"dutia" poems
FIR AAYI HOLI
Fir aayi Holi ek baar, fir le gayi mere dil ka karaar;
Puchhna chahti hu, kyu rulateho tum mujhe yuhi, baar baar.
Itne rango ke beech bhi hei tan man feeka; aankhoki pichkaarise behte hei aansu zaar zaar
Saalo beet chuke firbhi nazar dekhti hei teri raah, lagaataar.
Radha ka pyaar hi hei kuch aisa, maanta nahi yeh kabhi haar
Jaise kanha ke beena Radha adhuri aise hi, piya- milan beena, Holi hei adhuri.
Kanha tere beena rang feeke, Chand feeka; soona lage mohe sansaar.
Aa bhi ja Mohan, itna ne tadpa, raah niharu tori; kab aayega tu jamuna paar.

HERE IS WISHING EVERY INDIAN A
HAPPY DIWALI
On a dark no-moon day, comes Diwali.
Sing children joyfully, "aali re aali, Diwali aali".
Tiny lamps, make this dark no-moon night bright.
Indeed this is a beautiful, eye-pleasing sight.
Children, I know, crackers you love to burst.
But kindly a minute spare, n listen to me first.
Minutes few of fun, cause problems very big n grave.
People many, suffocated feel; n pollution we pave.
Frighten we, little babies n of course, dogs too.
In future, about our actions insane, we will rue.
Celebrate let us Diwali, with beautiful, colourful Rangolis n lights.
Share sweets special; homemade n healthy.
Helping moms to them make, even if you are wealthy.
Let's a portion small of these goodies, with the less fortunate share.
Prove let us to ourselves, that we really n truly care.

HAPPY DIWALI TO ALL
This Diwali, if your spirit is damp,
Look out for a small clamp;
And light a tiny oil lamp.
The lamp of faith, please do light.
It will certainly turn things happy n bright.
And that, will definitely be a wonderful sight.
This Diwali, get rid off the darkness within.
Open your heart n light a lamp there-in ;
Spreading its glow to kith and kin.

ECOFRIENDLY HOLI
Soon will be coming Holi,
And people will play it in a group toli.
Amidst all this fanfare, request you I, to consider this most sincerely ;
When painting each other, in a frenzy do not get caught;
Harmful paints n colours use do not; n precious water waste not.
Summer soon will follow n water indeed scarce will become .
We will it need; n request you I, to leave for plants, animals n birds some.
Wood comes from chopping off trees, which are very precious;
An earnest request is, to play an ECOFRIENDLY HOLI; let's be gracious.
Let's burn away all our vices and all our habits weird and bad;
Let each of us with these, bravely combat, without being sad.

AALI DIWALI
Excitement already there is in the atmosphere, our very air!!!
Goodies, gifts, flowers, lights we wish to, with dear ones, now share.
As citizens good, let's also exhibit some environment friendly care.
Banish Chinese items, I will, because I care for my India n also dare !
Use let us earthen Diyas, decorated in hand; Beautiful ones, beyond compare !
Candles Beautiful can be made or bought n decorated in a bright way.
Colourful Rangoli let us make with organic compounds, indigenous n rare.
Designs, with colours innumerous, one can create if one has a flair.
Same way, why pay so much to buy torn jeans, buy let's a decent traditional pair.
Traditional dresses so colourful are and look pretty n (no wrong meaning) gay.
Pizza, pasta, pastries boycott; try laddu, chakri or Khaja jo mawa se hei bhare.
Instead of flowers, gift Bamboo or money plants or other saplings; what say ?
Gift let us, things made in India. From China, let's willingly sway away !
"Aali Diwali" but create let us noise n smoke less. we must on this, an emphasis lay.
Innovative one can be, using imagination vivid to cute gifts make; n less amounts pay.
No WA, try and visit Grandparents, Mama, Kaka, Aatya, Maushi, is all I have to say !!!
HAPPY WALI DIWALI.

HOLI
On this day of Holi, today on a full Moon night ;
Lost evil and celebrated victory truth and things right.
Hirankashyap and his proud sister were so confident about their might;
But lost the evil Hirankashyap and Holika to righteousness .
Won Prahlad's faith against his father's viciousness ;
As burnt Holika into flames, survived Prahlad because of God's graciousness.
Let us also, all our vices burn, as burn will Holi, tonight
Along with ire, jealousy, suspicions, ego and all that isn't right
As arises morrow , spread may colurs of happiness, shining bright .

