नन्हा सा चिराग...

दूर कहीं एक,

नन्हा सा चिराग...

और मैं!

मुझे निगलता अँधेरा...

अँधेरे को निगलता चिराग!

जीत कर हारता मैं...

हारकर जीतता चिराग!

जल-जल कर बुझता मैं...

बुझ-बुझ कर जलता चिराग!

दूसरों पर निर्भर मैं...

वहीं, खुद ही बलता चिराग!

आँधियों में बिखरता मैं...

थपेड़ों से लड़ता चिराग!

पल-पल मुरझाता मैं...

हर पल खिलता चिराग!

डरा-सहमा सा मैं...

बेख़ौफ़ जलता चिराग!

खुद के लिए जीता मैं...

ग़ैरों के लिए जलता चिराग!!! 

THE SYNDIAN FOOTNOTE

Once upon a time, I was going through proverbial 'low' in life. One stormy evening, when power was not there and back-up had already backed out, we were left with no option but to light a candle to ward off darkness. It was when I mentally wrote this. I kept comparing myself and my situations with the one in which candle was placed. Then as I witnessed the resolute effort on the part of the candle to keep ignited in strong winds, I realized that the situations had got better off me!!!

It turned out to be a life-defining moment for me. From "Oh God! No more!!!" to "Bring it on!!!" is just a change in Attitude!

God Bless you!
