Maa (Poem)

Tujhse hi to seekhe humne, apne pehle akshar

Tere hi to sikhaye paaya, humne apna gyaan

Thoda sa jo daant bhi deti, bhale hi darr jaate hum

Usi daant ke hi to chalte, ban paaye achhe insaan

Ganit ho ya vigyaan-bhugol, 

Jab bhi hota padhai se dabba gol

Kabhi milti tujhse, apaar gyaan ki baarish

Kabhi darake deti, dimaag ke dhage khol

Har us yaad ko kabhi na payenge bhool

Teri yehi khatti meethi baatein banati inhe anmol

Pyaar tha tera, ke kar paye zindagi me kuch naam

Fir chahe wo ghar ho, ya fir ho daftar ka kaam

Tujhi se to mili hume, mamta ki sahi parakh

Bann paayen acche mata pita, jab aaye hamari santaan

Kehne saari baatein, lag jayenge din aur raat

Gam thi ya khushiyaan, sab hi me tha tera saath

Bann jaayein tujhse hum, aisi ho hamari pehchaan

Ke khushi se phoole seena, jab koi kahe

Ye to hai, bilkul apne maa ke samaan
