saa(n)jh kee belaa ghiree, maa(n)jhee!

ab jalaayaa deep hogaa re kisee ne
                           bhar nayan men neer,
aur gaayaa geet hogaa re kisee ne
                           saadh kar manjeer,
marm jeevan kaa bhare aviral bulaataa
                           sindhu sikataa teer,
svapn kee chhaayaa giree maa(n)jhee!

digvadhu-saa hee kiyaa hogaa kisee ne
                           kunkumee shrRngaar,
chhilamilaayaa som-saa hogaa kisee kaa
                           re rupahalaa pyaar,
lauTate rangeen vihagon kee dishaa men
                           moḌ do patavaar!
sRShTi to maayaa niree, maa(n)jhee!

'Chhaataa'
Prem Ranjan Animesh

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

har baar sochataa hoo(n)
ek chhat kaa jugaaḌ karu(n)gaa
aur loo(n)gaa ek chhaataa

is shahar ke logon ke paas
jo chhaataa hai
usamen

isalie
sochataa hoo(n)
main loo(n)gaa
to loo(n)gaa aasamaan
ki jisamen sab aa jaayen

aur baahar khaḌaa bheegataa rahe
bas meraa akelaapan

baraabar lagataa hai
chhaate
rishte naate hain
barasaat men kaam aate hain
aur akasar
chhooT jaate hain !
