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.

Teshtar Tir, our Earth, thirsty is.
Give us adequate rains please.
We also need many many more trees;
With the help of Amardad Ameshaspand, grant us these.
They in turn, rich oxygen can release.
And humans can enjoy fruits, shade n breeze

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

Live you may, anywhere, in any part of the world, but home is always, where your heart is.

It is where you have ties, sentiments attached; where your stress you can release

It's definitely that place, where your heart, mind and body are relaxed n at ease.

Not necessarily a place posh, overflowing with wealth, it's where you can your tensions release

Where music of your choice, you can hear, or just read whatever you please

We all need materialistic comforts, gadgets too; certainly buy you may these;

But that little comfy place, where your heart yearns to be; actually your home is.

If with me you agree about this, let me know your views please.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Listen, o please listen to my many sighs;
Come o please come before I close my eyes.

In your arms, take me please;
Say nothing, just give me a kiss.

In your loving, caring arms, I wish to die;
That's why, I am calling you to say a final good bye.

Kiss me on my forehead before I am dead.
Anxiously wait I will for you, in my death bed.

Armin Dutia Motashaw.

SEEK I

Lord, Whenever I feel tired and weak;

When my mind and body hurt or bones creek;

Looking upward, at Heaven, Your help I seek.

Sometimes sound I may, disheartened, bitter or weak;

But it's only You, I can turn to, when distress is at it's peak.

May my faith never waiver;  or in anger, never should I shriek.

Grant me patience and unwavering faith; that's what I seek.

THANK YOU.
Aedoon baad.

SECOND INNINGS

For a son, life long, I was always pinning

Dark clouds almost always have a silver lining

Thus began my precious second innings.

As a senior batsman, in my second innings I am shining.

A cute grandson into my life has now come.

Along with my granddaughter, they are an awesome twosome.

Of my life the most important part they have become;

Enjoy we whenever for their holidays they come.

Quench they the thirst of being loved

It's simply divine when in my arms they curl curved.

Me, with their unconditional love they have served.

With contentment I thank You Lord, in gratitude, for being dearly deeply loved.

SAAL MUBARAK

Today, is a new bigining a new page.
It's a beautiful book with many a blank page.
Pour in I have to, my thoughts at every stage.
But before I do this, them I must gauge.
Help me to do this well, O my wise sage.

Fill it with colours vibrant n  brilliant on every sheet.
May my paintings, the shadows of darkness, outbeat.
Fill it with songs soulful, soothing n sweet.
Pour in I can, my feelings in ink; pouring every heart-beat.
May I be able to do all this n more, before I retreat.

Grow I wish to, lots  of flowers n green.
Help me, make this world look a little more clean.
O Ahura, can I please be an instrument, to make it serene.
I wish to make things better, then what they have been.
Help me O Mazda, to fulfill these dreams that I have seen.

Dedicated to my dearest Jer Mummy

એક હતું પારેવડું નાનું, મઝાનું.

સાંભળો જરા ધ્યાનથી એક નાના પારેવડાં ની આં નાનકડી ટવવાર્તા.
જ્યારે  એને આવ્યા પંખ,  એ સમજવા લાગ્યું પોતાને, કરતા-ધરતા.

હતું એ જ્યારે નાનું, માતાએ ખવડાવ્યું પીવડાવ્યું, સહી તડકો છાયો.
પાંખો માં એને લપેટી રાખ્યું, વાયડો તોફાની જ્યારે વાયો.

હવે આવી એને પાંખો; અને સિખ્યુ એ ઉડવા, ખુલ્લા આકાશમાં.
લાગ્યું એ, ખુલ્લી પાંખો પસારી, ખુલ્લે મને ફરવા ઉજાશમાં.

ઉપર આકાશમાંથી જોઈ ધરા નીચે, થતું એ મગરૂર
એને લાગતું મારી આં નવી અદાઓ અને રંગોથી, છું હું મશહૂર.

માએ આપી શિખામણ કહ્યું, " આં તારી રીત છે ખતરનાક."
પારેવડું કહે, "જવા દેને, તું કરે છે સાવ ખોટી પંચાત, નાહક".

માતા નું કહયું ન માન્યું એને, તજી દીધી પાંખો હુંફાળી, તજી દીધો હુંફાળો માળો.
હવે એક દી, આકાશમાં અચાનક આવ્યો કાગડો કાળો;

ઝડપથી એને દબોચ્યું પારેવડું, હર્યા એના જવાન પ્રાણ.
માંની શિખામણ માની હતે તો આવતે નહિ આવું દર્દનાક તોફાન.

