Mere Sambandheejan

samaadhi ke vistRt mahaakakSh men,
jo laakhon jhilamilaate prakaashon se deept,
aur barpheele baadal kee chitr yavanikaa se shobhaayamaan hai,
mainne gupt roop se apane sabhee — deen-heen, garvit sambandheejanon ko dekhaa.

mahaan preetibhoj sangeet se umaḌaa,
om kaa nagaaḌaa bajaa apanee taal men.
atithi naanaa prakaar ke saje,
kuchh saadhaaraN, kuchh shaanadaar poshaakon men.

chahu(n) or vividh vishaal mezon ke
pRthvee, chandramaa, soory aur taaron ke,
asankhy maun yaa mukhar atithi
manaa rahe utsaah se preetibhoj devee prakRti kaa.

nanhen netron vaalee, chamakadaar ret,
pyaasee, mahaasaagar ke jeevan kaa karatee paan :
laḌaa thaa ek baar main yaad hai mujhe achchhee tarah
ret-sambandhiyon ke saath, samudr kee ek chuskee ke lie.

haa(n), main un puraanee chaTTaanon ko jaanataa hoo(n)
jinhonne mujhe apanee pathareelee god men thaame rakhaa
jab main, ek shishu paudhaa,
ati mukt havaaon ke sang uḌ chalane se thaa naaraaj.

bharat pakShee, koyal, teetar madhur,
hiraN, bheḌ, sinh mahaan,
shaark aur samudr ke jeev vishaal,
prem aur shaanti men kiyaa sabane abhivaadan meraa.
jab pratham paramaaNu aur taaraadhool, prakaT hue
jab ved, baaibal, kuraan, gaae gae
main shaamil huaa pratyek gaayak-maNDal men; unake aady romaanchak geet
ab bhee uchch svar men hain goonjate, meree aatmaa men.
