kal aur aj mean kitana antar ho gaya.
kal yahian par kitani chahal-pahal thi,
yamuna ki lol lahariyaan bhi
vanshivale ki vanshipar nrity karati-si maloom hoti thian,
tat se takaranevali laharean tal-si deti thian,
kintu aj maloom hota hai ki ve hi lol lahariyaan
kisi ke viyog mean t dapakar chhatapata rahi haian.
tat ki laharean manoan apana math patak-patakakar ro rahi haian.
kal tak gayoan ka jhuand yahian data rahata tha,
aj sab chupachap pani pikar kisi ko dhooandhane-si chali jati haian.
upadravi gval-chhokaroan ke mare ji khijh jata tha,
aj kisi ka pata nahian.
‘pahale mera utha do’, ‘pahale mera utha do’ dhvani ke karan
koee bat sunayi nahian p dati thi,
aj sunane ke liye koee shabd hi nahian.
sthan n pane ke karan logoan ne
is ghatapar snan karana chho d diya tha,
badanam kar rakkha tha ki
is ghat mean to gopal, gopi aur gop-balakoan ki hi guzar hai,
aj yah shmashan bana hai.
