Unique Genre Of Poems Use Beauty To Urge A Social Revolution

On my new car

2010-10-01T08:18:00.000-07:00

Aaj mon cheyeche ami hariye jabo
Hariye jabo ami Garir sathe
Serial suru howar age, ghore pouchate
Ekti GPS ache amar hate...

Tumi bhashao amar ei cholar sathe
Police-er hath theke dur hote
Tai ja dekhi aaj sobi bhalo lage
Ei nuton garir signal-er age

Keno din alor moto prokhor hoye
High beam ta jole thake
Chicago rate...

Jazbaat woh bejubaan

2010-09-03T09:08:00.000-07:00

hazar lakho un bato me jo baat reh gai ankahi...
nazron de shoukh andaz us bat ko aab kya kehna..

Pain

2010-05-20T18:39:00.000-07:00

Pain gives a purpose to live for;
Which happiness does suffer-

Satya meva jayate

2010-04-22T09:30:00.000-07:00

We all know, we all feel
Truth may not always triumph;
Few know - guts to follow truth
Is more rewarding than triumph

Perfection

2010-04-13T13:19:00.001-07:00

Perfection exists only in moments.
Let moments be made eternal..

Real and Ideal

2010-04-07T10:59:00.000-07:00

In my passionate pursuit for ideal love,
I failed to recognize real love-

Traveler

2010-03-16T20:20:00.000-07:00

I traveled through the mountains,

I traveled through the wood;

I wandered through the forest

As far as I could-

I sailed through the rivers

I breathed in the sea

I tried to touch the horizon

As far I could see-

I climbed the skyscrapers

And the lofty tower

I saw the brilliance

Of the cruel power;

Roaming through the world,

As my traveler cease-

Nowhere nowhere could I found peace-

And then finally I went to cities

I went to slums, the villages

And the people there is-

I saw their struggle

Their weakness and strength-

Their pain and miseries

What all they meant-

I empathized with them

And their trembling faith

I supported them in their peaceful gait-

I fought for their rights

I felt their smiles

And with them, through them

As I walked for miles-

Suddenly I realized

I found peace

The unrest of my heart

Now cease to exist-

My wandering heart have found the nest

And this is the place

I have traveled best

For nothing is more wonderous

Than the human

Their life's a story

As deep as it can-

And here I belong

After all I roam

My traveler's heart

Finds a home-

2010-03-05T08:27:00.000-08:00

Often love gives us an opportunity to rise to greatness;

Few takes this and glorifies love.

2010-03-01T14:31:00.001-08:00

The beauty of unrequited love is its incompleteness;

The beauty of requited love is its satisfaction.

Labour Law in India

2009-10-18T17:17:00.001-07:00

Still today, even though

implemented in the Labour law

Hardly do they follow

Decades after the May Day

As the struggle of our fore-fathers decay

Under the grave of fear

Listen listen, oh brothers

There is nobody to hear

People even donot know

There exist such a law

Its illegal to make one work

Beyond the hour eight

That minimum pay do exist

In law book the Great

Yet rarely implemented in our people’s fate

This is such as much shame

That people are numb and maimed

In the grave of fear

There is nobody to hear

The death silence still prevail

In the Hippocratic cultural veil

As our nation derail

In the pomp and show of glamour

The Have-nots do clamor

And it goes to deaf ear

In the realm of fear

Of ignornance, which reign

In the rat-race of the world

What did we do gain

It is only shame

Oh brother please hear

There is only a small life

Please do not fear”

Dard

2009-10-16T09:10:00.001-07:00

Dard itni bhi khubsoorat nahi

Ki uspe kabita likhi ja sake!

2009-09-17T19:46:00.000-07:00

Strength is no lack of kindness

Weakness is no compassion

Words gauge as much as deeds

Solitude is no salvation!

Public opinion

2009-07-06T09:13:00.001-07:00

Trust not in the thoughts of people

They vanishes just as bubbles blow!

Strange acts by a comman man are crazy

By a famous man, are trends to follow!!

Thoughts

2009-04-08T09:50:00.000-07:00

1) The lover is always be greater than the loved, just as a giver is greater than the receiver; provided he knows to love selflessly.

2) It is difficult for me to express my feelings, so I am a poet.

3) You may lie to the entire world, how would you lie to your own self.

4) I know not what is winning in love. I have loved just to lose everything willingly.

5) Do not depend on love, its too transitory a feeling.

6) When you seperate the humane factor from love, what remains is just the instinct.

7) I dare to run the risk of losing you in order to love in an idealistic way.

8) They do charity only for fame who cannot extend it to his family and friends.

9) Knowlegde without contribution is fruitless just as skills without creativity.

10) Let us give more emphasis to creativity than knowlege. Our education system fails terribly in this regard.

