kaTakaTaatee sheet men
soory ke saamane hee
aaj phir se
kal kee tarah
paaradarshee him part
mere hriday par paḌ gaee
aur mere gyaan kaa soory
dekhane bhar ko vivash thaa.

kar bhee sakataa kyaa bhalaa
paraten paḌeen jisake hraday par
haath ThiThure
pair ThiThure
aansuon par bhee lagaa ganbheer paharaa
aur meree is bebasee par
ha(n)s rahaa thaa koharaa
ho kar ke doharaa
..

jaane kyon tumase milane kee aashaa kam, vishvaas bahut hai.

sahasaa bhoolee yaad tumhaaree ur men aag lagaa jaatee hai
virah-taap bhee madhur milan ke soye megh jagaa jaatee hai,
mujhako aag aur paanee men rahane kaa abhyaas bahut hai
jaane kyon tumase milane kee aashaa kam, vishvaas bahut hai.

dhany-dhany meree laghutaa ko, jisane tumhen mahaan banaayaa,
dhany tumhaaree sneh-kRpaNataa, jisane mujhe udaar banaayaa,
meree andhabhakti ko keval itanaa mand prakaash bahut hai
jaane kyon tumase milane kee aashaa kam, vishvaas bahut hai.

agaNit shalabhon ke dal ke dal ek jyoti par jal-jal marate
ek boo(n)d kee abhilaaShaa men koTi-koTi chaatak tap karate,
shashi ke paas sudhaa thoD़ee hai par ..

ek samay kee baat hai, ek sanvedanasheel, snehil puruSh ne ek pyaaree, buddhu, Daree huee laḌakee ko ek eemel bhejaa.

vah laḌakee kisee baat se vichalit thee, aur aisee man:sthiti men usane kah Daalaa, “agar aisaa huaa, mere man men apane prati sammaan naheen bachegaa.“ vah "aisaa huaa" chaahe kuchh bhee ho, vah praasangik naheen.

vah laḌakee vichalit hone men vyast thee, to usake beech men us puruSh ne kuchh naheen kahaa. agale din unhonne ek eemel bhejaa.
