fir bhi main school jata tha...
I could eat just once a day,
Still... I was going to school
ghar ki chhat tapakti thi,
fir bhi main school jati thi
The roof of my house would leak,
Still...I was going to school
khet me mazduri karti thi,
fir bhi main school jati thi...
I would work on the field,
Still...I was going to school.
Maa ghar-ghar jakar bartan manjti
Main bhi jhadoo lagati thi,
Mother would wash other's dishes,
I would sweep their house,
Malkin ki daant khaati thi,
fir bhi main school jati thi....
Madam would scold me for being late,
Still... I was going to school
Socha tha paath saare padhkar
main bhi collector ban jaungi
mere jaisi har bachchi ke haatho me fir jhadu nahi, kalam dungi
Thought I would read all the lessons,
And become a collector one day
Par ab...
kaise...
kaise...
Kaise??? (edited)

Sirf ek waqt ka khana milta tha,
fir bhi main school jata tha...
ghar ki chhat tapakti thi,
fir bhi main school jati thi
meelo paidal chalta tha..
fir bhi main school jata tha..
khet me mazduri karti thi,
fir bhi main school jati thi...
Baba bojh dhota tha,
Main unko sahara deta tha..
sookhi roti khakar, jaise taise guzara hota tha,
fir bhi main school jata tha!
Maa ghar-ghar jakar bartan manjti
Main bhi jhadoo lagati thi,
Malkin ki daant khaati thi,
fir bhi main school jati thi....
Sochta tha padh likhkar bhaag apne badlunga,
Malik ke bachcho jaise, main bhi bachpan ko jee lunga
Socha tha paath saare padhkar
main bhi collector ban jaungi
mere jaisi har bachchi ke haatho me fir jhadu nahi, kalam dungi
Par kaise...
Par kaise...
Par Kaise???
