chhupa ke rakhiye zara prem patr sa ye badan

chhupā ke rakhiye zarā prem patr sā ye badan

har ik nigāh kanakhiyoñ se paḌh rahī hai ise

piyā ke ang sā laage ye surma.ī āñchal

uḌe to pakḌe gire to sañbhāltī hai ise

ye māyā-jāl badan jog hai ki bhog-vilās

bhaTaktī aatmā sadiyoñ se khojtī hai ise

ye dil shivāla nahīñ jogiyoñ kā kuTiyā hai

sugandh se vo badan kī basā ga.ī hai ise

ye lok giit sā ashlīl ras bharā yauvan

har ek taan jo uThtī hai chheḌtī hai ise

ye koī andhī guphā hai ki jism kā ban hai

nigāh uñgliyāñ ban kar TaToltī hai ise

rupahlī raat ye ThanDī havā ye alhaḌ niiñd

milan kī aas hiñDole jhulā rahī hai ise

vo chaap phir vahī siiTī kivāḌ par thap-thap

uThe to khaaT kī āvāz roktī hai ise

kahe to kaise kahe maañ se jhuuT kahnā hai

ki bachpane kī sahelī bulā rahī hai ise

phire hai prem pujārī sā 'hosh' ban ban meñ

anuup ruup kī devī kī lau lagī hai ise

chhupa ke rakhiye zara prem patr sa ye badan

har ek nigah kanakhiyon se paDh rahi hai ise

piya ke ang sa lage ye surmai aanchal

uDe to pakDe gire to sanbhaalti hai ise

ye maya-jal badan jog hai ki bhog-wilas

bhaTakti aatma sadiyon se khojti hai ise

ye dil shiwala nahin jogiyon ka kuTiya hai

sugandh se wo badan ki basa gai hai ise

ye lok git sa ashlil ras bhara yauwan

har ek tan jo uThti hai chheDti hai ise

ye koi andhi gupha hai ki jism ka ban hai

nigah ungliyan ban kar TaTolti hai ise

rupahli raat ye ThanDi hawa ye alhaD nind

milan ki aas hinDole jhula rahi hai ise

wo chap phir wahi siTi kiwaD par thap-thap

uThe to khaT ki aawaz rokti hai ise

kahe to kaise kahe man se jhuT kahna hai

ki bachpane ki saheli bula rahi hai ise

phire hai prem pujari sa 'hosh' ban ban mein

anup rup ki dewi ki lau lagi hai ise
