Deepavali

Kind  Lord, this Diwali, dispel may You, all the darkness.
May go away, all small or big dreaded sickness.
And diminish may, all our physical, mental n emotional weakness.

Also vow I, Chinese products, I will try n ban.
Earthen Diyas use as many as I possibly can.
Ban crackers I will;  pollution they create; harming beast n man.

Umpteen delicacies made will be, some in Syrup, some dry.
Sweets n salty savories, to share with the needy, I will try.
This a smile can bring on their faces, n prevent their hungry-cry.

Distribute I will pencils n books, to education spread.
It is as important as distributing bread.
To think of an uneducated India, I actually dread.

CREATE CONFIDENCE.

Every person be it an adult or a child, praise needs.
To fare well with selfconfidence, these are the seeds.
Of criticism, sarcasm, comparisons, let's  destroy the weeds.

Every person unique is; with potentials plenty.
In at least one, he will excel out of things twenty.
We have to coax that person constantly, praising him gently.

Miraculous healing, strength n encouragement, are gifts of praise.
Hurtful, harmful n painful memories it can easily erase.
Let us all genuinely with all our heart, see the good in others; n it praise.

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

TEACH ME

Teach me to kind, loving and caring be
Teach me to, in others, always positive n  good see.

Teach me to happiness create;
By helping others, to change their fate.

Teach me to be innocent like a child.
Teach me to be with everyone considerate n mild.

Elders a little more love, attention n care need;
With our actions, in our children, let's sow this seed.

Teach me to in prosperity, humble remain.
In sorrow, excitement or anger stay sane.

Teach me, to become a beautiful human being;
With qualities good in us, that You expected seeing.

હિંદના દાદા, દાદાભાઈ નવરોજીને અમારા પ્રણામ

એમને, હર ભારતીય નું સર ઊંચું થાય, એવા કારિયા છે, અનેક ગૌરવશાળી, ભલા કામ

આજે ભૂલી રહ્યાં છીએ એમને, જેમને ભીડી હતી અંગ્રેજો સામે હામ

કરે છે "અનાર", હિંદના દાદાજીને, ભાવવિભોર થઈ, પ્રેમભરીયા પ્રણામ.

THIS DIWALI

Instead of spreading pollution with crackers, please, please, please a tree plant

Because manind has taken a wrong turn; in Nature, there is a deteriorating slant;

Every ******* we burst, will pollution in our environment immediately increase

A tree planted by us, or even indoor plants small; this will definitely decrease.

Also, instead of making China richer n more powerful; who, on our  land encroach;

Let us buy mud "diyaas", from our own poor brethren; come, let us, them approach.

Mithais enjoy let us, our own traditional ones Laddoos, Pedas, Jalebis

After all, Cadbury, Nestle, Toblerons, Lindt, Lindor etc are not our alibi.

All our hard earned money, let us, in our country, for our India keep

Encourage let us our own arts and crafts, at Tribal Jewellery, please do definitely peep.

Feel very good I, when some deeds useful and good I do, boost they, my morale.

In my important endeavor, please do join me, I bet you, it will also increase your morale.

Xmas means joy, hope n of course Santa clause ! Everyone sends him a wish list; so do I. Here is my list of wishes ...........

                       THIS XMAS

Dear Santa, from your bag of goodies; unto us babies give;

for we lazy indifferent Bawas, do not wish, to them conceive.

Also unto us, love n faith for Ahura n Zarthushtra bestow,

as that too, in this community of ours, is really very low.

Santa you are benevolent, indeed sweet and very kind,

as for these odd requests from me; please do not mind.

“please, our entire community, with love n unity do bind”

as my pleas to them are in vain; any solution I cannot find.

YOUR BIT TO WATER SAVE

At this moment forget about projects big, just do your bit.

Plant seeds, grow trees; so that in their shade you can sit.

Fresh water preserve each one must; try n practise rain harvest

Building lakes artificial to collect water, would be an act wise; the best.

Leaking taps need to be fixed; do close them immediately after use

Water from RO, A/C plants, washed vegetables n grains, pl. reuse.

Also see we must that water from irrigation canals, reaches every field.

If we all do our bit, Nature help us will, to reserves build.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A GRAND TREE

A tree to grow big, tall n grand, needs an ideal condition.
Appropriate soil, climate,water n seeds complete our mission.
Need we, a farmer good n well experienced with a vision.