માત પિતા નું માને કહ્યું જે બાળક, આપે એમને જે માન;
થાય સુખી સદા એ, સુંદર હોય એ ને માટે, આં કુળ જહાન.

યાદ રાખજો આ વાર્તા નાનકડી, કરતાં નહિ અવહેલના કદી માં- બાપની.
એમના આશિષથી, સુધરી જશે સદાકાળ, જિંદગી હર સંતાનની.

एक तु , अनेक तेरे नाम

जन्मदिन मुबारक तुझे, हे  घनश्याम

देवकी का दुलारा,

और भी बहुत है तेरे नाम

वासुदेव ने दिया तुझे, उनका नाम

योगेश्वर भी तु, मनमोहन भी तूही;
एक ही है तु, पर अनेक तेरे नाम

हर कोई पुकारे तोहे जब पड़े तेरा काम;

स्वीकार करो हे गिरिधर अपने हर भक्त का प्रणाम ।

Long and dark is the night.
To get some sleep, I with myself, fight;
Hoping, about you I will dream all night.
But dark, long and lonely is the night.

Wish, star lit, would be this night.
The silver-gold Moon, shining bright.
Cool n soothing should be the breeze all night.
The Moon's reflection in the river, is a magestic sight.

NEED WE

Who wouldn't happy want to be ?
Who sorrows would want to often see ?
Gladly, to happy be, I would pay a fee.

Creatures all, glad wish to be; seek they glee.
Always, peace, happiness, n health seek We.
Love n care from our own, need we.

26th NOVEMBER

A black day in the history of our commercial capital Bombay, this was;

Enemity, hatred, jealously, a weird mentality was perhaps the cause

only if we could act after we thought, after we could, for a while pause;

Only if human beings, a little worried would be, about their dreadful consequences;

Their facing God, difficulties they would face in crossing to the other end, those after-death fences.

ભજન

ગાતી રહું હું, તારાં પ્રેમ ગીત, થઈને ભાવ વિભોર,

ભજન તારાં, ગાતાં ગાતાં, ન જાને ક્યારે, થઈ જાય ભોર

ગીત પર નહીં, સંગીત કે શબ્દો પર નહીં, ભાવ પર મારા કરજે ગૌર.

યાદ રહે સદા તને, તું જ છે, મારો પ્રીતમ, મારો ચિતચોર,

આં રાધા નો પુકાર સાંભળ,
ઓ ગોપીઓના માખનચોર

આમ વાંસળી વગાડી, કર નહીં મને આવી રીતે ભાવ વિભોર

સાંભળતાજ તારી વાંસળી મધુર, નાચવા લાગે, મારા મન નો મોર.

તું ભલે હોય આખા જગતનો, પણ મેં તો બાંધી છે, તારીજ સાથે પ્રેમ-ડોર

ગાઈ ગાઈ ભજન, પુકારું તને, હું તને બી કરું ભાવ વિભોર

આવી જા સાંભળી ભજન મારા, હવે કેટલો રીઝાવું તને, ઓ ચિતચોર

One day, certain it is that all of us shall, from 7D to a 2D picture become

"Om Shanti, RIP, or SaroshYazad Panahbad" say will, quite some

Tears shed quietly, or cry for us, or even rue some will too

Your departure intolerable will be for just a few; perhaps one or two.

That's when people close to you, will this truth realise and know.

Easy very it is to say,  "I'm with you", but difficult it is in deeds to show.  

Die can no one, neither can anyone accompany a departed soul;

But changes life suddenly for those few, nothing can them console

Siblings, kids, friends n colleagues definitely show you sympathy

But agree you will, O 7D, I one needs loads of love n empathy.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

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.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

दर्द कहां किसीको भाते हैं !
फिर भी वो जीवनमे आते हैं ।

कुछ दर्द बड़े कीमती और न्यारे है
कुछ दर्द जिगर के करीब और प्यारे है।

सोचा था अमन चमन और प्यार में जीवन बसर करेंगे;
सोचा न था, तुझ पर दिल लूटा के तुझ पर यूह मरेंगे ।

मिला न तु, तो दर्द तेरा अपना लिया मैंने;
जीवन भर याद रहे, ऐसी सौगात दे दी तुने ।

प्यार छुपता नहीं, छुपानेसे, यह तो था पता;
पर दर्द तेरा, दिल में बसा लेंगे, यह न था पता ।

अब तो जिएंगे उम्र भर,  इस दर्द के साथ;
और मरेंगे भी, लेकर यही एहसास;
खाली हाथ ।

On Roj Ram Mah Khordad
Time flies, it's true; passed have, years ten gross
But even today, it hasn't been able to lessen our loss.

