itane praan, itane haath, inatee buddhi
itana gyaan, sanskrti aur antahshuddhi
itana divy, itana bhavy, itanee shakti
yah saundary, vah vaichitry, eeshvar-bhakti
itana kaavy, itane shabd, itane chhand –
jitana dhong, jitana bhog hai nirbandh
itana goodh, itana gaadh, sundar-jaal –
keval ek jalata saty dene taal.
chhodo haay, keval ghrna au durgandh
teree reshamee vah shabd-sanskrti andh
detee krodh mujhako, khoob jalata krodh
tere rakt mein bhee saty ka avarodh
tere rakt se bhee ghrna aatee teevr
tujhako dekh mitalee umad aatee sheeghr
tere hraas mein bhee rog-krmi hain ugr
tera naash tujh par kruddh, tujh par vyagr.
meree jvaal, jan kee jvaal hokar ek
apanee ushnata mein dho chalen avivek
too hai maran, too hai rikt, too hai vyarth
tera dhvans keval ek tera arth.
