Irony of Life

Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

Is this not an irony of life
That the sweetest songs are those
Which we sing in a voice of pain
Reflecting our saddest thoughts?

Is this not an irony of life
That you often achieve success in life
When main reason why you sought it
Is no more around to rejoice with?

Is this not an irony of life
You have to live to love someone
Who you know still longs for you
But there is no way to reach one
Because circumstances don’t let you?

Is this not an irony of life
You have all worldly achievements
Yet you are so detached and lonely
With nobody around to understand it?

A wise man told me this once,
In humans, it happens once in life
With a loss of a person or thing,
We love more than our own life.

आत्मबोध

हाँ, अब सचमुच ही इच्छा रहितमायावी लालसाओं और तृष्णा शून्यभौतिक जीवन के बच रहे शेष दिनमैं न तो कभी गिनता हूँ न ही सोचता हूँ। इस लम्बी, जटिल जीवन यात्रा में बहुत जल्दी हुआ था यह अहसास कितनी भी चतुराई और सावधानी बरतूंकितना भी यथार्थवादी और परिशुद्घ हो लूंप्रारब्ध या नियति की खुद की अपनी रचनाहमसे रही […]
