us prabhat, too bat n mane,
to d kund kaliyaan le aee,
phir unaki pankh diyaan to dian
par n vahaan teri chhavi paee,
kaliyoan ka yam mujh mean dhaya
tab sajan kyoan dau d n aya?
phir pankh diyaan oog uthian ve
phool uthi, mere vanamali!
kaise, kitane har banati
phool uthi jab dali-dali!
sootr, sahara, dhooandhan n paya
too, sajan, kyoan dau d n aya?
do-do hath tumhare mere
pratham `har' ke har banakar,
meri `haroan' ki van mala
phool uthi tujhako pahinakar,
par too tha sapanoan par chhaya
too sajan, kyoan dau d n aya?
dau di maian, too bhag n jaye,
dalooan galabahiyoan ki mala
phool uthi saansoan ki dhun par
meri `har', ki teri `mala'!
too chhup gaya, kisi ne gaya-
re sajan, kyoan dau d n aya!
ji ki mal, sugandh neh ki
sookh gee, u d gee, ki tab too
doolah bana; dau dakar bola
pahina do sookhi vanamala.
maian to hosh samet n paee
teri smriti mean pran chhupaya,
yug bola, too amar tasrn hai
mati ne smriti aanchal sarakaya,
ji mean khoja, tujhe n paya
too sajan, kyoan dau d n aya?
