MY SAPLING

I am your loving guardian, your Gardener;

Who awaits to see a sapling bloom, as if a baby it were.

And you of course , my most precious sapling are.

See you I wish to, blossom, bloom n spread your branches far.

Tender, loving you are, sweet as sugar or honey.

Sometimes giggling, crying, angry or even funny.

Everything is a game, be it sleep, studies or time for feed.

I your gardener painstakingly will tend to all your needs.

May you blossom to be a great Parsi, n an Indian great too.

May Ahura always shower His choicest blessings upon you.

Your Gardener, your Ma

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Holidays over, children returned; and lonely was I.

Many times felt like crying, I would very often sigh !

To make it easy, gifted I was, by my friend, a cute little pup.

Our friendship began, when  ran I, to him feed, some warm milk in a cup.

Soon became we friends great;  inseparable, very close.

Most faithful n loving he is; ever ready to fight foes.

Looks into my eyes deeply he does, wagging his tail.

Curl he does in my arms fat, hugging me without fail.

Knows he my intentions, before I say a word; he is really smart

Now, I love him with all my heart; of my life, he is a part.

Human friendships most, are commercial n conditional.

My cute pup, I call him Scampy, fills my life with love unconditional.

MY SQUITTY

Awww, so tiny you were

Almost bald, with hardly any fur.

Frightened you were, shivering on the ramp

Scared I was, somebody on you would stamp.

Awaited we for your mother to come along

Awaited we till office closure; really long !!

To protect you; home in a cage, I brought you.

Oh you tiny one, you escaped from under the door too.

On an impulse quick I caught you n gone was my fright;

Worried we were, for you, how to things set right.

In a cushioned basket small, we settled you down.

Named you we SQUITTY, and redefining a proper noun

Soon you moved all over the house, all around,

Scared we were,. so away we kept you from the ground

You hid under Mom's pillow and crawlled all over

On my hand you would sit; and around Mum hover

Enjoyed we your holding n  drinking milk from a dropper;

like a baby, holding his milk bottle, comfortable in a romper.

Oh those were such beautiful days, it's memories I cherish.

After you were gone no other pet we kept; your memory we do ravish.

In our hearts, for ever fondly you dwell n lay.

In Heaven protected by angels, may you happily stay.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

MY SUNFLOWER

Sunshine friends one easily gets, when things are gay.

Ma, you were my Sunflower on a cloudy day.

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.

Your loving daughter
Anar.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

My Mithra

After your prayers, become a person, bit better

By doing this you will definitely become a trendsetter.

Throw away anger, meanness, jealousy, ego n pride

See and ascertain that because of your behavior, no one has cried.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

MY THOUGHT I WISH TO SHARE

Not a lion or a tiger, but man, is the most cruel animal.
There are even men some, we call a cannibal.
They eat other men as food, for their sustainance ,  survival.

But imagine killing a new born babe or an unborn foetus !
That's not like eating chicken, fish or an octopus.
I think, we need to bring a change in our attitude, in us.

We terrorise people, or cruelly squeeze them we .
Excruciating pain n torture on others, many love to see!!
Even compel we some poor, to their organs sell for a small fee.

Shouldn't we pause and about our actions think ?
Remember we must, that between God n man,there is a divine link.
Goodness, kindness, compassion in our hearts n minds, may hopefully sink.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

MY THOUGHT FOR THE NEW YEAR

O how very  easy it is for us, to others criticize;

Without thinking, how them it will traumatize.

On words ours, before uttering them, beg you I, to emphasize.

For just a moment think, how your tongue you should utilize !!!

Before ill we speak about another, lets please contemplate;

Words bitter once spoken; a permanent wound create.

Amends made by us thereafter are a total waste;

Does it make any sense to sorry say to a dead man, you killed in haste ???

MY VIVID IMAGINATION

Lemon seeds few I throw, n grow from them should umpteen lemon trees

Similarly Mango, Chiku, guava, drumstick,  orange trees should increase.

May coconut palms plenty flourish, swaying gracefully along with sea breeze.

Date palms, so very many,  should grow, turning into oasis, the dry desert sands.

How very beautiful will our  Earth look, imagine Her I; as if,  like a bride she stands.

No poor, hungry will go, when filled with  veggies n fruits will be our lands.

Happy beyond words I be will, if on every road n highway happen this really  would;

If every man plant trees few could; this Earth like paradise, surely look would

if instructions given can be, our doongerwadis, Baugs, like orchards look would.

O  Ahura,  silly sound to many it could,  but You can, my imagination easily fulfil.

May my vivid imagination come true. May  Amardad  Ameshaspand n Spenta  Armaiti also, this will;

May the rich selflessly look into this, n green become our land; every dale n hill.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

MY WILD       FLOWERS

Love you I most dearly, my flowers wild.

But unlike my Shez, you two are not mild.

