shyam ki yaad

nand ke laal yashodā ke dulāre mohan

ham tirī yaad meñ betāb haiñ saare mohan

rote rote huī bhagtoñ kī tire umr basar

kis musībat meñ shab-o-roz guzāre mohan

nām-levā tire duniyā se miTe jaate haiñ

jāñ-ba-lab haiñ tirī āñkhoñ ke sitāre mohan

jis ko kartā thā kaleje se ghaḌī bhar na judā

chhoḌ rakhā hai use kis ke sahāre mohan

phir vahī sāñvlī chhab aa.e nazar bhagtoñ ko

nand kī god meñ jamunā ke kināre mohan

nand baabā kī kuTī ho ga.ī suunī tujh bin

phīke mathurā ke hue saare nazāre mohan

dard-mandoñ ko kaleje se lagāne vaale

'āftāb' aaj musībat meñ pukāre mohan

nand ke lal yashoda ke dulare mohan

hum teri yaad mein betab hain sare mohan

rote rote hui bhagton ki tere umr basar

kis musibat mein shab-o-roz guzare mohan

nam-lewa tere duniya se miTe jate hain

jaan-ba-lab hain teri aankhon ke sitare mohan

jis ko karta tha kaleje se ghaDi bhar na juda

chhoD rakha hai use kis ke sahaare mohan

phir wahi sanwli chhab aae nazar bhagton ko

nand ki god mein jamuna ke kinare mohan

nand baba ki kuTi ho gai suni tujh bin

phike mathura ke hue sare nazare mohan

dard-mandon ko kaleje se lagane wale

'aftab' aaj musibat mein pukare mohan
