Mujhe Pukaar Lo - Harivansh Rai Bachchan

Mujhe Pukaar Lo

iseelie khaḌaa rahaa ki tum mujhe pukaar lo!


zameen hai n bolatee n aasamaan bolataa,

jahaan dekhakar mujhe naheen jabaan kholataa,

naheen jagah kaheen jahaa(n) n ajanabee ginaa gayaa,

kahaa(n)-kahaa(n) n phir chukaa dimaag-dil TaTolataa,

kahaa(n) manuShy hai ki jo umeed chhoḌakar jiyaa,

iseelie khaḌaa rahaa ki tum mujhe pukaar lo


iseelie khaḌaa rahaa ki tum mujhe pukaar lo!


timir-samudr kar sakee n paar netr kee taree,

vinaShT svapn se ladee, viShaad yaad se bharee,

n kool bhoomi kaa milaa, n kor bhor kee milee,

n kaT sakee, n ghaT sakee virah-ghiree vibhaavaree,

kahaa(n) manuShy hai jise kamee khalee n pyaar kee,

iseelie khaḌaa rahaa ki tum mujhe dulaar lo!


iseelie khaḌaa rahaa ki tum mujhe pukaar lo!


ujaaḌ se lagaa chukaa umeed main bahaar kee,

nidaagh se umeed kee basant ke bayaar kee,

marusthalee mareechikaa sudhaamayee mujhe lagee,

angaar se lagaa chukaa umeed mai tuShaar kee,

kahaa(n) manuShy hai jise n bhool shool-see gaḌee

iseelie khaḌaa rahaa ki bhool tum sudhaar lo!


iseelie khaḌaa rahaa ki tum mujhe pukaar lo!

pukaar kar dulaar lo, dulaar kar sudhaar lo!

- Harivansh Rai Bachchan
