nirmam naata tod jagat ka amarapuree kee or chale,
bandhan-mukti na huee, janani kee god madhuratam chhod chale.
jalata nandan-van pukaarata, madhup! kahaan munh mod chale?
bilakh rahee yashuda, maadhav! kyon muralee manju marod chale?
ubal rahe sab sakha, naash kee uddhat ek hilor chale;
pachhataate hain vadhik, paap ka ghada hamaara phod chale.
maa rotee, bahanen karaahateen, ghar-ghar vyaakulata jaagee,
upal-sareekhe pighal-pighal tum kidhar chale mere baagee?
