venu lo, gooanje dhara mere salone shyam
eshiya ki gopiyoan ne veni baandhi hai
gooanjate hoan gan,girate hoan amit abhiman
tarakoan-si nrity ne barat sadhi hai.
yug-dhara se drig-dhara tak khianch madhur lakir
uth p de haian charan kitane la dale chhum se
aj anu ne pralay ki tika
vishv-shishu karata raha pran-vad jab tumase.
shil se lag panchashil bana, lagi phir ho d
vikal agi par trinoan ke mol ki bakavas
bhattiyaan haian, ham shanti-rakshak haian
kyoan vikas kare bh dakata vishv satyanash !
ved ki-si vaniyoan-si nimnaga ki dau d
rrishi-guha-sankalp se ooanche uthe nagaraj
ghoomati dharati, sisakati pran vali saans
shyam tumako khojati, boli vivash vah aj.
aj bal se, madhur bali ki, yoan chhi de phir ho d
jagat mean ubharean amit nirman, phir nirman,
shvas ke pankhe jhalean, le ek aur hilor
jahaan vrajavasini pukarean vahaan bhej tran.
haian tumhare sath vanshi ke uthe se vansh
aur apamanit utha rakkhe adhar par gan!
ras baras uttha rasa se kasamasahat le
khul gaye haian kan ashatit ahat le.
yah uthi aradhika si radhika rasaraj
vikal yamuna ke svaroan phir bin boli aj!
kshudhit phan par krudhit phani ki nrity kar ganatantr
sarjana ke tantr le, madhu-archana ke mantr!
aj koee vishv-daity tumhean chunauti de
au mahabharat n ho paye sakhe! sukumar
balavati akshauhiniyaan vishv-nash karean
`shastr maian looanga nahian' ki kar sako huankar.
kintu pran ki, pran ki bazi jage us din
ho ki is bhoo-bhag par hi jis kisi ka var!
tab hatheli garvitaean, koti shir-gan dekh
vijay par hans kar manavean la dala tyauhar.
aj pran vasundhara par yoan bike se haian
maran ke sanket jivan par likhe se haian
mrityu ki kimat chukayeange sakhe ! may sood
drishti par him shail ho, har saans mean barood.
jag uthe nepal prahari, hans uthe gandhar
udadhi-jvaroan um d ay vasundhara mean pyar
abhay vairagin pratiksha amar bole bol
eshiya ki gop-bala uthean veni khol!
nasht hone do sakhe! sanhar ke sau kam
venu lo, gooanje dhara, mere salone shyam..
