वक्तका तकाज़ा

जो थकते नहीं थे तुम्हे साब-साब करते,
न जाने वो सब आज, कहाँ खो गए

और मैं भी जीने समझती थी अपना, अब बन गए हैं एक सपना;
न जाने वो सब कहाँ खो गए

Shez और Annu के सिवाय, कोई रहा नहीं है अपना, वही रोज़ याद करते हैं; क्या कहु अब; वो अपने, न जाने सब कहाँ खो गए

किसीको भी वक्त नहीं है, सब अपने काममें है मशरूफ; इस लिए,
शायद वो कहीं खो गए है

जो चला गया, उसकी, यानेकि तुम्हारी जिम्मेदारी थी मैं; शायद यह ही है वक्तका तकाज़ा; इसी लिए,
वो सब कहीं न कहीं खो गए

वो ज़माना अलग था, जब अपना कोई अकेला न पड़ जाए यह लोक देखते थे;
न जाने वो ज़माना आज कहाँ खो गया, दूर दूर कहीं चला गया।

वक्त का यह तकाज़ा मुझे मंज़ूर हो न हो; झेलना तो यह गम पड़ेगा;
न जाने वो वक्त कहाँ खो गया

MIRAGE

My life entire I spent dreaming away, oh my God, what a waste !

As a kid thought I, absolutely fabulous n fantastic was my taste !

In a glance, just a glimpse; fell in love I did, in a moment of haste !

Love you I did immensely; but you were actually a mirage, not a reality

Perception faulty was mine; nowhere between us, there was any equality

You had nothing to do with this; you were a mirage, just living in the same city

Sad, out of proportion was growing, this one sided love of mine

Never did you invite me for a date, or with you to even dine,

Crazy was my love; patiently thought I, one day things will definitely be fine

But shadows cannot an actual shape take; a mirage always will so remain

Life yours, had no place for me; in it, an entry I would never be able to gain.

Alas! on a mirage, my life entire I spent; frustrated, in excruciating pain.

HAPPY HEAVENLY 105th BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday my angel divine, as always, I wish you all the very best.

On this Earth underwent you many a trial, tribulation and test,

Send you I, lots n lots of love; wish you I peace, progress n even some rest.

Ma, your love n strong support I very much miss; but glad I am, undergo you didn't, this pain

Afraid I am, bearing it would wound your heart n soul; making you insane.

Trying my best I am, to brave become, n my composure regain

Happy n blessed may you always stay, til we meet.

Your ever loving daughter,
Anar

ખતરનાક અભિમાન

જોજે, તને પણ, બીજાઓની જેમ, આં ચેપી, સત્તાનો નશો ચઢી ન જાય

ભયલા મારા, આં વાયડો ખતરનાક બહુ છે, જોજે એ તારી તરફ નહીં વાય

એ જ્યાં જ્યાં વાય છે, ત્યાં ત્યાં ત્રાસ વાર્તાવે છે, પછી તો ચોક્કસ છે પતન

માનવને એ બદલી નાખે છે, એવા પરિવર્તનથી પતન ન થાય; રાખજે એ જતન

ખતરનાક છે નશો આં અભિમાનનો, લોકપ્રિય થવાનો રાખતો નાં તું કોઈ ચસ્કો

સત્તા અને પૈસા જયાં જ્યાં હોય છે, ત્યાં માનવીઓ કામ કઢાવવા, મારે છે ખોટો મસ્કો

LET US PREPARE


Prepared be; anytime, any moment, come may our Heavenly call. 


Let's our work diligently do, our promises fulfil, our words keep n nothing stall 


Like a sportsman, focus we must on our goal, whilst still in our hands is the ball


For  just like an autumn leaf, away from the tree, lifelessly we too will, one day fall 


Before comes the call, let us be completely prepared, for that final ride on the pall


Need we will, that extra bit of energy n verve; through prayers, let us these install 


With our mission on Earth successfully completed, we will able be, to rise spiritually tall.

SHADOWS DARK

(After watching a film...Aanchal)

Oh ! how could he, how could he ever think like this, thought she; how very low !

"I, whose example many give n vouch for "; believe she couldn't; how could he stoop so low!

Shattered was Pooja, on this allegation hearing; she just could take this blow!

Respected greatly was Pooja; people many, her character truly adored;

When Parag, her character blamed; turned she into Maa  Durga, n loudly roared

It was an outburst instant ! contain herself she couldn't; anger poured;

"I, who believe in one love, throughout life; you blame me? How dare!

Staying with you is impossible, this horrible weird allegation I can't bear!

Your thinking so distorted can be, even imagine this I cannot; how unfair!"

Life in a moment single, so drastically did change; for support she groped

Smothered and suffocated she felt, as if in shackles strong she was tightly roped

All of a sudden, disappeared the sunshine n in shadows dark she was enveloped.

WHERE AM I GOING WRONG

Wondering b worried I am, is something really wrong with me ?

Is something wrong with my thinking; can I things clearly see ?

Into depression am I slipping; then really careful I got to be

Sensitive I was always, is that why, the world I clealy do see

Or has hypersensitivity got the better of me?

People are busy, but can't I expect their min or two for me ?

Is it a bit too much, if expect this I from relatives n friends for me?

Tell me frankly please, am I slipping into self-pity ?

Where am I going wrong; can you please check n tell me.
