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!

I remember lots n lots ....n infact i sing everything to my kids ....from those cute nursery rhymes ...to old tv ads (from my childhood days ) n also milli naghmay...

even though i would love to share ....but i'm afraid its gonna take a lot more time than i actually have!

I asked this very same question some time ago. Didn't find any sources.

Perhaps we could start a collection right here?

try googling..

Titlee uree
Urh na sakee
Bus may baithee
Seat na milee
Bus driver bola
Aaja meray paas
Titlee bolee
Chal badmaaaash!!

oh well, can we start a thread in audio....whoever has anything to share can come there...???

Muzna, why did I have a feeling you are married with kids. i am heart broken. jk.

Try this website... I like it.

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!

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

Bul Bul ka bacha
khata tha kichRi
peeta tha paani
aik din akela
beTha hua tha
maiN nae uRaya
wapis na aaya
bul bul ka bacha

uRRun KabooTar
Piegon flying
Look Dhekho
Asman Sky
