I Love my Land

I love my land, the Indian land,
Where saints and soldiers were born.
Where the people after hearing the bird's melodious chirping,
Wake up on every morn.

I love my land, the Indian land,
Where people are generous and kind.
Treat everyone with courtesy, they,
Be a person deaf, dumb or blind.

I love my land, the Indian land,
Whose history is very rich.
The ancient texts are world famous,
Conserved are our manuscripts.

I love my land, the Indian land,
Where non-violence is preached.
Other people fight with bare hands,
We Indians fight with wits.

I love my land, the Indian land,
Where the nature is redefined.
The beautiful Shalimar Bagh,
The Himalaya's fascinating heights!

I love my land, the Indian land,
Where the music and art is vast.
The art is so vivid, and,
The music, a rejuvenating effect, it casts.

I love my land, the Indian land,
Where the people, in education are sedulous,
When it comes to maths,
Our country is stupendous!

I love my land, the Indian land,
Where the food is lip-smacking.
And ah! The food is never bland,
The smell of onions along spices, is crackling.

I love my land, the Indian land,
For it is the country I belong to.
I live my land, the Indian land,
For it is the land, I salute to.

Eternal Peace

Sometimes I sit and wonder,
Why is this world so mean?
At the same time I remember the undivided rivers,
Flowing coolly and serene.
Why do shootings take place?
Why isn't there harmony,
Why is everything so very chaotic,
Filled with cacophony.
Eternal peace is what I plead.
Respect for all genders and creeds,
'Cause unless we stop those wars and enmities, primitive,
This world would be the worst place to live!

तुम्हारे चेहरे पर उदासी क्यों छाई है?

देखो मौसम कितना सुहावना है, चिड़ियाँ चहक रही हैं,
देखों यह ज़मीन हरियाली से परिपूर्ण, कितनी सुन्दर लग रही है।
जब ईश्वर ने इतनी सुन्दर यह दुनिया बनाई है,
तुम्हारे चेहरे पर उदासी क्यों छाई है?

धरती की माटी से एक अजब खुशबू आई है, बारिश का संदेसा लाई है,
धरती इतनी खूबसूरत लग रही है, चाँद में भी कमी दिखला रही है,
जब ईश्वर ने इतनी सुन्दर यह दुनिया बनाई है,
तुम्हारे चेहरे पर उदासी क्यों छाई है?

तुम देखो इस जग में, लोग मस्त-मालंग है,
तुम आखिर खामोश क्यों हो?
छोड़ दो इस चुप्पी का दामन, इसमें क्या रखा है?
ज़िन्दगी के मज़े जी भर के लो!

Childhood Days

Friends today, I traveled, down the memory lane,
Filled with nostalgia, my heart, seared with sorrowful pain.
Those crayons, those pencils, those messy plays of fun,
Surely, no one can forget those days in life's long run.
Those Sundays with parents, those Mondays with school.
Life in those days, was simply cool,
Those meetings with cousins, that carefree play,
I wish those days, that time, could forever stay.
But as we know the coin has two sides,
One gives the responsibilities of adulthood, the other shows the playful sight!
Sometimes I wish to travel, back to those days, when life was cool and stress-free,
Mornings with Oswald, afternoons with Pooh and evenings with Mr. Bean!
We cried, we got things in a jiffy,
A toy of cars, a cricket bat, a ball or a soft toy of Miffy!
Now those days are lost in the sands of time,
That time is but ended, ah! The Golden Time!

A Visit to the Diwali Fair

Yesterday I went to the Diwali Fair,
I had so much fun.
Lights oh so colorful, they were there,
Upon the trees, they were hung...

There was lots of food, a vast variety,
So yummy and tempting to the folks who were dieting,
The curries scrumptious, the breads were hearty,
Oh how wonderful was that party!

There were musicians here and dancers there, creating a delightful fusion,
There were Sufi singers, the voice of them,
Created a heavenly illusion!

Overall the show was a Diwali treat,
With food so spicy and desserts sweet,
It was full of enjoyment and pleasure,
Filled with the Indian culture's treasure.

A Lonely walk Through the Streets

It's boiling hot and it is two,
Time to return to home from school.
But after the swift bus ride,
A lonely road is my fright!
I'm tired and dressed up in heavy clothes,
Burning hot are my tiny toes.
My sister's too accompanying me,
Even then, I feel lonely...alone in my soul.
Walking on asphalt-filled, blackish roads,
Some paths are up, some down they go.
But finally I celebrate and rejoice,
When I have reached my home!
But who can forget, the heavy load,
Which I tolerate till my abode.
I hope now you fathom the feeling,
Of walking alone on those - dusty roads!

Mother's Day

I know that Mother's Day has gone way far, but I wrote this on that day only...

My mother, to you, I pray,
In your love-filled cradle, I played.
Till now and forever, you're so supportive, Guiding me through sorrow and dismay!
It all started when I was born,
You nurtured me in your friendly heart, And now, in my heart, yours is that place. My mother to you, I pray,
In your love-filled cradle, I played.
When I failed, you motivated me,
When I achieved goals, you appreciated me, You're so hard working, mother.
Like a role model to me!
Mother, stay like this forever,
Because, in my adulthood (as you say)!
I'll cherish your memories and forget them not ever! My mother, to you, I pray,
In your love-filled cradle, I played.
Till now and forever, you're so supportive,
Guiding me through sorrow and dismay! 

Holi

आँखें खोल कर देखो,
रंगों का मौसम है आया।
सजी हुई हैं थालियाँ देखो ,
गुजिया, पापड़ और गुलाल !

सफ़ेद कमीज़ भी हो गयी है गुलाबी,
ताज़े फौवारों-सी यह पिचकारी।
चढ़ा हुआ है होली का रंग,
रंगों कि दीवाली।

भूल जाओ भेदभाव,
भूल जाओ लड़ाई।
रहो सभी प्यार से,
देखो होली आयी।

Forest

Forests, so dynamic,
Heal our soul.
They quench our thirst with rivers, so picturesque,
Or provide us with a medicinal bowl!

The trees, the giants,
Sooth are body,
Their air breeze and fragments.
Sometimes calm, at times, rowdy!

At times, I wonder,
Why plunder?
The natural habitat,
The animals surrender,
But are we, people ready for tit for tat?
——
People, save forests! Please

The Story of My Fracture!

Recently, I fell off my bike and fractured my hand!
The story's in a poem, so that I can share this with you people...

11th was the day, all happy and gay!
Until it came that moment,
Of tragedy and dismay...

Oh, why I saw stunts on TV,
Why did I emulate the Magic School Bus.
I used to cycle in the evening, freely,
This plaster now, has created a fuss!

Friends, I got over-excited,
My cycle was repaired that day, fresh as new.
On that day, I somewhat became a psychic,
And fell off, breaking the screw!

Lehra (Teen Taal)

You all know me as a poet but I also play music.

Do have a look, please.

O'Man Addicted to Facebook and G+

We humans are a social creature,

We are of Almighty God.

But once we get addicted to social website's features,

And sit on the PC watching posts

Our head's aching very hard!

Don't get addicted to Facebook man,
Its just for recreation.
Only when its necessary,
See your notifications

Happy New Year 2014!

Sleep at the midnight,
People make resolutions.
Of what to do on New Year,
What activities can we pursue!

Happy new year, folks!
May Almighty fulfill all your wishes.
I wish you all a prosperous year.
A year without crisis..

Forget all that happened,
In the previous year,
A new year is there, a new sun is set.
Precious yet grand, this environment is this,
Of the New Year cheer!
