phir nadee achaanak sihar uThee
yah kaun chhoo gayaa saa(n)jh Dhale

           sanyam se bahate hee rahanaa
           jisake svabhaav men shaamil thaa
           din-raat kaTaavon ke ghar men
           Dhahanaa bhee jisakaa laajim thaa

vah nadee achaanak lahar uThee
yah kaun chhoo gayaa saanjh Dhale

           chhoo liyaa kisee sudhi ke kShaN ne
           yaa chhandabharee puravaaee ne
           yaa phir gaharaate saavan ne
           yaa gandhamaee amaraaee ne

alasaayee dhaaraa sa(n)var uTheen
yah kaun chhoo gayaa saa(n)jh Dhale

           kaisaa phooTaa isake jal men -
           saragam, kisane sangeet rachaa
           milanaa mushkil jisakaa jag men
           kaise isamen vah geet bachaa

sote paanee men bha(n)var uThee
yah kaun chhoo gayaa saa(n)jh Dhale

jinake sir Dha(n)kane ke lie
chhaten hotee hain
vahee rakhate hain chhaate
