A Beautiful Poem

Hi All,
An extremely beautiful poem:

Umango'n ko sakhi,
pi ki nagarriya kaise le jau'n
kamar lachake mori,
ke bhaari gagariya kaise le jau'n


Dagar mein roop ke lobhi,
nagar mein man ke maile hai'n
Yaha'n paapi nazariyon ke,
hazaro'n jaal faile hai'n
Bhare'y baazar mein baa'li,
umariya kaise le le jau'n
kamar lachake mori,
ke bhaari gagariya kaise le jau'n


mohe duniya se dar la'ge
yahan lakon hai matwaa'le
njaa'ne koi albela moh'ey
kis rang mein rang daa'le
rangeelo'n mein kori
chunariyaa' kaise le jau' n
kamar lachake mori,
ke bhaari gagariya kaise le jau'n

lga'a ke haa'th mei'n menhdi
rcha ke naino'n me kajra
dulhan ban ke nikli hu'n
milege aj man basiy'a
sajan je dua'r se pya'si
gagariya le kaise jau'n

I don't know the poet, but this is a song from some very old hindi movie (may be one of those made in Lahore before independence).....the music and the rendition are even better, vist: http://www.youtube.comwatch?v=edG1l8xD1g4&feature=channel
