JUST IMAGINE

There is no
need to be under the effect of any drink; Whiskey or gin;

Can you just close your two beautiful eyes and this situation imagine;

Surrounded you are by greenery; an orchard where grow fruits, flowers and vegetables

Filled with this fresh, hand picked fruits and veggies, is your kitchen table.

In every corner, or on centre  tables of the house, your home , there are fresh, sweet smelling flowers!

Sincerely, if this, in reality can happen; I wouldn't mind imagining this; daydreaming of this, for hours!!!

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.

ઉંમર નો તકાજો

યાદશકિત ધીરે ધીરે ઓસરી રહિ છે,
સહનશક્તિ પણ એજ રીતે ઓસરી રહી છે;

ન જાણે હું કેટકેટલું વિસરી રહી છું,
પણ જે વિસરાવું જોઇયે, તે ક્યાં વિસરી રહી છું?

ઉંમર પોતાનો તકાજો કરે છે; તો પણ હું શા કાજ ખટાશમાં મિસરી નાખી રહી છું!

જીવનમાં બેબસ્તા,  એક કડવાશ સતત આવતો જાય છે, શું એને ઘટાડવા  મીસરી કામ આવશે?

શરીરના દરેક અવ્યયમાં દુઃખદર્દ વધી રહ્યાં છે; કામ કરતી નથી કોઇ ઔષદી, કોઇ જીવન કેસરી

માલિક, શું જીવન એક ઘુવડ બની વિતાવવું પડશે ખૂણે બેસી એક; ચપળતા વિસરી?

MOTHERS

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.

COARSE OR FINE

Coarse do not be; try and be fine.

Only then, like gold you will shine.

Your character, your finesse must define.

Build a character strong, like a straight line.

Won't try this many will; but hopefully will, one from ninety nine.

If you try to build it, the results will be fine.

At least, this constantly will be an endeavour of mine.

LORD MINE

I have no right to interfere in Your divine judgment,  know this I well;

But saddened I am with things going around; n tears swell

Death, disaster, ****, loot, cheating, injustice, all around us  dwell

Sadly, complaints of injustice have only on deaf ears fell.

People are troubled; specially **** victims are going through hell

Lord, request  You desperately I, please their troubles quell.

Know I,  and intend not to interfere,  but  my heart burns n You, this I tell.

હસતું રમતું જીવન, લાગવા માંડ્યું છે એક ભારી ભરખમ બોજ

ચાલી ગયો નીલ ગગનમાં, મને એકલી મૂકીને, દૂર કહીંક, મારો એ દિલસોઝ

ભીડમાં એકલવાયું જીવન થઈ ગયું છે; ભરી મહેફિલમાં અંધારું છવાયું છે

આપણે જે ગીત બીજાઓ માટે ગાતાં, તે આજે આપણે માટે ગવાયું છે

"ઓ નીલ ગગનના પંખેરુ તું કાં ન પાછો આવે....... મને તારી યાદ સતાવે....."

તું કેવો છે, ક્યાં છે, કોઈ તો મને અણસારો આપે, કાંઈક તો બતાવે.

BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE....

An appeal to all seers, please act before it's too late,

We have almost already reached a deadly state

Let us try to once again, for the better, change our fate.

Harm great and unrepairable caused we have, to Mother Nature

By trying to to prove our importance n increase our stature.

Let's once again grow trees, n try to Her, lovingly n carefully nurture.

Let's start, with each human planting at least a few trees,

Soon there will be shade; n flowers and fruits will increase

Once again blow in will cold breeze, n this scorching heat will decrease.

Water levels improve will; n flora fauna flourish will.

If authorities, industrialists, soldiers, the rich pitch in willingly will.

Nature is kind benevolent, all giving and very fair.

Understanding, volunteering will help us to our mistake repair.

Once again She will Her kindness show, rich dividends we will bear.

ओ कन्हाई मोरे, बाजे जब मुरलियां तोरी,

दौड़े आए गोप गोपियां, और राधा गोरी गोरी;

जन्मों जनमसे, युग युग से, है यह राधिका तो बस तोरी !

This torturing nightmare seems to last a bit too long;

In my dream, I yearn to sing once again, yet haven't sung a song

Wake up I wish to afresh, like before, when goes the morning gong.

I ask myself, is this stark reality or is this a horrid dream?

In a state of denial am
I; or is it a situation grim?

All I can say is, my eyes n heart are still searching him

A secret longing there is, to him n Mom again see

To accept a departure permanent, easy isn't; knew this even he.

