Machines have to be regularly used, so also our bodies.

Some time or the other, a machine wears out, so does our body

A machine needs regular maintainance, so also does our body.

Remember this is a must; be it a Maruti, an Audi or our body.

THIS CHRISTMAS

Santa, we all request things aplenty from you; but like others, from you I don't want a toy

Santa, this Christmas can you please bring into this battered world, plenty of peace n lots of joy.

If I were a girl young, to carry my love letter, I would perhaps request you to be my special envoy;

But this Xmas, I request you no toys, nor any special messages for a boy.

At a juncture this, request you I cannot, to errands extra run; you already have chores aplenty;

Santa, neither you nor me are young now, nor can we, like teenyboppers , like teenagers be senti;

So I request you no toys, nor any messages to a boy, but pleeeease do bring in, plenty of peace n joy.

આં દીવા સાથે, મારા દિલનો દીવો બિ ઝલહલાઓ, મારા નાથ;

ભલે જગત પરાયું રહે, પણ રહે સદૈવ મને, તમારો સંગાથ

કરી મેહરબાની મુજપર, ઝાલી રાખજો આં નાતવાન હાથ

છે મને પણ ખબર ઓ મારા નાથ, કે હું નથી તમારો ઉત્તમ શિષ્ય પાર્થ;

તો પણ કરું છું અંતર મનથી વિનંતિ, ઝાલી રાખજો આં મારા હાથ.

O SEEKER

"Anar", very often, ignorant we are, but zest if we have to seek;

With all our heart, try we must; it shouldn't be an attempt weak;

Endeavour to achieve this, we got to; constantly, bit by bit, week after week.

O seeker, go ahead full fledgedly, dive deep, only then find you will that pearl, you seek.

MY SALUTES
(For our Brave Armed Forces)

Salutes aplenty from me, to these souls, brave, daring and bold.

Know I, have these Fauji- families, minds of steel but hearts of pure gold;

But in steel, in iron, these, hearts they somehow, painstakingly mould.

Sadly, very shamefully, some politicians have, to an extent, this Nation sold.

God, please help our  Armed Forces, these brave men and their families. With respect great, I them hold.

SAVE GREENERY

Man o man, when will you realise that you are not just destroying our Mother Earth;

But, with your selfish motives, are destroying your children's future and their mirth.

Would you, so cruel be, to your very own Mother? That Mother who gave you birth !

If for power and riches, you crave wouldn't; sufficient food, cook would, in every hearth.

AWAKEN YOURSELF, FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR VERY OWN CHILDREN.

तन की तंदुरस्ती,

ह्रदय में प्रेम का स्रोत बसे,

देश में धन, धान्य समृद्धि रहे, हमारे फौजी वीर सलामत रहे।

दुनियां में कोई नंगा,भूखा न हो, प्यासा न हो; सब को एक घर का आश्रय देना प्रभु।

बच्चे बेसहारा और अनाथ न हो, बूढ़े मात पिता को, बच्चों का साथ हो।

सारी दुनियां में हो अमन, प्रेम और शांति हो; सब को सनमति, सद्बुद्धि देना दाता।

हे ईश्वर, यही है आपसे मेरी याचना, मेरी बिनती , मेरी प्रार्थना।

There is enthusiasm all around us; busy is everyone, cleaning their home;

"मय हो या मैं"

अरे ओ "मैं", तू कितना प्यारा है मुझे, तुझे मैं क्या कहूं, मैं तेरे बिना रह न सकूं, क्या  करूं!

मुझे दिखता है मैं ही मैं ; जहा तू वहा मैं, मैं तेरे बिना कहीं जा n सकूं और तुझ बिन रह न सकूं।

शराब हो, या हो धूम्रपान, या चरस गांजा, सबसे नशीला पदार्थ है "मैं ";  और वो है बड़ा कातिल भी ।

सदा याद रहे, इन पदार्थों के सेवन से, कभी भी नहीं भरेगा तेरा प्यासा जी;

"मैं" हो, या मय, दोनो है कातिल और खतरनाक, इनके पयाले "अनार" तू कभी न पीना;

ऐ इंसान, अगर कम्बक्त, तूं करते रहा यह मय के पयाले का सेवन, मुश्किल हो जाएगा तेरा जीना ।

As celebrate we, the victory of good over evil, humility over ego n pride;

Let's vow, to goodness practise n by the laws of goodness n Nature abide

ઢળતો સુરજ, સાંજ

સૌ કોઇ, ઊગતા સૂર્યના દર્શન કરી, સુર્ય નમસ્કાર કરી, એણે  લાગે છે પગે;

જોયા છે કદી તમે લોકો ને બિચારા ઢળતા સૂરજ ને, લાગતાં પગે?

