बस आप का एक सहारा - The Helping Moon

I humbly request Grammy Winner Ricky Kej to compose music for:

शायर: बी डी नारायंकर

अगर मैं पैदा न  होता
आप का यूँ चर्चा न होता

मर-मिट जाते कब के हम
गर आप का सहारा न होता

मुझे देख आँखे न झुकती
तो राज़ ए उल्फत ज़ाहिर न होता

आपको मुझ से प्यार न होता
तो मुझे करार न होता

A Piece To Share ... I Thought Fit

Sorry .... otherwise I would have come up with yet another ghazal ... couldn't for last four days ... bit too much late ... for I have one plucked from the verdant thoughts ... not less than two days ... sometimes I would have one in my kitty but would not have posted

I assumed the charge as Mahatma (Gandhi) did the best ... tending ... yes tending for three days ... my son had been admitted for Dengue ... nothing to worry though ... first two days were crucial though ... but I had strong belief ... a aa  ... I had vishwas on my family tree - The Narayankars ... for last four generations ... not a single person succumbed to any disease

My child is fine ... kicking alive ... by tomorrow evening he should be discharged

All these days, sitting in one corner of the hospital room ... looking at my son moaning out of pain, I only prayed no mother should undergo the pain which I bore

Amidst all this, one face always came before me ... gave me hope ... gave me life ... strengthened my vishwas ... she is as wonderful ... as resplendent ... as faithful as the MOON is to the sun

She inspires, will inspire till last drop of my blood does not smoulder to its end in the pyre ....

My pen stroked these verses thus in her memory ....

अगर मैं पैदा न  होता
आप का यूँ चर्चा  न होता

मर-मिट जाते कब के हम
गर आप का सहारा न होता
