mann mein sharaddha bhar le...

woh pooja bhi kaisi pooja
jisme sharaddha na hoye

baade-baade mandir mein

bhakt na aaye koi...

***

roz-roz japta rahe ram ka naam
par ram ka darshan na hoye

mara-mara keh kar bhi likh di ramayan

valmiki ki sharaddha aisi hoye...

***

bin mandir bhi ghanshyam dekhe
meera thi aisi diwani.

bin aakhiyan ke krishna dikhe

surdas ke mann ki aankhen suhani.

bin guru-darshan hi dhanudhar bane
aklavya ki bhakti nirali.

mann mein sharaddha bhar le

prem-pooja ki yahi hai nishani...
