lagan

tumheñ maiñ ne chāhā baḌī choT khaa.ī

tumhāre hī kāran huī jag-hañsā.ī

kahāñ aa gayā maiñ sahāre sahāre

ki sudh tak nahīñ jī ko apnī parā.ī

ye chāhat kī bhī kaisī ulTī lagan hai

mareñ to ji.eñ aur ji.eñ to maran hai

chalā jā rahā huuñ maiñ ik aasre par

ki nagrī to sundar hai rasta kaThin hai

akelā huuñ raste meñ ghabrā rahā huuñ

bahaltā nahīñ jī ko bahlā rahā huuñ

kisī ke akhāḌe se kab paañv ukhḌe

chalā jā rahā thā chalā jā rahā huuñ

akele meñ koī sahārā to hotā

mirā Dūbtā jī ubhārā to hotā

nahīñ DhūñDte DhūñDte kho gayā maiñ

kahāñ ho kahīñ se pukārā to hotā

tumhāre binā chhā rahī hai udāsī

binā ruup kaliyoñ kā hai baasī baasī

kahāñ tak bhalā is tarah din kaTeñge

ki jī bhūkā bhūkā hai āñkheñ piyāsī

mujhe aaj lalchā rahe ho lubhā kar

na mere bane mujh ko apnā banā kar

zarā der rukte zarā to Thaharte

kahāñ chhup ga.e ik jhalak sī dikhā kar

kiye haiñ bahut maiñ ne pheroñ pe phere

ulāhane sahe rāt-din tere mere

isī dhun meñ chakkar lagātā rahā maiñ

añdhere ujāle avere-savere

mujhe to bas is baat ne maar Daalā

ki sachchī lagan kā rahe bol-bālā

mujhe apnī chāhat pe itnā bharam hai

añdhere meñ ho kar rahegā ujālā

kaleje ko ab ye chubhan khā rahī hai

na tum aa.e aur baat bhī jā rahī hai

kahīñ bhed bhī apnā kahtā hai koī

mujhe apne uupar hañsī aa rahī hai

tumhein main ne chaha baDi choT khai

tumhaare hi karan hui jag-hansai

kahan aa gaya main sahaare sahaare

ki sudh tak nahin ji ko apni parai

ye chahat ki bhi kaisi ulTi lagan hai

maren to jien aur jien to maran hai

chala ja raha hun main ek aasre par

ki nagri to sundar hai rasta kaThin hai

akela hun raste mein ghabra raha hun

bahalta nahin ji ko bahla raha hun

kisi ke akhaDe se kab panw ukhDe

chala ja raha tha chala ja raha hun

akele mein koi sahaara to hota

mera Dubta ji ubhaara to hota

nahin DhunDte DhunDte kho gaya main

kahan ho kahin se pukara to hota

tumhaare bina chha rahi hai udasi

bina rup kaliyon ka hai basi basi

kahan tak bhala is tarah din kaTenge

ki ji bhuka bhuka hai aankhen piyasi

mujhe aaj lalcha rahe ho lubha kar

na mere bane mujh ko apna bana kar

zara der rukte zara to Thaharte

kahan chhup gae ek jhalak si dikha kar

kiye hain bahut main ne pheron pe phere

ulahane sahe raat-din tere mere

isi dhun mein chakkar lagata raha main

andhere ujale awere-sawere

mujhe to bas is baat ne mar Dala

ki sachchi lagan ka rahe bol-baala

mujhe apni chahat pe itna bharam hai

andhere mein ho kar rahega ujala

kaleje ko ab ye chubhan kha rahi hai

na tum aae aur baat bhi ja rahi hai

kahin bhed bhi apna kahta hai koi

mujhe apne upar hansi aa rahi hai
