Let hope guide all of us through life.........

Hope rules the world. One would die without hope. One strives today to hope for the best tomorrow. The  lines below explain a state of mind; wherein an individual undergoes an emotional turmoil and comes out squeaky clean; in HOPE that the next day would be his/hers. In the mean time, he/she also prays for everyone's hopes to come true. Here they go:
******************************************************************************
उम्मीदें
******************************************************************************


ज़िन्दगी नाम है संघर्ष का,
ज़िन्दगी नाम है उल्लास का,
फंसती है दुनिया इस चक्रव्यूह में,
जो दिलाये छुटकारा अंतिम यात्रा में |

इस संघर्ष के अन्धकार में,
दिखाई पड़ती है उम्मीद की एक किरण-
जो लगे जैसे स्वर्ण,
जो करे मनुष्य का दुःख: हरण |

जीता है मनुष्य उम्मीद पर,
त्यागता है जीवन उम्मीद पर,
रूठता है तो सुख की उम्मीद पर,
मान भी जाता है तो सुख की उम्मीद पर !

उम्मीदों का पूरा होना- बनाए ज़िन्दगी को चमकीला,
उम्मीदों पर पानी फिरना- कर दे मनुष्य को अकेला,
उम्मीदें खिलाये जीवनरूपी फूल,
उम्मीदें ही चटाए मनुष्य को धूल !

मेरे प्रभु ! रहेगी हरदम मेरी यही कामना-
"हर सुखद उम्मीद को सवारना सदा,
ताकि महक जाए हर किसी की अदा,
और-
उदय हो रोशन भविष्य का |"

  1. "Hope is a good thing, probably one of the best things in life" - I remembered this dialogue from movie Shashank Redemption. Hope makes living meaningful. Without hope, there is no will to work, to improve oneself.

    I didn't understand this stanza. Can you elaborate more on it...
    त्यागता है जीवन उम्मीद पर

    Good work...

  2. Uday,

    The stanza can be elaborated as follows:

    An unhappy person passes each moment of his life in anticipation of peace; i.e. he hopes for something good; and this hope motivates him to live. Similarly, when a person is on the death bed, that too, after having fulfilled each and every duty of his 'Grihasthashram', hopes for his descendants to hold the family name high.

    This was the explanation for the first two lines of that stanza. The next 2 lines speak of the psychology of kids...in the sense, a kid frowns upon with the hope of his need getting addressed by parents or any other elders. Along the similar lines, a kid smiles upon with the hope that his/her parents or friends or siblings would not disappoint him in any way..... :-)

    Kehte hai.. Ummeed par Duniya Kaayam Hai... Me kehta hoo.. Ummeed par har ek zindgi kaayam hai... Agar Ummeed na hoti... to jeene ka bahana hi nahi hota...

    Dubte Hue jahaaz me beitha hua aadmi bhi umeed ke sahare zinda rehta hai... agar ummeed na hoti.. to jahaaz dubne se pehle hi us ki maut aa jaati...

    Kabhi kabhi bhagvaan bhi insaan ko ku6 cheeze zindgi bhar nahi deta... kyo? ta.. ki.. us ki ummeed me hi wo insaan puri zindgi nikaal de...

    So Ummeed is LIFE... Ummeed hi zindgi ka wo tel hai.. jis ke bina zindgi ka diya ek pal bhi na jale...

    Well Said Minal.... Keep it up my dear sis... Yaar autograph de de.. kal shayad bheed me na mile...

    He he he...

    Keep it up good work
