دامن چھڑا گئے ۔ جگر مرادابادی
شرما گئے لجا گئے دامن چھڑا گئے
اے عشق مرحبا وہ یہاں تک تو آ گئے
دل پر ہزار طرح کے اوہام چھا گئے
یہ تم نے کیا کیا مری دنیا میں آ گئے
سب کچھ لٹا کے راہ محبت میں اہل دل
خوش ہیں کہ جیسے دولت کونین پا گئے
صحن چمن کو اپنی بہاروں پہ ناز تھا
وہ آ گئے تو ساری بہاروں پہ چھا گئے
عقل و جنوں میں سب کی تھیں راہیں جدا جدا
ہر پھر کے لیکن ایک ہی منزل پہ آ گئے
اب کیا کروں میں فطرت ناکام عشق کو
جتنے تھے حادثات مجھے راس آ گئے
दामन छुड़ा गए
शरमा गए लजा गए दामन छुड़ा गए
ऐ इश्क़ मरहबा वो यहाँ तक तो आ गए
दिल पर हज़ार तरह के औहाम छा गए
ये तुम ने क्या किया मिरी दुनिया में आ गए
सब कुछ लुटा के राह-ए-मोहब्बत में अहल-ए-दिल
ख़ुश हैं कि जैसे दौलत-ए-कौनैन पा गए
सेहन-ए-चमन को अपनी बहारों पे नाज़ था
वो आ गए तो सारी बहारों पे छा गए
अक़्ल ओ जुनूँ में सब की थीं राहें जुदा जुदा
हिर-फिर के लेकिन एक ही मंज़िल पे आ गए
अब क्या करूँ मैं फ़ितरत-ए-नाकाम इश्क़ को
जितने थे हादसात मुझे रास आ गए

The beloved is playful and coy, pulls her skirt away (daaman chhuRaana is an expression to mean – get away, withdraw) and leaves. The poet/lover congratulates himself that she has come at least this far – well beyond disdain.

The beloved has “come into his world” – shown some interest in the poet/lover, tolerance of his attentions. This puts him under a delusion that she loves me.
