कभी सोचा न था इक दिन ऐसा भी आएगा,
माँ के बगैर जग में रहना पढ़ जाएगा I
अभी तो माहौल – ए – मातम राज की माँ जी का था,
क्या खबर नया दिन नया ग़म लेकर आएगा I
क्यों नहीं हम होते इसके लिए कभी तैयार,
के इक दिन माँ का साया सर से उठ जाएगा?
और भगवान, इतनी भी क्या जल्दी थी तुम्हें,
हम उदास ओ मजबूर हुए, ये तुम्हे कौन समझायेगा?
हमारे भाई विश्वास को कुछ मुहतात तो कर देते,
माँ का आखरी वक़्त नज़दीक आ जाएगा I
अब आंसू हैं के रुकने का नाम ही नहीं लेते,
कौन अब इन्हें खुशियों में बदल पायेगा?
हे प्रभु, विश्वास को जल्द ही एहसास दिलाना,
माँ के जाने के बाद भी उनका संग रह जाएगा I
माँ वह फूल है जो कभी मुरझाता नहीं,
हर नया लम्हा नयी खुशबू चमन में लाएगा I
Kabhi socha na tha ik din aisa bhi aayega,
Maa ke bagair jag mein rehna padh jaayega.
Abhi to mahaul-e-matam raaj ki maa ji ka tha,
Kyaa khabar naya din naya gham lekar aayega.
Kyun nahin ham hote iske liye kabhi taiyyar,
Ke ik din maa ka saaya sar se uthh jaayega?
Aur Bhagwan, itani bhi kyaa jaldi thi tumhen,
Hum udaas o majbuur hue, ye tumhe kaun samjhaayega?
Hmaare bhai Vishwas ko kuchh muhtaat to kar dete,
Maa ka aakhri waqt nazdeek aa jaayega.
Ab aansu hain ke rukne ka naam hi nahin lete,
Kaun ab inhen khushiyon mein badal paayega?
He Prabhu, Vishwas ko jaldi hi ehsaas dilaana,
Maa ke jaane ke baad bhi unka sang reh jaayega.
Maa woh phool hai jo kabhi nahin murjhata,
Har naya lamha nayi khushbu chaman mein laayega.
Very well expressed. Only thing which may help is Time and prayers. We do. Amen.

Oh Ravi bhai I am speechless and overwhelmed at your thoughts but you sure have lessened my burden of sorrow in this time of friend.!! Need I thank you or just take it as your benevolence for a friend in time of dispair.!!
I remember her trying to mould me to join the Armed Forces right from 1962-63 when I was just 3 years old when she bought me an OG uniform which I remember had a whistle to warn people of any danger secured at the end of the leinyard. I remember having marched in pride for the motherland alongside her wearing that uniform as a kid.
I remember her performing her duties at the office and that at home apart from training me for the competitive exam to join a military boarding school at the age of 10. I remember her going to places to secure an admission in some good engineering college after my school. Finally that great day arrived when she pipped me with two stars on my shoulders alongwith an aunt of mine. She never expected anything ever from me except that I must have a family.!!
So much so that she was present there to my rescue on the day of my premature retirement and consoled the CO not to worry.!!
She gave me life, she gave me education, she got me the best job, taught me uprightness, perseverance, honesty, boldness, the winner’s attitude and the smile even in desperation.!!
Today when I look back I feel I haven’t lost her because she will always remain within me in my heart, body, mind and spirit. I smile as I cry and I am so blessed to be her son.!!
May God grant her eternity.!!
Amen.!!
Thank you Sir. Regards