When tended lovingly, with fingers green;
When nurtured in conditions ideal n clean;
With climatic conditions appropriate n serene
Grow into a huge luxuriant tree will, this tiny bean.

A mother, that good and fertile soil is.
A father,  that strong, healthy n good seed is.
Clean water n climate, our family n religion is.

So before a marriage, we must, about these details inquire.
To nurture a child healthy, physically, mentally n emotionally all the above are required;
Just like growing a luxuriant tree; good soil and healthy seeds have to be acquired.

A GREAT TEACHER

Some call Him Sai Baba, Guru Nanak or Kabir.
Others say Mahtma, Swamiji, Guruji, or Peer.

Teaches he, lessons of life;
Teaches he, how to handle strife.

Teaches he, to have patience immense.
Teaches he, to be patient, which makes a lot of sense.

Teaches he, to have immense faith in Him.
Teaches he, not to perturbed get, when things seem dim.

Teaches he, to be kind n caring to bird, man n beast.
Teaches he, for inner peace; one needn't  go west or east.

Teaches he, to trees plant and flowers grow.
Teaches he, to waste food not; never it throw.

Protectes He, sometimes punishes He, like a father.
Protects He, with care great, tenderly, like a mother.

Lucky His disciple is, whom He lovingly binds.
Lucky one is, if a teacher like Him, one finds.

A teacher or Guru like Him, is precious and rare.
You are lucky if He takes you under His wings, His care.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

OVERCOME

These days, often feel I, tired, weary and actually weak

Sometimes my heart aches and many times my bones creak.

Irritability, impatience get the better of me these days

To skip activities routine, find I excuses, means n ways

Know I well, old I am becoming, slowly but surely

But O Ahura, help me to these overcome; I know You will surely;

Help me please, to all these difficulties in my stride take

Grow old gracefully let me; n away keep things artificial or fake.

Help me to overcome these ageing problems; grant me good health.

The interest rates decreasing are, n prices escalating; grant me wealth.

HAPPY DASHERA

Ravan destroyed was, because of his ego n  selfishness.

Unnecessarily he created umpteen problems n brought about lots of stress.

A great scholar he was,  who by Lord Shivji was blessed

Only if for attaining Sitaji immorally, he wouldn't have stressed;

He wouldn't die an untimely death at the hands of Ram.

So let us every moment remind ourselves not to be proud n remain calm.

**** the  Ravan within us  n inculcate the qualities of Ram in us.

From this DASHERA let us try to achieve goodness; destroying evil thus.

RAKSHA BANDHAN

A rakhee is a  beautiful bond of love,  faith n care

By tying it, a sister, shows  her love and care.

It also is a reminder of the lovely times, siblings share;

Beautiful memories,  love, fights,  squabbles, those a bro n sis share

A simple thread of cotton or silk, enough is, to say, "Bro I care for you"

"Bro. Keep that love throbbing,  irrespective of where I go, I will always love you".

"Bro, may God, you and your family alwayyyyysssss healthy  n happy keep "

"May He protect and guide you; and under His wings,  you safely keep "

From
Your loving sis.

एक सिपाही, एक सैनिक का वचन

ऐ दुश्मन, लड़ेंगे तुमसे, हम बनके यम।
आजादी के मदमस्त परवाने है हम।
हमारी निष्ठा कभी भी होगी न कम ।
मौत पे हमारी, हमें न होगा गम

ऐ देश वासियों, हर पल तैयार है हम;
सोचना हमें  औरोसे कभी न कम।
देश की इज्जत, देश की ताक़त है हम।
लहराएंगे तिरंगा गगनपे, बड़ी शान से हम।

है यह एक भारतीय सैनिक का वादा
बुलन्द है हर पल, हर हमेशा हमारा इरादा।
सनमान नहीं चाहते हम कोई ज्यादा; चढ़ाना एक शूलोकी माला।
बस अपने बच्चोंको बनाना शूरवीर, इतना करो वादा।

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUBBY DEAREST

Thank you for the wonderful hubby that you have always been.
For supporting me through the rough times I've seen.
Thank you for always being by my side, through thick and thin.

Life with Jer Mum, Shez and you, mostly cushy has been.
Except for the many mishaps n illness that have been.
If it were not for you and Mom's support, miserable I would have been.

Thank you for everything. Lucky I am to have you as my Hubby.
Yours

માડી ઓ મારી મીઠી માડી

હવે તો બસ બધું ભૂલીને, સુઈ જવું છે મને તારે ખોળે, મારી મીઠી માડી

આં બેકદર દુનિયામાં હારીને, થાકીને, થઈ ગઈ છું હું તો સાવ ગાંડી.

