This poignant poem uses the metaphor of kaanch (glass) to depict the fragility of relationships. It reflects on a childhood bond that the poet cherished deeply but ultimately broke when trust was misplaced. The poem captures the pain of seeing something so precious shatter unexpectedly, emphasizing the delicate nature of emotional connections and the heartbreak that follows betrayal.
कांच
वो रिश्ता कांच का था शायद
छन्न से जो टूट गया।
जब पीछे मुड़कर देखती हूं,
तो लगता है जैसे मैंने ही उसे संभाला था।
और जैसे ही डोर उसके हाथ में आई,
उसने झट से तोड़ दिया।