She was extremely good n well behaved as a child.

Every thing was properly placed n filed.

Just the opposite these two are; my flowers wild.

Everything is messy; books never piled.

Ahura kind, bless them with nature sweet, caring n mild.

Great Zarthostis become they should; roses not flowers wild.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

કોઈ સમજીને પણ નાસમજ થાય; તો એનો પોતાનો જ વાંક.
એના પોતાના કર્મ

Anar

DECIDE RIGHT NOW

DECIDE whether you wish or not, to protect this planet,  our Earth ??

The result will be, anoxia, polydipsia, starvation or sheer mirth.

It's entirely your choice, your decision, your Karma.

But your progeny will suffer grossly if you fail in your Dharma.

We can make our Earth cool, green, filled with flowers, fruits n vegetables

Or a dry desert, without oxygen, water n food on your tables.

However modern and contemporary things may become

Will you carry oxygen cylinders or for it, to hospitals come???

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Let us preserve this rich inheritance.

To protect it, let's not   miss a single chance.

Let us improve every circumstance

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Nature's fury

Watching this, I know how angry you are with us humans;

Misused your bountiful gifts we have grossly;

But kind-hearted you are, forgive us, O Mother Earth for our trespasses.

Understand I, this is the result of our own "karm"; our chopping off forests n trees.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

NATURE'S IRE

Beware, horrible n fearful is Nature's ire.
Like, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods n fire.
The consequences of any of these are dire.
An example recent, is the California fire.
To accomplish, several elements, Nature can easily hire.
Lord, mercy have on us n protect us from Nature's ire.
Plead to You I do, I beg of You, my Sire.
Save our Earth, our cosmos from Nature's ire.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

NATURE'S MIGHT

Mighty is the strength and fury of Nature;

Showed this to us, a virus,  a tiny  creature.

Now, due to the scare of death; out we don't adventure

Europe n USA  even changed their, hand shake culture

Learn we must soon to preserve n protect Nature;

Or perish will this so called intelligent race, at this conjuncture.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Welcome Maa, we, You desperately need.
But not in pandals filled with show n greed.
Required you are, where the poor breed.

Decorated pandals, where millions over feed.
Show off they, their money which does exceed.
With this money, so many poor one could feed.

Educate n clothe them; but no one to this does heed.
Education would, to vocation n employment lead.
Solved thus could be, the ordinary man's need.

Every girl your blessings n protection does need.
For this most important task, O Maa, to You, I plead.
Of n for her security, this NAVRATRI, sow the seed.

Armin Dutia Motashaw.

Navroze brings in spring; which brings hope, inspiration, joy, colour and green.

Luscious fruits and flowers on hanging boughs, to each other smile and grin.

It's a relief to the Earth, after the torture of summer, autumn n winter it has been (through).

The Earth to adorn a beautiful garb of green with flowers n fruits is very keen.

Pray I, may the Earth remain green, very clean, peaceful and serene.

Navroze Mubarak to all the Nations who celebrate it.
May every human towards peace, lean.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

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.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

NAVROZE  MUBARAK TO ALL OF YOU

HERE COMES SPRING

Ah!! beautiful new leaves I see and a few buds too; spring is here !!!

Snow will soon start melting,  colourful flowers will bring in cheer !!!

When comes  JAMSHEDI NAVROZE, out come glasses of wine and beer;

Along side come,  Pullav- daar, patrani machchhi,  cutlets n kababs my dear

Wine, dine, dance n drama there will be all; meet will relatives from far n near !

Amidst these activities many,  will we have time to an Agiyari visit n pray; this I fear !!

Thank Ahura let us all, for the bounties granted n gear up for the coming year.

NAVROZE MUBARAK TO EVERY ZARTHOSTI ON THIS PLANET.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Navroz Mubarak

May this Navroz usher in all that is good, all good things that happen should

Determine to bring about a positive, electrifying change, we should.

Each and every one of us, for our Ahura, become a rathestar should.

Follow the tenets n rites wisely made by our ancestors, we should.

May Ahura n Yazads all, grant us the necessary will power, the verve to be good

May we all practise Parsipanu, which teaches us to do lots of good.

If we married a humdin early, n had children three, it would be **** good.

If the wealthy Zarthostis help out to this achieve, it would be very good.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

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.

SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE

Charismatic, brave, and an outstanding leader was our Subhash;

Many, him adored and  admired, and said, " wah wah, Shabaash."

Under his able and fearce leadership, Indians, to gain Independence, had great "AASH"

But his sudden disappearance into the air thin made his followers "NIRASH"

Whatever the reason, wish we, wouldn't this horrible incident, "Kaash"

Fondly, we remember you;  accept, please, our "Shraddhanjali" rev. Netaji Subhash.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

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

Armin Dutia Motashaw

May your New Year be filled with the best wine.

