Rista Rista

कहीं से आती है आवाज़ रिस्ता रिस्ता
चलाचल राही, चंद कदम और भले

कहीं तो जा रहा है रास्ता रीस्ता रीस्ता
शायद उस चमन में ही आसरा मिले

आसमां की चादर में जी घुटता है मेरा
ऐ मेरे हमसफ़र चल इसे उतार चलें

rista ka matlab kya hota hai?

khair uske bina bhi bahut achi lagti hai yeh kavita.

i googled to find out the meaning. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BE+%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BE&btnG=Google+Search
Google can search in hindi too!

I really liked the poem very much,
the last stanza .. "aasmaan ki chaadar mein ghuta hai jee mera" ..
hmm sounds a bit mysterious and would appreciate if you can elaborate a more on this :)

@Anshu
with the last stanza, the intent was to express the fact that even the sky which symbolizes openness and vastness and infiniteness also sometimes seems to be a blanket that suffocates us. hence, there is a desire to go somewhere else beyond these skies..
