We live in a materialistic world. And, sadly, the festive spirit of Diwali has been transformed into an extravagant & splurging shopping spree.
For some, it has been turned into the most stressful time of the year because of the hype and the expectations.
But like us, if you also miss the older, simpler and giving the spirit of Diwali, then this beautiful poem by Gulzar is for you.
Zindagi Roshni, Zindagi Noor Bhi Hai – the beautiful poem from Gulzar is a fresh reminder of the true spirit of Diwali that many of us may have forgotten in the midst of shopping sales and glittering events.
Zindagi Roshni, Zindagi Noor Bhi Hai
Jab roshni kam ho jaaye toh
Ummeed jagaa dete hain
Jab suraj doobne lagta hai
Hum dil jalaa lete hain
Zindagi roshni, zindagi noor bhi hai
Magar dil jalaane ka dastoor bhi hai
Bahot raat tak roshni karti hai
Agar dil mein choti si ummeed rakh do
Ujaalon se ghar bhar mehekne lagega
Hatheli pe roshan koi cheez rakh do
Galey lagne waalon ka dastoor bhi hai
Zindagi roshni, zindagi noor bhi hai
Hope this beautiful poem brought a smile on your face.
