Chhalak chhalak chhalak chhalak
Paani chhalkega, chhalkega paani
Paani toh bas paani hai
Chahe ho namkeen ya ruhaani!
Chhalak chhalak chhalak chhalak
Chhalaktaa jaa raha hai paani
Kaam who karti jaa rahi hai
Ela, Eehita ya Eshaani!
Chhalak chhalak chhalak chhalak
Katak katak katak katak
Chaala rahi hai haath
Labh uske kehna chahein koi baat!
Chhalak katak, katak chhalak
Chal raha hai falsafaa
Chup chaap chup chaap
Uske naina chhod gaye chhaap!
Katak chhalak ya chhalak katak
Kya hai yeh – maine poochhaa
Khamoshi se kahe gayi –
Kya rukh kar tumne socha?
Chhalak – shhhh, chhalak – shhhh
Kabhi bhaag-daud, kabhi aaraam
Yeh toh hai hamari kahaani…
Par uske kadamon ko rukhna manaa hai -
Bin kahe, kahe gayi sab kuchh jaise zubaani!
Woh jo hai ek aam naari -
Palat kar dekhiye – maa hamaari…
Chhalak chhalak chhalak chhalak
Paani chhalkega, chhalkega paani
Paani toh bas paani hai
Chahe ho namkeen ya ruhaani!
