Ek mehal tha Raja ka ik Raj kumari thi

Ek mehal tha Raja ka ik Raj kumari hoti thi 
Us Raja ko apni Prajaa jaan say pyaari hoti thi  

Baba kehtay thay ye khandahar Sita-Ram ka mandir tha 
Us mandir ki ek pujaaran Ram Dulaari hoti thi 

Pushpa aur Radha bhi meri behanon jaisi hoti thi 
Mangal Das aur mera beta - gehari yaari hoti thi 

Ek diye ki lau mein Baba 'Meer aur Ghalib padhtay thay 
Ek angithee hoti thi aur ik almaari hoti thi 

Shaam dhalay ik lawn mein saaray baith kay chaaye peetay thay 
Maiz hamaara ghar ka tha - kursi sarkaari hoti thi 

Ek kuaan meethay paani ka aur ik boodha Bargad tha 
Ek mohabbat ka gehavaara basti saari hoti thi 

Meethay geeton ki vo risna meethi dhun aur meethay bol 
Poorn-Maashi par aangan mein shab-bedaari hoti thi 

Ab jo Mulla waiz karay to khauf saa aane lagtaa hai 
Mohan-Das say Naaten sun kar riqqat taari hoti thi

Rishton ka ehsaas lahoo kay andar rachtaa-bastaa tha 
Kab aesi nafsaa-nafsi aur maara-maari hoti thi?
