I have a brand new nephew so I’ve taken an interest in urdu nursery rhymes. I don’t remember any from childhood, makes me wonder if my parents ever did recite any
I found a website where there are hindi nursery rhymes listed and I thought they’d be the same ones that my parents talk about. I found a popular one that most of you probably know, ‘Chanda Mama’. This version is not what my dad remembers.
Chanda Mama
Aasmaan mein nikle taare
Chandaa maama kitne pyaare.
Sabke man ko bahlaate hai
Nayi chandani chhitkaate hai.
Dekho inki shaan niraali
Soorat kitni bholi bhaali.
Roj savere chhip jaati hai
Jaise humse sharmati hai.
Aao chandaa maama aao
Apne ghar ki baat sunaao.
Do you guys know of any websites that may have the urdu nursery rhymes. Also, do you remember any?
Thanks!

Re: urdu nursery rhymes
I asked this very same question some time ago. Didn't find any sources.
Perhaps we could start a collection right here?

Re: urdu nursery rhymes
My Mom used to sing this one for us:
boel boel ka bacha
ghata tha kichri
pieta tha paani
aik din wo aya
....
and the rest I forgot
This one too:
chanda maamoe doer gai
...
the rest I forgot! only remember the first line, sorry. I should ask my Mom if she still remembers them, heehee!

Yasmine, here is a link.

I think Farooque Qaisar’s book has rhymes. I also know for a fact that some CDs are available from Usman+Imran Peerzada’s company. Feroze sons also issued some cassette tapes a while back. Last year when I was looking for some children books and saw some from Saqiba Rahim. Visit any bookstore in Pakistan and you will find lots of them.

Paanch choohay ghar se niklay
