Itne Oonche Utho - Dwarika Prasad Maheshwari. काव्यालय| Kaavyaalaya: House of Hindi Poetry

itane oo(n)che uTho ki jitanaa uThaa gagan hai.
      dekho is saaree duniyaa ko ek dRShTi se
      sinchit karo dharaa, samataa kee bhaav vRShTi se
           jaati bhed kee, dharm-vesh kee
           kaale gore rang-dveSh kee
           jvaalaaon se jalate jag men
itane sheetal baho ki jitanaa malay pavan hai..

naye haath se, vartamaan kaa roop sa(n)vaaro
nayee toolikaa se chitron ke rang ubhaaro
           naye raag ko nootan svar do
           bhaaShaa ko nootan akShar do
           yug kee nayee moorti-rachanaa men
itane maulik bano ki jitanaa svayan sRjan hai..

lo ateet se utanaa hee jitanaa poShak hai
jeerN-sheerN kaa moh mRtyu kaa hee dyotak hai
           toḌo bandhan, ruke n chintan
           gati, jeevan kaa saty chirantan
           dhaaraa ke shaashvat pravaah men
itane gatimay bano ki jitanaa parivartan hai.

chaah rahe ham is dharatee ko svarg banaanaa
agar kaheen ho svarg, use dharatee par laanaa
           sooraj, chaa(n)d, chaa(n)danee, taare
           sab hain pratipal saath hamaare
           do kuroop ko roop salonaa
itane sundar bano ki jitanaa aakarShaN hai..

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।
