Who said that
watch the moon
but can't touch?

Truly a full moon picture
broke the mirror.
Stacking all of it
the sky fills the full jar.
Empties it though
sparing a piece
to every shining star.

Yet a full moon Kohinoor
eyes on all the stars
no one can touch!
Na hai humein chand ki chahat na hi taaron ki farmaiysh,

Aap mile har janam bs itni si hai humari khwaiysh.



Dil se sacchi mohabbat krte hain dil se nibhayenge,

Har mod par aap humein apne sang humesha payenge.



Sirf saath jeene tak ki mohabbat nahi hai humari,

Zindagi ke baad ki bhi zindagi hai tumhari.



Na hai humein chand ki chahat na hi taaron ki farmaiysh,

Aap mile har janam bs itni si hai humari khwaiysh.



Bahut kareeb se mehsus kiya hai aapko meelon dur hote hue bhi,

Ye ehsaas ki gehrayi sab par bhari hai chahe kitni ** duri.



Bhale hi laparwaah ** hum par aapki parwaah karte hain hadd se jyada,

Hey ishwar har dua mein bs yhi hu mangti humein karna nahi kabhi juda.



Na hai humein chand ki chahat na hi taaron ki farmaiysh,

Aap mile har janam bs itni si hai humari khwaiysh.



Hum zinda hain tou sirf unki badaulat,

Waasta hai tumhein humara kasam se ki hai sacchi mohabbat.



Ishwar ka Kohinoor hai hamare daaman mein,

Sabse gehra rishta hai is dil ka us dil se.



Na hai humein chand ki chahat na hi taaron ki farmaiysh,

Aap mile har janam bs itni si hai humari khwaiysh.

The aspects of the Spirit
Have been compared to fruit
They're like jewels
within our crown
Brought up from the root
Of the Vine of Jesus
With the grapes so sweet.

Love is like a diamond
The priceless Kohinoor
It's matchless worth & loveliness
Eternally endure!

Joy is a fiery opal
Sparkling it whets
The fire in our spirit man
Reflecting sparking depths!

Peace is bluest sapphire
Pacific and serene
Imagine a perfection
As it Subtly gleams!

Patience is a virtue
The largest perfect pearl
It has sand within it
Yet gives grace to
all the world!

Kindness is a topaz
Unrivaled in Its warmth
It invites you to lie down
By its amber hearth.

Goodness is an emerald
The finest ever seen!
It shares its wealth
with all who need
So it stays ever green!

Humility is a chancery
Like the moon it glows
It is beautiful and so rare
Yet pride it never shows!

Faithfulness is turquoise
Persian and SO rare
It believes and it receives
Blessings not yet there!

Meekness is a beryl
Strong as Samson's arm!
It could break mountains in two
And yet it does no harm.

Long-suffering a ruby
It triumphs pain with good.
It's cut into a perfect heart ❤
Red as Jesus's blood.

Love and our Long-suffering
Are bookends bright and tall.
They keep all the rest in place
Yes... they keep them ALL.

Ghazal May 2016
When your conscience's clear like crystal
You set them off-balance,
For when they see you, and try
ever so hard to find faults in you,
All they see is themselves.
Because you are clean fresh dew!
Pure like sunlight; you act as a mirror
for the soul of the onlooker,
And so, as they peer into you looking
for deceit and dirt,
their own face stares right back at them,
ugly truth gloriously unfurled.
Your open goodness
irks them, agitates them, provokes them
to claw at you, use their might, to
destroy you and all that's right,
but little do they know that you-
are Invincible. Beautiful. Resilient.
Birthed from struggle.
Tempered by truth.
Chiseled by principles.
Challenged by adversities galore,
haven't you always conquered them all?
So shine! Shine with all your brilliance,
and no one can break you,
for your conscience is your greatest wealth,
for your conscience is your Kohinoor.

I could buy you a Phantom,
I could buy you a Kohinoor,
I could buy you a Penthouse,
But I could never truly buy your heart,
To your pleasure & my **satisfaction...

రాతిలా  నిలిచిన  రామ  చిలకమ్మా .
ప్రాణమే  పోయనా  రంగులే  అందించనా .
మాటలే  పలకని  మొహమాటమా .
మంత్రమే  వేయన  మంచిగా  బుజ్జగించనా.
దూరమే  తీరమై  సాగిందిగా .
నావపై  నీ  దరి  చేరనా .
నీ  కోపమే  భూగోలమంత   ఉందిగా .
చిన్నపాటి  నవ్వుతో  మాయచేయనా.
నీ  కరుణే  సముద్రమంత  లోతుగా .
అలల  నడుమున  నీకోసం  వచ్చేయనా.
మన్ను  పైన  కదిలాడే  సిరిసంపదవుగా .
Kohinoor కన్నా  మిన్న  నిన్ను  చేయనా .
Tajmahal లోని  శోభ  నీలోనుగా .
తేజ్ గా  నిన్ను  నా  వశం  చేయనా .
జయము  కోరి  నీవెంట  వచ్చానుగా.
జంకు  లేకుండా  ప్రేమ  సంపాందించనా .
తాంత్రిక  విద్యలైన  నేర్చుకోవాలిగా .
అహర్నిశలు  నువ్వు  నాతొ  ఉండేలానా .
దేవదారు  వృక్షం లాంటి  నిన్ను  చూడగానే .
నా  దేహమే  నీకోసం  బంధి  చేశా .  
ఆణువణువూ  నీ  పేరు  వినిపించేలా  నాలో  నేనే  మంత్రించేసానే  .­
ఈ  స్థితికి  నువ్వే  మందు  నా గతికి  నువ్వే  తోడూ .

Metaphor
Is a sparkling Kohinoor that make the poem so beautiful and heavy!
Notes (optional)
Mohd Arshad Dec 2018
I acknowledge
I'm not Kabir,
Nor Mir nor Eliot,

Still my verses
Aren't less important than kohinoor.

You value or devalue them
I am not bothered a bit.

My pen is a river
Flowing on papers.
LATAJI THE LEGEND

Know we all, honey is indeed very sweet; but my Lataji's voice was even sweeter than honey

In fact the sweetest voice on our planet was her's; exchange it India wouldn't for loads of money.

Every year, I sent you a poem on your Prabhu Kunj address; this time, I am confused, absolutely clueless

But offer you my devotion, reverence n love; requesting Maa Sarasvati, to you bless.

Pleased and happy will be the Gods n Goddesses to have our nightingale up there, with them;

For what more can one wish for, when with them, they have the Kohinoor, a precious most gem.

HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY LATAJI. WE MISS YOU N PRAY FOR YOU.

my heart's coffer
is filled with your memories
if someone exchanges for
KOHINOOR
I won't accept it
In love