So many dear ones, to help, many different opinions give me;

But absolutely confused are, my heart n so is my blurry mind;

a constant conflict goes on; I really need to accept n unwind

Help I need, help I seek, can you, a helpful person please find.

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.

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।

CORRECT ME NOT

If people us often correct, even for our own betterment, we like it not

Like it we not, because it addresses our pride and ego; or it touches  a soft spot

In annoyance, due to this stubbornness or ego, we are in a web caught

Instead, take this if we, as a well intended, genuine correction, as a  lesson taught;

Help us it will to forge ahead; so pamper your ego n pride, please do not

Both aspects, well considered should be, so let our ego keep correcting others not

Dump let us our ire, ego, jealousy, suspicious behaviour into a big ***;

Seal it for ever and ever, bury it deep in the soil; to again open it  not.

हे सिद्धार्थ,

एक परिंदे को बचाने लड़ गया था तू अपने भाई से,

जीत लिया था दिल सबका अपनी दया और  भलाई से

प्रेम का संदेश था तेरा अती गहरा, डूब गया उसमे जग सारा

कर गया जग को उजागर रानी मायावती का  दुलारा ।

आज जग में फिर से शांती फैलाने आजा एकबार

सख्त जरुरत है यहा, इस धरा को शांती और प्यार (की)।

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 ।

🌈🌈🌈 आजा, होली आइ

भाए पिया मोहे बहुत सारे होली के रंग; इंद्रधनुष के, जैसे नीले, पीले, केसरी और लाल

पर भाए अधिक मोहे हरा और लाल, और उससे ज्यादा, सबसे प्यारा लगे मोहे गुलाल

चुनरिया अब मोरी कोरी है, तू रंगबे रंगी रंगो से भर दे उसे; रंग दे उसे लाल

कान्हा होली खेलने आ भी जा, इतना न तरसा मोहे; असवन से भर गए हैं मोरे गोरे गोरे गाल।

मीरा तरसे, राधिका तड़पे, गोपियों की अखियों से जल बरसे; मोहन, बुरा है हमरा हाल ।

तुझ बीन वृंदावन सूना, तेरे चरण  स्पर्श करने के लिए जमुना का नीर अधीर, बुला रही है तुझे अनार, और कदमकी की हर
डाल

जो इस साल भी आ सके न तू, तो किसिके हाथ चुटकी भर रंग भिजवाना, हे घनश्याम, हओ मेरे गोपाल।

दिल की पुकार

डरती हूं, पत्थर न बन जाए यह मेरा मोम जैसा दिल

तनहाई और दुख सेह कर हालात बन गए हैं जटिल

प्यार बिना, यह तनहाई बना न दे मुझे बेदिल

सुना है, बिना माया और प्यार के, बनते हैं कातिल

जिंदगी में आगे क्या लिखा है, जानता नहीं कोई

पर हर किसीने है, आशाएं और तम्मनाए संजोई

सुरीले सपनों की एक हसीन दुनिया है बोई

जो मिटने को है, यह देख कर, मैं मोती जैसे आंसु रोई !!!

जब अमावसया का अंधेरा छा रहा है चहू ओर ;

चांद को छुपा दे ऐसे काले बादल, छाए है घनघोर

जब आंधी तूफ़ान मचा रहे हैं जोर जोर से शोर

तब क्या करे यह दिया; उसमे कहां इतना जोर ?

उसे न घमंड है न किसी भी बात का है गुरूर ।

क्या तु मदद करेगा; या देखेगा तमाशा बैठ के दूर

क्या अभी भी चुप रहेगा तु; या भेजेगा कोई हुर

पुकारती हूं आपको तहे दिलसे, ऐ मेरे हुजूर

O Ahura,  what a setback there  is in my mission !

So that in ample use it we can; and happily live.

In happiness or sorrow, your shoulder n lap, I could anytime borrow.

Now find  cannot I someone who can share my loneliness or sorrow.

In weather bad, you took me protectively under your wings.

Depend on you I could, for just about any thing.

For me, you were always there, to count on.

Helpless n lonely I feel, after you have gone.

My darling Sunflower, happy always may you, in heaven remain.

Until we in Heaven meet; from up there, help me to bear the pain.

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.

MIND YOUR LANGUAGE

To swear and curse, or shout loudly, easy is.

Difficult very it is to say thank you, sorry and please.

But a lil self-control can help us a great deal.

As children learn what they see, think and feel.

