जीवन "गणित" है
साँसे "घटती" है, अनुभव "जुड़ते" है
अलग अलग "कोष्ठकों" में बंद
हम बुनते रहते है "समीकरण"
लगाते रहते हैं, "गुणा-भाग"
जबकि जीवन का अंतिम सत्य "शून्य" है

 

 


 

 

 

 

सुबह का नमस्कार सिर्फ रिवाज़ ही नहीं

बल्कि आपकी फिक्र का एहसास भी है..

रिश्ते जिन्दा रहे और यादें भी बानी रहे...