11) I would prefer beauty to imperfection,

I would value meaning more than beauty;

I would chose purpose rather than meaning,

I would regard contribution above all.

12) True love is not about how much you feel

But how much you care uncharitably.

It is not what you get out of it,

It is what you give.

13) When you give with pride, its charity

When you give with joy it is love.

14) When you are bored with cliches

You write quotes.

15) Don't believe in proverbs by famous men,

They are as erronous as any other statement.

Mohabaat

2009-03-08T22:29:00.000-07:00

Is duniya ne humse mohabaat na ki thi kabhi

Ki duniya ko mohabaat karna aaya hi na tha!

Love Unexpressed

2009-01-27T22:22:00.001-08:00

...And one day you might ask me

Why I didn't reveal my love to thee;

And still I won't answer nor mention-

That true love needs no expression.

2008-11-11T21:47:00.000-08:00

True love is essentially a one-sided affair.

Selfless love

2008-09-08T08:41:00.001-07:00

Love is love when selfless,
It exists forever nonetheless,
Selfless love isn't bound
Just for only one;
It spreads from one-
To everyone....

2008-07-30T08:31:00.000-07:00

You allure through tricks, deceit and illusion, I worship through my sacrifice, that is why you lose even after winning everything and I win the world even after losing all...

Nobody else will

2008-07-13T21:04:00.000-07:00

'There once lived a little girl who played with toys and balls;
She had stored in her room a bag full of dolls.

Once an old man came to her house and a question he posed,
"Of all the dolls that you have, which one do you love most?"

Out of the dolls - all gorgeous and sweet, she chose the ugliest one,
Ill-clad and with one leg broken, she told "Its this and none".

As the old man stood stunned, this did what she reveal-
"If I do not love this doll, nobody else will'

Let our love be like that.

(Poetry is mine not the story)

2008-06-27T20:16:00.000-07:00

Thou made my love illegal.

In the silence of thee

2008-01-25T00:00:00.000-08:00

"Words, those never ending words,

Could they ever explain me...

Feel, feel deep in your heart,

And then u will know me..

The child lost within you,

I am that child in thee;

The dream that illumines your eyes,

I enlive that dream of thee....

Like a bird as you wander all about,

In the dusk do come to me,

Deep within, unknown to the world,

I dwell in the silence of thee..."

2007-06-23T09:52:00.000-07:00

Wed my thoughts with thy ideals
Illumine my soul by thou sublimity;
So that a life worthful I live
And prove useful to the humanity.

Intezaar

2007-05-22T03:02:00.000-07:00

Do din ke mulaqato main
Kya rang bikher gaye
Hum aap se mile, milkar bhi
Aap se bichar gaye

Kya kahoo kaise bitayi maine
Tanhayiwon ke din
Hoto ki har sangeet byarth hai
Mere aap hi ke bin

Pal pal mujhe aapki
Yaad aati hai
Ped ki panchi
Aapki geet sunati hai

Door kahi se ek aahat aati hai
Chupke se kaano main
Koi kuch kehke jaati hai

Viyog ki yeh vedna
Hum kaise sahenge
Kya mere zindegi main
Kabhi lautke aayenge

Aap aaye yah naa aaye
Hum aapke naam se jiyenge
Door hi se hum aapse
yu pyar karenge

Suraj ki aakhri kiran mein
Didar karenge
Aur umar bhar yu aapka
Hum intezar karenge...

Ankahi baatein

2007-05-20T11:57:00.001-07:00

Mana ki zindegi main dost
Aaj tum ho paas
Tanhayi ke is mausam main
Hain tumhara ehsaas

Kabhi kabhi maan niharti hain
Hokar yun majboor
Dhire dhire jaa rahe hoon
Tum mujhse kahi door

Dwar humne bhi khol rakhe hain
Yun aane jaane ki
Shran bhar ki bhabna hain mohabbat
Kisi ko zeevan bhar ke liye paane ki

Kaal tum bhi toh chaale jaoge
Mere shreetij ke us par
Kisi aur ke nigaho main dhoodoge
Phir se zindegi ka pyar

Us par se agar phir dekho bhi tum
Mudhke mujhe ek bar
Nahi bulaungi tumko main
Aapne liye ispar

Tanhayi ka aalam joh aaj hai
Shayad kal bhi reh jaye
Mahak phulo ka shaban main
Dhulkar beh jaye

Darde dil ko dard ki
Aaj shikya nahi
Anjani meri woh bate
Rahegi humesha aankahi...

