kya poochhata hai,
kya ve phir aveange?
ah! yah to b da bedhab prashn kiya toone,
kiantu, prashn hi bhar bedhab hai,
uttar to sahaj hai.
asha barabar lagi hai ki ve aveange.
jis din asha toot jayegi,
us din sare kashtoan se chhutti mil jayegi.
us roop-sudha ko phir pan karane ki asha mean hi to
t dap rahi hooan.
pranapyare!
tumhare darshan ki asha hi to
tamam duahkhoan ka karan hai.
hay! yahi asha to bairin ho gayi.
