For centuries, Urdu poetry has cradled generations of children, its melodic verses weaving tales of innocence and wonder. Two lines perfectly capture this nurturing spirit: “Bachon ki hansi hai jannat ka naghma, unhein dekho to gham mit jaate hain” (Children’s laughter is the melody of paradise, gazing at them melts away sorrow).

Chotay Bachay Pe Ghazal
Beyond mere amusement, Urdu shayari delves into the depths of childhood, celebrating its unique quirks and vulnerabilities. The legendary Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib paints a whimsical scene with words: “Bache hain khelte saanson ke aahat par, ghar mein hai bahar chaman mein hai patjhar” (Children play to the rhythm of breaths, spring in the house, autumn in the garden). While Faiz Ahmed Faiz captures the poignant innocence of a lost toy: “Gudiya meri gudiya ho gayi gum, dhoondhta hoon har jagah main usko…” (My doll, my doll is lost, I search for her everywhere…).
Baby Boy in Poems
This emotional tapestry extends to celebrating milestones in a child’s life. The arrival of a baby boy, for instance, sparks verses brimming with pride, as in Mir Taqi Mir’s: “Aya hai ghar mein ek naya mehmaan, khushiyon ke saath muskaan leke aaya” (A new guest has arrived in the house, bringing smiles with joy). Meanwhile, the birth of a baby girl inspires reflections on delicate beauty, echoed in Parveen Shakir’s: “Shukrani ki phool hain aankhon mein chhalkay, jab meri gudiya ne dunya mein aaya” (Flowers of gratitude bloom in my eyes, when my doll entered the world).
Urdu poetry also offers valuable lessons for nurturing good children. Faiz’s words resonate with generations of parents: “Nafa nuksan ki baat nahi meri jaan, bhale insaan bana, tu jahaan mein ja jaa” (My dear, profit and loss are not important, become a good human, wherever you go in the world). These verses, a mere glimpse into the vast treasure trove of Urdu poetry for children, continue to be passed down through families, weaving magic into childhood experiences.
Conclusion
So, whether you’re a parent whispering lullabies, a grandparent sharing folktales, or a teacher guiding young minds, let the echoes of Urdu poetry enrich your journey. From playful musings to heartfelt emotions, there’s a verse waiting to resonate with every child and the people who love them.
