HAPPY BIRTHDAY NETAJI

Lucky was India to have great leaders, when she was for her independence struggling

It was an era when Her worthy sons, for their Mother, their Bharat Mata were struggling hard

Encouraged many youth Subhash did; requesting them, to join him in the movement

Asked them he to sacrifice their all, to attain this much needed independence

Let's learn this dedication from Netaji n pray Bharat Mata is blessed with many more such worthy sons.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NETAJI

દૃષ્ટિકોણ

દૃષ્ટિકોણ તારું જ સાચું છે, એવુ ન માન.

કોશિશ કર જરા; બીજાનું બી જાણ.

ઉતાવળો ના થા, શાંતિ થી વિચાર

જરા બદલી ને તો જો, તારા આચાર વિચાર.

HAPPY UTTARAYAN

Wishing you I am, in advance;
Because miss I do not wish to this chance.

With til-gud ladus, undhiyu n jelebi please do celebrate.
Also, different coloured and shaped kites do create.

Festivals are fun, so endanger yourselves do not.
In kite-strings do not get entangled or caught.

Life is very precious; please do take good care.
And this poem, with your beloveds, please share.

Birds like humans; victims, easily become.
Throats get slit; that's why, It's imperative, to take care some.

Enjoy we must, and traditions follow too;
If care taken is, whilst doing so, we won't have to rue.

MAGIC OF LOVE

After watching a heartwarming clip;
Gladdened I am, sweetly very,  smiled my lips.

An innocent child love so much, can bring.
Bells of joyfulness, glee n warmth in our hearts ring.

Even an unhappy  heart so relaxed feels.
Helps me this innocent embrace a great deal.

"God dwells in innocence"; this is so true.
This is the best way, to happinessssss brew.

JAMSHEDJI TATA

Revered Sir,

Truly a man with a long foresight great you were;

The entire Parsi community is really proud of you, Sir .

A great human n a patriotic son of Mother India, you were.

After your meeting with Vivekananda, you knew how to serve Her.

May your memory live on for centuries many, dear Sir.

Happy Birthday

Armin Dutia Motashaw

May our lives be full of beautiful roses

Scattered in between with colourful poses;

May this sweet scent fill out noses.

Filled with joy; and laughter filled doses.

Most importantly may God grant us the wisdom of Moses.

જાદુગર

દિલ જીતી લીધું તે, પળ ભરમાં, આં તે કેવી રીતે કરી બતાવ્યું ?

એને માટે, કરી નહિ કોઈ માવજત, ના કોઈ બીજી રીતે જતાવ્યું.

પણ આંખોમાં તારી હશે જાદુ , નહિ તો મારું દિલ કઇ રીતે જીતી લીધું.

ક્ષણ એક, તરંગો અનેક, પોતાનું હતું જે, એ તને, વિના મોલ દઈ દીધું.

જોજે ઓ જાદુગર, આં નથી તારો કોઈ અનોખો ખેલ, ચલાવતો ના ચાબુક

આં છે મારું જીવતું જાગતું, ધડકતું દિલ, આશાઓ થી ભરેલું નાજુક.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

તડપ

તડપ મારા દિલ ની, કદી ન તે જાણી.

આંખો વાંચી ન શક્યો તું;  બોલાઈ ન મારાથી વાણી

દિલ થઈ ગયું તારું; હું પોતે બની ગઈ એક અણજાણી.

આં દિલ પીસાઈ ગયું; આં દુનિયાં છે એક ઘાણી.

મારું દિલ થઈ ગયું પરાયું, પહોંચી એને હાની.

તે શું, તડપ મારા દિલની, કોઈએ કદી ન જાણી.

O SEEKER

"Anar", very often, ignorant we are, but zest if we have to seek;

With all our heart, try we must; it shouldn't be an attempt weak;

Endeavour to achieve this, we got to; constantly, bit by bit, week after week.

O seeker, go ahead full fledgedly, dive deep, only then find you will that pearl, you seek.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

HELP ME HEAL

Memories painful and sad, I need to forget.

Help me to do so, O Mazda.

All the bitterness and stress, out of my system should get.

