tum aatee ho,
nav angon ka
shaashvat madhu-vibhav lutaatee ho.
bajate ni:svar noopur chham-chham,
saanson mein thamata spandan-kram,
tum aatee ho,
antasthal mein
shobha jvaala lipataatee ho.
apalak rah jaate manonayan
kah paate marm-katha na vachan,
tum aatee ho,
tandril man mein
svapnon ke mukul khilaatee ho.
abhimaan ashru banata jhar-jhar,
avasaad mukhar ras ka nirjhar,
tum aatee ho,
aanand-shikhar
praanon mein jvaar uthaatee ho.
svarnim prakaash mein galata tam,
svargik prateeti mein dhalata shram
tum aatee ho,
jeevan-path par
saundary-rahas barasaatee ho.
jagata chhaaya-van mein marmar,
kamp uthatee rudhd sprha thar-thar,
tum aatee ho,
ur tantree mein
svar madhur vyatha bhar jaatee ho.
