mujhe gale se lagati thi
humesha aise hi meri maa hamesha vaapas aati thi
der-saver jab bhi dar lagta tha
koi galti ki hoti thi ki kaise batai jaegi
toh sab samjh ke saath khade ho jo nyaay karvati thi
chila ke tez bolna ho agar naari ke liye to vo bhi bol jati thi
mahila ki paribhasha ban jaati thi
kabhi nibandh, kabhi sher,
kabhi nazm, kabhi kavita
pehle mahila, phir maa. hamesha.
