main banee madhumaas aalee!
aaj madhur vishaad kee ghir karun aaee yaaminee,
baras sudhi ke indu se chhitakee pulak kee chaandanee
umad aaee ree, drgon mein
sajani, kaalindee niraalee!
rajat svapnon mein udit apalak viral taaraavalee,
jaag suk-pik ne achaanak madir pancham taan leen;
bah chalee nishvaas kee mrdu
vaat malay-nikunj-vaalee!
sajal romon mein bichhe hai paanvade madhusnaat se,
aaj jeevan ke nimish bhee doot hai agyaat se;
kya na ab priy kee bajegee
muralika madhuraag vaalee?
