AWAKEN OUR RAVAANS

Eyes these, refuse to see facts; weak n poor is our sight.

Ears these, listen do not to the warning, crystal clear n right.

Tongue this, ever-ready is, to venom spill, argue n fight.

O Ahura  Mazda, upon us silly lot, infuse true religious insight.

Help us to see the truth, flash a torch, throw Your divine light.

Help us, o help us please, to see things clear and bright.

The community in doldrums is; n ego gained has, great height.

You, O Mazda Ahura, with your flames bright, show us the path right.

Awaken our "Ravaans", O Ahura- Mazda, with your divine light.

Our Behaviour

Oh Ahura !!!
what's drastically wrong with us ??? Instead of appreciating, we criticize

Instead of seeing the beauty of someone's thoughts, we see the pocket's size

Someone's rise, their achievements, happiness, in us jealousy arises

With such a mindset weak and low, how do you ever expect to Heaven rise???

Try n rise higher than your ownself; try to increase your own abilities; watch then, how you rise.

O Armaiti divine, in Your safe hands, You, this world lovingly hold.

Protecting us from all extremes, be it torrential rain, heat or bitter cold.

Please listen to my prayers, and plea; my hands, unto You, I reverently fold

Know I, mankind has become callous, selfish, jealous, most cruel n cold;

displayed this is, very obviously in their attitude brazen, so bold.

Generously give us You, water, food, crude oil, iron, minerals, metals other like gold.

Ungrateful we are to  You, our conscience is Dead; to the satan, it we have sold.

Several times through Your actions mild or wild, this to us, You have told;

Even with Your actions, You punish us severely or sometimes gently scold.

Forgive us, n on this day auspicious, I beg You, to now keep us lovingly, in Your fold.

OVERCOME

These days, often feel I, tired, weary and actually weak

Sometimes my heart aches and many times my bones creak.

Irritability, impatience get the better of me these days

To skip activities routine, find I excuses, means n ways

Know I well, old I am becoming, slowly but surely

But O Ahura, help me to these overcome; I know You will surely;

Help me please, to all these difficulties in my stride take

Grow old gracefully let me; n away keep things artificial or fake.

Help me to overcome these ageing problems; grant me good health.

The interest rates decreasing are, n prices escalating; grant me wealth.

ઈમાન

પૈસાથી થઇ જાય છે ભલ ભલાનું ઈમાન ડામાડોળ

બદલી નાખે લોકો પોતાના જ બોલેલા બોલ

બદલાઈ જાય છે લોકો, પહેરી લઈ એક વરુની ખોળ.

અને પોતાનું કારનામું છુપાવવા ખોલે છે એક બીજાની પોલ

ઇમાનદારીનું, સચ્ચાંઈનું, ઓછું થઈ રહ્યું છે આજે જગમાં મોલ

ઓ ખુદા, ધરા આખી ભરાઈ ગઈ છે પાપથી; તું કંઈક તો બોલ

કર મોજેજો એવો કે અમે થઈએ સદગુણી, પાળીએ તારો પડ્યો બોલ.

Can someone answer her please.....

A Girl child's question..  WHERE DO I BELONG?

Fathers, temporarily their daughters keep ; they really to their husbands home belong.

A second-citizen she is, who with her family of birth, won't be staying too long.

But alas it is she who dearly loves them, having emotional attachments strong.

Strangely after marriage, husbands call her paternal home as her home.

Making sure, claims she does not any rights, on his home.

Confused totally now she is, where does she belong ; which is her real home.

After years many of toil, thinks she, she has now settled in her own abode
When suddenly daughters in law, and her own sons her wounds erode ;

They wish to leave her in a home for the aged ; may be  not really on the road!!!

BREED RIGHT

Instead of breeding children, into them, hatred we breed

Instead of unity n integrity, of discord sow we, many a seed

Imagine, seriously think, where will all this, us n them lead (to)

Instead of following the footsteps of ancestors, who fire with respect did feed

We into gen next, bad examples set, isn't this shameful indeed!

Every Parsi, rich n poor, unite should; because useless is a single bead

Form let us, a STRING of PEARLS, n towards prosperity, our children lead.