Help me to do so, O Mazda.

The searing pain of separation from loved ones; You must help to heal.

Help me to do so, O Mazda.

For all the negativity to vanish n positivity to experience, I appeal.

Help me to do so, O Mazda.

Peace and happiness I seek,  help me to them attain.

Help me to do so, O Mazda.

Helpful to mankind, I wish to be; my writing n singing I wish to maintain.

Help me to do so, O Mazda.

May my faith, waiver never. Pardon me if I question You.

Help me to do so, O Mazda.

Like a child, cross with You I may get. Pamper me, please do.

Help me to do so, O Mazda.

SILENCE

He loved her most dearly, but couldn't ever, so say;

Afraid he was, just incase she would say, " nay."

So all his love for her, within his heart lay.

And unfortunately, all life long, there it was to stay.

Before those words magical utter he could; only ashes there lay.

She was someone's bride, so utter them he couldn't, happen what may!!!

Sadly he lost his love, on that fateful, horrible day;

Thereafter silence prevailed, there was no more to say!!!

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Cry when I, it lightens my heart.
Of this heart,  sorrow is now a part.

Then think I, is it alright to cry?
It's better, if your tears, you dry.

And use this very time, to some needy's tears wipe.
This help will me n him, to a new poem type.

When help I a needy, joy fills my heart.
Now joy, not tears, are of my heart, a part.

AAREY GREENS

O seers, o administrators.... Please do not be selfish n mean.

Destroy do not, this most precious n important little piece of green

This is the green that gives the much required oxygen pure n  clean

This is the place men, animals, birds love; because it is serene.

On watching Sam Bahadur... (reminds me what I had written on 03 April 2021 for him)

MY WAR HERO

A man of courage and wit, forthright, fearless, indeed very brave

Tackle n handle easily he could, situations important n very grave.

His subordinates many, adored him; because, to pressure he did not cave

This Hero, towards the road to victory against Pakistan, India did pave

A soldier to the core, to fight Her enemies, he was always at the fore

Noble towards the defeated, he treated them well, goes the folks lore.

Undaunted he stood upright even when people in possession, tried to settle a score

Their shameful behavior he tolerated; for he was a soldier to the core.

When APJ visited him at the hospital, and helped solve the salary difference or dispute

Sam regretted, he couldn't, the President of India salute

Charmed he many, including APJ, with his  behavior peculiar n  astute

Sam, may Ahura bless you and keep you in His loving arms, is my prayer mute.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

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.

Brother Dearest,

Happy Raksha Bandhan

Tiny beads n delicate strings, yet very strong is the bond.

Tells a sister to her Bro. With this, " of you, I am very fond".

With good wishes beautiful n many, she ties it on his wrist.

Kumkum, rice, flowers, feeding a sweet, indeed long is the list.

A beautiful gesture of appreciation n love,  festival is.

It's practice centuries old, rather thousands of years old is.

May all my brothers alwaysssss very happy stay

Wish you all I do, happy Raksha Bandhan Day.

Your Ever Loving Sis

HELP ME IN MY ENDEAVOUR

O Ahura, wish I to do things so many;
All good n useful, nothing evil or uncanny.
Help me please, in my endeavour.

Greenery I wish to urgently increase,
Plant I wish to, many many trees.
Help me please, in my endeavour.

Sweet water rare is, precious very too;
To save water, to harness it, is all I want to do.
Help me please, in my endeavour.

Our religion threatened is from inside, outside, people are losing reverence;
Wish I, request I, Your divine intervention n interference.
Help me please, in my endeavour.

People, commercial very have become today;
With love, care n understanding, I wish they stay.
Help me please, in my endeavour.

My feelings n thoughts, love I to put on paper;
Lord kind, if You hold my hand, it'll be a lot safer.
Help me please, in my endeavour.

Love, friendship, relationship bonds, are strong;
Value them dearly I do; with mine, may nothing ever go wrong.
Help me please, in my endeavour.

Music is really divine; sweetly, I wish to sing.
O Din Yazad, music in my life, please bring.
Help me please, in my endeavour.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Very selfish is man, loves he to pamper his own ego & it inflate;

Cares he doesn't about the poor, about animals; isn't this a sad state???