Far away from us you are now, but every moment I re-live can.
Dad dearest, besides being a legal luminary, you were a great man.

To Frehan n Zoish, I tell your super exciting tales.
Tell them, grow up they should, like you, acquiring your quales.

Stay happy in Goarathman behesht, with Mom may you.
Remember and bless us all, as you would always do.

I MISS YOU VERY MUCH, MY DARLING DAD.

CONCOCTION

A healthy concoction to live; is a balance between our body and mind.

Of course physical, emotional, mental all together, combined.

A dash of prayer with Humata, Hukt, Huvareshta will us beautifully bind.

But today, let us a healthy concoction of our very own tea make

With ginger, clove, lemongrass, mint, light black tea make; then some lemon take;

With a spoonful of juice, add honey Beelicious, not the ones artificial or fake.

Concoction this, our immunity strengthen will, so covid we can fight

This way, set we can our inner and outer balance perfectly right.

With food other healthy, n cups three of this tea will keep us bright.

DEBT FULFILL

Towards mother Nature, we must show our care.

Our contribution in our own small way, with Her share.

It can be huge big or insignificantly small, but it's got to be there.

Let's just do our bit, need there is none, to compare.

Her flora and fauna should be under a human's duty n care.

Rear  Her endangered species, which become have rare.

Each one can at least grow house plants; for this, develop a flare

Save seeds and sow them, wherever you can; a tree a year, is fair.

Save it with your ideas innovative; water is becoming rare.

Work we must, to our debt fulfill and prove that for Her we deeply care.

પૂછું હું તને

લાખ કરો પ્રયત્ન, પ્રીત પરાણે થાય નહિ, જાણે આં સૌ.

પણ થયા પછી, એ ભૂલાય પણ નહિ, જાણે આં સૌ.

આવો વિચિત્ર કેમ હશે આં પ્રેમ, સમજાવે કોઈ આં મને.

વિના વિચાર્યે શા કારણે ઉત્પન્ન થતો હશે આં પ્રેમ; સમજાવે કોઈ આં મને.

કોઈને આપે એ સુખ અપાર, કોઈ સહે વિરહ નું દર્દ; હશે આવું કેમ ?

પ્રેમી પારેવડાં આપે એક બીજા માટે પ્રાણ, તો લેય જીવ પણ; હશે આવું કેમ ?

કૃષ્ણ તું તો જગ નો દાતા, તું વિધાતા; આં પ્રીત શા કાજે રચી તે ?

પ્રશ્ન અનેક, જવાબ આપ તું કાંઈક તો,  આં પ્રીત શા કાજે રચી તે ???

તેં પ્રીત રચી રાધા સાથે, રુક્મિણી ને બનાવ્યા રાણી; આવું કેમ ?

મીરાંની એક તરફની પ્રીતે, બનાવી દીધી બિચારી ને દીવાની; આવું કેમ ?

KEEP SWIMMING

It's indeed sad that people pull others down.

Turn they your image pure white into muddy brown.

Try they to rip off your goodness,  your crown.

But  give up do not, just  carry on; we must swimming keep , not drown.

કોમળ હતી એ કળી, એમના બાગની.

લાડ કોડ થી ઉછેરી હતી એને, બચાવી આગ થી.

માળીઓ એ મેહનત કરી હતી દિન રાત

પણ કુદરત ને કદાચ મંજૂર ન હતી આં વાત

અચાનક લાગી એમના જીવનમાં એક ભીષણ આગ;

સુનું થઈ ગયું આંગણ એમનું, ઉજડી ગયો બાગ.


ફોકટ થઈ ગઈ એમની જેહમત.

માલિક મારા આપજે માળીઓ ને  હિમ્મત.

આપ્યો ઘા તે, રૂઝવજે એને તું.

બસ એજ દુઆ કરું માળીઓ માટે હું.

