मैंने तुझे माँगा तुझे पाया है तूने मुझे माँगा मुझे पाया है आगे हमें जो भी मिले या ना मिले गिला नहीं

छाँव घनी ही नहीं धूप कड़ी भी होती है राहों में ग़म हो कि ख़ुशियाँ हों हमको सभी लेना है बाँहों में यों दुखी हो के जीने वाले क्या ये तुझे पता नहीं मैने तुझे माँगा ...

ज़िद है तुम्हें तो लो लब पे न शिकवा कभी भी लाएँगे हँस के सहेंगे जो दर्द या ग़म ये जहाँ से पाएँगे तुझको जो बुरा लगे ऐसा भी किया नहीं मैने तुझे माँगा ...

Their serene expressions reflect the spiritual stoicism demanded by the Ramayana, reminding us that even in the deepest wilderness, dharma remains their guiding light. This depiction has graced countless homes, serving as a timeless anchor for faith and the ideals of duty, sacrifice, and pure love.
