Shudra Kee Mahimaa - Shyamanand Kishore. काव्यालय| Kaavyaalaya: House of Hindi Poetry

shuddh sonaa kyon banaayaa, prabhu, mujhe tumane,
kuchh milaavaT chaahie galahaar hone ke lie.
       jo milaa tumamen bhalaa kyaa
       bhinnataa kaa svaad jaane,
       jo niyam men bandh gayaa
       vah kyaa bhalaa apavaad jaane!
jo rahaa samakakSh, karuNaa kee milee kab chhaanh usako
kuchh giraavaT chaahie, uddhaar hone ke lie.
       jo ajanmaa hai, unhen is
       indradhanuShee vishv se sanbandh kyaa!
       jo n peeḌaa jhel paaye svayan,
       doosaron ke lie unako dvandv kyaa!
ek sraShTaa shoony ko shrRngaar sakataa hai
moh kuchh to chaahie, saakaar hone ke lie!
       kyaa nidaagh naheen pravaasee baadalon se
       kheench saavan dhaar laataa hai!
       nirjharon ke pattharon par geet likkhe
       kyaa naheen phenil, madhur sangharSh gaataa hai!
hai abhaav jahaa(n), vaheen hai bhaav durlabh -
kuchh vikarShaN chaahie hee, pyaar hone ke lie!
       vaady yantr n dRShTi path, par ho,
       madhur jhankaar lagatee aur bhee!
       virah ke madhuvan sareekhe deekhate
       hain kShaNik sahavaas vaale Thaur bhee!
saath rahane par naheen hotee sahee pahachaan!
chaahie dooree tanik, adhikaar hone ke lie!

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।