Request him to educate at least 1 poor child; or in his own kids, values inculcate;

But to this do, bother he will not; why change someone else's fate; why not, my own!!!

When this reality we see,  remember, good, healthy seeds, we haven't sown !

Instead our ego we have pampered, satiated & it, out of proportion streched; & overblown.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

SALUTE TO EVERY SHAHEED

Wrapped in the Tri colour, in a coffin they come.

Even come do not, the physical bodies of some.

Their widows, for their children n parents sake stays mum.

But the pain one can see in their eyes, with tears some.

Have words I do not to laud your supreme sacrifice.

Fight you bravely in burning sands, or Siyachin's freezing ice.

For your valour, n bravery, your family pays a heavy price.

Sadly, callously take your sacrifice for granted some.

O Shaheed, I salute you with all my heart, today n everyday.

You are the ones with courage, who keep the enemy at bay.

Facing them bravely even when ruthlessly torcher you they.

May God grant your families the courage, whilst in heaven you stay.

JAI HIND.
JAI HIND KI SENA.

On this auspicious day of  Her becoming a Republic....

BHARAT MATA DESIRES

Our Bharat Mata, today requests; and Her children cajoles, to truly love Her.

Wondering, from their sleep, their siesta,  indifference, when will they rise n stir !

Ages of attacks n conquests have tired Her, now our solace She seeks.

She asks Her soldiers n leaders to truly love Her; and not become meek.

Awaiting eagerly She is for Her children  to love Her;  waiting for that truly happy morn.

Wishes She another  Gandhi, Shastri, Dadabhoy, Bhagatsingh n Patriots many be  born.

Desires She that correct n clean up they,  all the  mess; all that has sadly gone wrong.

Desires She, that all Her administrator sons, become honest n strong;

That for Her, they, a great name in  the current times earn, is Her burning desire.

Can all the leaders, big n small by their deeds n actions everyone else aspire.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

You definitely are my favorite BAWA, my dearest hubby, Vispi.

Glad I am, you have no vices, no smoking, no whiskey;

For most Bawas and Banoos enjoy" having a chuski".

Angry I get when you tease me n others; behaving like Miya Fuski.

But proud I am, when you are ready for me, to do a "Kushti"

May Ahura keep you happy n healthy n full of " Tofaan-Masti".

Thank you ever so much for loving me, your wifey.

KEEP ME SANE

People insane, worries have none, that's why, in a way, happy are those insane.

But their dear ones suffer, are  embarrassed often; n undergo a lot of searing pain,

So, for the sake of my dear ones, in spite of my pain, please keep me sane.

All around there is chaos n politics *****,
Amidst all this muck, keep me sane.

Selfishness there is all around, saddens me this; yet amidst all this, keep me sane.

Some times disgusted I feel to see what's going around, o help me; keep me sane.

Lord your Earth is teeming with monsters,  amidst these difficulties,  keep me sane.

To see our beautiful religion declining is disheartening, help us, keep us sane

Extremists, terrorists, corrupt politicians are this Earth ruining,  help me remain sane.

Greenery destroys insane humans, Nature weeps; how do I remain sane ?

Sometimes I wish I was heartless, I wouldn't have to undergo pain, help me remain sane.

Help the devil within us die, grant us wisdom,  please Lord, help me to remain sane.

भरम

बस एक झलक पाते ही, आपके ख़यालो में हो गए मशरूफ;

सपनों की दुनिया में खो गए; और यहां से शुरू हुई तकलीफ़

देखा जो आपको, अपने ही दिल के हाथो, हो गए मजबूर

इश्क़ के हाथो बिक गए;  आप के नाम से जुड़ कर, होना था मशहूर ।

पर आंख खुली तो समझ में आया, यह था एक जूठ, एक भरम

समझाया अपने आप को,  शायद ऐसे अच्छे नहीं थे हमारे करम

इसी लिए बन के हम आंधी और तूफान से अनजान;

