aah! vedana milee vidaee
mainne bhramavash jeevan sanchit,
madhukariyon kee bheekh lutaee
chhalachhal the sandhya ke shramakan
aansoo-se girate the pratikshan
meree yaatra par letee thee
neeravata anant angadaee
shramit svapn kee madhumaaya mein
gahan-vipin kee taru chhaaya mein
pathik uneendee shruti mein kisane
yah vihaag kee taan uthaee
lagee satrshn deeth thee sabakee
rahee bachae phiratee kab kee
meree aasha aah! baavalee
toone kho dee sakal kamaee
chadhakar mere jeevan-rath par
pralay chal raha apane path par
mainne nij durbal pad-bal par
usase haaree-hod lagaee
lauta lo yah apanee thaatee
meree karuna ha-ha khaatee
vishv! na sanbhalegee yah mujhase
isane man kee laaj ganvaee
