Down memory lane: Hindi poem from my school days

Few days back somehow I got into a discussion with my school friends about a hindi poem that we had read in our school days from a book called Bal Bharati. I tried hard to get the right words and after picking up pieces from all, here's the best version that we could get:

Title - Missing, don't remember

Utho lal ab aankhein kholo
paani laayi mu dho lo
beeti raat kamal dal phule
jinke upar bhaware jhule
chidhiya chahak uthi paedo par
behne lagi hawa aati sunder
Nabh mein nyari lali chaayee
Dharti ne pyari chavi paayi
aisa sundar samay na kho
mere pyare ab mat so

utho laal ab aankhein kholo
paani laayi hoon, muh dholo

beeti raat kamal-dal phoole
unke ooper bhanvre jhoole

chidiya chahak uthi pedo par
behne lagi hawa ati sundar

bhor huyi sooraj ug aaya
nabh mein huyi sunhari kaaya

aasmaan mein chhaayi laali
hawa bahi sukh dene waali

nanhi-nanhi kiranein aayein
phool hase kaliyaan muskaayein

itana sundar samay na kho
mere pyaare ab mat so

Hello Dear MM,
Nice to read this poem completely, I used to recall this poem time to time but forgot 1 stanza. Thnx for giving it full. When i ws in 2nd/3rd class (1988 or 89) it was in our hindi book. This poem recalled me those golden days. :)
I would like to correct it little bit & i m sure abt that

"bhor huyi sooraj ug aaya
jal mein padi sunhari chhaaya"

Thanks

Thank you Guys.Please upload more kavita from Bal-Bharati text book.
I am converting in native language.
उठो लाल अब आँखें खोलो
पानी लायी मुह धो लो
बीती रात कमल दल फुले
जिनके ऊपर भावारे झूले
चिढिया चहक उठी पेड़ो पर
बहने लगी हवा आती सुंदर
नभ में न्यारी लाली छाई
धरती ने प्यारी छवि पाई
ऐसा सुन्दर समय न खो
मेरे प्यारे अब मत सो
लेखक - अयोध्या सिंह उपाध्याया

Bade sabere murga bola,

kchh paheliyan hai jo un dino hamari text book bal bharti me thi jaise... Tedhi medhi lakdi pahad chad jay.. Raja ke raj me nahi maali ke baag me nahi phodo to guthli nahi khao to swad nahi... Hari thi rang bhari thi lakh moti jadi thi raja ji ke bagh me dushala odhe khadi thi...

Ek bohot tha lobhi bhai,
Uski jyaada thi na kamai,
Rukhi Sukhi Roti khata,
thode mein hi din bitata.

Par kismat ne palta khaya
Lobhi ke ghar bhi dhan aaya,
Usne paali murgi ek,
Sidhi saadhi badi hi nek...

Here is complete version of lobhi bhai poem....

bachcho sun lo nayee kahani
yoon has karke boli nani

bahut dino ki baat batayoon
sachcha sachcha haal sunaoon

aik bahut tha lobhi bhai
jiski zyada thi na kamai

ruukhi sookhi roti khata
dukh main apna samay bitata

par kismat ne palta khaya
lobhi ke ghar main dhan aya

usne murgi paali aik
jo thi sidhi ati hi naik

do sone ke ande pyare
deti thi woh uth bhinsare

lobhi jab ye ande pata
khushi se woh phoola jaata

par lobhi man main lalchaya
ye vichar uske man aya

kyon naa mar murgi ko daaloon
saare ande saath nikaloon

ho jaunga malamal
hate roz ka yeh janjaal

lobhi foran chaaku laya
murgi maari khun bahaya

anda usne aik na paya
ro ro ro bahut pachhtaya

bachpan ko yad dilane ke liye thanks
kuchh me bhi share karana chahta hoon
bade prasann uchhalte bachche,
gate meethe swar me,
chutti ke din sath guru ke ,
pahunche chidiyaghar me.
guru ji- dekho ye van ka raja hai ,
rah rah kar gurrata hai
lal lal ankhe hai iski ,
yahi sher kahahlata hai.

The one I remember the most as my recital in school was SUBAH
Suraj ki kirnein aati hain
Sari kaliyan khil jati hain
Andhkar sab kho jata hai sab jag sundar ho jata hai..
Chidiya gati hai geet manohar behte hain unke meethe swar
Thandi thandi hawa suhani chalti hai jaise mastani
Ye pratah ki sukh bela hai dharti ka Sukh albela hai
Nayi tazgi nayi kahani naya josh pate hain prani
Kho dete hain aalas Sara aur kaam lagta hai pyara
Subah bhali lagti hai unko mehnat pyari lagti jinko
Mehnat sabse accha gun hai aalas bahut bada durgun hai
Agar subah bhi alsa jaye to kya jag sundar ho paye..

Chadha vruksh k upar bandar le paiso ka thela,
Us paiso se naya khel tha us bandar ne khela,
Aadhe paise jal k andar, aadhe nadi kinare,
isi tarah bandar ne feke uske paisa sare.
Us bandar ne lobhi gwala ko aisa sabak sikhaya k,
Dudh ka dudh aur paani ka paani karke use dikhaya..

एक गाँव का लोभी ग्वाला करता था मनमानी
रोज़ सबेरे दूध बेचता खूब मिलाकर पानी,
एक रोज़ वह दूध बेच कर लौट रहा था गाँव
बीच राह में एक नदी थी और घनी थी छाव,
उसने सोचा ज़रा नदी में आज नाहा लू भाई
और किनारे पर रख दु सब कपड़े और कमाई,
जैसे ही वह लोभी ग्वाला गया नदी के अंदर
एक व्रक्ष से धीरे धीरे नीचे उतर बन्दर,
चढ़ा वृक्ष के ऊपर बंदर ले पैसो का थैला
उन पैसों से नया खेल था उस बंदर ने खेल,
आधे पैसे जल के नादर आधे नदी किनारे
इसी तरह बंदर ने फेंके उसके पैसे सारे,
बंदर ले लोभी ग्वाले को ऐसा पाठ पढ़ाया
दूध दूध पानी का पानी करके उसे दिखाया
