'khoob sawaal poochtey hain bacchey
har ek cheez ke baare mein
har ek baat ke baare mein
dheron sawaal.

bacchon ke paas
sawaalon ki kami nahin hoti
lekin hamaare paas
chuk jaate hain jawaab.

jhunjlaate hue khetey hain hum-
‘baad mein bataayenge’
‘kya har samay wahi baat’
‘so jao, kal school nahin jaana kya’

bacchey dheere-dheerey
sab samajh jaate hain
aur bannd kar dete hain
sawaal ko poochna.

ek din achanak
bacchey bade hojatey hain
tab unke paas
na koi sawaal hotey hain
aur
na unke jawaab.