આં દુનિયા છે નિર્દયી, તારો ખોળો હૂંફાળો અને સુંવાળો; સુઈ જવા દે હવે મને માડી

ભૂલી જવી છે એ રાત ભયાનક અને બિહામણી, કાળી

ભૂલી જવું છે દુઃખ બધું, ભૂલી જવા છે ઝખ્મો બધા, જે આપે છે, પીડા ભારી

તું, બસ તું અને તું જ, હવે કરી શકશે દૂર, આં અસહય પીડા મારી

કાશ ક્યાંક મળી શકતા હતે નદી ના બે કિનારા.

બંને હોય છે સુંદર, હરિયાળા, અને અતિ ન્યારા .

નદી ને તો એ બંને કિનારા, લાગે અતિ પ્યારા.

પણ કિસ્મતમાં એમની, સર્જાઈ હોય છે જુદાઇ;

કદી ન મિલાપ થાય, એવી કાતિલ જુદાઇ.

લાખ કરે બંને મળવાની કોશિશ; પણ નસીબમાં હોય છે જુદાઇ

આં કિનારા જેવી જ હતી રાધા કૃષ્ણ ની અધૂરી પ્રીત.

એમના નસીબ માં સર્જાયા હતા બસ વિરહ ગીત.

આવા કિનારા શીદ રચિય તે; જોયું નહિ કોઈનું હિત .

પોતાના માટે અને બધા પ્રેમી ઓ માટે રચિયા કેમ તે આં તન્હાઈ ભરીયા કિનારા ?

MIRROR IMAGE

Faces we have three; external, internal n for people close.

The one for outsiders, is the one, with a mask you compose.

The other one is where shed off some of the mask; making foes.

The original is your true self; what you actually are.

Your character  is what you are, look within; need there isn't to go far.

If you painstakingly build it; with a seer, my dear, one can be at par.

But slip if you, become you will, your own biggest foe.

Look within or into a mirror, and your true self you will get to know.

Slowly but steadily build your character n be you will, a musk-doe.

होली आइ

होली आइ, तु न आया, करु मै तेरा इंतज़ार;

हर पल तेरी याद सताए, याद आए तु मोहे बार बार

नवरंगो से कर दे तु, मोहपे रंगीन बौछार

भिगो दे चुनर, तन, मन मेरा; रंगों का है यह त्योहार

और दे मोहे थोड़ा सा अनमोल वोह प्यार ।

राहों में आंखे बिछाए, करू मैं तेरा इंतज़ार

और कुछ नहीं, बस चाहूं मै तेरा दीदार

तब मिलेगा इस बेताब दिल को, थोड़ा सा करार

होली आइ, तु न आए तो मुझे जीना भी लगे बेकार;

होली आइ, आजा सजन,  तोरी सजनिया करे पुकार।

तड़प रहा है मन मोरा, कुछ तो आए मुझे करार

प्यासा दिल तरस रहा है, रंगों से भीग कर, शायद आए करार

होली आइ, अब होता नहीं मुझसे और इंतज़ार

HAPPY GANDHI JAYANTI.

An attorney at law, honest, with plenty of self- respect, today was born.

Tried he to assure all his countrymen would get cothes, water n corn.

But his main aim was to drive away the Brits n to Mother India, a free status adorn

Picked he, "Satya-Ahimsa" to achieve it; but she was often ripped off n torn;

In spite of the many difficulties, Gandhiji got her Independence; that he had, for Her sworn

His three piece suit he gave up; thereafter only a dhoti he had worn.

Thanks to the sacrifices of many many "senanis", on  15th Aug we saw, an independent morn.

EVERY CHRISTMAS

Every year, come Christmas and Santa I wish to become.
And to cute little children, distribute gifts some.
Hope I, many more people in my endeavour would come.

If rich I would be, even the old a Xmas gift would get.
There are so many elders who need this; many whom I've met.
Who, for their children n grandchildren often desperately fret.

The Sleeping Santa in us, if we awoken, and put into action;
Wonderful, truly beautiful n magnificent would be the reaction.
Can we all, such like-minded people form such a faction ?

Christmas then really will be Merry. And the following New Year, happy will be.
God bless.