May you drink, dance and happily dine.

Eat drink and be merry, but do not spill.

May this New Year all our good dreams fulfill.

May Jio the stork, add many more babies ;

So that distribute with pride we can, Pedas n Jalebis.

May we with all our hearts learn and Parsipanu practise.

May every child n youth flower into a true Zarthosti n its tenets  practise.

May the New Year bring joys of spring, though just now it's autumn- fall.

Soooooo, a very very healthy, peaceful and happy New Year to us all.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

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.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Happy Birthday, my dearest Melody Queen;

Millions of hearts, Lataji, ruling you have been.

Always a pleasure it is, listening to your lilting melodies, evergreen.

Lucky are those people, who have met you n you personally seen.

To meet you is my dream, await it I eagerly; n am ever so keen.

May God bless you and may you always reign as our Queen.

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.

NONAGENARIAN ✈️ NOW

Today, on 15th October, AIR INDIA is 91 years old......

Happy Birthday  to you,  o Jeh's dream child since 1932; we wish you success n prosperity

Currently undergoing Renaissance you are, with Ratan's attempt, a fresh-lease you will get; a huge diversity.

Jeh n Ratan, I pray, for Air India's immense growth, with Tata-ethics and veracity

Sure I am, Ratan, and all of us, Airindians, endeavour will, to achieve this, with a constant tenacity.

With God's blessings n Jeh's heavenly blessings, Ratan n all of us, this achieve will; with our  perseverance n capacity.

To you bid we Adieu  my little sweetheart

Remember, of this family you are a part

Even  though you tomorrow to Australia dart

Forever live you will in my heart .

GOOD BYE... ALL THE VERY BEST .
GOD BLESS YOU

Any grave illness,  acute or chronic is like a curse,

That's when we know the importance of a nurse.

She is the one who helps us to this situation reverse;

Be it problems of heart,  brain, kidneys,  back or liver n bile.  

It is a straining job to do so,  yet she does it with a smile

That's the reason you recover enough to walk a mile.

She is like a daughter,  sister, mother to those who are ill;

Giving medical treatment, be they, injections or many a pill

Overworked she is, tired n exasperated with this drill;

And yet does this she willingly, with a smile,  for years,  everyday.

Thank her with all our heart and at least a flower please offer today

Accept our gratitude dear Florence  Nightingale; for your health we pray.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Appreciate her hard work, hardly a few

She hardly gets her due

Wish people would give her the respect due

HAPPY NURSES DAY

O ARDIBESHT AMESHASPAND

Sorry, we humans are really demanding n even ungrateful goons;

Always requesting for so very many valid or unnecessary boons

You, O Ardibesht Ameshaspand, so highly revered n great;

Have this wonderful, generous and benefitting trait

with your loving soft warmth and when required, strong heat;

Many dreaded diseases, You easily destroy and defeat.

Our Earth fighting covid, is troubled n reeling in deep pain

Help us O Ameshaspand benevolent, to remain healthy n sane.

Bless this Geush Urvan with much needed health, prosperity and peace

Also, may our faith in You, Dadar Ahuramazda n Zarathushtr increase.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Spenta Armaiti bless us, your children, egoistic n arrogant

Agree I, some are basically good, but perhaps ignorant

Whatever be the reason, poor Mother Earth has to bear the brunt.

Geush Urvan has to suffer this arrogance, ego and ignorance

O Aspandamard Ameshaspand, come please to our help, at once.

Once again, bless n purify this devastated Earth; blessing Her with abundance.

Your land is excavated, exploited by us n your waters we badly pollute

This human race, with its motives mean n selfish, just wants to resources loot

Bless us on this day auspicious; with wisdom profound n absolute.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

For Saojben Carvalho

A human wonderful she was.
Ever ready to help for a good cause.
Sweet natured, friendly, tenacious n docile;
But with unethical practices she never did concile.
RIP.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

O CORONA

Many lives precious,  from us you have snatched

Gone away have people to whom we were very closely attached

To the human race,  billions  and trillions of dollars you have cost

Lives, businesses,  jobs,  so very many people have lost.

But the saddest part is,  them we couldn't take care of, neither meet

Even prayers unattended remain because chained you have,  our feet.

Agreed that it is our karma, it's Nature's ire we face, but now please us  forgive;

Go away now for ever, and to this human race,  a respite pleeeease give.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

हे देवा,
आज सारी जनता है पीड़ित,
कहते है, दुख है निमित;
और हमारा विश्वास है सीमित,
फिर भी प्रभु, आश है जीवित।

दिलसे गाये तेरे गुणगान,
दीजिए सुखका वरदान।
खूब बढ़े तेरा मान पान,
मिले तुझे बहुत सन्मान।

दूनियामे हो अच्छाई की जीत।
जगमे बढ़े श्रृद्धा और प्रीत।
हर किसी को मिले, उसके मन का मीत।
गाए दुनियां तेरे भजन और गीत।

Armin Dutia Motashaw

OH THIS HEAT

Wish there were very many cool, clean swimming pools;

Where spend we could, vacations away from cuties n schools.

