Original Submission by Ishita Somani

“पुड़की”

बंद पुड़की में इलाज रखा हो… और वह पुड़की लग जाए किसी बच्चे के हाथ!

वह उसे लिए कहीं दूर भागता चला जाए,

फिर कहीं रुककर

पुड़की में लिखा सारा कुछ पी जाए!

बाप से छुपाए, न माँ को बताए…

मैं जवाब ढूँढूँ, सवाल छुपाए,

वह सवाल ढूँढे, जवाब छुपाए!!!

यही रहा दृष्टिकोण, जो उसे भी बचाए

और मुझे भी बचाए!!