FINFIN THE DOLPHIN
Poor Fin Fin, once was Fred's favourite toy dolphin;
But was now sadly rejected; and lying in a dustbin.
Thrown out it was because a drunk servant fed it a little gin.
A small rag-picker boy, picked it up; from the dustbin.
washing it, wiping it; now made it look new and clean.
As he was walking past a river, in it fell poor FinFin.
Sad was the lad, this was really bad; for now drowned FinFin.
A man, consoling him said, "grow n come up one day will, this dolphin".
Come Danny, would daily, our lil boy, to look for his FinFin.
To his astonishment great, one day he saw a big dolphin.
With glee he cried, as he saw it, " look, here's my dear FinFin".
Days went by, with some food, he would daily feed FinFin;
Throw a ball at it, he would n return it back, would the dolphin.
Gathered people now to see this play; giving him money, in a bin.
Happily jump, dance and spin around would, FinFin .
During one such act, along with the ball, fell the lad as he did over-lean.
Promptly picked him up and brought him safely back, our cute FinFin.
Friends for ever they became; lil Danny and our cute FinFin, the dolphin.

CHAI GARAM CHAI
Millions of cups of TEA/CHAI each day, we Indians happily consume
It is almost a must every morning, evening and before we work resume
Lures us its aroma at home or when we pass by a tea-stall, tempting are its fumes
One of the most consumed drinks in India is definitely chai, anyone can this presume
Huge varieties there are, count one cannot; but the most famous I guess is Masala chai
Most Indians, specially Gujjus, this thoroughly enjoy; even foreigners must definitely it try.
Every morning a fresh cup of boiling chai makes your day; ah! that cup of "garma-garam chai"
My most favorites are the aadu-ilaichi (ginger cardamom) n Bawaji special, the fudhina-leeli-chai
Once you sip it, along with Bun-Muska, almost addicted you are, you get a "Chaska" true.
There is an art in concocting a good cup of chai; one must know how to it properly brew
Sadly I wasn't allowed to taste coffee or tea/chai when young, I tasted it, only when I grew
Tea here, is a drink old, but the Brits loved it n made it famous; so, chai is old tea is new

DIWALI
There is enthusiasm all around us; busy is everyone, cleaning their home;
Hey guys n gals, we can't forget, to clean our hearts n minds, for life is a bubble; merely foam
Light a lamp, a diya let us, within our hearts, ignite love; no need there is, to temples roam
"Happy Diwali";
as we wish our dear ones, let's wish our selves too; for within us lives that Diwali Diya, n that "OM".

MY KITE
A girl small, requests her uncle for some "manja" and a kite.
Then goes up to the terrace quietly, choosing a lonely site.
Writing something on the kite, when away from others sight.
She then tries to fly it high up to heaven, in a hurry; with a push light.
The kite finally soars up, Heavenward; after some struggle n fight.
Suddenly her family, after a long time, see on her face a smile bright.
The kite now, far away is, and zooming to a height;
When suddenly it is cut off and is soon out of everyone's sight.
When her they approach to console, see they, a smile bright.
Surprised they are n dumb founded, to see her dancing with all her might.
Ask her they, why happy she is about this; on seeing this plight.
Replies the cute little girl, my kite has, my mother reached; n will soon be in her sight.
I have sent my love n asked her to return; with ink blue on this kite white.
Soon, o very soon, the kite will reach Heaven, n will be within my mum's sight.
With tears they hugged her; knew they, nothing could be done, about the orphan's plight.

THIS DIWALI
This Diwali, prepare n tell yourself, a big "No" to any Chinese stuff
Let's be firm; let China crib, play games ***** or huff and puff
Please be firm, do not buy their lights, lamps or items decorative
Few Fireworks, means less pollution; please take this important initiative
Know this, Fengshui items are absolutely their commercial creation
Let's follow our very own Vastu Shastra, during n always, right away from this celebration.
WISHING YOU ALL MY READERS, A HAPPY DIWALI AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.

On Earth, when winter wears off, Nature, many a colour brings
Every year, immense joy this brings; and this season we call spring
As colourful blossoms n grass green appear, our Earth looks like a queen
Many countries Navrooz celebrate; in India, it has Holi been
That melting snow changes white into green, pink, orange, purple n red
Like an Indian bride looks the Earth, with many a colourful flower bed.
Also, Holi is symbolic of victory; that of good over evil, destroyed as Holika burnt.
Our Earth n earthlings, during this pandemic have taken a lot of brunt
Now Lord kind, please take away all our sorrows n happiness unto us grant
Happiness, prosperity, enthusiasm n peace on this Earth, please now grant.
Happy Holi, Happy Navroze, Happy Gudipadva, Happy Chetichand

HAPPY JANMASHTAMI to all my friends.
Born was Krishna, specially to destroy evil
Killed and conquered He Kans; and many a devil.
Also born He was, to love and happiness spread.
That's why, Radha's name before Him, is always read.
An example fine, of Friendship with Gop, Gopis n Sudama, He set .
Draupadi saved He, when Pandavas, her wongly did bet.
An ideal to follow, for all these above things, He was.
Actions, our own Karma, of happiness or sadness is the cause.
If we humans, followed these examples of His;
Wouldn't wonderful be this world; simply filled with bliss ?

