😇😇😇MOTHERS

Our Mother's on this Earth,  are angels👼😇👼 without wings

That's why heavenly it feels when a mother, a lullaby sings

A mom's love and care immense joy to her baby brings

However expressive, our words describe  cannot the qualities of a Mom

Sad it is, that appreciate her we rarely do; for this sorry we are, darling Mom(s)

Thank Ahura I most sincerely do; for gifting me such loving n caring Moms.

ऐ मालिक मेरे, हम  इंसानों में, थोड़ी सी इंसानियत तो जगा

तेरा ही जहां दाव पर लगा है

🙏🔥🙏🔥🙏

એક હતા પ્રભુ રામજી ના અનુયાયી, બીજા, શ્રી કૃષ્ણનો પડછાયો બની ચાલે છે

એક હતા અહિંસા અને પ્રેમના પૂજારી, બીજા ભારત નું આત્મ સન્માન સાચવે છે

બન્ને છે પુણ્ય ભૂમિ ભારતના લાડકા સપૂત, અભય વરદાન પામેલા, વીરો

બન્ને નીડર, આત્મ નિર્ભર બંને ત્યાગી, ભક્ત, અને છે સનાતન ધર્મ ના શૂરવીરો

એક સૌમ્ય સ્મિત ફરકાવનાર, શાંત સ્વભાવના,  બીજા સિંઘ ગરજના કરી પડકાર સ્વીકારનાર

બન્ને ઉપર ભારત હતું અને છે નિર્ભર. એક સ્વરાજ સેનાપતિ,  બીજા મહારાણા પ્રતાપ જેવો કરે વાર

બન્ને ઉપર માં ભારતીના છે, અને કાયમ રહેશે આશીષ;  એક હતા મોહન, બીજા નરેન્દ્ર; બન્ને ગુજરાતી

ઝઘમગે, ચમકે ચાંદ અને સુરજ સમાન; દોરવે અને જાળવે ભારતનું ગૌરવ, બન્ને આં ગુજરાતી (ઓ)

નમન કરીએ છીએ તમારી નીડરતા અને બહાદુરી ઉપર; ઓ કરમવીરો મહાન

એકે તગેડી દીધા અંગ્રેજોને, બીજાએ પાકિઓને; જાળવે છે બન્ને ભારત માતાની  આન બાન શાન.

સ્વીકાર કરજો "અનારના" નમન; ગાય દુનિયા આખી તમો બન્નેના ગુણગાન અને માને એહસાન

WHAT ANIMALS THINK ABOUT US

Thought a dog, though they bark like me, mankind is very far from being faithful

Wondering was a cat, they have enough food, yet, just like me, they steal

A fox said, " I am shocked! Men are much more cunning than I am, n most ungrateful too"

A croc felt disgusted, when he saw a man attacking another, stabbing his back

A Chamillion was amazed; *** how can a man change so many colors n that too, so efficiently n quickly!!!

We seriously need to rethink n reconsider; is this our decline??? Shouldn't we improve???

EASTER EGGS

Come EASTER, and  see we, beautiful baskets filled with chocolate bunnies n Easter eggs all over the place

A beginning new, an era commenced; sprang new life from eggs, and cute chicks replace

Clue, I have none, how n why this practise did start, but all I can think is, it does bring in spring

Wishing the world a peaceful HAPPY EASTER,  may this Easter heal us; n in our lives, spring bring.

May our Easter baskets, along with bunnies n eggs, filled be with love, compassion, and peace.

May this beautiful world stay clean, green, serene, and most importantly,  united, in one piece

Forgotten we have; all that Jesus sacrificed, all that he taught.

In our blind race of ego, power n money- obsession we are absolutely caught.

He gave his all for this Mankind; teaching us, to kind n compassionate be;

And we! we forgot his sacrifice; blinded with pride and prejudice, truth we refuse to see.

MAY GOD GIVE US WISDOM, LOVE N COMPASSION.

NO ENTRY

Said she, "These doors shut are now for ever, for you, there's no entry

Water tight chamber now this has become, with a stern n strict sentry

Earlier you had come gushing in like a blizzard; a howling storm you did create;

But no more of it now; permitted no one is in my heart, to any space re-create

Once you entered, stayed you have there, n haunting me you are, like a ghost

Dreamt I, waited eagerly I; but this ship never ever reached the coast

Heavy with immense pain; with deep sadness, it has always been laiden;

Now, once n for all, closed are the doors of my heart forever," said the pretty maiden

Oh what kind of love is this! Why sign did  she this kind of a permanent treaty!

