oosha ke sang, pahin arunima
meri surat bavali boli-
utar n sake pran sapanoan se,
mujhe ek sapane mean le le.
mera kaun kasala jhele?
ter ek-ek sapane par
sau-sau jag nyauchhavar raja.
chho da tera jagat-bakhe da
chal uth, ab sapanoan mean khelean?
mera kaun kasala jhele?
dekh, dekh, us or `mitr' ki
is bajoo pankaj ki doori,
aur dekh usaki kiranoan mean
yah hans-hans jay mala mele.
mera kaun kasala jhele?
pankaj ka hansana,
mera ro dena,
kya aparadh hua yah?
ki maian janm tujhamean le aya
upaja nahian kich ke dhele.
mera kaun kasala jhele?
to bhi maian oosha ke svar mean
phool-phool mukh-pankaj dhokar
ji, hans uthi aansuoan mean se
chhupi vedana mean ras ghole.
mera kaun kasala jhele?
kitani door?
ki itani doori!
ooge bhale prabhakar mere,
kyoan ooge? ji pahuanch n pata
yah abhag ab kisase khele?
mera kaun kasala jhele?
prat: aansoo dhulakakar bhi
khili pakhu diyaan, pankaj kilake,
maian bhaanvariya khel n jani
apane sajan se hil-mil ke.
mera kaun kasala jhele?
darpan dekha, yah kya dikha?
mera chitr, ki teri chhaya?
musakahat par chadhakar bairi
raha bikhere chamak ke dhele,
mera kaun kasala jhele?
yah prahar? chokha gath-bandhan!
chuanban mean yah mitha danshan.
`piye irade, khaye sankat'
itana kya kam hai apanapan?
bahut hua, ye chi diyaan chahakian,
le sapane phooloan mean le le.
mera kaun kasala jhele?
