maian kab se dhooandh raha hooan
apane prakash ki rekha
tam ke tat par aankit hai
niahsim niyati ka lekha
dene vale ko ab tak
maian dekh nahian paya hooan,
par pal bhar sukh bhi dekha
phir pal bhar du:kh bhi dekha.
kis ka alok gagan se
ravi shashi udugan bikharate?
kis aandhakar ko lekar
kale badal ghir ate?
us chitrakar ko ab tak
maian dekh nahian paya hooan,
par dekha hai chitroan ko
ban-banakar mit-mit jate.
phir uthana, phir gir p dana
asha hai, vahian nirasha
kya adi-ant sansriti ka
abhilasha hi abhilasha?
ajnat desh se ana,
ajnat desh ko jana,
ajnat are kya itani
hai ham sab ki paribhasha?
pal-bhar parichit van-upavan,
parichit hai jag ka prati kan,
phir pal mean vahian aparichit
ham-tum, sukh-sushama, jivan.
hai kya rahasy banane mean?
hai kaun saty mitane mean?
mere prakash dikhala do
mera bhoola apanapan.
