is geet-kavi ko kyaa huaa?
ab gunagunaataa tak naheen.
isane rache jo geet
jag ne patrikaaon
men paḌhe.
mukharit hue
to bhajan-jaise
anaginat hoThon chaḌhe.
honThon chaḌhe, ve man-bindhe
ab geet gaataa tak naheen.
anuraag, raag
viraag par sau
vyang-shar isane sahe.
jab-jab hue
geele nayan tab-tab
lagaaye kahakahe.
vah aTTahaason kaa dhanee
ab muskuraataa tak naheen.
melon tamaashon men
lie isako phiree
aavaaragee.
kuchh DhoonDhatee-see
dRShTi men har shaam
madhushaalaa jagee.
ab bheeḌ dikhatee hai jidhar
us or jaataa tak naheen.
