ab thakan bardast na hoti
ab aur chala na jaata.
bojhil bojhil kadmon se maine
kitna lamba rasta kaata.
mujhe ab paas bulalo papa..

yaad hai aata nadi kinara
aur ghar ka lamba haata.
budhi dadi, ammi, bhai
aur pados k hasmukh kaka.
mujhe ab paas bulalo papa..

yahan khud se rooth hoon leta
aur phir khud ko hi manata.
akelapan bardast na hota
ghar bahut yaad hai aata.
mujhe ab paas bulalo papa..

bade ghar aur chaudi sadken
ab kuch bhi na bhata.
achhi thee tooti chat apni
aur purana kaala chaata.
mujh ab paas bulalo papa..

daulat sohrat naukar chakar
en sab k peeche badi hathasa.
kha lunga mai rukhi-sukhi
roti-chatni aur bhna hua aata.
mujhe ab paas bulalo papa..

sab hain yahan matlab k saathi
ense kaisa kaunsa naata.
jawani mujhko chida rahi hai
bachpan peeche hanth hilata.
mujhe ab paas bulalo papa..

gulli-danda kati patange
bachpan wo hasta gaata.
yaadon ki taswirain dekhkar
mera dil bhar bhar aata.
mujhe ab pass bulalo papa..