Sukhe Jasbat

2007-05-20T11:44:00.000-07:00

Sukhe sukhe din hai mere
Rukhe rukhe hai jasbaat
Aaj tanhayi ke mausam main
Bol kabita kyun tu nahi hai saath

Jasbat kya tu mar chuka hai
Sangeet kya bhul gayi hai taan
Kanan ki woh madhur koyal
Kya bhul gayi hai apni gaan

Aaj bhi panchi dur gagan main
Zeevan sangeet sunati hai
Chand aaj bhi raaton main
Chandni phyallati hain

Gagan aaj bhi raaton main
Hazar diye jalati hain
Indradanush saath rangon se
Jivan ko sajati hain

Phir bhi aai dil batade mujhko
Aaj kyun tu nahi gaati
Dard main bhi nigahe meri
Tu kyun bhar nahi aati

Mana ki sapney dhub chuki hain
Mana amabash main nahi hain noor
Phir bhi aai kabita mere
Tu zindegi se hain kyun itni door...

Paribhasha

2007-05-15T00:20:00.000-07:00

Hoto ke Jhute hasi ke piche
Hai kitne gum chupe huye
Is nigaho ki masti ke piche
Hai kitne aasu ruke huye
Maine kabhi na kaha kisi se
Dil main kitne gum hai chupe huye

Naa jana kisi tanhayiyoo main
Kitni aahe mai leti hoon
Kise thodkor khamosh raaton main
Apne aapko khoti hoon

Kabita bankar kiski yaad
Rehti hain is dil main
Hoto se jo bayan hoti hain
Diwano ki mehfil main

Kisi ne naa jana tha ki
Kya hai yeh silsila
Bhavnayo ko yuh sajaane ki prerna
Mujhko kisse mila

Kaun hai joh nur bankar
In palko par rehta hai
Zindegi yeh khubsurat hai
Har pal mujhse kehta hain

Joh bhi roop do, hai toh woh baas
Is zeevan ki prerna
Tanhayiyon main jalayi huyi
Main har diye ki saadna

Nirasha main aasha ban kar
Pal pal woh rehta hai
Khusboo bankar mere aangan ke
Chaaro aur woh behta hain

Bejuban dil ki hain woh ek
Madhur karun bhasha
Du main use kya is zeevan ki
Mohabaat ki paribhasha..

Bedardi

2007-04-04T10:00:00.000-07:00

Naina bichaye aas lagaye
Pal pal humne intezar kiya
Bedarde sanam tumne kyun
Humko yu inkar kiya

Tumne kabhi socha nahi
Mere saare sapne toot gaye
Tum jo roothe, hoto se mere
Sangeet jaise choot gaye

Tumne naa jana sapno mein mere
Kitni dafa tum aati ho
Marichika ke bhati in ingaho ko
Kis tarah se sarsati ho

Zindegi ka noor bankar
Umeed tum dilati ho
Phir achanat kahi kho kar
Tanhayi mein rulati ho

Phir bhi yeh aasha hai meri
Rahon main tumhare phool khile
Hum ko tum milena sahi
Tumhe man ka meet zaroor mile

Hum toh teri yado se hi
Aashiyan apna basayenge
Hakikat main naa sahi
Khwabo main tumko hum payenge

Sapne tumhare sakar ho
Yahi duwa ke geet hum gayenge
Tumhare hoto ki haasi dekh hi
Hum sada muskurayenge

Let thy love be my inspiration

2007-02-24T22:35:00.000-08:00

I aspire thy love which comes to me
Through unseen paths not known,
It touches deep into my soul
Yet to the world not shown.

A love that circumscribes like the sunshine bright
And flows through the veins as a silent plight-
A love that asks nothing in return for all that one gives
A love that remains always beside far though it lives.

A love that is no infatuation
A love that knows no possession;
A love that means only sacrifice
And eliminates the pain
A love that remains always loyal
In sunlight or in rain.

A love that believes only in giving
A trust that adds life to my living;
A faith that guides from all vice
A feeling - innocent, serene and nice.

Let thy love come to me in such form oh dear-
So that it shakes off from my heart
All shame and all fear;
So that it brings me from dark
To ever-augmenting luminosity,
Let thy love inspire my life
Towards the heights of sublimity.

Kavita - 2

2007-02-07T00:04:00.000-08:00

Ai kavita meri tu chala ja kahi
Naa karni mujhe aur tujhse baat
Na madhosh hona hai mujhe un nagmo mein
Naa khona hai khudhko le khwabo ki barat-

Sapne mere kho gaye hai aaj
Kale badal ke chao mein
Farebi ka dhuwa cha gaya hai
Mere in nigaho mein

Jhoot ki duniya aaj
Khubsoorati dikhai deti nahi
Bachpan ki woh masumiwat
Chali gayi hai dur kahi

Dekha hai maine anath shishu ko
Andhere raato mein rote huwe
Dekha hai kamjoro ke saath
Hardam annaya hote huwe

Maliko ko Dekha hai maine
Majdooro ka khun pite huwe
Kayi bhai beheno ko dekha hai
Sadako par jite huwe-

