vismRti kee laharen
oo(n)chee uTh rahee hain
iti kee yah taTinee
baaḌh par hai ab
Dhah rahee hain man se ghaTanaae(n)
chhoTee-baDee yaaden aur chehare
jinakaa main sab-kuchh jaanataa thaa
jinhen main lagabhag paryaay maanataa thaa
apane hone kaa
sab kinaare ke vRkShon kee tarah
gir-girakar bahate jaa rahe hain
meree iti kee dhaar men
door-door se vyakti-vRkSh
aa rahe hain aur
main unhen halkaa-halkaa
pahachaan rahaa hoo(n)
jaan rahaa hoo(n) beech-beech men
ki iti kee taTinee
baaḌh par hai
oo(n)chee uTh rahee hain
vismRti kee laharen !