માનવ જીવન માં,  પણ આં જ પરંપરા, આં જ રીત ચાલતી આવી છે

સફળતા જ માનવી ને વાહલી છે; ઘણો ભાગ, સમય જ સફળતા ની ચાવી છે

ઢળતાં સુરજ ની જેમ, ઢળતી ઉંમરે કોઇ કરતું નથી તમારી ભાવનાઓ નો આદર

માટે તમે પગ પણ એટલાજ પસારજો, જેટલી લાંબી હોય તમારી ચાદર.

પાછલા જીવન માં, સગાં સંબંધી ઓછાં હશે, આં જ છે જીવન સંધ્યા, આં જ છે, હકીકત સાચી

તૈયારી કરવી જોઈએ, પણ આસાન નથી આં કામ; સામનો કરવા જોઈએ હિંમત સાચી

જીવન ચક્ર

આવીયા બોખા, અને જવાના પણ બોખા, કદાચ બત્રીસી તુટીભાંગી સાથે હશે, આં છે જીવન ચક્ર;

માઁ-બાપ ઉપાડી ફરતાં, હાથ ઝાલી ચલાવતાં, હવે દીકરો-વહુ , દીકરી- જમાઈ પકડી ચલાવશે, આં છે જીવન ચક્ર

મળ-મૂત્ર પર એક જન્મજાત શિશુ ને અને બુઝરોગ ને ક્યાં કંટ્રોલ હોય છે, આખરે તો, આં જ છે જીવન ચક્ર

જેમ પેદા થઈએ છીએ, તેમ જવા પહેલા, બુઢાપામાં ફરી એક વાર, બધું પરિવર્તન થવાનું છે, આં જ છે જીવન ચક્ર.

AGE IS....

"Age is what you think you are", they say; and to an extent, with them I even agree;

But in reality, age spares hardly anyone; falls off one day every leaf, from the tree.

Mother Nature, on birth gives us things aplenty n valuable, and that too, almost free

Then it's responsibility ours, to them maintain;   guess I, moderation n balance is the key.

Acceptance comes alongside; in spite of the wrinkles many, try I, to keep alive, that little child, in me.

SOLD TO SATAN

(After seeing malpractices in medicine, sitting at a multi clinic, I am writing this, with a plea to all the medical practitioners, to please introspect)

Sold my soul I have to the Satan, once I had, a huge entrance amount given, to a doctor become

Now, for treatment, all the rich, the gullible, those frightened hypochondriacs, I warmly welcome.

For rich I have to become, after recovering my expenses huge, to cover up what I spent; that enormous sum !

With wrong, fancy or even frightful diagnosis, I frighten patients; and unnecessarily even operate upon some.

With my malpractices,  Satan very helpful n cooperative is, n encourages me, to richer by the day become.

Alas, a dedicated professional, one who should be respected next to God, how very commercial has now become !

By misleading the ill n those in dire need of a cure; from a God loving n serving the ill n poor people, I have today, a devil become.

Dear God, will You please forgive me, if I change to a good, kind doctor n a human being become?

HAPPY GANDHI JAYANTI.

An attorney at law, honest, with plenty of self- respect, today was born.

Tried he to assure all his countrymen would get cothes, water n corn.

But his main aim was to drive away the Brits n to Mother India, a free status adorn

Picked he, "Satya-Ahimsa" to achieve it; but she was often ripped off n torn;

In spite of the many difficulties, Gandhiji got her Independence; that he had, for Her sworn

His three piece suit he gave up; thereafter only a dhoti he had worn.

Thanks to the sacrifices of many many "senanis", on  15th Aug we saw, an independent morn.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Very selfish is man, loves he to pamper his own ego & it inflate;

Cares he doesn't about the poor, about animals; isn't this a sad state???

Request him to educate at least 1 poor child; or in his own kids, values inculcate;

But to this do, bother he will not; why change someone else's fate; why not, my own!!!

When this reality we see,  remember, good, healthy seeds, we haven't sown !

Instead our ego we have pampered, satiated & it, out of proportion streched; & overblown.

उसे दोज़क की आग में झोंक दिया, इस नासमझ कमीने इन्सान ने ।

एहसान फरामोश है मानव, कुछ थोड़ा सा कम पड़ने से, बन जाता है दानव

रोता होगा अब, खुद खुदा भी, बना के ऐसे एहसान फरामोश इंसान को;

जो इंसानियत भूला कर, अपने रचैता और उसकी रचना को भुला कर याद करता है शैतान को।

ऐ खुदा, जन्नत तेरी, हम भी तेरे, यह धरती भी तेरी, फिर हमें यह गुमान क्यों?

कब तक रहेंगे इस तरह, बनके एहसान फरामोश हम युह ?

WE TOO SHALL WITHER

Like all living beings, (just like flowers),we too shall someday wither away

As buds, on our stems we bloom carefreely; happily on the stem, we sway

As youth us envelopes, colourful n perfumed become we, but that too is not, for many a day

When bloom we fully, n are, at our best; worried we are not, about happen what next may !

