Bahut Dino Ke Baad is the most celebrated and cited poem of Dr.Shailendra Nath Shrivastava
बहुत दिनों के बाद, किसी ने
लिया प्यार से नाम,
बहुत दिनों के बाद लगा,
ऐसी होती है, शाम !
बहुत दिनों के बाद, जेठ में,
सावन घिर आया है |
बहुत दिनों के बाद,ठूॅंठ का,
मन हरियाआ है
बहुत दिनों के बाद खुले,
मन के तहखाना,आज,
बहुत दिनों के बाद, बजा है
अंदर वाला साज !
