ambudhi laharon ke shor men
aseem shaanti kee anubhooti lie,
apanee laalimaa ke j़or se
ambar ke saath – laal saagar ko kie,
vihagon ke hoḌ ko
ghar lauT jaane kaa sandesaa die,
dinabhar kee bhaag dauD़ ko
sandhyaa men thak jaane ke lie
door kShitij ke moḌ pe
sooraj ko Doob jaate dekhaa!
tab, taT pe baiThe
is dRshy ko dekhate
nam aa(n)khen lie
baajuon ko aajaanuon se Tekate
is vyaakul man men
ek vichaar aayaa!
kintu us ulajhan kaa,
paraamarsh aaj bhee nahee paayaa!
kee jab vidaaee men ek dulhan rotee hai,
jab bin barakhaa-din men dhup khotee hai,
jab shaam andhere men sotee hai,
tab, kyaa udaasee khubasoorat nahee hotee hai?
