what's the aim?

whats the aim?
to study hard and start a job by twenty?
do you want to sit in a AC cabin?
or be all sweaty?

whats the aim?
do you want to have a family?
or you want to be the lone wolf?
and explore the life simply?

whats the aim?
the question asked most often and yet unanswered.
the question which on a whole,
determine a person's standard.

today i ask you

whats the aim?
are we here to work, breed and die?
or we are made to cry?

whats the aim?
working for 60 years.
and one day, you are gone.
leaving behind just memories and tears.

take a moment,
and have a dive,
in your deep thoughts,
and for me, define and live the life.

नन्ही सी जानें है प्यारी सी मुस्कानें है  चिंता और बिमारी में गुजरती इनकी श्यामें है, रक्त की आस में, बेठी माँ के पास में  अजनबियों से आस लगाए रेहती है प्यासी इन आँखों से पैगाम सुनाती रहती हैं कोई ऐसा आएगा सर पे हाथ रख के जाएगा  लहु से इनकी झोलीय खुशीयों से भर जाएगा, नस काटी है आशिकी में, खुन बहाया है दंगों में, ज़ाया ना करो रक्त तुम्हारा जो जान जगा दे अंगो में  खील उठेगा मन कोमल, जब चेहरों  पर मुस्कान होगी जिंदगी की जीत होगी, और बिमारीयों की हार होगी; ना अन्न से, ना पैसों से  किसी का कोई सम्मान होगा, लहु से ही खुशी मिलेगी, लहु से ही अब मान होगा,  ""जिंदगी फिर जी उठेगी जब रक्तदान महादान होगा,  जिंदगी फिर जी उठेगी जब रक्तदान महादान होगा""
