What alienated me from my Buddy?

I thought of writing this particular post about a year ago when I went to my village soon after my MBBS final prof. exams! But as the result was out... I got busy with the paper works initially and later with hectic, busy and tiring but learning Rotatory Internship Program at IGMC, Shimla and this thought of writing blog was lost somewhere in my brain... And today while waiting to get myself registered @ MCI I fortuitously remembered it while thinking about my friends back there at IGMC and the future ahead...

So, here it is...  

I once had a very good friend...

अजनबी...

मन आज व्यथित है, आँखें नम
शायद मन में है कोई ग़म
प्रियजन छूटे
घर और शहर छूटे
अपने सारे छूटे,
और...
छूटा साथ दुःख-सुख के साथी का...

आज,
इस अजनबी शहर में, 
शहर की इस भीड़ में, 
अकेला रह गया हूँ शायद
हँसते मौज मानते इस शहर में 
अकेला ग़ुम-सा हो गया हूँ शायद...

अकेला ग़ुम-सा हो गया हूँ शायद...