बावरे नैन

दर्शन को तरसते हैं तेरे पिया, मेरे यह बावरे नैन

छिन लिया है मोहन तुने, मेरे दिल का चैन ;

बता मुझे, धुन्द्ने तुझे, बिरहन मै, कहां  जाऊ

बंध करू इन्हे, तो दर्शन की झलक पाऊ ;

खोलूं नैन तो, हो जाए तू ओज़ल;

बिरहमें तेरे, थक गई हूँ, सांसे भी है बोझल

तेरे बिरह में असवन बहाये, मेरे यह बावरे नैन;

बांसुरीया तेरी, सुना कर मीठी ताने, कर जाती हैं जिया बेचैन

तरसाना, तड्पाना इतना, ठीक नही है प्रितम मेरे ,

शाम सवेरे, नित्य तरसु  मैं, दर्शन को तेरे

नज़र फेर कर, मुझे ठुकरा कर, क्या मिलेगा तुझे ;

बस माँगू इतना, दर्शन दिखला जा मोहन मुझे ।

May the winds of war, from the last year, turn to a breeze soothing, filled with happiness n peace

May pride, ego and wars for greed n power, totally vanish; may they permanently cease.

May snowflakes of love, goodness and peace drizzle; may they tremendously increase

I am a dreamer, and prefer to be one; so may all those melting glaciers once again freeze

May Mother Nature help us, granting us wisdom, to greenery,  fruits n flowers increase

May Ahura, the kind Lord of wisdom, unto us, a good quantum of wisdom release.

I, on this New Year, to all my dear ones send, plenty of warm wishes n hugs, with a tight squeeze.

CHARACTER  ASSASSINATION


Assault some  physically,  mentally and yet some, emotionally

Destroy some people the victims, professionally or  vocationally

Some people just  assassinate the poor person's pristine character

How does the affected person deal with so many different  factors???

Readers,  agree with me you all will, these accusations are unpardonable crimes.

Unfortunately these are on a rise steep during our, so called  modern times.

Of these,  one of the worst and absolutely  unpardonable crime is ****;

Wonder I, how n why does law allow these loathed criminals to escape.

It's an earnest request to all judges, advocates,  police,  ministers

In fact, everyone concerned, from the highest to the lowest administrators

Put your daughters,  sisters, wife or mother in the victim's place

Awaken your conscience; make your money else where; in her, please see their face.

Another thing is, do not ever assassinate someone 's character

Find out facts,  reasons behind their behaviour or action; there could be important factors

Easy it is to become a vicious demon and tarnish an innocent's image

Do not be the cause of someone's miseries,  or  her  character damage.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

मृग तृष्णा से कभी बुझती नहीं प्यास
फिर्भी, जीवनभर हम बांधे रखते हैं एक आश।
न जाने, क्यू करते  है हम, इस मृगजल पे विश्वास?
जो कभी नहीं बुझाता तन मन की प्यास।
बन जाते है हम,दूसरों के लिए एक उपहास।
हो जाता है हमारी आकांगशाओ का नाश,
फिर भि बुझती नहीं हमारी अधूरी प्यास।

THE  STRENGTH OF LOVE

THOUGHT PROVOKING....

READING THIS MAY HELP YOUR DEAR ONES.....

Want to share a rare experience with you friends,  to tell you what love does....
My  Kaki,  (Dad's best friend's wife) was  suffering from alzheimer's. She had  forgotten even names of her family members except her youngest son's.

We were very closely knit; and Kaki n Kaka  loved me dearly. They often visited me whenever I  went home to visit my family. I too visited them  each time I went to  Bombay.

Then Kaka left us for his Heavenly abode. Kaki's health slowly deteriorated. It  was  pathetic to  see her  staring at everyone like a stranger. It was heart breaking.

On  one of my visits to  Bombay, my Bhabhi n I were visiting her.  Only her grand daughter n maid were there.  I  gave her a warm hug n sat across trying to revive old memories.  Suddenly   she  got up,  came across n kissed me.  Everyone including me was shocked. I just couldn't believe what had happened. It was a thing, least expected !!!
This  proves that love helps everyone, including people who have a memory loss.

We shouldn't give up easily,  keep  loving them and showing them they are precious and important.
Even today after years, I  feel that warmth.  It was an event that reiterated my  belief in love.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

LOVE HAS GREAT STRENGTH. May be this will help them to recover or  at least slow down the menace.

