Those who came and settled in cities...

Those who came and settled in cities Settled somewhere Somewhere here and there In known-n-unknown cities Forgetting their own people, people of their own people

As if they have nothing to do with them. Came by leaving Mother who used to be anxious Whenever they get home even little late 

Father’s anxiety and loved anger Forgetting all obligations of theirs They leave them alone in the oldage Those who came and settled in cities...

शहर में आके बसने वाले...

शहर में आके बसने वाले
बसने लगते है यहीं
यहीं कहीं जाने अनजाने शहरों में
अपनों को भूले, अपनेवालों को भूले
मानो कुछ लेन-देन ही नहीं उनसे
भूल आते है
वो माँ जो बेचैन रहती
गर वो जरा भी देर घर लौट आते
वो बाप की बेचैनी और प्यार का गुस्सा
भूलकर सब अहसान उनके
बुढ़ापे में अकले छोड़ आते है ये
शहर में आके बसनेवाले

Shaher Me Ake Basne Wale....

Shaher me ake basne wale
Basne lagte hain yahin
Yahin Kahin jane-anjane shaheron me
Apno ko bhule, apne walon ko bhule
Mano kuch len-denhi nahi unse
Bhul aate hain
wo Maa jo bechain Raheti
gar ye zara der ghar laut aate
Wo bap ki bechaini aur pyar ka ghussa
Bhul kar sab ahesaan unke
Budhaphe me akele chor aate hain ye
Shaher me ake basne wale.
