  • सपने देखना मत छोड़ना – Sapne Dekhna Mat Chhodna

    सपने ऐसे देखो जो अम्बर से करे बात
    लेकिन कभी धरती की पकड़ ना छोड़ना !
    चाहे जितनी बार खानी पड़े मात
    लेकिन सपने देखना नहीं छोड़ना !!

     

    अपनी तरफ आती हर मुसीबत
    को हिम्मत से सीखो लड़ना !
    जब उम्मीदों की हर दीवार दह जाए
    तो भी सपने देखना मत छोड़ना !!

     

    Don't Dream your Lives, Live your Dreams
    Don’t Dream your Lives, Live your Dreams

    शरीर या बदन के थकने पर नहीं
    काम पूरा होने पर ही दोस्तों बैठना !
    अगर रात भी काम करने में गुजर जाए
    तो भी सपने देखना नहीं छोड़ना !!

     

    चाहे दिन, माह और साल निकल जाए
    बेशक निकल जाये खून, या बह जाए पसीना !
    मंजिल की तलाश में अगर कुम्भ भी निकल जाए
    तो भी तुम सपने देखना मत छोड़ना !!

     

    इस रस्ते निकल पड़े तो वापस नहीं मुड़ना है
    क्या कर सकते है हम इस दुनिया को दिखाना है !
    पर्वत चट्टानों से भी आगे हमें जाना है
    हर कदम पे नए सपने देखना नहीं छोड़ना है !!

  • माँ की हस्ती – Maa Ki Hasti (Who is a mother?)

    सागर से भी विशाल हो प्यार जिसका
    जो हर ठोकर के बाद दिखाए सही रास्ता
    जो इन्सान होकर भी हो एक फ़रिश्ता
    उस हस्ती को कहते है माँ !!

    जो तुम्हारी फ़िक्र को तुमसे पहले जाने
    जो तुम्हे तुम्से भी बहतर पहचाने
    तुम्हारी हर इच्छा पे जो कह दे हा
    उस हस्ती को कहते है माँ !!

    A mother is person who can take the place of all others, but whose place no one else can take. - Cardinal Mermillod
    A mother is person who can take the place of all others, but whose place no one else can take. – Cardinal Mermillod

    जिसकी गोद हो तुम्हारा तकिया
    जो तुम्हे सुलाए गाते हुए लोरिया
    हमेशा रहेगी साथ जिसकी दुआ
    उस हस्ती को कहते है माँ !!

    जो ऊँगली पकड़ चलना सिखाए
    हर मुस्किल में होसला बढ़ाये
    अपने खून से जो लिखे हमारा भविश्य
    उस हस्ती को कहते है माँ !!

    जो तुम्हे मारे भी प्यार से
    तुमसे रूठे तो भी प्यार से
    तुम्हारे आँसू देख जो रो पड़े
    उस हस्ती को कहते है माँ !!

    जो आँख खोले तो तुम्हे ही ढूंढे ,
    आँख बंद हो तो तुम्हारे ही सपने देखे
    जो खुदा से भी मांगे तुम्हारी ही खुशिया
    उस हस्ती को कहते है माँ !!

  • Love and Hate – Is it OK?

    How can I hate you?
    When I also know I love you?
    I know you are not bad,
    But then why do you make me mad?

    You once made me wanna fly?
    Now why do you make me cry?
    You once felt like the sweet smell of rain,
    Then why do you now give so much pain?

    I hate myself for hating you,
    The love or hate – which one is true?
    All this sadness, anger and fear,
    Can’t you see, can’t you hear?

    What is right, what is wrong?
    Am I supposed to act strong?
    But here I am – lost again..
    Is it OK? or am I going insane?

    How apt?
    How apt?
  • I thought, But

    	All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.” – Havelock Ellis
    All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.” – Havelock Ellis

    I thought I could forget you,
    How foolish was I?
    I was ready to bid adieu,
    But then you passed by!!

    I thought I would not miss you,
    But from inside I felt empty!
    As I didn’t even knew,
    You were now a part of me!!

    I thought I could move forward,
    Without ever turning to look back!
    It soon became very awkward,
    As you were part of every flashback!!

    I thought it would be alright,
    And I will find a new path to tread!
    But something just didn’t feel right,
    As every time you smiled my heart bled!!

    I thought it was just a crush,
    And it would pass away like a flu!
    But just your thought makes me blush,
    And I know my heart whispers – “I love you!”!!

    I thought I could let you go,
    And that it would be an easy choice!
    But I never stopped hearing the echo,
    And feeling like when I first heard your voice!!