Careful we must be, with our words and actions

If pick our  language up, our children; we will hear... Interjections.

So mind our language let us, for our Childrens sake.

Or suffer along with them we will,  a severe heart ache.

गिर रही थी मै सिडियोसे, दिख रही थी मुझे एक गंदी खाई

फिरसे ऊपर चढ़ना जब लगा नामुमकिन, और मैं थी घबराई

तब अचानक, पलभरमे उठा लिया मुझे किसीने; वो थे मेरे साई

खड़े होकर जब देखा ऊपर, तो मुस्कुरा रहे थे मेरे साई

THE BEE N BUNNY

There was this Bindas bunny,

Who was actually quite funny.

He with his bee friend, made honey;

Decided they to sell it n make some money.

Together with BEELICIOUS bee,

Who was really teenie ****** n wee;

They went to an office  see.

See how they could sell it to you n me.

Found they a beautiful lush green spot;

And opened they, their office on the dot.

BEELICIOUS bee, more n more honey brought.

Taught him Bindas Bunny, how to account n jot.

Came evening, n had they lots of money;

Because sold they had, all their honey.

Now BEELICIOUS bee stung Bindas Bunny;

And ran away with all the collected money.

Oh said Bindas Bunny, "this is definitely not funny".

🤵🏻‍♀️🤵‍♀️ शक्ति

ऐसे तो कहते है औरत को शक्ति, पर सच में मानते नहीं, देते नहीं उसे सम्मान ।

बहुत से मर्द, उसी शक्ति के उपर, शक्ति जताना, समझते है अपनी शान ।

औरत की सुंदरता पर, वही, शक्ति की युवानी पर, खो देते हैं अपना आपा और ईमान ।

कभी कभी तो बन के दानव, उसे छिनभीन करने के बाद, ले लेते है उसकी जान।

औरत कहो, या नाम दो उसे शक्ति, उसकी मासूमतामें ही, बसती है उसकी इज्जत और आन।

हर लड़की को आदर से देखने का, उसे सम्मान देने का, हर मर्द को भगवान से मिला है फरमान ।

हे शिव पार्वती, आज विमेन्स डे और शिवरात्रि पर, हर शक्श को, हर स्त्री की सुरक्षा करनेका देना वरदान ।

उड़ान

मन की उड़ान को रोक न पाऊं,

तेरे बिना जाऊ तो कहां जाऊं

मन मंदिर में बसाया तुझे जो एक बार;

वहां से निकाल न पाऊं; कोशिश की बार बार

ह्रदयमें मेरे, जो बसी है मुहरत उसे निकाल न पाऊं

तेरी प्रीत है जीवन मेरा, जाऊ तो कहां जाऊं ।

दिल में बसे हो, मन में बसे हो, आंखो में बसे हो

कभी तो, मेरी रोती हुई आंखो से, मोती बनके हसे हो ।

कण कणमें समाए हो, दूर कैसे रहूं आपसे ;

प्यार कहां किया जाता है तोल के, माप के ;

सपनों के पंख होते हैं, बेहतरीन, बड़े रंगीन ;

पर वास्तविकता होती है कठोर, बड़ी संगीन ।

उड़ान भर ले लम्बी, तु चाहे जितनी ;

वास्तविकता कठिन होती है  उतनी ही ।

मीरा हो या राधा, कृष्ण बसे है उनके तन मन में

दुनिया लूटा दी अपनी उन्होंने; लीन हो गए मनमोहन में ।

PUPPY OF MINE

Happy very I would be, if I had you, in real, little one.

Loving caring you are, just like a daughter or  son

To have you frisking, jumping would be sheer fun

Unconditional love from you is much more than a ton(or gold)

Your faithfulness n love cannot be compared with anyone .

Rich I wish to become,  because I want to possess a PUPPY, sweet one.

My Lord, ask You a question, I wish to, today;

Like men,why do You also sometimes Nature flay?

Humans chop off trees, so very many everyday

But can You kindly, not keep these storms at bay?

One storm, and trees many uprooted are from the clay

Your kindness n compassion, pl. spread around, all the way.

Protect our Earth and all of us, each n every day.

Without Your intervention, people, ruthlessly,
trees will slay.

We, forget, here on this very Earth, our progeny will stay.

Bless us with wisdom, so that protect we Nature n a penalty not pay.

NAVROZE  MUBARAK

Bawajis want to eat, drink and be merry

But I wish they would also like to Humdins marry

Enjoy we the ****** of our glasses and to say cheers

But our lifestyle will soon bring our destruction n tears.