CHAMELEON
Change colours people, even more often than a chameleon would ;
Thought the chameleon, many times I wonder, how easily a human, ever do that could
Infact the chameleon itself wondered, how come these guys are faster n better;
A passer-by somehow the chameleon's thoughts guessed; n told it, "a man is a go-getter"
"Aww.... may be, may be", said the chameleon, "but humans shouldn't so selfish be"
Said the man, "do this you, to yourself save, from your enemy; so that it cannot, you see;"
"But a man, knowingly immediately colour changes to suit his selfish motives n needs"
"Infact many times an innocent human he entangles, blames, or even outright, him weeds"
"Never must you mess with a human, because guess you cannot what goes on, in his head"
Most scheming he is; and can easily, an innocent one harm; if wishes he, in a moment, you will be dead".
With a sigh of relief, said the chameleon, "people sometimes, a blood-sucker call me;"
"But bro, as you truly say, now onwards, of a human, I too very careful will now have to be".

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi
Here is wishing all of you, my dear friends....
દુનિયા આખી, દુખોથી ગઈ છે ઘેરાઈ, આવો ઓ વિઘ્નહર્તા આવો
સર્વનો ત્રાસ દૂર કરવા વિનંતી કરીયે, આવો શિવ-પાર્વતીના સંતાન આવો
દુખીઓના આંસુ લુસવા આવ્યા વિઘ્નહર્તા, આવ્યા ગણપતિ બાપ્પા આવ્યા
મોદક ભાવે, લાડવા ભાવે; જલ્દી આરતી ઉતારો, બાપ્પા આવ્યા, બાપ્પા આવ્યા !
હાર-તોરણ લાવો, સાજ- શીંગાર કરો, રે લોકો બધાં મળી... મંગલ ગીત ગાવો
આરતી ઉતારો, મોદક, લાડવા પેંડા વેહચો બધાંને પ્રસાદ તરીકે, બાપ્પાને વધાવો
જોજો લોકો, બાપ્પા હોય માટીના, અથવા માવા કે ચોકલેટના; સાચવજો નદીના નીર
જીવન છે મુશ્કેલીઓથી ઘેરાયેલું, ઓ સુખકર્તા- દુઃખહર્તા, આવીને દૂર કરજો લોકોની પીડ.

જ્યાં ઇરાનશાહ, દ્વારકાધીશ, શિવજી, મહાવીર, સ્વામિનારાયણ વસે
ગાંધીજીનું ગુજરાત, વલ્લભભાઈનું પણ; નમુ અહીં આવતા, મલક મલક હસે.
ગુજરાતીના હૃદયમાં ગુજરાત વસે, એ છોડી, ઓ ગુજુ તું ક્યાં જશે ?
જવું પડે તો એ, જ્યાં જ્યાં ગુજુ વસે, ત્યાં એક નાનકડું ગુજરાત વસે

MIRAGE
My life entire I spent dreaming away, oh my God, what a waste !
As a kid thought I, absolutely fabulous n fantastic was my taste !
In a glance, just a glimpse; fell in love I did, in a moment of haste !
Love you I did immensely; but you were actually a mirage, not a reality
Perception faulty was mine; nowhere between us, there was any equality
You had nothing to do with this; you were a mirage, just living in the same city
Sad, out of proportion was growing, this one sided love of mine
Never did you invite me for a date, or with you to even dine,
Crazy was my love; patiently thought I, one day things will definitely be fine
But shadows cannot an actual shape take; a mirage always will so remain
Life yours, had no place for me; in it, an entry I would never be able to gain.
Alas! on a mirage, my life entire I spent; frustrated, in excruciating pain.

Beti puchhe babulse , " mei kyu parayi?"
Uski ye haalat dekh ke kayanath bhi sharmayi.
Na mei pihar ki, na sasural ki.
Babul bata mohe, mei aakhir kahaki?
Vidai ke waqt; tune kar di mohe parayi;
Kisine ne jaani mere dukh ki gehrayi.
Aaj tere jaane ke baad to, ne ghar ki , ne ghat ki.
Bas khed hei mujhe is baat ki .
Sasuralwale kahe," tera pihar;"
Yeh soonte hi jau mei sihar.
Sochu manhi man mei; kaunsa pihar !
Jaha aaj apna koi nahi hei; woh pihar !
Niyati ka khel hei yah kaisa?
Pihar ** ya sasural; dekhe harkoi paisa.
Kis se kahu mei dil ki peed ?
Akeli hu; bhale ** chahu aur bheed.
Paav mere tune baandh di janjeer.
Aakhir kyu, aisi meri taqdeer ?

JUDICIARY
Rotting is the system entire, shouldn't it be set on fire ?
Only wealthy crooks, win cases because lawyers powerful they can hire.
Hearing n seeing what is going around, only increases my ire.
Judges n witnesses on sale!!! crooks rich are the buyers.
When will that blind folded symbol, open her eyes; the need is dire.
Cases of dragging justice lingering on for years, is rising higher
Shouldn't we burn this rotting judiciary with fire or an electric wire?
What is your reaction?
