Golden days of summer vacation

Jahan baarish mein bheega karte the

Naana ji sarso ke tel se maalish kiya karte the

Uske baad peethe the garam garam haldi doodh

Roz subah tulsi ke paate gulkand bhar ke

Hum khaate the ekdum khush hoke

Naani ke haath ka garam garam naashta

Aur phir khulta tha kahaniyon ka pitara

Gher ke baith jaate the naani ko saara

Dopahar ko khaate the swadisht khana

Uske baad hota tha aangan main sona

Shaam ko nani deti thi ek rupaiya

Dukaan le jaate the sabko bhaiya

Jholi bhar ke laate the goliyan toffee

Aur phir peete the thandi thandi coffee

Kabhi kabhi aata tha golgappe waala

Khush ho ke jaata tha

Khaali ho jaata tha uska saara puri pani

Aisi pyaari thi meri naani

Phool sabjiyan phal ugaane ka

Unhe tha bahut shauk

Litchi ke ped, aam ki shaaka,

Angoor ki belein

Hum latake the, phal toodte the

Maali bhaiya se kitni khaayi daatein

Raat ka khana khane ke baad

Aangan main baiththe the

Raat ki raani ki bheeni bheeeni khushboo

Se mahek utha tha poora mahool

Aaj bhi yaad aate hai woh pal

Jab jaate the naani ke ghar

Sunte the kisse poori raat bhar

Meri kalam se - Prerna
