माँ तेरा ही आज इंतजार है, आंसू नही इन आँखों में तेरा प्यार है ! मेरी आँखों को अब इतना भी सताओ ना, माँ मुझसे मिलने आओ ना !! मुझे एक पल भी रोता देख्, तू सारी रात रोती थी, सुलाकर मुझे गद्दे पे तू जमी पे सोती थी, खिलाकर सबको मेवे, ख़ुद रोटियाँ खाती थी! देख माँ मै कब से भूखा हूँ , अब कुछ तो खिलाओ ना माँ मुझसे मिलने आओ ना !! एक पल जो तुझसे दूर रहता था, मिलने को तड़प जाती थी, जंहा कही भी जाती गोद में बिठा ले जाती थी, अगर तेरे अर्मानो का खयाल ना होता, तो कबका वापस चला आता माँ !! माँ मुझसे मिलने आओ ना !! आज p.g. में छोले बने थे, तू होती तो कह देता, माँ भटूरे बना दे, नया साल आने को है, पकवानों कि लिस्ट तय्यार है, 2 दिन के, 6 पहर में 12 पकवान बनने को कह देता ! माँ मुझसे मिलने आओ ना !! आज मौसम बड़ा सुहाना था , हवाओं में द्रुतशीतन  थी , तू होती तो कैह् देता ,  माँ लिट्टी और गाजर का हलुआ   बनाओ ना ..! माँ मुझसे मिलने आओ ना !!                                         ...