Netao ko dekha hai
Kaise chunao mein dhoka karte hai
Janata ka woh paisa loot kar
Tijori apne bharte hai

Majhab ke naam par dekha hai maine
Kai bar logo ko ladte huwe
Dange fasad mein dekha hai
Nirdosh logo ko marte huwe

Bekar yuvak Naukri ke liye
Kaise pagalon ki tarah ghumte firte hai
Ghar mein uske hamesha
Nirasha chayi rahti hai

Gunehgaro ko dekha maine
Azadi ki uddan bharte huwe
Begunaho ko dekha hai
Nyay ke chowkhat par marte huwe

Shayari meri aaj kho gayi hai
Zindegi ke andhakaro main
Kiya hai mujhse sawal
Aasuwo ke pukaron ne

Kya kabita meri aaj kisi ek bhi dil ko
Dastak de sakti hai
Kya meri shayari uske soye huwe
Insaniyat ko jaga sakti hai

I am the song of humanity

2007-01-21T23:34:00.000-08:00

I am the smile in the face of a child,
Or the tears from the eyes of a bride;
I am the song of a cuckoo bird,
That herald the spring of hope and love;
I am the raindrops of the clouds that fly,
Or the longings when you say goodbye;
I am the freedom in the vast blue sky
I am the innocence when your babies cry;
I am the vastness of deep blue ocean,
I am the depth of your emotion;

I am the justice for which you fight,
I am the sweat which is a worker's pride;
I am the song which you murmur,
I am the toil of a farmer;
I am honesty which is unsold,
I am the principles you uphold;
I am the truth, I am the vision,
You may sacrifice your life for which mission;

That which ties you all together,
I am that feeling of fraternity;
The joy that knows no selfishness-
I am that sense of equality;

Beyond the circumference of joy and moan,
I am that stage of tranquility;
The melody which sings of eternal love,
I am that song of humanity.

Purane dino ki tarah

2007-01-12T08:26:00.001-08:00

Mere har sur mein, har taal mein
Zindegi ke har khayal mein
Aaj piya tum phir se
Aate kyun nahi
Punare dino ki tarah
Kahi aas paas tum
Nazar ate kyun nahi

Dur badalon mein chup gaya hai
Joh chand aaj sharmakar
Nigahe meri dhunde use
Har gali har raha par

Sigdha shamo mein teri shant baate
Dil ko chu jata kyun nahi
Purane dino ki tarah
Kahi aas paas tum
Nazar ate kyun nahi

Yad hai kabhi saath baith kar
Karte the sukh dukh ki baate
Zindegi ke raho mein
Kabhi ho jati thi mulakate

Un viran galiyon par
Aaj tanha chalti hoon mai
Tum ate kyun nahi
Purane dino ki tarah
Kahi aas paas tum
Nazar ate kyun nahi

Subah ki pehli kiran mein
Ek saya sa jhalakta hai
Woh saya dekhkar kadme meri
Us wor chala jata hai
Kuch dur jakar woh saya phir
Nazar ata kyun nahi
Purane dino ki tarah
Kahi aas paas tum
Nazar ate kyun nahi

Woh chaya kya ek hakikat hai
Wah sirf kalpana hai mere pyar ka
Wah phir kya woh paigam hai
Tumhare intezaar ka
Puchti hoon mai yeh zindegi se
Yeh kuch kehta kyun nahi
Purane dino ki tarah
Kahi aas paas woh
Nazar ata kyun nahi

Kabita

2006-10-26T06:40:00.000-07:00

Aai kabita mujko bata de
kyon tu chut gayi hai mujhe
Dundu tanha raato mein
Tujhe bitee dino ki baato mein
Un aadhe adhure mulakato mein
Kyun chut gayi hai mujhse
Aai kabita mujhko bata de
Kyun tu ruth gayi hai mujse

Tere haatho mein haath lekar
Jab mein tanha galiyon se gujarti thi
Chandi mein aasu mere
Sitaro jaise chamakti thi
Tere saath to zindegi ke
Dard bhi mujhe khubsurat lage
Bin tere yeh nayan aaj bitaye raate
Sukhe palko mein jage jage

Khoye hue khwab dekho aaj
Bikhre pare hai aangan mein
Bhige Bhige palko ko bhi to
Chah teri hai sawan mein
Sangeet ka maan phank lagakar
Urna chahti hai bar bar
Khwab mere dekho tujhe bulaye
Aaj aasman ke us par

Tune hi to zeena sikhaya
Tune hi dikhaye sapne
Tere hi madhosh nagmo par
Bane mere paraye bhi apne

Laute de mujhe mera khoya sapna
Lauta de mera zeevan sangeet
Mere dard bulaye tu laut ke aaja
Aai mere tanha lamho ka meet.

