jab us kii tasviir banaayaa kartaa thaa
— Tahzeeb Hafi
Jab us kee tasveer banaayaa kartaa thaa
Kamraa rangon se bhar jaayaa kartaa thaa
PeD mujhe hasrat se dekhaa karte the
Main jangal men paanee laayaa kartaa thaa
Thak jaataa thaa baadal saaya karte karte
Aur phir main baadal pe saaya kartaa thaa
BaiThaa rahtaa thaa saahil pe saaraa din
Dariyaa mujh se jaan chhuDaayaa kartaa thaa
Bint-e-sahraa rooThaa kartee thee mujh se
Main sahraa se ret churaayaa kartaa thaa
