जिंदा हैं, तब जीना भूल जाते हैं लोग,
मौत जब सामने खड़ा हो, तब जीना चाहते हैं लोग।
जिंदा हैं, तब हजारों मर्तबा मरना चाहतें ह लोग,
जब मौत गले लगाना चाहता है, तब जीने का एक मौका चाहतें है लोग।
जिंदा हैं तब अपनों को जाने अंजाने चोट पहुंचाते हैं लोग,
मौत जब दस्तक देता है, तब अपनों को प्यार न दे पाने का अफ़सोस करतें हैं लोग।
जिंदा हैं, तब मिलने, हालचाल पूछने आए न आए लोग,
मरने पर श्रद्धांजलि के पुष्प चढ़ाने, आ ही जाते हैं लोग।
जिंदगी और मौत का फासला तय करते-करते,
कुछ खुशी खुशी जी ही लेते हैं जिंदगी,
मौत के अंजाने डर से, कुछ
पल पल मरते रहते हैं, जिंदगी ।।

Bahut sahi kaha Deepika. It’s only when death finally knocks on our door, do we realise all the moments of life we just dwell in resentment and anger, holding on to trivial misunderstandings. Very well penned ♥️

Profound poem on Life, Deepika. When Life is there we forget her in all our so called imagination and illusion and do not accept her with graciousness but keep on fighting her. When death approaches we start to think where we left out. Awesome.

Awareness of death as a reality indeed is a treasure to have in our daily living, so we then would truly celebrate life and people we interact with, with much more compassion and conscious love.

So well penned. So thoughtful. This is true indeed, it is only death which brings us face to face with so many truths and realities, and so many trivial things that don’t matter.