Kalpana

2006-09-05T03:24:00.000-07:00

Pata nahi yoh hakikat hai
Ya phir hai yoh meri kalpana
yah phir is tanha zindegi mein mere
Woh hai meri prerna

Sard subha ke oos mein
Ek saya sa jhalakta hai
Mai aage badu to oojhal hokar
Kahi door kho jata hai

Raat ki atithi bankar
Aata hai mere khwabon main
De jata hai kai sapney
Mere inn nigaho nein

Aasu bankar tapakta hain yoh
Meri har aah main
Ummid bankar ubharta hain
Zindegi ke har chaha main

Usi se zura hai
Mere har sangeet ka chand
Yaad usi ka deta hai
Man ko ek shashwat anand

Shritij ke us par se
Aata hai uska pukar
Sadiyon se ye nigahe meri
Shayad kare usi ka intezar.

Cost Of Liberty

2006-07-12T03:10:00.000-07:00

She was sitting in a dark room with tears in her eyes for she has just come back home after signing her divorce papers. As she sits down on the chair shattered, she remembers the day when she first met Raj in the college . He was a cool and calm guy and there was always something special about him which she had always liked but never disclosed to anyone. That something which she felt for him was not love for she considered love as a bondage. Seeing her mother being sandwiched between the household work and the boring routine office work and thereby finding no time for herself, no time to think what she wants to do in life and what her ambitions were, she decided never to marry. She always condemned the existing social system, where as marriage meant the end of women’s career and dreams. She was a freedom- loving girl, full of hopes and ambitions for the future. She often used to say, “I want to live to work and not work to live- there is so much to do in life and time is so less, life is so short.” But her dreams were not self-oriented. She could often be found discussing politics with her father, always questioning and debating about different topics of the then existing socio-political and economic situations. She was aware of the Growth of capitalism and the fast declining of socialism on the country leading to the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few. She was aware of the process of privatization of companies and computerization which was going to enhance greatly grave problem of unemployment in the country leading to more social crimes. She was quite vigilant about the growth of economic imperialism in the world – how the American goods are conquering the world market and the subsequent plight of Indian Industries. She knew that all these problems needed an immediate solution and she wanted to dedicate her life to find out solutions. Her inspiration were always the thrilling books of Russian revolution and the tales of the brave Chinese soldiers and their sacrifice which had always encouraged her for self-immolation for the sake of her principles. It was perhaps because of this that she did not want to take up the burden of a family life for she thought that she would not be able to manage both her mission and her family. This girl was so strong and so much committed to her views and outlook and yet there was another aspect of her life which she always wanted to hide from everyone and that was her loneliness. She was so different from others. Her ideas and views never matched with her companions and so she could never speak out her mind to anyone for she knew that it would be of no use, they will not understand her. She often used to get bored up with her friends talking about beautiful dress and cosmetics in which she had no interest. When she wanted to discuss her ideals with her friends, they never could make out what is speaking and ended up with the conclusion that she talks more works less. She had her own world of imagination in which she was all alone. This loneliness often lead her to depression and frustrations. What in fact she really wanted was love, support, inspiration and a true friend and well-wisher. Nobody knew that beneath these eyes that looked so emotionless and cold lies so much tears and pain. The girl who seemed self-sufficient from outside was so empty from within. Nevertheless she considered herself strong, strong enough to reject all her happiness, to deny her most intimate desires of heart, her most favourite dreams and and accept tears and solitude to put into practice the idealism of her life. Perhaps that was the reason why she rejected Raj when he had come to reveal himself to her. She knew that it was not him that she was rejecting but virtually she was rejecting herself of some of her innermost dreams, she was depriving herself of something that she wanted most in this world- love under the shelter of which she could securely unfold all her faults and all her pent up pains. When she came back home, she discovered that she had lost something for ever, something that perhaps she will never attain again. But even then outwardly she maintained her emotionless appearance and none could gauge the depth of her feelings because she was used to it, and used to her solitude, her pains and her tears, she said to herself., “Without love, life may be lonely, without money it may be difficult , but without an ideal, life becomes meaningless;” And by any means she was not going to make her life meaningless in any way. And since time is the best healer, she left her emotions in the hands of the time and tried to compromise with situations. But that compromise was never to be. Perhaps the very proverb on time was not suited to her. Everyday she tried to collect herself, concentrate on her duties, forget what had happened but it was not that easy for her. She was not as strong as she considered herself and not as determined. Her loneliness and frustration grew with each passing day and ultimately she had to give a second thought, “love may not be a bondage or a obstacle in the path of her ideals, it may be an inspiration too”, she said to the reflection of herself in the mirror,” I will take then risk, for I can’t do otherwise”. Hardly had she known those moments of weakness would cost her a lot of future. So this time when Raj approached, she did not stop him. Instead she told him all about herself, her dreams, her weakness, her ethics and principles and her depressions. He heard them all but may be could not understand many. He accepted her with all the ambitions and ideals, he had grown so blind in love. Blind indeed she also had became, and that is why inspite of being so matured, she did not realize at that time that idealism and principles are not build in a day, it needs a great lot of experience, understanding and also reading. Nevertheless, the days spent thereafter were the happiest she could ever recollect. The most wonderful day of her life was of course the date of her wedding with Raj, when the two souls were united ( but not forever). Days after the marriage were happy and peaceful but before long their difference of opinions and thoughts came to the surface. Raj was a family oriented man, quite materialistic in outlook as a family man perhaps should be and wanted his wife to be so. But she was quite different. After her office-work, she spent hours in the trade union office discussing politics with her colleagues and eventually she could not give due time to her husband and family. To the utter disapproval of her husband she used to spent a lot of money for the welfare of the employees unions, their rights and demands. Being engaged with so much activities outside, at home she was found quite indifferent and unmindful. She always used to forget to do one thing or the other and the family life suffered. Clashes increased between the couples and their sweet relationship took a bitter turn. The ultimate blow to their uncontended relation came on the date of their wedding anniversary. Raj waited for her at home right from the sunset but she was so much engrossed in the meeting discussing the problems of the workers that she forgot everything. She came home late at night as usual. Raj was annoyed but as always did not say anything, his silence expressed everything to her. She apologized but it was of no use. The next day when Raj put the divorce papers on her table she burst into tears. She knew that she could not claim anything from him for as a wife she was not able to give any happiness. Although she needed him most , she could not demand or ask. She also could not leave the path in which she was going. Once again she found herself as lonely as she was before meeting Raj. She was shattered. She could only have the enough strength to go to the court and sign the divorce papers. After coming back home as she sat in the dark room all alone, with life, recollecting those good old days, once again a voice seemed to tell her in her ears-

