GAREEB KI KAHANI

Gareeb ka yeh kaisa darpan sanjoya hai,

Simte kuch sapne aur kuch aasha hai,

Uchchai par pahuchne ki uski abhilasha hai,

Maa Baap ki daaridrata aur chand lavzo ka saaya hai.

(Meaning : Ek gareeb palta hai badta hai apne maa baap ke sapne sakaar karta hai. Uske paas sirf thode paise aur maa baap ki seekh hoti hai.)

Apni manzil ki talash main woh kaha kho gaya,

Yeh Dil uska ek SITAARE par aake rook gaya,

Dil aur dimag  main yeh kaisa yudh chhidha,

Jin sapno ko woh poora karne tha chala,
Ab un sapno mein hi SITAARE ki jhalak dekhne laga.
Kaha ek gareeb SITAARE ko paane ke sapne dekhne laga,
Use apni hesiyat ka bilkul thikana na raha.

(Meaning : Ek din aesa aaya use ek TAARE se pyaar ho gaya. Uski ankhon ki chamak dekh woh kaha kho gaya bas ussi ko apni manzil bana betha. ab usko apne sapno se milana hi uski sifarish hai)

Aansuyo main ghol raha tha dua apni mang baitha use TAABEER (haqiqat),
Sajde main bhi jhukkar ban rahi thi sirf usi ki tasweer,
Har cheez main chitra ban raha kaise mange use takdeer,
Kaise kahe woh mere zehan main basi bata to koi TADBEER (zariya).

(Meaning : Ab ro kar mang raha tha use haqiqat. Kaise mangta jab bhagwan se sajde main mang raha tha tab bas us taare ki tasweer ban rahi thi. Ab kisse mangta use jab bhagwan main hi wohi dikh rahi thi)
