~ Piya ~

Keevad,

Jharokha,

Dareecha,

Thoda thoda,

Maine diya moda,

Baant johun, piya teri,

Poora din guzra jaye,

Saanjh bhi tu na aaye,

Chaand sa munh fulahe,

Taare kaanon main latkaye,

Meri nath ka ek lashkara,

Jaise so-so dafa toot-ta tara,

Gaalon ki sachi-jhooti laali,

Kaare badal ne li nazar utari,

Shingar poora poora— sirf ek soona matha,

Bindiya ban ja tu,

Piya, more piya,

Baant johun main teri,

Nindiya sa ban ja na,

Palkhon main ghul ja re,

Choom le na ek baari,

Mera bhooda intezaar,

Meri bhooli bisri pyaas,

Main bikhre mogre si,

Mere antar-deh main pir ja re,

Ye’ rainn na beete —

Banaa ja na iss ko tu, aaj itni khaas,

Aa ja re tu, mere sapnon main hi,

Mere, thoda thoda paas!
