chand ko reshmi baadal se ulajhta dekhun
chāñd ko reshmī bādal se ulajhtā dekhūñ
vo havā hai kabhī āñchal kabhī chehra dekhūñ
dekhne niklā huuñ duniyā ko magar kyā dekhūñ
jis taraf aañkh uThā.ūñ vahī chehra dekhūñ
dā.era khīñch ke baiThā huuñ baḌī muddat se
ḳhud se niklūñ to kisī aur kā rasta dekhūñ
ye vo darvāza hai kholūñ to koī aa na sake
aur agar band karūñ dil hī meñ duniyā dekhūñ
vo ajab chiiz hai us kā koī chehra hī nahīñ
ek parda jo uThe dūsrā parda dekhūñ
vo chakā-chauñd hai niklegā na ghar se koī
dhuup agar chhiTke vo hañstā huā chehra dekhūñ
merā saaya ho ki maiñ koī to dhokā hai zarūr
ghar meñ ā.īna ki ghar se pare dariyā dekhūñ
koī phal phuul nahīñ maġhribī chaTTānoñ par
chāñd jis gaañv se ugtā hai vo duniyā dekhūñ
chand ko reshmi baadal se ulajhta dekhun
wo hawa hai kabhi aanchal kabhi chehra dekhun
dekhne nikla hun duniya ko magar kya dekhun
jis taraf aankh uThaun wahi chehra dekhun
daera khinch ke baiTha hun baDi muddat se
KHud se niklun to kisi aur ka rasta dekhun
ye wo darwaza hai kholun to koi aa na sake
aur agar band karun dil hi mein duniya dekhun
wo ajab chiz hai us ka koi chehra hi nahin
ek parda jo uThe dusra parda dekhun
wo chaka-chaund hai niklega na ghar se koi
dhup agar chhiTke wo hansta hua chehra dekhun
mera saya ho ki main koi to dhoka hai zarur
ghar mein aaina ki ghar se pare dariya dekhun
koi phal phul nahin maghribi chaTTanon par
chand jis ganw se ugta hai wo duniya dekhun
