udee ek aphavaah, soory kee shaadee hone vaalee hai,
var ke vimal maur mein motee usha piraane vaalee hai.
mor karenge naach, geet koyal suhaag ke gaegee,
lata vitap mandap-vitaan se vandan vaar sajaegee!
jeev-jantu bhar gae khushee se, van kee paant-paant dolee,
itane mein jal ke bheetar se ek vrddh machhalee bolee-
‘‘saavadhaan jalacharo, khushee mein sabake saath nahin phoolo,
byaah soory ka theek, magar, tum itanee baat nahin bhoolo.
ek soory ke hee maare ham vipad kaun kam sahate hain,
garmee bhar saare jalavaasee chhatapat karate rahate hain.
agar soory ne byaah kiy, das-paanch putr janmaega,
socho, tab utane sooryon ka taap kaun sah paega?
achchha hai, sooraj kvaanra hai, vansh viheen, akela hai,
is prachand ka byaah jagat kee khaatir bada jhamela hai.’’
