urdu nursery rhymes

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 :wink:

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!

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:

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.

What about:

Akkar bakkar bumbay baw
Assi naway poorai saw
Saw mai laga dhaga
Choar nikkal kai bhaaga
Rail aaye chuk chuk
Double roti biskut

:)

Re: urdu nursery rhymes

Paanch choohay ghar se niklay
karne challe shikaar
Aik choohay ko kha gayee billi
baki reh gaye chaar

I don't know the rest:)

Choonchoo choonchoo chacha
ghari par chooha nacha
ghari ne aik bajaya
chooha neechay aaya
