dhoop chidchidee, hava behaya,
din matamaila
mausam par rang chadha phaagunee,
shishir tootate
patton mein toota, palaash van
jyon phaila
ek udaasee ka nabh
shole chatak phootate
jis mein aramaanon se goonja
hiya — aaega
kal basant, man ke bhaavon ke
geetkaar-sa ga jaega sabaka kuchh-kuchh,
maun chhaega
gandh svaron se, gud kee gamak
hava ko sarsa
jaatee jaise poos maah mein,
nadiya hongeen
vyakt taton kee hariyaalee mein
khil, ughada-sa
kaheen na deekhega jeevan,
lagate jo yogee
ve anubhooti-pake taru phootenge,
jakada-sa
tab bhee kya chup rah jaega
pyaar hamaara ?
kuchh na kahega kya vasant ka
sandhya-taara ?