અનારની અરજ

ભૂલકાંઓ, આપણી પરંપરા ભૂલે થી બી ભૂલયે નહીં, રાખજો સદા આં ધ્યાન

ઉત્તમ આવે પરિણામ, જ્યારે પરંપરાગત તરીકતો સાથે મળે આપણું બોહળું જ્ઞાન

આં દેઅપાદર રોજે, ચાલો હળી મળી ને નાના મોટા, સૌ કરીયે ચૂલાનો સત્કાર

માનવએ જ્યારથી રાંધતા શીખ્યું, ત્યારથી જરૂર આપ્યો હશે એને, ચૂલાને આવકાર

અન્ન અને અગ્નિ, જળ અને વાયુ કુદરતની છે બક્ષેશો ખરેજ અણમોલ

એમને માન સન્માન આપી આદર સત્કાર કરવો જોઈએ, એજ છે, જીવનની સાર્થકતા, એનું મોલ.

નસીબ

નાનકડું પાંદડું ખર્યું અને વૃક્ષ પરથી એ થયું જુદું

એના કુટુંબ થી દુર, ઊડયું થઈ દિશા વિહોણું,

ગભરાયું બિચારું, કોઈ હતું નહિ એની આજુ બાજુ.

દિલમાં હતો ડર, ઠંડી હવામાં  ધ્રુજતુ હતું વિચારું

વિચારતું હતું, લઈ જશે ક્યાં મને હવે નસીબ મારું

મારાં કુટુંબથી છું હું દૂર, એકલું થઈ, છું હું બહુ મજબૂર

બધાં સાથે કેવા હલી મળી ને હતાં રેહતા, કિસ્મતને ન જાણે શું છે મંજુર !!!

નસીબ મારું મને લઈ ચાલ્યું ક્યાં, મારા વહાલાઓ થી દુર.

કોઈક ને માટે ભલે હોય એ ઈંટ કોન્ક્રીટનું એક મામુલી મકાન

મારે માટે છે એ, મારું  આશિયાનું, એક પ્રેમ મંદિર મહાન

જ્યાં છે યાદો મારી માં ની, જે અમારે માટે હતી, અમારું જહાન

જેમાં ઇમાનદારીની પાઇ પાઇ નાખી હતી, વસે છે એમાં અમારી જાન

વહાલું છે અમને આં ઘર, આં મકાન, રેડિયાં છે એમાં, અમે અમારા પ્રાણ

લોકોની સંવેદના આજે મરી પરવાડી છે, બંધ છે અંતરમન સાથે આંખ અને કાન

આપે છે જે દાહજહેલા ઉપર દાહમ; મરી ચૂક્યું છે જેમનું કઠોર મન અને ઈમાન

આં પ્રેમાળ પંખીનો, પિંખી નાખ્યો માળો, જીવતાજીવ વીંધી નાખ્યા બીચારાના પ્રાણ.

प्यार में सौदा नहीं

प्यार में कोई सौदा होता नहीं है;

गर कोई कहे है; तो मै कहूं, तो फिर यह प्यार नहीं है

हा, इतना जरूर है, थोड़े से प्यार की अपेक्षा जरूर होती है ।

प्यार मांगने से मिलता नहीं; और जबर्जस्ती से होता नहीं ;

नहीं तो हर इंसान बस प्यार ही मांगता; मै खुद भी ।

प्यार तो बस यूंही हो जाता है; अपना दिल, पल भर में, पराया हो जाता है ।

प्यार पे कहां किसी का ज़ोर चलता है ? मन मस्तिष्क "ना" कहता रह जाता है;

और दिल किसी की सुनता कहां
है, प्रीतम का ही हो जाता है।

प्यार जो करते हैं; वोह सौदा नहीं किया करते;
बस दिल का दिया जलाते हैं ।

प्रीतम की खुशी में, अपनी खुशी ढूंढते रहते है; खुद फना हो जाते हैं ।

किसीने कहा है, आंधी में यह दीप जलाते हैं और पानी में आग लगा देते हैं।

प्यार में सौदा नहीं होता है, जहां सौदा होता है, वहा प्यार नहीं होता है ।

What is the reason of life, of  birth?
Why send you, humans
To this Earth ?
To  some you grant plenty
And keep some absolutely empty.
Why oh why, please tell me why ?

O MISTICAL  MOON

Clear skies and a full Moon in all its glory shining;

Your memories darling, were more than inviting.

In the Moon, see your face, I desperately wished to.

In it's unique Beauty, behold you, I sincerely wished to.