बिना समझे, जला दिया एक दीया आंधी में; जगा लिया दिल में तूफान

जीवन भर डोलेगी नैया, मिलेगा नहीं कभी साहिल

डूब जाएगी यह कश्ती, गहरी है झील; मिलेगी नहीं कभिभी मंज़िल ।

મારી મા નું આંચલ

કેવી મીઠી નીંદર આવતી હતી મને, ઓ મા, તારા ખોળે, તારા આંચલમાં

દુનિયાની મને કોઈ પરવાહ કે ફિકર ન હતી, તારા પ્રેમાળ આંચલમાં

તારો સુરીલો કંઠ સુવડાવતો હતો મને, ગાયી લોરી, મીઠી મમતા હતી એ કંઠમાં

મારુ નામ પુકારતી, ત્યારે ટહુકો હતો કોયલ જેવો મીઠો, તારા સુરીલા કંઠમાં

ખવડાવતી પ્રેમથી, તારા હાથનો સ્વાદ હજી હું વાગોલું છું મનમાં મારા

હૂંફ હતી તારા હાથની બેશુમાર; દિવસ રાત આર્શીવાદ આપતા એ, માથે મારા

આંચલ તારું, લાગે વહાલું મને, પ્રેમથી ભરપૂર, તારો સુવાસ છુપાયો છે એમાં

ઘરની હર નાની મોટી ચીજ યાદ અપાવે તારી, જાણે વસી હોય તું એમાં.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEARL

Mom n Dad searched the entire shore
Then, found they, lil Pearl, within the core.

Terrific she is on the dance floor.
And high is her score.

May Ahura bless you, lil one, more n more.
Open for you may every opportunity's door.
Luv Ya

જ્યારે જ્યારે પડે મને જરૂર તારી ઓ ખુદા, હાથ પકડજે મારો

જ્યારે જ્યારે હું માર્ગથી ભટકું ત્યારે આંગળી ચીંધીજે, બનજે સહારો મારો

અવગુણ છે મુજમાં અસંખ્ય, દેખી ના શકું તો દૂર કરજે ભ્રમ મારો

ઘુંચવાઈ જાવું છું, નજર થાય કમજોર ત્યારે ત્યારે, બનજે માર્ગદર્શક મારો

ડગમગી જાય જો શ્રદ્ધા ક્યારે, તો પળભરમાં પાછો જગાડજે વિશ્વાસ મારો

આખો વખત માંગ્યા કારવાની આં કુટેવ પડી ગઈ છે મુઝને, આપવાનો સદગુણ કેળવજે મારો

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

A TAX PAYER'S WOES

Right from our birth to death, we keep paying tax;

As shown below, from tip to toe, we pay tax

Even on free, God given things, we pay tax

The rich n d ultra rich dodge taxes; but we have to pay a tax

The poor have not money, so they benefit, from our tax

The politicians; ah! live like leeches on our tax;

But an ordinary salaried man, helplessly keeps paying tax.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

PUPPETS ON A STRING

We are worse than puppets on a string, at least feelings they have not

Thank God, in emotional turbulences or sentiments they are caught not.

We puppets, dance to Your tunes O Lord, our wishes to You, matter not

Impossible it is for us to fulfill our dreams; unless You wish, we dare not!

Decide You, our birth, death, illnesses, marriage, love, kids, success, what not!

In fact, even the reason for our birth, of its very purpose, we are aware not

Ask You I, answer me please; why are You so secretive, this mystery I know not

To surrender unto You, from childhood we are taught, then why these desires; I know not.

The individual purpose of our birth, of these puppets, understand we will not.

Sadly, millions of puppets, continuously dancing on Your string, stop will not.

बिरहा की वेदना

कातिल होती है बिरह की वेदना,

बड़ी ही दर्दनाक है यह संवेदना ।

प्रेम प्यासी तरसे, अखियों से बादल बरसे ,

तेरे दर्शन हुए, बीत गए हैं अरसे ।

चंदा जब निकलता है बादलओ की ओट से,

चली आती है याद तुम्हारी, पहाड़ियों की चोट से

कातिल होती है बिरहा की वेदना

समझेगा न कोई, मेरी संवेदना

Dedicated to all my darling Doggies

You are indeed, Man's most faithful friend.

