Koyi Apnaa Bichhad Jaaye to ....

Yesterday again, I got a sad message that another young Sevadaar saint from Mumbai departed from the world - due to COVID.
When parents and elderly people leave the world in front of their children - in their hands'- even then there is sorrow - but it is usually accepted a little easier considering it as the law of nature.
But when the children leave in front of the parents, it is extremely hard to accept. 
It's not easy to describe their pain - what they go through during such a time. 
No one can express their sorrow in words. 
Though people of saintly nature can accept it as the will of God, but still, such incidents leave a void in their life. 
It is natural that at this time, even the great Saints, Mahatmas, and great Gurus have been seen becoming emotional in grief.
Spontaneously, this prayer arises in the mind that may no one ever go through such a difficult time in their life. 
But yet, thinking about the parents with whom this happened - while trying to understand their pain and mental state, a few lines came to my mind - in the form of a ghazal:


Chalaa jaaye jigar ka laal ye sadmaa kam nahin hota
Koyi apnaa bichhad jaaye to kis ko gam nahin hota

Bahut hain chaaraagar duniya mein har ik marz kay lekin
Jigar kay zakhm ka yaaro koyi maraham nahin hota

Badaltay rehtay hain mausam bahaaron kay, khizaon kay
Par aankhon kay barasnay ka koyi mausam nahin hota

Sabhee rishtay, sabhee naatay hain jab tak saans chalti hai
Phir us kay baad to 'Rajan' - koyi hamdam nahin hota 

Dabay lafzon mein Such kee haamee to bhartay hain sub dekho
Magar mehafil mein kehnay ka kisee mein dam nahin hota
