bargad ka buDha peD

bargad kā ye būḌhā peḌ

jis ke jism kī khaal tak ab to suukh ga.ī hai

is ke saa.e meñ

jaane kitne rūmān pale haiñ

jaane kitne paimān bañdhe haiñ

is bargad ke peḌ ko sab

hamrāz banā kar

jīvan saath nibhāne kā

va.ada karte the

is bargad ke saa.e meñ

kitnī chhail-chhabelī sundar naarī

miit se milne kī aashā meñ

pahroñ baiThī rahtī thiiñ

kitne albele shoḳh kanhaiyā

is bargad ke saa.e meñ

apnī nai se

mad-bharī āvāz kā jaadū gholte the

birhā-rāg ko chheḌ ke aksar

fart-e-ġham se

ashk ke motī rolte the

bargad ka ye buDha peD

jis ke jism ki khaal tak ab to sukh gai hai

is ke sae mein

jaane kitne ruman pale hain

jaane kitne paiman bandhe hain

is bargad ke peD ko sab

hamraaz bana kar

jiwan sath nibhane ka

wada karte the

is bargad ke sae mein

kitni chhail-chhabeli sundar nari

mit se milne ki aasha mein

pahron baiThi rahti thin

kitne albele shoKH kanhaiya

is bargad ke sae mein

apni nai se

mad-bhari aawaz ka jadu gholte the

birha-rag ko chheD ke aksar

fart-e-gham se

ashk ke moti rolte the
