phul pe aa ke baiThi to KHud par utarna bhul gai

phuul pe aa ke baiThī to ḳhud par utarnā bhuul ga.ī

aisī mast huī vo titlī par phailānā bhuul ga.ī

aise khilā vo phuul sā chehra phailī saare ghar ḳhushbū

ḳhat ko chhupā kar paḌhne vaalī raaz chhupānā bhuul ga.ī

kaliyoñ ne har bhañvre, titlī se pūchhā hai us kā naam

bād-e-sabā jis phuul ke ghar se lauT ke aanā bhuul ga.ī

apne purāne ḳhat lene vo aa.ī thī mire kamre meñ

mez pe do tasvīreñ dekhīñ ḳhat le jaanā bhuul ga.ī

barsoñ ba.ad mile to aisī pyaas bharī thī āñkhoñ meñ

bhuul gayā maiñ baat banānā vo sharmānā bhuul ga.ī

sājan kī yādeñ bhī 'ḳhāvar' kin lamhoñ aa jaatī haiñ

gorī aaTā gūñdh rahī thī namak milānā bhuul ga.ī

phul pe aa ke baiThi to KHud par utarna bhul gai

aisi mast hui wo titli par phailana bhul gai

aise khila wo phul sa chehra phaili sare ghar KHushbu

KHat ko chhupa kar paDhne wali raaz chhupana bhul gai

kaliyon ne har bhanwre, titli se puchha hai us ka nam

baad-e-saba jis phul ke ghar se lauT ke aana bhul gai

apne purane KHat lene wo aai thi mere kamre mein

mez pe do taswiren dekhin KHat le jaana bhul gai

barson baad mile to aisi pyas bhari thi aankhon mein

bhul gaya main baat banana wo sharmana bhul gai

sajan ki yaaden bhi 'KHawar' kin lamhon aa jati hain

gori aaTa gundh rahi thi namak milana bhul gai