Love him unconditionally you do, till your end.

Loving him n protectig him at every bend.

From foes, thieves, you him always fend;

Just by feeding you, he tries to make an amend;

But actually humans need to their ways mend;

And to your needs, carefully n more lovingly tend.

Thank you ever so much, for being man's best friend.

खुशी

आखिर कहां छुपी है तु; थक गया हूं तुझे ढूढते ढूढते, ऐ खुशी।

बस्ती थी पहले हमेशा मेरे दिल में, अब बस है जहां उदासी, खामोशी ।

काश हर दिल में हमेशा बसे शांति, प्रसंता और तु, आे खुशी ।

A PRAYER OF MOST PARENTS

O Kind Lord, have pity on us, we know YOU are very kind.

Proper words to my feelings express, I cannot find.

Let me, for my children, a burden be not.

Grant me mobility, and a nature good; not a temper hot.

The strength to understanding n adjustable be.

A sense n ability to another's view point see.

May my Children n Grandchildren always love me.

Lord, When the end is near, stand besides me.

REKINDLE

Rekindle that lost faith in us,  O Ahura Mazda kind.

Please help; into our religious fabric, us strongly bind.

Help us, especially our children, to firm faith in You find.

Today life is difficult,  busy very, it's a never ending grind.

People some, towards us, are often rude, selfish n unkind.

In the rat race, some try to forge forward, leaving us  behind.

Then wavers this belief in prayers, the young change their mind.

Perhaps our faith is not strong enough, or we have a weak mind.

Rekindle this much required faith in us O Mazda kind.

Into our beautiful religious fabric, help us to weave and bind .

Aedoon Baad.

Drink do not,
like a fish, but drink like a bird, with his beak.
Smoke do not, like a chimney, a  puff once in a way, you can occasionally pick.
Eat do not, like a pig,
Put on weight like an elee, you will n your knees will creak.

I am not asking you, to refrain from everything; or to be a health freak.
But also don't eat n drink, like there is no tomorrow,
moderations seek.
Moderations in all the spheres of life, will make you like a god-greek.

Happy Birthday Tehmi Mummy ( Roj Gosh, Mah Dae)

It's thirty years you left; it's been long, of your lap, I am bereft;

Snuggle I would, from right or left; to reach, I had developed a deft.

Time matters not where love exists, for love is beyond time;

That's why Mom, failed death has, to separate our bond, so strong.

Safely in Heaven may you live forever; in Ahura's loving arms;

Progress may your Ravan under the guidance of our Yazads

We love you and miss you; but wish Dad n you happiness n peace.

STAY HAPPY, STAY BLESSED

Keep it intact, feed it with tender loving care

SO SAYETH....

SO SAYETH....

So says a  tree, "Chop me off please do not"

In the web of cement jungles, do not get caught .

To live on,  many storms I have continuously fought

Remember, many things to humanity I have gifted n taught.

Breathless Children to the hospitals will be brought;

If chop off trees you will, oxygen will have to be bought.

Water shortage acute will become n diseases increase will, in a draught.

Grow  trees, chop them off please do not.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Sometimes, animals us important things teach.

Unlike men, they practice what they preach;

Neither like men,  they don't expect to become rich

Think of a monkey, who closes taps, to water save.

A dog, for his master willingly his life gave.

Chetak risked his own life to his master save.

Many fight men's enemies and are really brave.

પાણી તો આગ બુઝાવે, પણ આં વર્ષા તો આગ લગાડે છે, આં તે કેવો સાવન

રિમઝીમ રિમઝીમ પડતી ફુહાર, તન-મનમાં આગ લગાડે, તરસાવે છે મને સાવન

કોયલના મધુર ગીત, એની કૂક, હૃદય માં મારા, જગાડે એક મીઠી હુક

માનો કહેતી હોય, ઝૂલો ઝૂલવા આવ જલ્દી, બીજું બધું, તું પડતું મુક

પ્રીતમ મારો આવતો નથી, તરસી ગયાં છે નૈન, બની ગયું છે આજે પાછું દિલ બેચેન.

