कृष्ण तुम जगन्नियंता हो, और हो मेरी मंज़िल भी,
तुम मेरी प्रार्थना सुनते हो और दुनिया से भी परिचित हो,
मुझे चाहिए जितना जो कुछ सदा मुझे दे देते हो,
किन्तु, इनसे हट कर जीवन में कुछ और दीजिये,
मुझे तुम्हारा मार्गदर्शन और बुद्धिमत्ता चाहिए,
हो जाए अदृश्य दृश्य जो राज्य तुम्हारा देख सकूँ
क्यों अपना याचक और दाता से आगे है संबंध नहीं?
क्यों इसे समझने की तुमने मुझको दी तौफ़ीक़ नहीं?
रहनुमा बनो, समझाओ मुझे मुझको क्या करना लाज़िम है,
तुम अगर मुझे बतला देते तो क्या मैं अमल नहीं करता?
इतने सारे पैगंबर, पर सब में क्यों अंतर्विरोध है,
सब नाम तुम्हारा ही लेते अपनी संतुष्टि के निमित्त,
मैं खुद ही से दुखी हुआ हूँ; हुआ लापता इतना,
कैसे जानूं बतलाओ है किस पर विश्वास मुझे करना?
How wonderful to see Krishna as the subject of your poem. Do you know Rajnish ji that Sri Krishna is my most favourite God? I am thrilled to see a poem on the divine flute player that too penned by Amir Khusro and translated by you. Krishnaya Tubhyam Namah! Beautiful work! Top Marks!
