Suitcase ch kapde thode,

Supne lakh leke aaye,

Maa de hath chhad ke asi,

Pardesaan wal nu aaye.

Fees de bill, rent di tension,

Kamm de ghante, classan naal,

Din langhde ne soch-soch ke,

“Agge hona ki ae haal?”

Door ghar ton…

door apneya

ton… Phir vi supne

chhadne nahi…

Ajj ik rule, kal hor rule,

Kagazaan te badalde haal,

Jis future layi aaye si,

Ohi ban gaya sawaal.

Padh ke vi darr lagda ae,

Kamm mil ke vi darr lagda,

File jad table utte rukdi,

Saah vi jaake rukda.

Kise da permit, kise da paper,

Kise di akhan ch neend nahi,

Hazar supne leke aaye,

Par raah di koi guarantee nahi.

Thoda hor… thoda hor… Bas thoda hor seh lai!

Thoda hor… thoda hor… Dil nu na tu haar keh lai!

Ajj rule badle, kal haal badle,

Par supne na badal ve!

Jinna chir saah challde ne,

Apna hausla na chhad ve!

Kise ne lakh dollar laake,

Degree apni poori kiti,

Kise ne ghar di zameen vech ke,

Apni kahani shuru kiti.

Hun sawaal eh nahi padhai da,

Sawaal ae kal kithe jaana,

Jis desh nu ghar samajh baithe,

Othe rehna jaan mud jaana?

Akhan de vich supne ne,

Hanju vi lukke rehnde ne…

“Putt… Mainu pata ae aukha ae.

Bas apna hausla na chhadi.

Jithe vi hovein,

Rab tere naal hove.”

Maa nu kehnda, “Main theek aa…” Par sach dassan,

thakk gaya… Ghar nu kehnda,

“Sab changa…” Par andar ton darr gaya…

Par phir yaad aunda,

Main ithon khaali nahi aaya…

Supne leke aaya si,

Supneyan nu chhad ke nahi jaana.

Thoda hor! Thoda hor!

Bas thoda hor seh lai!

Thoda hor! Thoda hor!

Dil nu na tu haar keh lai!

Rules badlan, waqt badle,

Duniya bhawein badal jaave,

Jis maa ne supne bheje ne,

Ohde putt nu kaun haraave!

Thoda hor! Thoda hor!

Hausla na chhad ve!

Pardes bhawein aukha hove,

Tu apna dil na badal ve!

Mother:

“Putt…

ghar door ae, Par meri dua tere naal ae.” “Maa… main thakkya

haan… Par haarya nahi.”
