sharmila suraj bhi kitna pagal hota jata hai

sharmīlā sūraj bhī kitnā pāgal hotā jaatā hai

shabnam jaisī hariyālī ko sho.aloñ se dahkātā hai

aaj achānak ġhaur se mere chehre ko kyoñ dekhte ho

logo tum se to merā barsoñ kā rishta-nāta hai

nangī kirneñ mal ke badan meñ ā.īna vo ban to gayā

aañkh milāte ā.īne se lekin ab sharmātā hai

janam janam ke sāthī haiñ ham rūTheñge to mil leñge

ye kah kar āvāra bādal dhartī ko bahlātā hai

be-mausam kā ye sāvan bhī kitnā bholā-bhālā hai

pheñk ke sāgar meñ kankar ab ḳhud hī shor machātā hai

dukh kī agnī meñ āshā.eñ kab kī jal kar raakh huiiñ

pāgal manvā phir bhī baiThā sukh kī biin bajātā hai

aaj to har koī hai gum apnī hī dhun kī sargam meñ

tere phīke sur kā 'at.har' kaun yahāñ gun gaatā hai

sharmila suraj bhi kitna pagal hota jata hai

shabnam jaisi hariyali ko shoalon se dahkata hai

aaj achanak ghaur se mere chehre ko kyon dekhte ho

logo tum se to mera barson ka rishta-nata hai

nangi kirnen mal ke badan mein aaina wo ban to gaya

aankh milate aaine se lekin ab sharmata hai

janam janam ke sathi hain hum ruThenge to mil lenge

ye kah kar aawara baadal dharti ko bahlata hai

be-mausam ka ye sawan bhi kitna bhola-bhaala hai

phenk ke sagar mein kankar ab KHud hi shor machata hai

dukh ki agni mein aashaen kab ki jal kar rakh huin

pagal manwa phir bhi baiTha sukh ki bin bajata hai

aaj to har koi hai gum apni hi dhun ki sargam mein

tere phike sur ka 'athar' kaun yahan gun gata hai
