A Thought, A Couplet

مجھ پہ چھا گیا ہے وہ جلوۂ صد رنگ کی طرح

جیسے کر لیا ہے تیرگی نے ہم سے اک سمجھوتا

Mujh pe chhaa gya hai vo jalva-e-sad-rang ki tarah

Jaise kar liya hai tirgii ne hum se ik samjhauta

(#Raza Elahi)

jalva-e-sad-rang = spectacle of a hundred shades/colour

tiirgii = darkness, gloom