A lifetime entry for only one; for any other, there's not a chance, there's NO ENTRY.

ऐ इंसान, जरा सोच तू.....

आज यहां कोलकाता में बहुत शोरगुल है, ट्रैफ़िक रुकी पड़ी है;

लोगों को मानो घर कैद हो गई है, असुविधा बहुत बढ़ी है

देश का वक़्त, और अपना, हर एक का वक़्त, बर्बाद  हो रहा है

यह तकलीफ, यह मजबूरी बिचारा आम आदमी चुपचाप सह रहा है

एक मेहनती आम इंसान को, जीवन भर बहुत सहना पड़ता है

उसे अपने ही देश में, क्यूँ इस कदर बेबसी में रहना पड़ता है ?

कोई तो बताये, इन हवाओ में प्रेम की खुशबु कब लहराएगी ?

माँ, तू कब, अखिर कब, सुकून और शांति इस धरा पर फैलाएगी ?

શીખવે બંને

કાગડો હોય છે જાડો અને કાળો, અને કોયલ રાણી તું પણ હોય છે કાળી;

પણ અવાજ માં તું છે સૂરો ની રાણી; મીઠા રાગ છેડનારી, સાવ નિરાલી

બિચારા કાગડા ની કા-કા થી, આપણી દુનિયા જાય છે કંટાળી

અને તારા મધુર સૂરો થી તન મન ડોલી ઊઠે, ઓ સૂરો ની રાણી

પણ સારું વર્તન બી છે ઘણું જરૂરી, કોયલ કરે ઈંડા કાંડ, કેવળ બોલે મીઠી વાણી

કાગડો કરે કકળાટ ભલે, પણ કરે એ પર્યાવરણ સાફ, ગંદકી માં મનાવે ઉજાણી;  

શીખ મળે છે બંને થી; પણ શું શીખવું એ આપણી ઉપર છે નિર્ભર; એકથી શીખવું જોઈએ વર્તન, બીજાથી વાણી.

LET'S CALL THEM BACK

Our environment, our Earth and its species many are in severe danger;

Let's not behave in a manner callous, as if we are aliens or strangers

Or our progeny forgive us never will; if we with Nature our ties ruthlessly sever

Right away, let's take steps, at least a few  little ones, to restore Nature; and it rever.

In our balconies, however tiny, a few plants grow; n a bowl of water there put

Young school n college students, plant should  seeds, or saplings with small roots

Let's call our many feathered friends, our birds, squirrels and other friends back

Let our efforts, willingness n fruitfullness show, let it in no way lack.

तेरी बंसी बन कर, तेरे होठों से लग कर, हम प्रेम तराने गए "

WHY

We all know this, that souls come n souls go; come they alone n also go alone

And we the living,  even after knowing all this; their departure grieve n mourn.

Mourn perhaps that we never can see them again,  nor speak to them on phone.

Inspite of our knowledge n all this information, why oh why can't we this fact accept !

Why do we then let this sorrow into our lives seep; can we not some anaesthetic inject ?

Our mind knows it all,  yet our heart accepts it not; can someone explain this difficult concept.

Seers please help.

TO  SIR WITH LOVE

The first look at him, her teacher, n she lost her heart to him that very moment; she gave a stare blank, as he taught

By her emotions, swept away she was, totally off her feet; in a lightening n thunderstorm severe, she was caught

He, the teacher,  suddenly asked her a question, startled her. With a sudden jolt back to reality, she was brought

Her performance drastically had dropped; n reason she had none to give, when she her report to her father brought

With difficulty great, handed over the performance card she did, as she struggled n her tears fought

Now a dropout she was; like Dad, a great business person she would never become; this in her diary, she did jot

Then, one day, her teacher explained, " Love is different from an attraction physical; so she should carefully forward trot."