  • Bounce Like A Ball

    What use is a ball which doesn't bounce? The same holds true for man
    What use is a ball which doesn't bounce? The same holds true for man

    Pounce
    On every gasp of wind!
    Bounce
    Like you have never sinned!!

    Trounce
    On all negativity around you!
    Bounce
    To make miracles come true!!

    Renounce
    Any pain and fear in your heart!
    Bounce
    Like every day is a new start!!

    Denounce
    All that is sad and unfair!
    Bounce
    And show the world you care!!

    Announce
    To the world who you are!
    Bounce
    Light all around like a star!!

  • In Love, All Over Again

    (As imagined from a man willing to fall in love again with the girl of his dreams, even after loving her all life long.)

     

    All Over Again
    All Over Again

    Every time I see you,
    I feel I am going insane!
    You make me want to,
    Go and sing in the rain!!

    I love hearing your voice,
    Even if I have nothing to say!
    It gives me a reason to rejoice,
    Even if you are miles away!!

    When your hand touches mine,
    I feel a rush of blood to the head!
    The feeling seems almost divine,
    I can’t wait to see what’s ahead!!

    There is no sight better,
    Than seeing you smile!
    The sound of your laughter,
    Makes it all worthwhile!!

    I know together we belong,
    And a lot is ours to attain!
    After loving you all lifelong,
    I can fall for you all over again!!

  • You Can’t Take Anything, but Can Give a Lot

    What do we want in life,
    A lot of money would be good!
    For that will help us buy,
    Clothes, cars and good food!!

    A big house would also be nice,
    With the best of interior decoration!
    We want a nice green garden outside,
    And a few guards at the gate of our mansion!!

    We spend our whole life,
    Chasing money for all these stuff!
    But when we die we go alone,
    LOL, for life has played its big bluff!!

    It is fact we all go alone,
    There is nothing ours to take away!
    But there is a lot to give,
    If we choose to look at life that way!!

    We all have within us treasures,
    Of love, kindness, joy and hope!
    Our best resource is our smile,
    Give it and nothing is out of scope!!

    Giving love and joy never cost us,
    Yet it enriches those who receive!
    It creates happiness, joy and friends,
    And it can cause miracles you won’t believe!!

  • Seek the Power Within

    What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.  - Ralph Waldo Emerson
    What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Do you think you are weak?
    Then I bet you indeed are!
    Bit if you feel and act strong,
    Then you can win every war!!

    When you look for help,
    You seek answers from outside!
    No such help can satisfy you,
    For real wisdom comes from inside!!

    The whole world is yours,
    Stretch your arms and embrace!
    If you fall along the way,
    Learn from it & get up with grace!!

    Your will is always stronger,
    Than the hold of your senses!
    If you realize your real power,
    No temptation can break your defenses!!

    Get out of the paradox of life,
    And break free from all shackles!
    Recognize the power within you,
    And then you can cause many miracles!!

  • Why?

    It is happening now,
    Don’t know what, don’t know how?
    I feel happy, but sometimes I cry
    I want to know, why??

    Of all pains, the greatest pain,   Is to love, and to love in vain. - George Granville
    Of all pains, the greatest pain, Is to love, and to love in vain. – George Granville

    Even though I met you today,
    It feels you are far far away?
    I am not drunk, yet I am high
    I want to ask, why??

    Your beauty is like a vast ocean,
    Being with you is like dying in slow motion!
    Now these feelings I can’t deny,
    Can somebody please tell me why??

    Am I dead, or am I still alive,
    In this battle, how do I survive?
    I want to jump, I want to fly
    Can anybody tell me, why??

    Eyes open or shut, only you I see,
    Whatever this is, it is new for me!
    To you, I never want to say goodbye
    Just tell me, why??

    You are messing with my head,
    Often it feels like I am already dead?
    I wonder if I am the same old guy,
    What magic are you doing, and why??

    Nothing excites me anymore,
    My mind thinks only of you I swore!
    I want to look straight into your eye,
    And find answers to my every why??

  • Be Brave

    A poem depicting the need to be brave, even in toughest of situations, and how the world salutes them who act bravely. Also read this poem of mine on the similar lines – “Start, even if it’s just YOU”


    Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid.
    Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid.

    We all face tough situations,
    Some are routine, some grave!
    But you always have a choice,
    To do the usual, or to act brave!!

    Doing right requires courage,
    It decides how you act and behave!
    Even when it goes against the norm,
    You can be strong and act brave!!

