Jab Neend Naheen Aatee Hogee

kyaa tum bhee sudhi se thake praaN le-lekar akulaatee hogee!
                       jab neend naheen aatee hogee!
dinabhar ke kaary-bhaar se thak jaataa hogaa joohee-saa tan,
shram se kumhalaa jaataa hogaa mRdu kokaabelee-saa aanan.
lekar tan-man kee shraanti paḌee hogee jab shayyaa par chanchal,
kis marm-vedanaa se krandan karataa hogaa prati rom vikal
aa(n)khon ke ambar se dheere-se os Dhulak jaatee hogee!
                       jab neend naheen aatee hogee!
jaise ghar men deepak n jale le vaisaa andhakaar tan men,
amaraaee men bole n pikee le vaisaa soonaapan man men,
saathee kee Doob rahee naukaa jo khaḌaa dekhataa ho taT par -
usakee-see liye vivashataa tum rah-rah jalatee hogee kaatar.
tum jaag rahee hogee par jaise duniyaa so jaatee hogee!
                       jab neend naheen aatee hogee!
ho chhalak uThee nirjan men kaalee raat avash jyon anajaane,
chhaayaa hogaa vaisaa hee bhayakaaree ujaḌaapan sirahaane,
jeevan kaa sapanaa TooT gayaa - chhooTaa aramaanon kaa sahachar,
ab sheSh naheen hogee praaNon kee kShubdh rulaaee jeevan bhar!
kyon soch yahee tum chintaakul apane se bhay khaatee hogee?
                       jab neend naheen aatee hogee!

chhoTe-chhoTe joote laain men rakhe the,
maasoom aa(n)khon men Dar chipakaa thaa,
naam, dharm, umr — sab miTaa die gae,

aao ham n sochen kuchh,

bas yoo(n) hee dekhen sab kuchh,
itmeenaan se...
jiyen is pal ke gumaan se,
jo rok rahaa hamen,
kaun saa yah bhram hai?

मुझमें ऐसी तरलता हो जैसे कि मुझमें नदी बह रही हो। मेरे तट पर टीलों पर मन्दिर हों और प्रिय-अप्रिय सभी को मैं स्वीकारूँ -- मच्छ मगर घड़ियाल, सभी का रहना मुझमें हो। मेरा बदन काट कर नहरें सभी को पोषण पहुँचाएँ।
