surma missi kanghi choTi bhuli hai

surma missī kanghī choTī bhūlī hai

sūkhe pattoñ par ik mainā baiThī hai

kohre ke larzīda hāthoñ meñ aksar

tulsī aur adrak kī chaa.e chhalaktī hai

sāvan ne dhartī par phailā diiñ āñkheñ

lekin merā chehra ab bhī ḳhālī hai

patthar ke kūlhoñ par haath na pher kumhār

sūkhī miTTī aur bikharne lagtī hai

vo jo rang chamaktā hai us Tahnī par

haath aa.e to phuul nahīñ to titlī hai

shower ke nīche ghultī jaatī hai shaam

merī āñkhoñ par ik towel lipTī hai

tair rahī hai aag kī machhlī siine meñ

tum samjhe the shāyad barf kī barfī hai

apne hī mirche podīne suukh ga.e

varna duniyā maash kī daal to ab bhī hai

gard ke laDDū peḌe gande bachche khā.eñ

raanī billī duudh jalebī khātī hai

apnā tape bajā kar kavvā suntā hai

sab ko apnī bolī achchhī lagtī hai

aib purāne ghar kā ye hī hai baabā

koī aa.e na aa.e ghanTī bajtī hai

is sunsān sī shaam meñ ūñche Tiile par

zulfeñ khole vo laḌkī kyoñ baiThī hai

tiin samandar do sahrā us ke aage

nāgin jaisī ek lakīr chamaktī hai

surma missi kanghi choTi bhuli hai

sukhe patton par ek maina baiThi hai

kohre ke larzida hathon mein aksar

tulsi aur adrak ki chae chhalakti hai

sawan ne dharti par phaila din aankhen

lekin mera chehra ab bhi KHali hai

patthar ke kulhon par hath na pher kumhaar

sukhi miTTi aur bikharne lagti hai

wo jo rang chamakta hai us Tahni par

hath aae to phul nahin to titli hai

shower ke niche ghulti jati hai sham

meri aankhon par ek towel lipTi hai

tair rahi hai aag ki machhli sine mein

tum samjhe the shayad barf ki barfi hai

apne hi mirche podine sukh gae

warna duniya mash ki dal to ab bhi hai

gard ke laDDu peDe gande bachche khaen

rani billi dudh jalebi khati hai

apna tape baja kar kawwa sunta hai

sab ko apni boli achchhi lagti hai

aib purane ghar ka ye hi hai baba

koi aae na aae ghanTi bajti hai

is sunsan si sham mein unche Tile par

zulfen khole wo laDki kyon baiThi hai

tin samandar do sahra us ke aage

nagin jaisi ek lakir chamakti hai