    Not many will support you,
    For people will hate your guts!
    Don’t let them bother you,
    For they are only frustrated bigots!!

    Cruel words and taunts you might face,
    But always remember you have a bold heart!
    By acting strong you have shown the way,
    Don’t let any doubts and fears tear you apart!!

    By choosing the route less common,
    You have taken a stand like a hero!
    Their arrows can’t pierce your skin,
    Your tough soul can take many a blow!!

    For all those used to exploiting others,
    Your stand have sent a strong shockwave!
    Let them blabber in their false sense of pride,
    For there are others who salute you for being brave!!

  • She is my dearest

    She was like a breeze,
    Put my senses to freeze!
    When her smile was felt,
    My cold heart just melt!!

    She opened her mouth to speak,
    I fell for the dimple in her cheek!
    The words came out as roses,
    I could cherish them for ages!!

    Her hair were as soft as silk,
    Her eyes as white as milk!
    When her sun like face glowed,
    It felt like even time had slowed!!

    She was like a sweet angel,
    Everything about her was noble!
    She came like a sudden downpour,
    What had hit me I wasn’t sure!!

    Her spirit was infectious,
    Her heart the most spacious!
    The soul of hers was the purest,
    In no time she was my dearest!!

  • I sent YOU !!

    I knew a young man,
    Energetic and ambitious!
    He grew up in struggle,
    Like in mud grows a lotus!!

    He had big dreams for himself,
    And ahead he went with full steam!
    But he always used to wonder,
    Why the world is so extreme??

    At times he saw people confused,
    Worrying about what ‘all‘ to eat?
    Yet at other times he saw the poor,
    Wondering about ‘what‘ to eat??

    He could never understand,
    How could this be even possible?
    If all are children of the same God,
    How can one, and other not be special??

    He used to think in disbelief,
    Why doesn’t God do anything?
    If he has all the power,
    For what is he waiting??

    One night in his dream he saw God,
    He asked how can this be true?
    There is so much misery around,
    Why doesn’t He come to the rescue??

    God said He has done his work,
    The man asked, “What did you DO?”
    To this God laughed and said,
    “Can’t you see my child, I sent YOU !!”

  • Being a Woman, A privilege

    A girl
    Being born among us mortals,
    On every step
    You spread joy like angels!

    Facing challenges
    Many which only you can handle,
    In dark times
    You are the one to light a candle!

    Woman
    Amazing are your levels of energy,
    In hard times
    You feed others while staying hungry!

    Cheering others
    Even when you’re having an off day,
    Doing your best
    You make sure everything will be okay!

    Happiness
    You spread in the world around you,
    With time
    You hold people together like a glue!

    Unconditional
    Is your love to friends and family,
    Every storm you
    Take us through calmly & bravely!

    Impossible
    And beyond is where you function,
    Because you
    Have the privilege of being a woman!

  • What can I lose?

    At every step new and unseen,
    I am a little unsure and afraid!
    It’s my choice, to go play outside,
    Or just sit and rest in the shade!!

    Every new idea I think and dream,
    First seems crazy and idiotic!
    But when I move ahead despite fears,
    Results have not been short of magic!!

    Sometimes I think and wonder,
    The only one stopping me is myself!
    Only if I can let go of the fearful me,
    I can discover my true and real self!!

    Thus every now and then,
    I pick up an idea and just start!
    For I have always been happiest,
    When I have gone with my heart!!

    Time will pass by and not wait,
    Every second I have is hence precious!
    Soon I realize what can I lose?
    If I just do it, no point being cautious!!

    You have nothing to lose but your chains - Karl Marx

  • Wah Re India

    We are the largest democracy,
    With proud we proclaim this fact!
    Our economic growth is big news,
    As is the huge investments we attract!!

    I absolutely love my country,
    As it never fails to amaze me!
    At times both tragic and amusing,
    Its stories are nothing less than filmy!!

    We can vote at age eighteen,
    And elect our representative!
    Yet we can’t drink below age 25,
    Who can explain this law’s motive??

    Everyday is an irony in India
    Everyday is an irony in India

    We have the right to free speech,
    But isn’t it a grave misconception!
    As public order, and even morality,
    Can be grounds for police action!!

    Among one of the basic human rights,
    Is the right to peaceful & free assembly!
    But the arbitrary use of Section 144,
    Shows the government wants to be bossy!!

    Millions go without food daily,
    How can anyone miss the contrast?
    When the govt. ignores the hungry,
    And denies Anna the permission to fast !!
