BACHPAN KE WOH DIN
THOSE CHILDHOOD DAYS

Koi lautadei mere bachpan kei woh din

Raat katatti thi jabh maa ki goud mein

Toe sawera hota tha unhi chawn mein

Koi lautadei mere bachpan kei woh din

Someone please give me back my childhood days

When night used to be in the arms of my mother

And the morning would awake in pleasantness

Someone please give me back my childhood days

Jabh sirf mein thi aur mera bachpan tha

Na koi gum tha aur na koi uljhan thi

Jahan zindagi khel khel mein aagei badhti thi

Na apno ka aabhaas tha aur na parayei ka ehsaas tha

When there was only I and my childhood

There wasn’t any sorrow nor any problem

When life used pass like a game

When  I neither felt foes nor enemies

Janha patta na chalta tha kabh raat hui aur kabh din

Koi lautadei mere bachpan kei woh din

When never I used feel the rise of a day or start of a night

Someone please give me back my childhood days

Jahan koi fikar na thi aur na koi khawab tha

Na kahin nafrat thi aur na hi chaahat thi

Sambhalna na aata tha phir bhi girne ka darr na tha

Jabh na koi shikwa tha aur na shikayat ka ehsaas tha

When there was no responsibility nor any dreams

There was no hatred nor was there love

I didn’t know how to save myself yet was not afraid to fall

Neither did I have any complains nor was aware of them

Patta nahi zindagi ne woh sabh liya kyon chin

Koi lautadei mere bachpan kei voh din

I Don’t know why life has taken those pleasant days from me

Someone please give me back my childhood days