Our focus is on food ours, biryanis, machhi n dhansaak

Unconcerned we are about that impending doom, that shark !!

Nothing wrong there is in merriment but overpower us it shouldn't ;

That's why this awakening signal,  this bell of  alarm stop I  couldn't !

Wake up,  shake up, to your duties fulfill, rise and  shine

Think of producing  Bawa babies whilst you enjoy,  wine n dine.

Good luck.

LORD O LORD

Listen to my plea meek, but my fervent prayer my Lord;

Moving these days You know, is life, at the speed of a concord

Help me to live at my space, with self respect, on my own accord

People, their advise keep giving n those even wish to  record

To my grief overcome, and to smile once again, please help me.

Let me in everything, in all circumstances n situations all, positivity see.

Most difficult it is, to forget those memories close to my heart, which are a part of me

Help me O my kind Lord Ahura, with all my heart, listen to my desperate plea.

THINK

How very commercial has become this world, changed have roles

Advertisement for foods are preferred over food for our souls

The community has lost its values high, its real "aatash", its fire

And sadly Bawal is preferred over Sandal wood for Padshah's fire

Lower values when n if promoted over higher ones, worries cause.

Please think about this; before you go ahead, please do pause.

Feed the fire of thought, let us; the holy Padshahs, some Sandal need

We should not, all the time, them, only " kathi" (bawal) feed.

Food to grow is necessary, but important is also, food for our brain n heart

Let us promote our higher selves, feeding the values high, of our curriculum should be a part.

MANGO

Salute you I do; "O Shenshah o ke  Shenshah";

Mango, king of all fruits, tastiest is,  hence a Shenshah;

Delicious, sweet, mouthwatering, like sheer nectar you taste.

There is hardly a part of you that is utilized not, or is a waste.

The pulp of course is undoubtedly the best, as compared to the rest .

Wonderful are your  jams, sweets, candies; n "aam ras" definitely is the best.

In season this,  not to be able to eat you, feels like a grave grave sin.

The seed, beneath the cover hard, is excellent medicine;

O Mango,  your skin, cows, goats, buffaloes happily devour.

Eating you whilst still green is real fun, with salt n chillies...tangy n sour;

Mouthwatering is that taste; "baafla" also very healthy is.

Will you folks collect mango seeds n sow them pleeeeeeease.

For very easily lure me  in just a seconds few,  you could

Ah! I do not know why n what lures me to you; my eyes get glued

Bright n silvery you look on a full-Moon day, enchanting is the sight

As peep out of the clouds you do, playing hide n seek, at that height

O Moon, await I eagerly to see you; n your beauty admire every night

Romance fills the atmosphere as you beautifully rise in all your glory full

Smiling sweetly at me, peeping from silvery white clouds, look which, like wool

From a hammock, amidst trees admire you, as you lull me to sleep with breeze cool

Wish mankind wouldn't dispose your truth n the enigma that you hold

Though, to land on you, to conquer you, was a step scientific, very bold;

I still want you to be the enchantress that you are, luring me, not just material cold

INFECTIOUS

In a *** small, I planted some
" Methi seeds"

Watered them I did, those little brown beads.

Eagerly awaited I; to see results, I was keen

Soon they sprouted n I saw stalks green;

With happiness, pounding was my heart.

For, of this process, I was actually a part.

Prompted me this, to do gardening more.

Wished I to increase n better my score;

So planted I some corriander n ginger  too.

Added a "curry patta" plant; now I had work to do.

Infectious this became, people followed me.

My neighbors also did plant; now green we see;

Pray I, may this infection spread out wide.

May this Earth soon look like a bride.

નાની છે આં કહાણી

રાજા ને ગમે તે રાણી

ગમી એને એક મહેતરણી

વરી હતી એ  કાની

પણ બહુ મધુર હતી એની વાણી

અને હતી એ જ્ઞાની

એટલે બનાવી રાજાએ તેને રાણી.

GRATITUDE

Too many complaints, desires, wants n wishes in one's heart are in;

Sorry about this, but it's only You, in whom one can confide in.

Please, O Ahura, throw them away do not, in a dustbin.

Most people  luxuries, cars, homes wish; some for it, even sin

Smokers for smoke, n drunkards request for whiskey, wine, beer or gin.

Worry You, people do, until the end, till they land in a coffin.

Request You  I, only peace of mind for me and all my kin.