Romance there was in the cool soothing breeze;

This helped my worries disappear n tensions easy

Soothing and calming was the effect deep

In my entire being, it did enter n into me it did seep.

O romantic Moon, can you give my love a message please.

"His love I crave for, can you kindly this message release

O romantic Moon, convince him please to a little love share

A cute message send, so that I know he does care".

Tell him that love him I do, n will always so do.

Tell him to reciprocate n  accept these feelings true.

DASSEHRA

Signifies this special day of Dassehra victory; triumph of good over evil

Be it Ram, Faredoon or Krishna, show us they how to destroy a devil

In today's Kalyug many times saddened we are to see evil triumph over good

Desperately pray we should, that this condition reverse very soon would.

All around we see evil, cheating, ******, robbery, arson, loot and rudeness

May goodness overpower evil; prevail thereafter should only goodness.

If sincerely try we, to rid Ravan within us, we can; but endeavor ours should be earnest

Start if we right away, a little by little, surely pass we can this difficult test.

चलो इस बार हम कुछ अनोखा कर के दिखाए

चॉकलेट, बिस्कुट, केक, वी, के गणेशजी बनाए ।

धरती अपनी, नदी, झील, सागर अपने; फिर उन्हें क्यों करे मलिन;

भक्ति के साथ तो जुड़ी है भलाई; तो हम मीन को क्यू मारे उस दिन ?

छोटासा प्यारासा चॉकलेट का गनू महराज बनाके, उन्हें करे विसर्जित दूध में

आशीर्वाद प्रभु का पाए, मिल्क शेक की प्रसादी शुद्ध में ।

मिट्टी के गनु महराज, पानी से भिगोकर, लगाएं एक पौधा

तो अपने आप ही भगवान बढ़ा देंगे आप सब का औद्धा ।

शुभ  गणेश चतुर्थी

A TASK SMALL

Sun, all of us may not be able to become,

Because powerful can become only some.

But a lamp we can all, most certainly become;

Giving light, to many;  leading at least some.

Many a times, just a single ray can help someone to overcome.

Overcome grief, sorrow, depression, fatigue, to an extent some.

So let's do this task small; but an important one.

तू गया

तू गया, गया संग, मेरे दिलका करार

तू गया, तो गए तुझ संग सब साजसिंगार

तू गया तो रूठे मुझसे मेरे गीत संगीत

यह तूने क्या किया, ओ मेरे मनमीत ???

जानेवाले के संग कोई जा नहीं सकता

मौत के साथ कोई लड़ नहीं सकता

इंसान भगवानके सामने हो जाता है मजबूर

लोक भी बदल जाते है; हो जाते है दूर

रोने के लिए अब कंधा भी नहीं मिलता

रिश्तेदार कतराते हैं; सच्चा रंग अब है खिलता

फितरत बदलने लगती है, अब हम लगते हैं बोझ

इतने सारे लोगों में, मिल जाते है एक दो दिलसोज़

यही है जमानेकी रीत, जिंदा रहनेवाला मरता है तिल तिल

बस अब यही है तुम्हारी नई मंज़िल

SUNNY SIDE

In life there is plenty of good and also bad,

We are many times happy and at times sad.

There's Sun and at times, there's shade.

To sadness, darkness n bad things, good bye bade.

Always look to the Sunny side, which is bright.

Ignoring negativity n dark, look forward to light.

Try to smile, even if troubled, sad and lonely;

Rely on God; look after you He will only.

Keep going ahead; your way, push n ******

Respect, love n implicitly in Him, trust.

LOOK UP TOWARDS THE SUNNY SIDE.

A GREAT TEACHER

Some call Him Sai Baba, Guru Nanak or Kabir.
Others say Mahtma, Swamiji, Guruji, or Peer.

Teaches he, lessons of life;
Teaches he, how to handle strife.

Teaches he, to have patience immense.
Teaches he, to be patient, makes a lot of sense.

Teaches he, to have immense faith in Him.
Teaches he, not to perturbed be, when things seem dim.

Teaches he, to be kind n caring to bird, man n beast.
Teaches he, for inner peace; one needn't  go west or east.

Teaches he, to trees plant and flowers grow.
Teaches he, to waste food not; never it throw.

Protectes He, sometimes punishes He, like a father.
Protects He, with care great, tenderly, like a mother.

Lucky His disciple is, whom He lovingly binds.
Lucky one is, if a teacher like Him, one finds.

A teacher or Guru like Him, is precious and rare.
You are lucky if He takes you under His wings, His care.