But remember this we must all, NO ONE LASTS FOR EVER; we all have to turn back to the clay.

In the meantime, a few deeds good, let's try to accomplish; afterall that's what will, us pay

Remember, we too shall wither away someday; we are not here to permanently stay.

By tying it, a sister, shows  her love and care.

It also is a reminder of the lovely times, siblings share;

Beautiful memories,  love, fights,  squabbles, those a bro n sis share

A simple thread of cotton or silk, enough is, to say, "Bro I care for you"

"Bro. Keep that love throbbing,  irrespective of where I go, I will always love you".

"Bro, may God, you and your family alwayyyyysssss healthy  n happy keep "

"May He protect and guide you; and under His wings,  you safely keep "

CLEVER ???REALLY???

Men, oh we men,  think we are clever very;

Hence we directly or indirectly harm creature every

And in doing this, unfortunately pride great we take

Our ego we pamper n boost with these achievements; fake.

Tigers, them we shot; vultures n some more, we indirectly ****

Sea animals, cows, dogs die, eating plastic bags, bottles; their fate too we seal

As if enough this is not, by chopping trees,   our own childrens, of oxygen we deprive

Sadly to destroy, to ****, to harm creatures n human beings, we actually strive.

Use n create relationships for their own advantage; and then discard them off;

और बच्चों को उनकी करामात प्रदशित कर के, उत्पन करते हैं उनमें अनगिनत ख्वाब ।

पर हमारे निजी जीवन में भी, हमारे असली चेहरे पर होते है, दो या तीन नकाब ।

असली चेहरा हमारा, हम छुपा के रखते है, पर दिख जाती है कभी कभार, हमारी असली झलक !

बाहरवाले देखते है हमारा नकाब, जो पहनके, उन्हे हम दिखाना चाहते है, एक जूठी झलक।

इंसान कितने भी चेहरे  मोहरे बदले; सच्चाई देख सकता है हमारा रब, क्योंकि विशाल है फलक।

लाख छुपाएं हम अपनी असलियत, वो तो देख ही लेता है, भांप ही लेता है हमारी असलियत।

पर्दा कितना भी कीमती और हसीन क्यों न हो, पर रबकी आंखे है तीक्ष्ण, देख लेती है हर किसी की असलियत ।

OUR LIFE, A RIVULET

Our life is like a rivulet; going through a constant change; dashing alone, through paths difficult n rough

Picking up many relationships on the way, some good, some bad, some mild, some angry n gruff

Needs a rivulet to turn into a  river; n then to reach her destination final, to the Sea  so mighty, really huge !

Rest she just cannot, it's a winding journey, meandering, but there is no going back, no refuge !

A bumpy jumpy childhood, followed by a carefree or stressful youth; then perhaps it flows smoothly for a while;

She sometimes gets a chance to happy be; to gracefully flow; and at life, satisfactorily smile

Then again as youth recedes,  relatives also part, into many factions at the delta, she is now broken !

These parts big and small, all into the mighty ocean submerge; it is now that a rivulet, that has turned into a river is, finally unified, in Heaven awoken.

પોતાના સ્વાર્થ માટે, લોભ, લાલચ માટે, એને ઉજાડ્યું આ સોહામણું ચમન


મૂર્ખ માનવે જો સાચવી હતે લીલોતરી, તો એને આજે દઝાડતે નહીં, આં અગન

શા કાજ, આટલું સ્વાર્થી અને ચંચળ બનાવ્યું છે ઓ દાતા તેં, આં માનવ મન ?

પોતાનો ફાયદો થાય જ્યાં, ત્યાં માનવ ભૂલી જાય છે, ધરતીને સાચવવાનું, તને દીધેલું વચન

પણ ભગવંત, દાઝે છે ગરીબના પગો, એને તો આપજે થોડી ઠંડક, ભલે હોય એ ક્ષણ બે  ક્ષણ !

લીલી છમ ચુંન્ડી મારી ફાડીને ચિરી નાખી, જેના ઉપર હતા રંગ બે રંગી પુષ્પો અનેક

શણગારો મારા કાઢી નાખી, બોડી બામની જેવી કરી નાખી, કાપી નાખી બાહ મારી એકે એક

વેરણ છેરણ થઈ ગયું બધું, વિરાન કરી નાખ્યું જીવન હર્યું ભર્યું , સાંભળીયા નહીં મારા ચિત્કાર

હવે બચી છે કેવળ છબી પહેલાની, બનાવી હતી એને પ્રેમથી; હતો કોઈ મારો સાચો એ કલાકાર

આજે જ્યાં ઘિંચ વણ હતું, ત્યાં છે રેતીના રણ, ફળ, ફૂલ, પંખેરુંને પણ કરિયા માનવીએ બેઘર
