dvaabha ke ekaakee premee,
neerav digant ke shabd maun,
ravi ke jaate, sthal par aate
kahate tum tam se chamak–kaun?
sandhya ke sone ke nabh par
tum ujjval heerak sadrsh jade,
udayaachal par deekhate praat
angoothe ke bal hue khade!
ab soonee dishi au’ shraant vaayu,
kumhalaee pankaj-kalee srshti;
tum daal vishv par karun-prabha
aviraam kar rahe prem-vrshti!
o chhote shashi, chaandee ke udu!
jab jab phaile tam ka vinaash,
tum divy-doot se utar sheeghr
barasao nij svargik prakaash!