Happy (શુભ શિવરાત્રી) Shivratri.

ભમ ભમ ભોલે, આવી શિવરાત્રી ની રાત

પોતે વિષ પીને, શિવજી એ આપી બુરાઈ ને માત

વિષ પીતાં શીખીએ આપણે પણ
જીવનમાં ;

તો કદાચિત થોડી શાંતિ વધે, આપણા જીવનમાં .

MY FLIGHT OF IMAGINATION

Imagine how wonderful this world would be, without any terror n fright

If people travel could freely, without visa; just hop on to any flight

With my very own wings to fly, reach I could those Himalayan heights

If hungry, reach an orchard I would, filled with fruits, for a meal nourishing yet light

Spend I would summers in Switzerland or Kashmir, under soft sunlight

Winters in the warm waters of Mauritius or Maldives, would be comfy; n a lovely sight

But with covid all over, all around,  my dreams could crash, sad would be my plight

Hopefully, the situation soon changes, n things soon turn bright

A FEW MINUTES OF INSANITY

Sometimes, just a moment or two of insanity request You I, to grant me, O my kind Lord.

Sorry about this request, but I am asking you this dreadful thing, like a patient, on my own accord

When the pain searing n unbearable becomes, to forget things, this moment I need

Blank may become my mind, devoid of all turmoils, thoughts n pain, please concede.

Help me to undergo thru' these painful torturing times, I sincerely request.

How do so many others go through this period, quite normally, will always be my quest !

Lord, grant me daily, some peaceful sleep; like a Mother's loving lap, for moments few, Yours give me.

I think I am going insane, so, O my Lord dear, do what's best for me; that which I can't really see.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

IF you were a doctor; your patient, I would love to be.
At least, with care great, you would examine me.
Your healing touch, would give my grieving heart some glee.

IF a sculptor you were; your splendid creation I would love  to be.
At least with love n admiration deep; me, you would see.
Love I would that precious touch, the pride of owning me.

IF you were a fashion designer; your style I would be.
In materials beautiful, dress you would me.
Perhaps, then cling you would proudly to me.

IF a goldsmith you were; your dazzling creation, I would be.
Glittering with gold n diamonds, my beauty you would admiringly see.
Precious to you, I would most definitely be, kept under lock n key

Levels of oxygen in the atmosphere are decreasing;

Carbon dioxide, and other pollutants obviously increasing.

Trees being chopped off, its numbers are decreasing

Heat and pollution as a result, naturally is increasing.

Sweet water levels, ground water is drastically decreasing

Sea and ocean levels because of melting glaciers is increasing.

Our awareness, the will to grow trees is sadly decreasing;

Lord kind, why is man's indifference to these important life threatening situations increasing ???

Can our dear readers, please deeply react and reply.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Dearest Vispi,

Time flies, years pass, it's our 41st Roj anniversary today.

We have now turned fat, roly-poly, ugly and grey.

Now the spark in our eyes, dim Is becoming, day by day.

Happen what may, but our friendship n love is here to stay.

Thank you I do, for being a wonderful husband, what else do I say !

May we through thick and thin, good n bad, always together stay.

MAY AHURA BLESS US TODAY AND EVERY DAY.

Yours Anar.

PUNCH BAG

(A real story that still continues n is heart breaking. I have tried to portray it in just a few words).

Dread I, getting up every day;

A firing squad I face everyday.

How very scary n  strange it is;

But the firing never does cease.

Reason can be any, real, imaginary or weird;
It's consequences, I have always feared.

Strange it is; in childhood, with maturity I was treated.

In my years of maturity, like a punch bag, I am treated.

Lord how long will this last, I am absolutely tired.

Why is he always in an attack mode,  ired.

Destiny we write, so I have to myself blame.

Just help me O Ahura, to burn quietly in this flame.

Wait I for all my agonies to soon end.

Myself, I can no longer protect or defend.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Sadly seeds of discord in our life are often sown

And worse still, the ones who sow them are often our own

Why do they do so; upon this topic, I ponder and moan.

Lord Ram, to "vanvaas" was sent by Kaikei, who he thought was his own.

Krishna's mother was tortured, by her bro as in her womb he was sworn

Jealousy, ego, suspicion, hatred,  within us is often bottled up n by us grown

These vices create anger n a person is often by it, to pieces torn.