સોહામણી આં ઋતુમાં, આં મસ્ત માહોલમાં , કોઈ ચોરી ગયું મારું ચૈન.

પિયા વિના , એના વિયોગમાં વરસે છે વર્ષા સંગ, આં આંખોથી આંસુ

તારા વિના ન સુર સૂઝે, ન રાગ; બોલ પ્રીતમ આપણે સાવનમાં કેમ ગાશું

આવી જા, આમ ન તરસાવ મને, કહે રાધિકા કાનાહને, ઓ પ્રીતમ પ્યારા,

આવીજા વૃંદાવન પાછો, યાદ કર ગ્વાલ-ગોપીઓને, યાદ કર એ પનઘટ, ઓ કાન્હાઈ મારા.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

સુનું સુનું લાગે છે ઘર, આમ કેમ બધાને છોડી, ચાલી જવાય તારાથી, ઓ મારા વર ;

પલંગ પર નહીં, રોકીંગ ચેર પર નહીં, ઝૂલો બી છે તારા વિહોનો, જાને પૂછતાં ન હોય બધાં તારી ખબર

સુનું હૃદય, સુની ક્લાઈ બધું છે સુનું સુનું; હતી નહીં મને તારી પલાયન વૃત્તિ ની કોઈ આવી ખબર

જાણું છું એકલતા છે જન્મભરની, તો પછી, મન હૃદય કેમ કબુલતું નથી, માનતું નથી એ વાત?

શા કાજ મારી નજર શોધે છે તને; શા માટે ચાહે છે એ તારી ઉપસ્થિતિ, માંગે છે એ તારો સંગાથ ?

હસતા, ગાતા, ઝઘડતા, એક બીજાને લડતા; શુ તને યાદ આવતી નથી એ બધી વાત ?

૪૫ વર્ષ નો સાથ આમ છોડાય નહીં, કેમ ભૂલી ગયો તું, આં અગત્યની વાત, આપણા સંવાદ

બીજાને કોને કહું મારી વાત, એમને તો લાગશે આં એક વિના અર્થની, એક બિનજરૂરી ફરિયાદ

ગાવું છે મને, "ઓ નીલ ગગનના પંખેરુ, તું કા ન પાછો આવે, મને તારી યાદ સતાવે"; પણ ચૂપ છે બધાજ વાદ

Life is like weather; many changes it does bring.

To it whether good or bad, we dearly cling.

Sometimes rosy, cushy, fair, bright n clear.

At times stormy, gusty, very difficult to steer.

Change life does, in a fraction of a second

Surprises you any minute; remain you cannot slackened.

Your own, often bring in a weather cloudy.

Loving, caring actions suddenly turn rowdy.

Predictions one can, perhaps of weather change make;

But in life's predictions, one can easily make a mistake.

So prepared be my friend, for things good and bad;

Prepared be to remain surprised, happy or sad.

ગાવું છે આજે

દિલના ઊંડાણથી, હૃદયના તાર ઝનઝની ઉઠે, ગળું ખોલીને મને, ગાવું છે આજે

રોમ રોમ સળવળી જાય, આત્મા મારો તૃપ્ત થઈ જાય, એવું ગાવું છે આજે

રાગ રાગીણી વગર પણ, સુર જરાયે ન ભટકે, અતિ સુંદર રીતે, ગાવું છે આજે

દિન યઝદ, માં શારદા સરસ્વતી નું સદા મુજ ઉપર વરદાન રહે, એવું ગાવું છે આજે.

ઓ દિલ મારા, ગુરુજી ની અનુપસ્થિમાં પણ એમને યાદ કરી, એમના આશિરવાદ લઈ, મને ગાવું છે આજે.

વિચારે છે "અનાર", બધું ભૂલી વિસરીને, દિલ ખોલીને, કાઈબી કરીને, મને ગાવું છે આજે

Clothes, always clean we wear, and them try to keep clean.
Our bodies too, we love to clean. Bathe we n perfumes use.
Then why don't we, our heart, mind n soul regularly clean?

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
