Todtee Patthar - Suryakant Tripathy 'Nirala'. काव्यालय| Kaavyaalaya: House of Hindi Poetry

vah toD़tee patthar;
dekhaa use mainne ilaahaabaad ke path par—
vah toD़tee patthar.

koee n chhaayaadaar
peD़ vah jisake tale baiThee huee sveekaar;
shyaam tan, bhar ba(n)dhaa yauvan,
nat nayan priy, karm-rat man,
guru hathauD़aa haath,
karatee baar-baar prahaar :—
saamane taru-maalikaa aTTaalikaa, praakaar.

chaDh़ rahee thee dhoop;
garmiyon ke din
divaa kaa tamatamaataa roop;
uThee jhulasaatee huee loo,
ruee jyon jalatee huee bhoo,
gard chinageen chhaa gaeen,
praay: huee dupahar :—
vah toD़tee patthar.

dekhate dekhaa mujhe to ek baar
us bhavan kee or dekhaa, chhinnataar;
dekhakar koee naheen,
dekhaa mujhe us dRShTi se
jo maar khaa roee naheen,
sajaa sahaj sitaar,
sunee mainne vah naheen jo thee sunee jhankaar
ek kShaN ke baad vah kaa(n)pee sughar,
Dhulak maathe se gire seekar,
leen hote karm men phir jyon kahaa—
‘main toD़tee patthar.’

too j़indaa hai to j़indagee kee jeet pe yak़een kar
agar kaheen hai svarg to utaar laa j़meen par.

ye subah-o-shaam ke ra(n)ge hue gagan ko choomakar
too sun j़meen gaa rahee hai kab se jhoom-jhoom kar!

too aa meraa singaar kar too aa mujhe haseen kar.

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।

Daratee hai kainavas kee us saadagee se
jise aakRti ke maadhyam kee aavashyakataa naheen
jo kuchh rache jaane ke liye
