અભિલાષા

કાગ ડોળે રાહ નિહારું છું, આંખો મિચાય એ પહેલાં તને મળવાની છે અભિલાષા

શાંતિ થી, તારી  બાંહોમાં પ્રાણ ત્યાગવાની રાખું છું હું , એક  અંતિમ  આશા.

એ વેળાએ, તારી આંખો થી નિકળતી અશ્રુધારામાં વહી જવાની છે અભિલાષા.

ગંગા જળ જેટલાં પુનિત, પાવન હશે એ અશ્રુ; મૃદુલ પ્રેમ અમી વરસાવતી હોય છે, આંખોની ભાષા.

પ્રીત તો બસ થઈ જાય છે, અણદિઠી ડોર બસ બંધાઇ જાય છે, આંખોની અનોખી છે ભાષા.

પ્રીત માં, આપ લે હોતી નથી, તો પણ જરુર આવજે, રાખું છું હું, તુઝ્કન આં આશા.

તું જગત નો રાજા, હું  ગ્વાલણ એક અભણ; બસ તારી પ્રેમ પ્યાસી; કરજે પૂરી મારી આં અંતિમ અભિલાષા

DELAY NOT

Love is an absolute necessity, need it we all

Whenever you remember your loved ones,  just call.

Busy life keeps us all,  but don't ever delay, don't stall

Pleeeeeeease pick up the phone,  just call .

निशानी

जब गया तूं, कभी भी न लौटने के लिए, तो मोहन, एक  निशानी तो  छोड़ जाता !

नैन बिछाये बैठे रहे, मेरा प्यार, शायद तुझे, इस ओर  खिंचके लाता  

न कोई निशानी छोडी, जिसे हम दिलसे लगाये रखते; बस याद में तेरी रोते रहे

पर तूं तो लौटा ही नहीं, और हम आश लगाये बैठे रहे, बस  बैठे ही रहे

तूं कभी वापस न आया; मौसम बदले, सालों बीते, पर तूं लौट के न आया ।

जीना चाहते न थे, पर जीना पडा; तो तेरे मोर पंखको हमने सिने से लगाया ।

वही तुझे बहुत प्यारा था, तो बनाके उसे  तेरी निशानी,  हम वही उठा लाये

चाहते थे आँसू बहाना पर वोह भी नहीं किया; कही जमुनजी में, बहाड़ न आ जाये!

क्यूँ छोड़ के यह प्यार भरा संसार, बन बैठा तूं द्वार्काधीश, दुर जाके मुझसे ?

पर मोहन मेरे, इस एक पंख के सहारे, यह तेरी राधिका रह नहीं पाती है दुर तुझसे ।

लगाये बैठी हूँ सीनेसे, यह पंख, जो है तेरी निशानी, जो है मुझे जान से प्यारी ।

भले तु माने न माने, बडी मजबुर है यह तेरी राधिका, कब तक चलाएगा तूं, यूह दिल पे मेरे आरी?

MAY YOUR GOOD SIDE WIN

Thinks one does not often, of all different aspects;
All one wishes is that his dear ones give him love n respect.

Ahura, tell me please, what does a man with self respect, expect ;
Only that people should him, love n respect.

Expectations many, one must have not, I agree
But sad I feel, when third grade treatment, given is, then I disagree.

Why have money n power overtaken this world ?
Why are poor n unimportant people, hassled n hurled ?

Ashamed people are, of their relatives poor, commercially useless n old.
Them they often neglect, snub, even ill-treatment or scold.

O Ahura, let such things happen not. May man's good side win, and ahreman's not.

JUDICIARY

Rotting is the system entire, shouldn't it be set on fire ?

Only wealthy crooks, win cases because lawyers powerful they can hire.

Hearing  n seeing what is going around, only increases my ire.

Judges n witnesses on sale!!! crooks rich are the buyers.

When will that blind folded symbol, open her eyes; the need is dire.

Cases of dragging justice lingering on for years, is rising higher

Shouldn't we burn this rotting judiciary with fire or an electric wire?

What is your reaction?

GRANDPARENTS

(Dedicated to my dearest  Grandparents n Grand- Aunts n uncles.)

Bind Grandparents, their family together, most lovingly,  caringly n painstakingly.

Such a pleasure it was to them visit, during every vacation; which, awaited we, eagerly.

Joy sheer it was,  to run into their arms and get their hugs n kisses; so tenderly

Spoilt us they,  showering their love, with gifts, toys,  sweets; n food cooked deliciously.

Oh those special dishes, mouth watering, tempting, made for us, endearingly.

Riding little bikes, fun games, running around our huge mansion n compound care freely

Spell binding were those fascinating story sessions from Shahnameh, narrated interestingly.

Nanaji's funny story- narration, awaited our family entire, most enthusiastically.

Wonderful memories I hold will,  as long as I live,  n pray for all  of you dears, very lovingly.

SCARS

In  life,  there is a lot of strife and scars left are plenty;

Some  people have hundreds, lucky ones perhaps suffer few.

Scars emotional, easily affect people, who are very senti.

Scars rarely clean are, like the surgical ones; with  a  scalpel sharp.

Often life gives us shocks rude; n leaves scars  lacerated.

Our jealousy, ego, anger etc give n create mental scars, amongst n within.

Some wounds hidden are,  those we suffer in silence, d conteused ones.  

When dear ones part,  lesions those most painful are, compared to others.

Help us O Kind Ahura to completely heal; may every scar entirely seal.
