.

मिल गई आज आसमाँ से,
आ गई आगे मैं जहाँ से, येह क्या हुआ !
.
उडी, निंदे आँखो से !
जुडी, राते ख्वाबो से !
मुडी, ये जाने मैं कहां !
.
पांव झमीं पे है या बादल पे,
उलजे सितारे आ के आँचल से|
.
जि ली ऊमर सारी ईस पल में . .
कुछ भी नहीं अब मेरे कल में |
.

With very first reading we can face several problems with this song. very firstly, we cannot imagine that a sky can be a living being. If it is not so, than we cannot think of meeting with the sky.
.
Then describer says that she goes before the whole world. now, world is not in straight line, so that one can go before all of them.
.
Then she says she doesn't know whether her legs are on cloud or on earth. As we know that cloud are lighter in weight than of any human being. One cannot think of riding the cloud.
.
Later on she exclaimed that stars have come from freehand of her saree or dupatta. Stars are not something that is not ordinary or little in size.
.
Lastly, protagonist says she have nothing to do with tomorrow as well as yesterday. Whatever is there in her life, is her present moment and she is not concerned with any other moment of life. Now, present can't get disconnected with past or present. That all are interwoven with each other.
.
.
But, as a mature person of literature, we are not suppose to take the things as it is. We need to decode the words and we must try to get metaphysical image of same things or we will never enjoy the poetry.
.
In this song, what she actually wanted to say is thus.

The protagonist is in the state of mind in which she doesn't care of anybody. The level of Happiness is so high that she feels that she is at the height of the sky.

As she is fluttering on sky she thinks of herself as she is fairy queen and she can roam over the world through the cloud.

She is fully satisfied with the joy that she says whatever the beauty of life is, it is this moment only.
