I wrote this one last year this time around for a prompt by #blogadda recapitulating all the ups and downs of the year. I felt the same when I read it today. Although there are a lot of new and wonderful things happening around but this one can still sum it up all. Hope you like it 🙂
I’ll look back on this and smile
because it was life
and I decided to live it:-)
कुछ खट्टा कुछ मीठा
के ख़ूब रहा ये साल,
कुछ क़िस्से हैं, कुछ कहानी हैं ;
कुछ बीत गया, कुछ बाकी है ,
कुछ बातें हैं जो बतानी हैं ;
पा लिया कुछ, तो कुछ ख़्वाब ही हैं,
के इसी का नाम तो ज़िंदगानी है;
कभी ख़ुशी मिली, कभी आँसू,
के तक़दीर बड़ी सयानी है;
कभी जीत मिली, कभी सीख ,
कुछ मंज़िलें हैं, जो अभी पानी हैं;
कोई छूट गया, कोई साथ रहा,
के तस्वीरें कुछ धुँधली, तो कुछ जानी-पहचानी हैं;
कुछ याद रहा, कुछ भूल गया,
के बातें कुछ कहनी हैं, कुछ छुपानी हैं;
जो बीत गया, वो फसाना था,
के तस्वीर तो अभी बनानी है;
क्या ख़ूब रहा ये साल ,
और क्या ख़ूब ये कहानी है,
क्या ख़ूब ये कहानी है…

“Life always balances itself out…” Should be the mantra of our life. And your lines put things in that perspective so beautifully!! 🙂