Smothered, she couldn't him tell, "Sir, I love you." But vowed she, to let him this someday know; n she did so, as proudly held she, the trophy she got

Today, after years many, proudly holding her head high along with the trophy in her hands; her cheeks red, n burning hot;

Proclaimed she proudly amidst all, "This trophy is for you, Sir, with my respect and love! I then, n today, love you a lot. "

FASHIONABLE,  UP TO DATE

" Oh, she is sooooo sooooo old fashioned, absolutely out of date"

May be   I  deny do not; but neither am I ashamed! Torn jeans I just hate;

Buy these tattered stuff they, at prices exorbitant, at a very high rate

Our choli blouse is now worn as a crop-top, to the belly button accentuate

Our grand embroidered "ijar" is now worn with these choli-top; changed has their fate

Happy n satisfied I am with my dresses traditional n their fashion I often create.

पर मचल कर छुना चाहती है बादल को, आसमान को; उसे देखने वाले भी रह जाते है दंग

इस नाजुक सी पतंग को,  उसकी डोर को,  रखनी होगी मजबूती से तंग;

और कभी कभी देनी पड़ती है, मांजे को ढील,  तभी जीती जाती है यह बाजी, यह जंग

मेहनत करनी पड़ती है, ज़हमत उठानी पड़ती है, बैठे बिठाए काम नहीं होगा, छोड़ना पड़ता है पलंग

उड़ती है ऊंची हवा के साथ पतंग, पर डोर काटते ही गिर भी जाती है, " बच्चे, सावधान ", कहता है यह मलंग

BIRTHDAY CANDLES

Aryans, Arya Puthr we are,  that's why rever FIRE  we do;

And that's why this little suggestion, I  bring to you

This way, by burning a candle/Diya besides, we give the fire,  its reverence due

Besides point this, it's an important matter of hygiene too

Blow when you the candles, with your sputum,  contaminate the cake you do

So before you cut the cake,  close your eyes n make your wish; it will come true.

HAPPY ENLIGHTENING BIRTHDAY TO YOU.

THAT SANTA WITHIN US

Don't worry about his looks, no beard, required nor is the red coat or cap;

Santa has pockets huge,  but we just need, in our hearts, a slit or a flap

Rudolph and reindeers other, may need a clasp or a strong strap;

But need we,  just a burning desire to help another just a coins few to buy a  pen or put a kid on our lap

To bring out that  hidden Santa, just smile, laugh n clap.

Merry Christmas,  and a happy New Year from this Santa, without a cap

Seems, humans have lost it, become they have insane;

So many millions homeless they have made; so many thousands they have slain

Do not understand I,  why to others,  they cause  such horrid pain

What then, do we humans, from our behavior so cruel n atrocious gain?

PATHS

Paths in our lives differ,  they are varied, so very many;

Each of us  has a path different, zig-zag, some straight, few even uncanny

some souls live a life mundane, some exciting and  very adventurous;

Depending on how one marches onward, how one goes ahead n ventures.

Journeys often rough are, very few are picture perfect or  fine;

But we are on our way to a destination single; that is to merge with the divine.

TUBES    . .. Here a tube , there a  tube,  everywhere  a tube, tube  ;

Locked up in a tiny room I am, as if in a cube

One  for intake  of oxygen, one for output of peritoneal drainage

Both in and out  of my Parsi nose; what an outrage !

Yet another from the bladder, n intravenous on my hands both

Two at the feet, to  circulation  help; only these 2, I do not loathe.

When ill, we humans try to it repair,  spending enormous wealth.

LOVE

Loved You I should have, as much as I loved him, perhaps,  even much more;

But we humans have attraction more for things physical, so wrong went my ratio, my score.

Physical attraction won over the abstract one; thus, sadly, the crust won over the core.

With him away, now, my mistake realise I; my love should have been skyward,  not at the level of the floor.

Sorry I am, to transgress; for me to closer come to You, please, O please now open the door.

AWAIT I, FOR YOU TO ENVELOPE ME IN YOUR WARM LIGHT; UPON ME, PLEASE YOUR LOVE POUR.

BIRTHDAY CANDLES


LET'S NOT BLOW OUT BIRTHDAY CANDLES, even though it's a tradition, pretty old.

All Aryans, fire respect and it consider holy, worthy of reverence; since ages, this we are told

Also, not because it is merely a western ritual; but unhygienic it is very; especially if one has covid or cold.

I  too have done it for years as a child, but since last few years, I  have this decision taken bold.

Just Besides the cake, light a candle;  make your birthday wish; eyes please close n your hands do fold

God most willingly will grant it unto you; because it is to Him, you have, this secretly told.

