uddhav ! tum mujhako kisaka yah suna rahe kaisa sandesh ?
bhula rahe kyoan mithya kahakar? priyatam kahaan gaye paradesh ?
dekhe bina mujhe, palabhar bhi kabhi nahian ve rah pate !
kshanabhar mean vyakul ho jate, kaise chho d chale jate ?
maian bhi unase hi jivit hooan, ve hi haian pranoan ke pran.
chho d chale jate to kaise tan mean rah pate ye pran ?
dekho-vah dekho, kaise mridu-mridu musakate nand-kishor.
kh de kadab-mool, apalak ve jhaank rahe haian meri or॥
dekho, kaise matt ho rahe, mere mukhako pankaj man.
pran-priyatamake drig-madhukar madhur kar rahe haian ras-pan॥
bhrukuti chalakar, drig matakakar mujhe kar rahe ve sanket.
ati atur ekant kuj mean bula rahe haian pran-niket॥
kaise tum bhauanchak-se hokar dekh rahe kadamb ki or ?
kya tum nahian dekh pate ? ya dekh rahe ho prem-vibhor ?
haian ! yah kya? sahasa ve kaise, kahaan ho gaye antardhan ?
hay kyoan nahian dikh rahe mujhako man-mohan mod-nidhan ?
aankhamichauni lage khelane kya ve lilamay phir aj ?
dikha diya maianne tumako, kya isase unhean a gayi laj ?
nahian, nahian ! tab kya ve chale gaye sachamuch hi mujhako chho d ?
mujhe banakar amit abhagini, hay ! gaye mujhase mukh mo d ?
