chadar-si odh kar ye chhayaean
tum kahaan chale yatri, path to hai baean.
dhool p d gee hai pattoan par daloan lataki kiranean
chhote-chhote paudhoan ko char rahe bag mean hiranean,
donoan hath budhape ke thar-thar kaanpe sab or
kintu aansuoan ka hota hai kitana pagal zor-
badh ate haian, chadh ate haian, g de hue hoan jaise
unase batean kar pata hooan ki maian kuchh jaise-taise.
parvat ki ghati ke pichhe luka-chhipi ka khel
khel rahi hai vayu shish par sari daniya jhel.
chhote-chhote kharagoshoan se utha-utha sir badal
kisako pal-pal jhaank rahe haian asaman ke pagal?
ye ki pavan par, pavan ki in par, pheank nazar ki dori
khianch rahe haian kisaka man ye donoan chori-chori?
phail gaya hai parvat-shikharoan tak basant manamana,
patti, kali, phool, daloan mean dikh raha mastana.