Remember if jealousy n suspicion us rule, a dangerous garb we have worn.

Discard these let us, from within us; n have love n understanding sown.

કવિ હૃદય


કલ્પનાઓ નો જીવતો જાગતો નમૂનો એટલે કવિ હૃદય

તરંગો માં, સંવેદનશીલ એનું હૃદય, સર્વદા મારતું હોય ગોટા

પરાયું સુખ જોઈ એ ઝૂમી ઉઠે
પરાયા દુઃખમાં થાય એ બહુ દુઃખી

એનું હૃદય છે કોમળ અને સંવેદનશીલ , બિલકુલ મીન જેવું.

કુદરત ના રંગોમાં એ ઢળી જાય, મૌસમમાં એ  ખોવાઈ જાય

નદી ની જેમ એની કલમ વહે, સાગર જેમ તરંગો ઉછળે

ઝીલ ની જેમ એ શાંત થાય ; તો કદી ઊંચા પહાડો પર ઉડે.

પ્રીતમ ની પ્રીત માં એ ડૂબી જાય, લોહીમાં કલમ ડુબાડી રચનાઓ રચે

કવિ હ્રદય નું શું કેહવુ, સૂર્યાસ્ત વેળા એ સાગર માં સમાય

તો પૂનમનો ચાંદ જોઈ એ ખીલી ઉઠે, એની કલ્પનાઓ ની જેમ

Armin Dutia Motashaw

"અનાર", દીલ સદા ખુલ્લું અને કોમળ રાખજે;

હાથ તારા, હંમેશા રહે ચોખ્ખા, કોઈનું કંઈપણ ઉપાડતી નહી કદી;

અને મન, મન રાખજે એવું, જે રહે હર ઘડી, હર પળ સ્વસ્થ અને મગન.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

पल दो पल का है सवाल

ईतना भी तू  मशरूफ न हो, के अपनोके लिए तेरे पास एक पल भी न हो

ऐसा न हो, जब सिधारेंगे वो स्वर्ग तब तुझे उनके लिए रोनेकी भी फुरसत न हो ।

जो रिश्तोंको एहमियत न दे, प्यार और सन्मान न दे, वो बहुत पछताता है ।

जो तुम्हारा अपना है, उसे थोडासा अपनापन दो, तुम्हारी एक कीमती पल दो

उसके दुखमे सांत्वना दो, बस पलभर हाथ थाम लो ।

पैसों का नाम आते ही रिश्तेदार और दोस्त, डर जाते हैं,

पैसे भले मत दो, सिर्फ दो हिम्मतभरी बातें तो करो ।

साथ निभाओ, जब साथकी जरूरत हो, इतना भि मशरूफ मत रहो।

HELP

Help me not to ever break down, help me to stand, struggle n fight;

Help me not to cave in, face difficulties, help me to follow the path right

Help me to patient be and help me to endeavor with all my might.

Help me to faithful be; faith waiver shouldn't, be it in darkness or light.

Help me stay in Your loving arms, O Ahura, everytime, day or night.

Help me to do all that is right, keeping You O Lord, in my sight

वतन हमारा

हमारे घर से फेंक दिया बाहर हमें;
सोचो जरा, हम कैसे माफ करें तुम्हे ।

खुद बन बैठे मेजबान; और फिरते हैं हम बनके बेघर, आवारा,
छोड़ कर वह जन्नत, था जो हमे, हमारे जान जीतना प्यारा ।

आप खुश हो के मना रहे हो, आपकी जीत;
और बच्चे हमारे, अपनी संस्कृति से है वंचित ।

जन्नत जैसा घर था हमारा, नैसर्गिक और बहुत प्यारा ।
आज तरस रहे हैं हम, लौटने के लिए वहां, दो बारा ।

हमारी स्थिति पे रो रहे हैं हम, पर आति नहीं तुम्हे दया ।
धरती हमारी छीनके, अब बनाओगे तुम यहां तुम्हारा आशिया ।

भूलना मत, यह माता है हमारी, कभी न बना पाओगे उसे तुम्हारी ।
भूलना नहीं, यह माता हमारी, है हमें, हमारे जान से भी प्यारी ।

उसकी चाह में, उसकी याद में, हम आज है बेकरार;
भले आज रोते हैं हम ज़ार ज़ार, लेे के रहेंगे हम उसे, फिर से एक बार ।

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY.

