Wo le gayi sare rango ko
Apni maang ke sindhur me smetkar
or chhod gyi pichhe ek thahri si mahfil jo berang h aaj uske bina
ek bahti si khamosi.
Or chhod gyi yaado ki dhadkan sabke dilo me
wo uska pyara bachpan wo
nadan si athakheliya
wo uske pero me bajti payal ki chham-chham
sab kuch gunjta h uske baba ke aangan me uske jane ke baad
uske ghar ki diware jin par
kbhi wo apni aankho ka kajal lga deti thi
kbhi sunkar daant kisi ki inme simat jaya krti thi
rang bhi khil jate the jin diwaro ke
uski chhuan bhar se
aaj wo bhi gumsum h uske jaane se
kbhi wo bde chhav se, raho me bajti sahnaiya sunti thi
kbhi khawabo me kisi ki tasveer bunti thi
bde sok se lgati thi bindiya apne maathe par
or khud ko aaine me niharti thi
aaj bji h wo sahnai uske ghar me
aaya h uske khwabo ka rajkumar
uske aangan me
saji h maathe par uske bindiya
aankho me kajal
hatho me kngna or
pero me payal
saj snwarkar bethi h wo dulhan
aaj, apane dulhe ke sang
sayad! ab soch rhi h wo
jane kesi h ye ulghan
kesa h ye risto ka bhanwar?
Me manau khusi ek naye riste ke milan ki,
ki gam hajaro risto ke chut jane ka?
Kasmks bah rhi aaj uske man me
kya? Milaga maa ka aanchal muge, is riste me
papa ka dular bhai bahno ka ghagda kya? ye sab hoga us aangn me
nhi to fir bdal gyi meri duniya?
Ek khwab ke pure hote hi
soch rhi ab wo aankho me aansu bharkar
is dulhan se to wo dulhan achi thi
jo, apni maa ki chunri odhakar
mathe par kumkum lgakar
khud ko aaine me niharkar
khti thi muskurakar 'MAI DULHAN HUN'
