लाशें

सब लाशें हैं
सब लाशें हैं
जिंदा कोई नही
सब लाशें हैं

चलती हैं
बोलती हैं
हस्ती कभी
कभी फूंट फूंट के रोती हैं
लाशें
सब लाशें हैं

गिरता है तोह कोई उठता नही
मरने पर मातम में भी कोई आता नही
जीते साथ हैं
मगर हैं कितने अकेले
लाशें
सब लाशें हैं

धड़कनें मशीन है
जस्बात मशीन है
इनकी सीरत भी इन्ही जैसी
बस शक्लें हसीन है
लाशें
सब लाशें हैं

इक पल का ख्वाब है
जो जाता नही
कितना भी बुलाओ
वोह कल आता नही
जिंदा रहने की होड़ में रोज़ मरते
लाशें
सब लाशें हैं

जिंदा कोई नही
सब लाशें हैं...

Death is beautiful and peaceful.
Okuribito (Departures) explains that wonderfully. It deals with the uneasiness that people have regarding death.
The story is about the change in perception of a young man, who suddenly has to see death everyday. With subtle humour in some places places, it deals with the sensitive topic of death that most of us want to avoid and are very uncomfortable dealing with.
It's worth your time.

-Arundhati

Non-nursery rhyme

Mary had a little lamb
But the lamb was mean to Mary.
Mary tried to get rid of it,
But it refused to leave.
Mary tried a trick or two
yet it did not comply.
Days went by and nights went by
But the lamb stayed on for long.
Mary wished to kill the lamb
But too bad it was already dead.

So Mary, Mary be careful,
Next time you have a lamb.