DEEP DESIRES

Deeply desire I, a surrounding, clean, very green n serene, with scented n colourful flowers, I mean

Imagine roads n railway lines on both sides,  loaded with fruit n flower trees! That's a deeply desired scene !

In the name of development, moving away we are from nature; only concrete jungles all around are seen

Climatic changes n water shortages result, sea levels are dangerously rising, and few to safaris have ever been.

Oxygen levels reducing are; poisonous gases our children harm; need they, an environment clean.

Rain harvesting, if done n artificial lakes created are for our generation future; to them a lot it will mean.

If cotton n jute grown n used is; n reduction in the use of plastics n wood promoted, eco-changes will be seen.

Lord, please o please fulfil this deep burning desire of mine; since long burning deep down my heart it has been.

Mothers are divine, that's why it is perhaps said, " A mother is a mother, like her, there isn't another"

Of course, Ahura's blessings also come in the form of wonderful fathers, sisters n brothers.

Mum, thanks a million for leaving your spiritual duties n coming down for me, from up above

Ma, I have words sufficient not; for your protection in forming for me, that envelope of love

That loved n secured feeling that I get, that wonderful, comforting, reassuring feeling you give.

May be it's this bond, that's there, right from the time, me, your little baby you did conceive.

Thank you, darling Ma, for requesting Ahura n even leaving aside your heavenly duties for your lil girl.

I am indeed so very thankful for this envelope of love, where, in your arms, I can, so very comfortably curl.

MEMORIES MAD BUT "MITHHI"

The clock constantly, nonstop, ticks. Sometimes, it even beautifully chimes

It is those which you treasure, cherish, savour; it is indeed those past precious times !

Memories loving, naughty, full of fun, some very cute little trinkets, costing just a few dimes

The food tasty, yummy,  that your mum very lovingly made; its taste you savour lifelong

Those ****** limericks n rhymes you created, still stay with you; so also, your mum's favourite song.

That laughter crazy, those expressions insane, all the silly jokes hang on, until that last gong.

A MERE MORTAL

So ordinary,  just a miniscule little creature created I am, by the  greatest of all, all-powerful  Ahura

A spec of dust or a grain of sand,  or perhaps a drop of water, in this universe,  created by mighty Mazda

Wish I to know why, then, we men ordinary,  mere mortals, think so much, n so high about ourselves?

Why do even scholars great, learned men like Ravan fail? How do we correct or control ourselves ?

Why do we have an ego so inflated, when we are, just a bubble? Why in this mere mortal does ego dwell ?

Like a flooded, destructive river or sometimes even like a huge mighty tsunami wave, it does swell

O kind  Lord, help this mere mortal, to this ego problem understand; where stands this thin line between ego n self respect?

Confused, entangled into my own web I get; a mere mortal, my own decision,  I  sometimes suspect.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

SMILE PLEASE, DON'T SMIRK

Whenever you do, always flash a radiant smile;

let it be from within,  then it will reach out far, perhaps a mile.

Even your eyes, it reflects, they speak volumes; when it's a genuine smile;

A smile which is not fake, nor a plastic one, just for style.

A kind tender smile lightens not just your face; it's like the life- giving Nile.

SOOOO FLASH YOUR MILLION DOLLAR SMILE.

LONGING

A longing there is,  to now home, quickly reach ;

For this to You, O Ahura Mazda, I implore, I  beseech

Forgotten, I have the looks of my home, its dimensions, my batting pitch;

Its colourful and fragrant gardens; oh, and also,  was there a beach?

Forgotten I have those beautiful faces of angels, with whom perhaps I did play;

Or in those meadows besides the stream, with friends, where I did lazily lay

Are those gates still huge? Will they, me an entry permit, or keep me at bay?

To those, my dear ones,  who receive me will; I do have so many things to say.

Today on ROZ n MAH FRAVARNDIN, to all revered Ravans, I say a prayer quick;

"Is the flower or fruit ready ? Eagerly waiting, I am; when will You, me pick?"

Half burnt , old, and worn out is the lamp; weak is its overused wick

Now, there is a longing to get home. Perhaps I am homesick.

😥😨😱😥 ACHES

Aches and pains do make us very low feel;

Especially when we, under acute pain, reel

Be it physical or emotional, it takes time to heal

But give up, we must never, nor our pain conceal

Fight it bravely, we need to, however difficult it is to deal.

Remember, troubles and  pain cannot our fate seal.
