Original Submission by Vedika Waingankar

बाप्पा

एकटी असले तरी माझ्यासोबत असतं कुणी;

पाठीशी माझ्या बाप्पा मी त्याची खूप ऋणी!

असतो कायम संगे संकट आले किती;

बाप्पा असताना मला नाहीच कसली भीती!

असतात लाखो इच्छा माझ्या पूर्ण करतो तरी;

अखंड त्याची कृपा कायमच माझ्यावरी!

विसरले जरी त्याला तरी आठवण करून देतो;

कधीच रागवत नाही आणि मदतीला धावून येतो!

ऐकून घेतो जेव्हा बोलत असते फार;

कुणीच माझं नसलं, तरी तोच माझं सारं!

सगळं माहित त्याला काय असतं माझ्या मनी;

सगळ्यात जवळ तोच आहे मला जीवनी!

तोच आहे बरोबर आणि तोच अचूक;

जाणीव करून देतो जेव्हा होते माझी चूक!

तोच माझं सर्वस्व आणि तोच माझा जग;

पालनहार असता तो, भीती कसली मग!

धर्माचा तो पालक, अधर्माचा सहारक;

विश्वाचा चालक आणि जगाचा मालक!
