jane ke ek din pahale tak b de anand se
sath nache-koode,
mano jivanabhar aisa hi karana hai,
aur achanak doosare din
kroor akroor ke sath rath mean baithakar chal diye.
mukh par tanik bhi udasi nahian,
tanik bhi chinta nahian.
ham roti-bilabilati rah gayian,
ap rath se n utare,
rathapar se hi samajha-bujha diya.
yahi tumhara prem tha?
sach kahati hooan kanhaiya!
ab tum milo to tumhean ji bharakar kosooan,
tumhari murali to dakar tuk de-tuk de kar dooan.
tumhari or takooan bhi nahian,
tum manate-manate har jao,
pair pak dakar bar-bar kshama maango,
tab kahian bolooan.
magar tum to ate hi nahian,
hay ram! kya karooan?
