jhuramut mein dupahariya kumhalaee
khoton par andhiyaaree chhaee
pashchim kee sunaharee dhundharaee
teelon par, taalon par
ikke dukke apane ghar jaane vaalon par
dheere-dheere utaree shaam !
aanchal se chhoo tulasee kee thaalee
deedee ne ghar kee dhibaree baalee
jamuhaee le lekar ujiyaalee
ja baithee taakhon mein
dheere-dheere utaree shaam !
is adhakachche se
ghar ke aangan
mein jaane kyon itana aashvaasan
paata hai yah mera toota man
lagata hai in pichhale varshon mein
sachche jhoothe sangharshon mein
is ghar kee chhaaya thee chhoot gaee anajaane
jo ab chhukakar mere siraahane
kahatee hai
” bhatako bebaat kaheen
lautoge apanee har yaatra ke baad yaheen !”
dheere dheere utaree shaam !
