Akhir kya hai ye zindagi?

Akhir kya hai ye zindagi? Kisi ko milti hai sukoon bhari rahein, Kisi ko jeevan bhar bhagwan se shikayatein. Ek saans bhi kuch ke liye reham hai, Aur kuch ke liye toh bas ek aur imtihaan. Akhir kya hai ye zindagi? Kya sahi hai, kya galat – Kaise samjhein hum yeh baat? Lakeerein humne khud banayi hain, Par manzil kisne likhi hai? Akhir kya hai ye zindagi? Agar kathputliyon ki tarah hi nachna hai, Toh phir mehnat ka matlab kya? Jab dor kisi aur ke haathon mein ho, Toh sapne dekhna bhi dhoka lagta hai. Akhir kya hai ye zindagi? Koi “shukriya” kehta hai, toh koi “kyun?” Koi jeena chahta hai dobara, Aur koi bas jee raha hai, marne ka intezaar karte hue. Khoon se bhari aankhon ko, Kabhi phoolon ki chadar dikhai deti hai, Kabhi aag ugalta jwalamukhi. Kaise jeena hai zindagi ko? Aapke bharose, ya apni mehnat se? Agar likha hai ki khud hi banana hai raasta, Toh itni kathin pariksha kyun? Akhir kya hai ye zindagi?
