Lonely Journey....

" I come to this world all alone
And will go from this world all alone..
Leaving all my beloved ones in tears !
During this Journey, which u call-Life,
I make friends, New relations and
create memories, to make
My as well as your 'Journey'
a pleasant one !
but....
When 'the destination' arrives-
I don't look back
or hesitate to leave...
for this is the Ultimate truth!

I may not be with you today,
but my memories will always be...!
So, My friend!
Don't  miss me, don't shed a tear...
For you have responsibilities to shoulder"

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...
