sooraj jab
kiraNon ke biij-ratn
dharatii ke praangaN men
bokar
haaraa-thakaa
sved-yukt
rakt-vadan
sindhu ke kinaare
nij thakan miTaane ko
nae giit paane ko
aayaa,
tab nirmam us sindhu ne Dubo diyaa,
oopar se laharon kii andhiyaalii chaadar lii Dhaanp
aur shaant ho rahaa.
lajjaa se aruN huii
taruN dishaaon ne
aavaraN haTaakar nihaaraa dRishy nirmam yah!
krodh se himaalay ke vansh-varttiyon ne
mukh-laal kuchh uThaayaa
fir maun sir jhukaayaa
jyon – 'kyaa matalab?'
ek baar sahamii
le kampan, romaanch vaayu
fir gati se bahii
jaise kuchh nahiin huaa!
main taTasth thaa, lekin
iishvar kii shapath!
sooraj ke saath
hRiday Doob gayaa meraa.
anagin kSaNon tak
stabdh khaDaa rahaa vahiin
kSubdh hRiday lie.
au' main svayan Doobane ko thaa
svayan Doob jaataa main
yadi mujhako vishvaas yah n hotaa –-
'main kal fir dekhoongaa yahii soory
jyoti-kiraNon se bharaa-pooraa
dharatii ke urvar-anurvar praangaN ko
jotataa-botaa huaa,
hansataa, khush hotaa huaa.'
iishvar kii shapath!
is andhere men
usii sooraj ke darshan ke lie
jii rahaa hoon main
kal se ab tak!