“Without love life may be lonely,
Without money, it may be difficult,
But without an ideal, life is meaningless.”

Life need not be happy but needs to be worthful. The problem of exploitation of the weaker sections of the society, the grievances, plight of the working class was still there. There is still so much to be done and time is so less, so she must stand up. The only regret that remains in her heart is that – she who always loved justice and fought for justice of people, could not be just with her husband, the person whom she cared the most in the world. She considered herself solely responsible for the pain and injustice with her husband and this feeling of guilt will always remain with her. She will always love her as she could not do otherwise and will pray for his happiness and prosperity. Some love perhaps are fated to live only as a poem in the pages of our life-history. But she should not stop, she have to move on. The voice of the proletariat is still calling her and so she must go in response to the unfettered call of love,- love of the life.

Sapney

2006-07-07T01:47:00.000-07:00

Mana ki sapney sunhaney hote hai
Par zindegi yeh mera koi sapna toh nahi
Chandni jo faillaye raat bhar dharti mein
Woh chand mera koi apna to nahi.

Rehne do us chand ko mere
Sitaron ke aangan mein
Main bhala kyun mangu use
Apne khali daman mein

Aachal hai choti meri
Samet naa usko payegi
Khwabo ke galion se guzarkar
Jaab hakikat se takrayegi

Hum to chandni raaton mein
Baas usko dekha karenge
Tanhayi mein kabhi baithe bhaithe
Sapney sajaya karenge

Sapney agar hai khoobsurat itni
Toh woh bhala ek jhoot hi sahi
Do pal ki agar yeh khusi de dil ko
Toh mujhe nindh se kabhi jagana nahi

Zindegi ka yeh silsila
Jab shaam ko dhal jayega
Laakh bulayo tum is dil ko
Yeh lout ke fir naa aayega

Yaad karoge ki kabhi ek
Shayera hua karti thi
Joh kamoshi mein kahi door se
Wafaa nibhaya karti thi

2006-07-04T02:50:00.000-07:00

Main is duniya mein aai thi
Pyar dene ke lia aur pyar pane ke lia-
Woh pyar mujhe nahi mila
Isliye main jaa rahi is duniya se
Kisi aur duniya mein
Prem ki talash mein..

Mere jane ke baad
Aai mere dost
Agar kabhi tumhe meri yaad aaye
To tum mayush na ho jana
Bas mere kabitayo ke kitab ko
Aapne sine se lagakar kehna-
"Dost maine tumhe pehchana hai
Tumhe paya hai"

Tabhi main samjungi-
Mere is zindegi main aana
Aur zindegi se eu mohabaat karna
Kabhi byarth nahi gaya.

