phir kaheen madhumaas kee padachaap sun,
Daal menhadee kee lajeelee ho gaee.

       lagee sandal havaa chupake paa(n)v rakhane,
       raat-din phir kaan aahaT par lagaae
       lagaa mahuaa gandh kee bolee parakhane

divas maadak hosh khoe lag rahe,
saa(n)jh phaagun kee nasheelee ho gaee.

       ha(n)see shaakhon par ku(n)vaaree manjaree

ki main vivash saa gunagunaataa rahaa
saaree raat
us chhooTe hue TooTe hue sur ko
sunaharee panktiyon ke vastr pahanaataa rahaa
gaataa rahaa

yoo(n) chheD़ kar dhun koee sumadhur ruk gayaa
ki main maanas kee deevaaron par chitr bhar
le kalpanaa kee toolikaa
aur bhaav ke ujale basantee rang bharataa rahaa
jaise svapn se milane ko aatur

yoo(n) chheD़ kar dhun koee sumadhur ruk gayaa
main samay kee muktaavalee ko rakh pare
unmaad nayanon men bhare
visteerN nabh se dharaa tak Dhoo(n)Dhaa kiyaa
dhvanishrot
khoyaa thirakate pag kaa nupur

yoo(n) chheD़ kar dhun koee sumadhur
