Ladoo aur Heera

Uss bheed mein kho kar dekha,

Saikdon mein ek ho kar dekha.

Laddoo sabki thaal mein dekha,

Bhookhe mukh, behal sa dekha.

Laddoo ne pehle laalach laaya -

Zyada meetha kha, swaad gawaya.

Sabki thali ka laddoo khatam na paaya,

Khud ko haara… kehta, "rok na paaya.”

Laga mujhko — main hoon fail,

Main peeche, sab aage is rail.

Khud ko maine itna sunaya,

Jo aaj tak paaya, sab mann mein gawaya.

Bharosa door, ab swaad kaise sudhaaru?

Sawaal poochta… main dhoondhta guru

Phir neev mein jab laut kar aaya,

Apna laddoo jeb mein bikhra paaya.

Jab kann bator kar dhyaan lagaya,

Ek chauk mein heera chamakta paaya.

Tab samajh aayi saari kahaani,

Yeh kya gyat bhool kar gaye jaani.

Swayam ka laddoo agar sambhaala hota,

Swaad na khota, heera na khota.

Heere se duniya chamkata,

Swaad se santusht ho jaata.

Na kosta, khud ko paata,

Kathinaiyon mein bhi jeet jaata.

Ab jaana, laddoo ka hai yeh khel —

Na saikdon, na lakho — sirf ek ka khel.

Apni thali mein hai jeevan ka ras,

Phir na jaanaa is raste mein phans.

Apni thali se jo kare shuru -

Na laalach, na darr — bas apna guru.

Saikdon log takraayenge pyaare,

Jo samjhe, woh kabhi na ho nyare.