Bandhan

2006-06-25T02:22:00.000-07:00

Mana ki tumhare saath
Hogi hasin mere din aur raath
Zanaath se bhi khubsurat hogi
Meri yeh zindegi
Phir bhi ghar mein jo hai tute fute
Riste hai kuch sache jhute
Unhe to main chor kar
Naa zaa saki thi kabhi

Love my song

2006-06-17T06:07:00.001-07:00

Love my song and not me
Oh, friend of my soul, goodbye-
You will not know to compose a pain
How many tears role by.

Far there on a flower garden
Sang a bird all day;
The song all heard, but forgot the bird
Who at the dusk flew away.

I am but a wandering cloud
Travelling from land to land;
But my poems will share your heart
And inspire you till the end.

And then one day, on a calm spring dusk
Long after I am gone;
Share our tales with a caring friend,
For the sake of our song, unsung.

2006-06-17T06:05:00.000-07:00

Illumine the world around you
By the brilliance of your personality;
So when you leave the world
Cry the entire humanity.

You came to my life

2006-06-17T05:28:00.000-07:00

Like a storm you came to my life
And revolutionised my inner self,
I realised a dream far beyond
Worldly joy, pleasures or pelf.

A dream that was to transform myself
A truth of life I had never known;
From illusion to knowledge,from fear to freedom
A ray of light, you have shown.

My imagination got flared up
By the blaze of your ideal;
I discovered myself waking from slumber
Into a world, genuine and real.

Your burning instance gave me the zeal
And an ever-illuminating inspiration;
With that courage, I voyaged on a journey
Ahead to the goal of perfection.

You showed me the path and I proceeded
To know in the world, my real worth
With unflinching faith and undaunted spirit
Towards absolute bliss and eternal mirth.

Mohabaat Jaab tum the saath

2006-06-08T07:10:00.000-07:00

Mohabaat, Jab tum the saath,
Duniya yeh sunehari lagti thi
Lagti thi har kali pyaari
Chandni bhi us madhur gagan se
Karti thi mujhse shayari

Tumhi ne toh pyar karna sikhaya
Logo mein tha prem-bhav
Manabta ke aachal mein tha
Sneha, Shanti aur sadbhav

Aaj najane kaha gum gaye tum
Dhoondu tumko yeha woha
Nafrat phail gayi hai logo mein
Kho gaya hai tumhara Khwabo ka jahan

Dur gagan ki woh koyaliya
Kyon gati nahi hai prem-rag
Kho gayi hai logo mein kyon
Daya, insaniyat va anurag

Tumhare chale jane se yu
Tanha huyi meri har sham
Bat gayi hai insaniyat
Mazhab-bhaasha-jati ke naam

Shyamal kanan mein dekho kaise
Hai khoon ke chite phaile huye
Tumhare intezaar mein kabse
Naino ke diye hai jale huye

Anyaye va shoshan ki poudh
Kisne manushya mein hai boye
Tumhari hi yaadon mein maine
Kitne raate hai rooye

Neele gagan ke awara panchi
Puchti hai tumse hamesha
Kab hogi uske sur mein
Samya, Nyay va prem-bhasha

Mohabaat, teri yaadon mein
Mein asru anjali deti hoon
Ayoge tum is duniya mein phir se
Isi ummidh se jiti hoon

Love

2006-05-27T08:43:00.001-07:00

My love is pathosful,
Yet serene and full-bloom;
It lays me down at the bed of thorns,
And then renders me immune;

A love that beckons-
A truth that touches;
A plasm that sings of purple glow.

Melancholy strain and plaintive notes though
Touches every heart to the core;
Yet at the end, there's the thunderous blow
Of hope, strength, struggle and fight.
For a joy eternal and infinite-
In a soul bathed in the morning sun
At the highest zone of virginal light.

March for a grand victory

2006-05-27T08:22:00.000-07:00

Oh my heart, take me to the zone of light-
Where there is no moan, no plight;
Where the eyes can see beyond the horizon
Of private joy and selfish pride.

Where the song of soul is freedom
Freedom from illusion and cowardice;
Where in the eternal fight of life
Virtue prevails over the vice.

A mount from where the ears can hear
The pithiest call of the suffering millions-
And the feet can run to mingle-
In the ocean of mankind, at one summon.

I need, I need the courage and the strength
Nay, Nay, I lack it no more-
For the mind is awakened and spirit imbibed,
And time is knocking at the door.

The hour of final onslaught had struck
And I am ready with sword shapened;
To cut the chains and break the walls
Ahead for a victory, tremendous and grand.

Beauty

2006-04-16T06:24:00.000-07:00

Full with joy my heart fills
When you bloom like the daffodils;
In the morning sun, with a smile that heels-
The pains of all and all evil ruins
The goodness of your nature falls,
Over one and all whoever calls;
And I am bound to say in winter or spring
A calm bliss that your presence bring,
Through the clouds that float over mountain tops
In secret silence;
Your heart that speaks and soul that sings
Has always something in its deeper sense-
A peaceful dream, a love serene,
A tint of pure innocence.

