maya ke mohak van ki kya kahooan kahani paradeshi?
bhay hai, sun kar hans doge meri nadani paradeshi!
srijan-bich sanhar chhipa, kaise batalaooan paradeshi?
saral kanth se visham rag maian kaise gaooan paradeshi?
ek bat hai saty ki jhar jate haian khilakar phool yahaan,
jo anukool vahi ban jata durdin mean pratikool yahaan.
maitri ke shital kanan mean chhipa kapat ka shool yahaan,
kitane kitoan se sevit hai manavata ka mool yahaan?
is upavan ki pagadandi par bachakar jana paradeshi.
yahaan menaka ki chitavan par mat lalachana paradeshi!
jagati mean madakata dekhi, lekin akshay tattv nahian,
akarshan mean tripti ur sundarata mean amaratv nahian.
yahaan prem mean mili vikalata, jivan mean paritosh nahian,
bal-yuvatiyoan ke aliangan mean paya santosh nahian.
hamean pratiksha mean n tripti ki mili nishani paradeshi!

mahapralay ki or sabhi ko is maroo mean chalate dekha ,
kis se lipat judata? sabako jvala mean jalate dekha
aantim bar chita-dipak mean jivan ko balate dekha;
chalat samay sikandar-se vijayi ko kar malate dekha.
sabane dekar pran maut ki kimat jani paradeshi.