PLAN A CHILD TODAY.

Every child very precious is;

so Maayjis, think about this please.

It's these children who are our future bright

They are truly our life, our warm Sunlight.

Children we must have  to help ourselves n our clan.

Every Parsi couple should at least three plan.

Tenderly, lovingly bring them up we must

Children are for this clan, core n crust.

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY, PLAN A CHILD TODAY.

ONLY IF I

Only if I, a huge estate did own, many a varied seed I would have most definitely sown.

Veggies many, n fruits like mangoes, chickoos, gauvas, cherries luscious, I would definitely have grown

Drum sticks, lemon trees, aavla trees too; n flowers many, my  garden plants would surely adorn

Know l, a gardener's expense, very easily with these farm produce, could have been borne;

Without fail, grow I would peppermint, spearmint, lemon grass n of course lots of crunchy lettuce

I would, a cent percent, every inch of Mother Earth that belong would to me, put fully to  use.  

It is sad, very sad that millions of people, this beautiful Earth, so grossly, shabbily, ruthlessly abuse.

Just in case limited was the space, grow I would a garden vertical. Try, you guys too should; all together, please let us.

तेरे गुण

सुझे न क्या लिखूं, इस लिए बड़ी देर मैंने लगाई;

अब तक हाथ पकड़कर बहुत कविताएं तुने  लिखाई ;

पर ऐसी भी क्या रुसवाई, की खुद के लिए, कुछ न लिखवाया, ओ मेरे साईं ;

आखिर आज, तुने, खुद के लिए, मेरे हाथों से, एक  कविता है लिखवाई

कान्हा तो है नटखट; पर आप क्यों बन बैठेथे हरजाई, यह बात समझ में न आई ;

दुहाई हो दुहाई, मेरे साईं , अब आखिर, आज वो रात अायी;

जब तुने मेरे हाथो से, तेरे लिए, एक कविता लिखवाई।

एक प्रेम भारी रचना, जो तेरे लिए ही लिखी और है गाई ।

प्रेम  आदरभरे वंदन तुझे, ओ गुरु, ओ पिता, ओ साईं ।

खुश हूं आज मैं बहुत; आखिर तुने, तेरे लिए, मेरे हाथों से, एक कविता लिखवाई ।

गुण तेरे अपार, लिख नहीं पाउगी; परबत तु, मै हूं छोटिसी राई ।

तेरी महिमा अपरंपार, बया कर नहीं पाऊ; मुझमें प्रेम की अखंड ज्योत तुने है जलाई;

श्रृद्धा और सबूरी की, अनन्य ज्योति, मेरे जीवन में, तुने ही है जगाई ।

આં દીવા સાથે, મારા દિલનો દીવો બિ ઝલહલાઓ, મારા નાથ;

ભલે જગત પરાયું રહે, પણ રહે સદૈવ મને, તમારો સંગાથ

કરી મેહરબાની મુજપર, ઝાલી રાખજો આં નાતવાન હાથ

છે મને પણ ખબર ઓ મારા નાથ, કે હું નથી તમારો ઉત્તમ શિષ્ય પાર્થ;

તો પણ કરું છું અંતર મનથી વિનંતિ, ઝાલી રાખજો આં મારા હાથ.

O Ahura,
May I, by your principles, always abide.
Pray n practice Parsipanu alongside.
Through life n death, stay by my side;
And always be my advisor n guide.

Aedoon baad.
Armin Dutia Motashaw

ON YOUR 13TH BAAJ

Mum Darling,
May Ahura always keep you in His loving arms.

He too, I am sure, must be enamoured by your many charms.

So loving, caring, how very sacrifing you always were.

Our true wealth, our treasure you were, our darling Jer.

Miss you very much we do, but live you are in our heart.

Of our lives, of this family, you will always be a part.

May you attain Goarathman behesht; our angel sweet.

Once again to dwell with you up there, will be a treat.

With your many virtues, you were a living angel, without wings.

Waiting to see you; To meet you n be cuddled in your arms loving.

REMEMBER

Let ego, wealth, differences, into a relationship, come not

Into these, followed by a verbal war, do not get caught

Difficult very it is, to re-establish relations, once you have fought

very dangerous is this web; into it, do not ever get caught.

Remember, our relationships  cannot be, with money bought.

They are as vital as oxygen, with care great, them we must sought.
