Harivansh Rai Shrivastav alias Bachchan (27 November 1907 – 18 January 2003), was a noted Indian poet of the Chhayavaad literary movement (romantic upsurge) of early 20th century Hindi literature. Prateeksha is one of his famous poems which reads like: “Madhur Prateeksha hi jab itnee, Priye tum aate tab kya hota? Maun raat is bhaanti ki jaise, koi geet veena par baj kar. Abhi abhi soi khoi si, sapno mein taaron par sir dhar.

Aur dishaaon se prati-dhwaniyaan, Jagrat swaro si aati hain. Kaan tumhaari taan kahin se, yadi sun paate tab kya hota? Tumne kab di baat, raat ke soone mein tum aane waale.

Par aise hi waqt praan mann mere ho uth-te matwaale. Saanse ghoom-ghoom phirphir se, asmanjas ke kshan ginti hain. Milne ki ghadiyaan tum nishchit yadi kar jaate tab kya hota?”
