Purana Pedh

Bahut purana perh
Apne jad se hile
Kahin aur ja base
Aur aas paas hud-kump na ho
Bees pachhees kamzor paudhe
Aur koi dus-barah ghonsle
Tut-kar na gire
Ye kavya wali baat hai |

Perh ko phir se harepan ka haq dene ke bad
Jad ke paas nikle uske paudhe
Aur patton ki shanti mein chhipe ghonslon par
Ye rona - dhona?

Perh ko khulkar jeene do na,
Agle patjhar tak?
