dekho inhein yeh hain os ki bundein, patto ki god mein aasaman se kude
angdaayi le ke phir karwat badal kar, nazauk se moti hasde phishal kar
kho na jaaye yeh, taare zameen par
yeh to sardi mein, dhoop ki kirane, uthre to aangan ko sunhara sa karne
mann ke andhero ko roshan sa karde, thiturti hatheli ki rangat badal de
kho na jaaye yeh, taare zameen par
jaise aankhon ki deebiyan mein neediyaan
aur neediyan mein meetha sa sapna
aur sapne mein mil jaaye farista sa koi
jaise rango bhari peechkari, jaise teetliyan phoolo ki pyaari
jaise bina matlab ka pyaara rista ho koi
yeh to asha ki leher hai
yeh to umeed ki seher hai, khushiyon ki nehar hai
kho na jaaye yeh taare zameen par
dekho raaton ko seene pe yeh toh, jhil mil kisi lau se uge hain
yeh to ambiyaan ke khushbo mein baago se beh chale
jaise kaanch mein chudi ke tukde
jaise khile khile phoolon ke mukhade
yeh bansi koi bajaaye pedo ke tale
yeh to jhonke hai pawan ke
hai yeh ghungroo jeevan ke, yeh to sur hai chaman ke
kho na jaaye yeh.... taare zameen par
mohale ki ronak, galiyaan hai jaise
khilane ki zid per kaliyaan hai jaise
muthi mein mausam ki jaise hawaayein
yeh hai buzurgo ke dil ki duwaayein
kho na jaaye yeh taare zaameen per
kabhi baatein jaise dadi naani
kabhi chhlake jaise mum mum pani
kabhi ban jaaye bhole sawaalo ki jhadi
sannate mein hasi ke jasie, sune hoton pe khushi ke jaise
yeh to noor hai barase gar teri kismat ho badi
jaise jharne mein leharaaye chidiyaan
jaise bheed mein ?
jaise mann ko ?
?
kho na jaaye, kho na jaayeeeee