Like buffaloes, dip and sit we would; and ourselves cool.

Sitting there, **** a gola we could; at this thought, my mouth does drool.

Nature I do not blame, it's our own doing; this terrifying heat !!!

If careful we can be; further destruction avoid; it we can beat.

Greens, trees if we increase and pollution try to control;

If water we preserve, use of plastics, fumes, heat we reduce.

Dividends rich, truly valuable, we can hope to deduce.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

OH TO BE IN CALCUTTA.....OH NO, KOLKATA...

Here, noisy street protests often are seen.
Time plenty, people have; to scream n create a din.

Traffic unruly and often chaotic is,
Parking is a nightmare, that doesn't cease.

The buildings here, grand and stately were.
Today dilapidated and in a pathetic condition are;

"London bridge is falling down", goes an old old song.
But here they actually fall. There is something very wrong.

From superiority complex, suffer the Bongs;
Because, above all they are, in music n songs.

In speaking, often very loud they are;
You actually can hear them from far.

Educated, well- read , in literature;
proud they are of their rich Bengali culture.

English, many know; but their accent, "Baba re baba" !
"O" soft, is used, loudly as"Au", tauba-tauba !

A **** carries a lil Bengal, goes wherever he;
This abroad, very easily and often you see.

A ****'s Friend, (specially Manna Da's.)

OH TO BE OLD !!!

When we grow old, the body so weak becomes; suddenly hurts  everything.

Mobility becomes a problem major n wish we, someone for us things could bring.

One cannot easily wear his clothes, button them or tie shoe strings.

A good singer in youth, now almost croaks or notes low, hardly sings.

Memory foresakes him; oh my !! Each time he forgets something.

Oh My God he mournfully says; "what did I just ask you to bring" ?

More money he spends at the doctor n on medicines he has to cling !!!

Food there may be plenty; but forbidden he is, to eat most of the things.

If eats he what he likes, complications arise; his favourite he can't home bring.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

O LIFE

Life is really strange.
It puts you on a pedestal some times ;
And weirdly  humiliates us at times.
We often are let down by our own.
It is often they, who leave you to moan.

Varied are your colours n your many ways.
Give they memories, which with us life long stays.
Teaches it lessons, we cannot anticipate.
Putting us into situations we call fate.
That's why I say; Life is really very strange.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

O Lovers,

We here, have plenty of manpower,

Plant seeds let's, just before the shower.

Using students from colleges n schools,

Use if we don't this potential now, we are fools.

During this vacation, let's arrange this right away.

Some branches n seeds, plant let us today.

A little digging, watering, gardening n farming;

Bring will, great results; satisfying though may not be charming.

Let's make this our mission, our passion, a cult !!!

If the rich participate, wonderful will be our result.

So, why wait for another hour or day !!!

Get started to protect ourselves, THIS IS THE BEST WAY.

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.

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)।

On Children 's Day

Our children are truly our strength.
They are our actual, our real wealth.
Wish them I, a good physical n emotional health.

Every child is like soft, wet clay.
Carefully, painstakingly with them, we must play.
Inculcating habits good in them; which life long stay.

Carry they will, your dreams n aspirations.
Teach them to build n  respect relations.
Into citizens n humans useful should be their transition.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

ON DASHERA

The learned scholar, ruined was, because of ego and pride.

That made him steal someone else's bride.

He disregarded  Sita's feelings, n the tears she cried.

That's why came the downfall, of his entire side.

Ram, defeating him, took back home, His pretty bride.

And the strong Ravan, insulted and humiliated, died.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Help me this depression, pain and frustration fight

Grant me patience and that much needed correct  insight

Let down I feel n forsaken too; feel I, a heaviness in my chest, tight

I know I need to control my feelings; letting negativity go off, like a kite

Smothered I feel, the wound n intensity too deep are; show me a ray bright

All you dear ones from the Heavens, please quickly help me set things right.

One Way

How do I tell you, of the love that is so deep in my heart?
How do I tell you, of my existence, you are the most important part ?
Darling, my sweetheart, to do this, I wish I was bold and smart.

Love is only giving, I agree; to you, I give it .
It's without expectations, I do agree; but wish in return, a wee bit.
Deny it not, on my death bed; my listless eyes, you will see lit (up).

How I wish, if not in reality, you will visit me in my dream.
All I need is a smile n a word kind; I ask not for the cream.
But darling dearest, instead you have built a wall, a ridge, a seam.

Invite you to smile at me and speak I, to-night;
In my dream, wish I to see your warmth n light.
Your arms around me; will make me feel very bright.
