path dekh bita dee rain
main priy pahachaanee nahin!
tam ne dhoya nabh-panth
suvaasit himajal se;
soone aangan mein deep
jala diye jhil-mil se;
aa praat bujha gaya kaun
aparichit, jaanee nahin!
main priy pahachaanee nahin!
dhar kanak-thaal mein megh
sunahala paatal sa,
kar baalaaroon ka kalash
vihag-rav mangal sa,
aaya priy-path se praat-
sunaayee kahaanee nahin!
main priy pahachaanee nahin!
nav indradhanush sa cheer
mahaavar anjan le,
ali-gunjit meelit pankaj-
-noopur roonajhun le,
phir aayee manaane saanjh
main besudh maanee nahin!
main priy pahachaanee nahin!
in shvaason ka itihaas
aankate yug beete;
romon mein bhar bhar pulak
lautate pal reete;
yah dhulak rahee hai yaad
nayan se paanee nahin!
main priy pahachaanee nahin!
ali kuhara sa nabh vishv
mite budbud-jal sa;
yah dukh ka raajy anant
rahega nishchal sa;
hoon priy kee amar suhaagini
path kee nishaanee nahin!
main priy pahachaanee nahin!
