इस काली अंधेरी रात मैं इक रोज सब खो जाना है
तुझे भी ऐ मन इक रोज जग छोड़ जाना है
क्यूँ व्यर्थ परेशान है तू
इस जींदगी का पूर्ण आधार है तू
अभी तो तिमिर मैं ज्योत जगाना है तुझे
जंग मैं जीत पाना है तुझे
इस जंग मैं ढाल बन खड़ा होना है तुझे
सावधान रह की इस मशाल की आग ना बुझे
कुछ खरोंचों से ढाल ना टूटी है कभी
तीर और तलवार क्या मौत से भी जूझना है अभी
रह आश्वस्त की हर बधी को पार कर जायेंगे हम
तभी तो जग को रोशिनी से भर पाएंगे हम
हौसला अफ्साही से कदम बढेंगे जब भी
गम क्या मौत भी लौट जायेगी यूँ भी

In the cosmos

In the whirlpool of cosmos
Amidst the order and chaos
Man keeps looking for utopia
Wishing to earn the cornucopia
Unaware of Time’s twists and turns
Man keeps pushing in spite of burns
Holding fast his belief
Not stopping to search relief
In the endless quest of self
Man keeps trying beyond himself
The tired body shatters down
Still keeps moving on without a frown

Canvass of life

Life is a blank canvass to be filled with color
Some are given brush of talent and competence
Others have to rely on hard work and patience
Whatever be the tool
Canvass must be painted and live life to full

When God handed the canvass and color in our hand
Some took action and some waited for instruction
Some filled it with bright color stripes
Others chose pale and dull strokes
Whatever be the choice
Canvass will shine and smile with poise

There are no good or bad portraits
These are just the reflection of our deeds and traits
So somewhere someone is making some choice
To some it leads to sorrow and to some rejoice
Whatever be the reason
Magic canvass will cheer with passion

New Year – Times way

The clock keeps ticking hour and minute
The calendar keeps changing date and year
Everything keeps moving round and round
Time does not like this bound
A twenty-four hours cycle changes days
A three hundred sixty-five days cycle changes year
Everyone rejoice and celebrates the change
Time finds it strange
Not understanding time’s view
I asked him for his purview
He first laughed at my ignorance
Then answered showering his fragrance
Celebrate every day and moment
Without waiting for change of year statement
For time every second is special
So celebrate it with smile and compassion

Journey across junctions

To reach a destination
I came across some junctions,
Having no signs or directions
All path led to some termination
Got a response on asking for direction
That left with more confusion
I chose one based on intuition
Kept moving at times up and at times down
Sometimes with smile and sometimes with frown
After few such junctions
I have started enjoying these conjunctions
Continuing this journey called life
Marching day and night
With a dash of passion and determination
To reach a place called destination

Life

Life is a journey with no ends
There is a beginning apparently in every end
People at times tend to hang on
Forgetting that everything has to move on
O! Pilgrim of the journey named life
Hold no grudge against what is your life
With limited wisdom you continued on your path
Hoping no honor or regard
Have faith in self and keep doing your deed
Let time determine if someone will pay it heed
It shall change everything for now and ever
So keep moving on your path forever!!

Fight for a Desire

Loosing the hold of the ground

Everything seems to be coming down

Cannot find the reasons why

Analysis will not simplify

I can't understand the chain of these thoughts

No matter how hard I think

Inner voices are making the matters worse

Making things appear as if I have been cursed

Come what, I have to take charge of the situation

It may further the internal fire and agitations

But I have to hang on to this desire

Let the fire reach its culmination

Engulfing in it all my dreams and other desires

The sacrifice of my dreams will not go in vain

Defying all laws it will resurge again!
