It’s hard to walk the road less traveled, and harder to find accounts of it, not complaining, not telling how difficult it was, what struggle it was, but just, what a beautiful ride it was - and will be.

Ek kacchi sadak par yahi safar karke dekhna

aisa rasta jaise hare ghane balon ke beech kisi ne maang nikal kar baal do taraf kar diye hon

Aaram se ek ek kadam apne padne ka maza lega

Dheere dheere chal rahe hoge aur age chalti bailgaadi tab bhi tez chalne ka ehsaas dilayegi

raste mein ek keechad ka padav ayega

aur ek bacche ki tarah ek paanv par sigdi khelte hue

vahan jame pattharon ke upar se nikal jaoge

jahan dil chahega vahan baith jaoge

jis ped ki chaanv ko chaho bistar bana loge

shor sirf hava ki sarsaraahat ka hoga

aur usme jhilmilaati bail ke gale mein bandhi ghanti ki avaaz
