chanchal pag dip-shikha-se dhar
grih,mag, van mean aya vasant!
sulaga phalgun ka soonapan
saundary-shikhaoan mean anant!
saurabh ki shital jvala se
phaila ur-ur mean madhur dah
aya vasant, bhar prithvi par
svargik sundarata ka pravah!
pallav-pallav mean naval rudhir
patroan mean maansal-rang khila,
aya nili-pili lau se
pushpoan ke chitrit dip jala!
adharoan ki lali se chupake
komal gulab ke gal laja,
aya, pankh diyoan ko kale--
pile dhabboan se sahaj saja!
kali ke palakoan mean milan-svapn,
ali ke antar mean pranay-gan
lekar aya, premi vasant,--
akul j d-chetan sneh-pran!
kali kokil!--sulaga ur mean
svaramayi vedana ka aangar,
aya vasant, ghoshit digant
karati bhav pavak ki pukar!
aah, priye! nikhil ye roop-rang
ril-mil antar mean svar anant
rachate sajiv jo pranay-moorti
usaki chhaya, aya vasant!
