Caught between mixed emotions of return of Diwali festivities after a gap of two years, and the news of tragic chopper crash in Arunachal, where five Army personnel were martyred, I composed the following:
Sama ab phir bann gaya jashn-e-Diwali ka,
Jagah jagah par raunaq hi raunaq hai.
Dil o dimag par jaise' koi joshila mahaul aa gaya hai,
Do saal baad jaise' phir woh bemisaal daur laut aaya hai.
Magar kahin se' koi khaufnaq khabar aayi hai,
Paanch faujion ko ek haadse' mein jaanon ki qurbani deni padi hai.
Woh bhi toh kisi ke' aziz the',
Unke' bhi toh dilon mein kuch armaan the',
Magar kuch hi palon mein woh sab khatam ho gaya hai.
Iss jashn ke' diye' toh hum zaroor jalayeinge',
Magar ek diya toh unn marahoom faujion ke' naam zaroor banta hai.
Unke' azizon se' hum anjaan zaroor hain,
Magar kuch khayal unn anjannon ke' naam bhi toh zaroor banta hai.
