jis ko apne bas meñ karnā thā us se hī laḌ baiThā
sīdhā mantar paḌhte paḌhte ulTā mantar paḌh baiThā
vo aisā tasvīr-navāza ki jis ko maiñ jañchtā hī nahīñ
aur ik maiñ har frame ke andar chitr usī kā jaḌ baiThā
gyaan luTāne niklā thā aur jholī meñ bhar laayā pyaar
maiñ aisā rañg-rez huuñ jis pe rañg chunar kā chaḌh baiThā
parsoñ maiñ bāzār gayā thā darpan lene kī ḳhātir
kyā bolūñ dūkān pe hī maiñ sharm ke maare gaḌ baiThā
baaqī bāteñ phir kar leñge aaj ye gutthī suljhā leñ
dhartī kankaḌ par baiThī yā phir is par kankaḌ baiThā
jis ko apne bas mein karna tha us se hi laD baiTha
sidha mantar paDhte paDhte ulTa mantar paDh baiTha
wo aisa taswir-nawaza ki jis ko main janchta hi nahin
aur ek main har frame ke andar chitr usi ka jaD baiTha
gyan luTane nikla tha aur jholi mein bhar laya pyar
main aisa rang-rez hun jis pe rang chunar ka chaDh baiTha
parson main bazar gaya tha darpan lene ki KHatir
kya bolun dukan pe hi main sharm ke mare gaD baiTha
baqi baaten phir kar lenge aaj ye gutthi suljha len
dharti kankaD par baiThi ya phir is par kankaD baiTha
