nahian, nihian, priyatam!
mera dharm yah nahian hai.
ab maian samajh gayi.
pata nahian tum kis kshan a jao,
akar apani vastuoan ko is dasha mean dekhoge
to mujhe kya kahoge.
dekho pyare!
aj maianne khoob achchhi tarah snan kiya hai,
tumhare priy sughar, chikane tatha gore aangoan ko nikhar diya hai,
sugandhit aangarag bhi lep liya hai.
dekho madhav!
meri yah choonar kitani achchhi hai,
hay, meri aj ki vesh-bhoosha tum dekhate to kahate!
shvet aur sugandhit pushpoan se yukt meri veni kaisi lahara rahi hai.
kiantu kanha!
yah sab to kar liya, ab karooan kya?
ah, kahian tum kadamb par chadhe baithe hote,
madhur-madhur murali terate hote.
kaun jane, shayad baithe hi hoan.
to udhar hi chalooan,
