bargad ke pedo pe shakhe purani pate naye the, ha
wo din to chalte huye the, magar phir tham se gaye the

ha lao bachpan dobara, dariya ka bahata kinara
lao bachpan dobara, dariya ka bahata kinara
maki ki roti gud ki sawaiya, ama ka chuhla, pipal ki chhaiya
de du kasam se puri jawani puri jawani, ha
bargad ke pedo pe shakhe purani pate naye the, ha
panghat pe kaise ishare, kheto ki maniya kinare
panghat pe kaise ishare, kheto ki maniya kinare
tau ki uthati girati chilam ko, hairat se dekhe the sare, haye
guli ke dande ki bati aau na dhandhe ki bati
bas yu gutar ghu, ek mai ke ek tu
yu hi gujarati thi rate haye, vedo me galiyo me khoya tha humne
yado ke sine me thoda, pighal ke jam se gaye the ha
wo din to chalte huye the, magar phir tham se gaye the ha
yado me hai aisa kabhi, aaya tha bachpan kaise kahu
mera kabhi saya tha bachpan
inke kadam dil ki hansi laya tha bachpan
jane ko tha phir bhi mujhe bhaya tha bachpan
bholi zuba ke nagame, bhole se man ke sagame
lori banethe, rukane ki khawahish badi thi
lekin gujar se gaye the ha
wo din to chalte huye the, magar phir tham se gaye the
lao bachpan dobara, dariya ka bahata kinara
maki ki roti gud ki sawaiya, ama ka chuhla, pipal ki chhaiya
de du kasam se puri jawani puri jawani, ha
On the banyan trees, there were old branches, and new leaves.. Those days
were moving, but were stopped again.. bring back that childhood ahead.. the
flowing bank of river, that corn-bread, that vermicelli with jaggery,
mother's earthen stove, shadow of peepal tree, I swear I'll give my whole
youth for that..
