आस का गीत

There is so much happening in the world, some fill hope and some feel hopeless. In recent months I learnt about some old friends losing their jobs to cost cutting and some feeling too depressed. Also a few others who are battling with some ailment. Thinking about them I wrote the lines below and want to share as a verse of hope (आस का गीत in Hindi) , the theme is "however dark the nights a new Dawn always follow." Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. 



रास्ता भटका नहीं हैं, 
भले  मंज़िल अभी नहीं मिल रही           
बगीचा महकेगा, 
भले कलियाँ अभी नहीं खिल रही




रात है काली  तो क्या? 
दिन कितना ही दूर होगा?
अंधेरा खुद भागेगा जब 
उगते सूरज का नूर होगा



जब तक सुबह न आ जाये , 
चलो तब तक सपने बोते हैं
जो रात की स्याही से न डरे
उसी के दिन रौशन होते हैं


दिन निकलेगा तो राह 
खुद ही मिल जाएगी
गुनगुनी धूप में कलियाँ 
खुद ही खिल जाएंगी




धीरज और उम्मीद के दो किनारे 
मजबूत रखो तो ही 
जिंदगी की नदी खुशी की लहरें 
में से  मुस्कुरायेगी

  6. Reminds me a line from a popular 90s song:

    दिल दुखा है लेकिन टूटा तो नहीं है
    उमीद का दामन चूका तो नहीं है !!
