mu(n)h Dhaa(n)k kar sone se bahut achchhaa hai,
ki uTho zaraa,
kamare kee gard ko hee jhaaḌ lo.
shelf men bikharee kitaabon kaa Dher,
tanik chun do.
chhitare-chhitaraae sab tinakon ko phenko.
khiḌakee ke uḌhake hue,
pallon ko kholo.
zaraa havaa hee aae.
sab raushan kar jaae.
... haa(n), ab Theek
tanik aahaT se baiTho,
jaane kis kShaN kaun aa jaae.
khulee huee fizaa(n) men,
koee geet hee lahar jaae.
aahaT men aise prateekShaatur dekh tumhen,
koee farishtaa hee aa paḌe.
maa(n)gane se jaane kyaa de jaae.
naheen to svarg se nirvaasit,
kisee apsaraa ko hee,
yahaa(n) aashray deekh paḌe.
khule hue dvaar se baḌee sanbhaavanaae(n) hain mitr!
naheen to jaane kyaa kaun,
dastak de-dekar lauT jaae(n)ge.
suno,
kisee aagat kee prateekShaa men baiThanaa,
mu(n)h Dhaa(n)k kar sone se bahut behatar hai.
