Prem Gaathaa

ek thaa kaale mu(n)h kaa bandar
vah bandar thaa baḌaa sikandar.

usakee dost thee ek chhuchhundar
vah thee chaand sareekhee sundar.

dono gaye baagh ke andar
unhonne khaayaa ek chukandar.

vahaa(n) khaḌaa thaa ek muchhandar
vah thaa pooraa mast kalandar.

usane maaraa aisaa mantar
baaग़ ban gayaa ek samundar.

usamen aayaa baḌaa bavanDar
paanee men bah gayaa muchhandar.

ek Daal par laTakaa bandar
bandar par chaḌh gayee chhchhundar.

itanee zor se koodaa bandar
ve dono aa gaye jalandhar.

taa-tei karake naachaa badanr
kathak karane lagee chhachhundar.

aise dono dost dhurandhar
ha(n)sate gaate rahe nirantar.
