OUR LIFE

In life lucky are the ones, who have problems n difficulties few;

Most people have crosses to bear n carry, on the way, often adding anew

In every life, many "Karmic" payoffs and tests in life are, all along due

O Ahura kind, help us face them, taking things willingly in our stride

May we, like children good, by Your rules n regulations, all life abide

So that, by the end of our life we are spiritually purified

ACCOUNTS

O Ahura, help me please, to all my credits, debits, every account, keep clear;

So that come up I can and see You, in a state happy, without any fear.

I know keeps someone up there, our account of every deed, in detail

Help me please to keep clean my slate of accounts; so that my train doesn't de-rail

gets it, a signal green, clear is the path, when my soul towards heaven does travel

When reaches my soul up there,  the accountant, my personal account will ravel

Hope I, to have a catchet of good deeds; with Your ever helping hand;

This certainly secure a place in Heaven will, when my soul there does land.

पुकार

खोल दे हे प्रभु मेरा अंतर्मन, सुन ले मेरी दर्दभरी पुकार;

दुख अब सहा नही जाता,  स्वीकार ली है मैने अपनी हार ;

सहनशक्ति हो रही है क्षीण, तड़पु मैं, जैसे तड़पे जल बिन मीन

शक्ति दे मुझे प्रभु, हुँ  मैं घायल; कर दे मुझे तेरी भक्तिमे लीन ।

मार्गदर्शन नित्य हो तेरा, तेरे प्रेमभरे हाथोंमें, सदा हाथ हो मेरा

उस पथ पे चलुं, जो बनाया है तुझने; हर घड़ी, हरदम रहे सहारा तेरा !

दिल मेरा है परेशान; आत्मा है अशांत, दिखा मुझे वो शांति की राह;

चारों ओर हो असीम शांति, कभी न सुनाई दे किसीकी, या मेरी भी कोई आह

हे प्रभु! अब तो तुंही है सहारा, तू ही कृपालु, तुंही मेरा है बेली

भले दुनियां हो एक भरा हुआ मेला ; पर हो गई हूं मैं, इस पूरी दुनिया में अकेली

कर कृपा ओ दीनदयालु ! हे कृपालु ! ओ सारे जग के स्वामी, हे अंतरयामी

सुन ले इस दिल की आह मेरी पुकार, देख ले मेरी तड़प, भर दे तेरी हामी ।

THANK YOU FOR BEING MY GURU

A  Guru, a teacher is a very important figure throughout our existence, our life;

All those are our Gurus, our teachers, who help us to combat, to face our strife

One learns many different things in life; not just from humans but also many creatures;

Today, I sincerely thank everyone,  beginning from Mom n Dad, who were my very first teachers.

I thank my school n college teachers, bosses, my Jer Mum, who encouraged me in everything, cent percent

Bhupendra Sir, revived he, my passion, my favourite music in my life, of course with Vispi's encouragement;

Ramiyar, I owe you a thank you big, for being my friend, philosopher n guide.

With all their help, may Ahura lead me on the path right, where, by all His rules, I abide.

May all my dear departed ones, in Heaven climb higher realms n attain great heights

May Ahura bless each n everyone who taught me anything, however small, that is right.

GURU PURNIMA

"Bin Guru gyaan kahaase paavu..."

Neither am I Arjun to get Krishna asaGuru, nor Baiza Maa to get Sai

A tiny bit of mustard seed I am, which is commonly known as "rai"

I have not a guru, who will listen to my many pleas; even if I loudly cry

Our Rainider Soshyosh, during my life time, I may not ever see

Those who Soshyosh Saheb see and hear, indeed very lucky willbe

Filled then will this world entire be, flora and fauna, with sheer glee

Happy Guru Purnima to everyone who has taught me anything good.

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.
