भक्क्नो

मैले भन्न खोजेक कुराहरु । । ।
यी शब्दहरुमै हरायो । । ।
मनको भक्कानो  छात्ती चिरेर निस्कन खोज्दा  । । ।
मेरो रोधन मै भिलयो । । ।
परिवर्तनको आश्मा पैल बाराउद । । ।
सपना सबै ध्वन्श भयो । । ।
चिन्हारीको भेग म छ सबै । । ।
दोबाटोमा   आईपुगे  चोर्चन तुरा झै । । ।

आकांक्षा मेरो उड़ने झै बतास,
जसले गरे मेरो र्निमाण,
उसै संग जोडीएको मेरो प्राण,

उड़दा उड़दै भए म झसंग,
रुखको हांगोमा पारी,
बसेको छ एउटा चरी,
देखेर उसलाई मनमा मच्चियो खुलदुली,