Freedom of Humanity

2006-04-01T04:54:00.000-08:00

Amidst the hunger and amidst cold
Will rise the army in unity;
The workers, peasants and exploited class
Ahead for the freedom of humanity.

With the Red flag in the hand
And sprit of sacrifice in soul,
To protest against the injustice
And march towards the eternal goal.

A world of freedom and equality
Is the dream of the proleteriat,
'Equal share for equal work'
And co-operation in people's trait.

The night is now not too long,
Beyond horizon, I hear an ocean's song;
For the mass have awakened in unison-
They shrink no more, they fear no more
To bring about a revolution.

As you go away

2006-03-29T07:07:00.001-08:00

I remained watching the lonely way
Through the dry leaves as you go away,
You looked not back nor made reply
Days passed by and by;

I waited for thee
A whole night long,
If you come to me
Even in the dawn.

But I know not why
Wait ended not,
May be friend
You forgot,-

The days we passed
The song we sang,
All those ended
In a short span;

I thought one day,
You would come along,
Though the same lone path
After a short sojourn;

One tear fell, then became dry
Void inside me, like the vast blue sky,
Asked so many questions in deep silence
That echoed back to me;
You never came, you never knew,-
I remained waiting for thee.

खून की रंगोली

2006-03-01T03:15:00.000-08:00

मृतु जहाँ आस पास हो
और जिन्देगी बहुत दूर
समय के उस घाट खरी है
आज भारत्-वासी हो मजबुर

किसी की कंगन टुट रही है
तो किसी की राखी है मजबूर
किसी दुल्हन के माथे से देखो
कोई पोछ राहा है सिन्दुर

किसी माँ के आँचल में आज
मर रही है उसकी सन्तान
कोयल के उस सुरिले धून में
बज रही है प्रलय की तान

मझब की बेदी में आज
इन्सानियत चढती है बली
हरि-भरी उस हरियाली में
खून की होती है रंगोली

कहाँ है मेर वोह सुन्हरा देश
जिसकी शाहीदो ने की थी कल्पना
मैं और तुम के इस द्वन्द में
'हम्' शब्द बन गय हैं अन्जना

शाहीदों के रुह देती है
आज विवेक को चुनौती-
क्या आज का जवान दे सकेगा फिर से
अपनी जान की अहुती?

न्याय और एकता के अदर्श से क्या
सज सकेगा यह भारत वर्ष,
याँ फिर धर्म के नाम पर चलता रहेगा
यह खून की होली
और यह मिथ्या संघर्श्!

Insane

2006-02-13T00:28:00.000-08:00

I may use a thousand words to define me,
But all will go in vain-
At the end of the day, should I say,-
U will simply call me insane.

I fear not being named so,
I dare take the stride-
All the conventional rules
I simply refuse to abide.

I choose to lead life that way
I care not being left alone,
So what if I have to die,
Unheard-unsung-unknown.

I break and shatter all the bounds
I prefer to be recklessly free
Like a wild wind I move
And invest for life in spree.

Yaad Aati hai

2006-02-10T00:20:00.000-08:00

Yaad aati hai mujko
Kuch adhuri si baat
Kuch tute riste
Kuch khoye mulakat
Yaad aati hai

Yaad ati hai mujko
Woh aasu roe
Dil mein daabi
Woh dard soe
Yaad aati hai

Tumko bhi kya yaad hogi wo lamhe
Chand tute vaade, chand ruthe din
Yaad aati hogi kya tumko bhi
Umang bhare woh din

Dard yeh purana hua
Bate bhi purani hui
Tere mere dil ki
Kahani bhi purani hui
Phir bhi kyon tanha lage
Aaj zindegi tere bin
Yaad aati hai najane kyon
Mujhe bite hue woh din

Aasu bhi aaj ruk chuki hai
Murcha gayi hai phool
Phir bhi teri mahak phailaye
Mere aangan ke do gul

Din yeh mahina huya
Mahine bane saal
Mai bhi shayad bhool chuki hoon
Tumhari yaadein filhaal

Phir bhi jaane kiski raahe dekhe
Mere yeh do aakhi
Sab kuch khatam huya phir bhi
Kuch toh reh gaya hai baaki

Ek Rista

2006-01-30T06:57:00.000-08:00

Tere mere bich jo hai ek rista
Isko koi naam na do
Isk keh kar is riste ko
Zamaane ka badnaam na do

Ehsaas jo jaga hai maan mein
Use eu hi tum panapne do
Kali jo mehki hai ban mein
Use gul bankar khilne do

Zeevan ka dor kamjoor bara
Na jane kab yeh toot jaye
Bebafa naseeb kyon jaane kab
Hum se yuhi rooth jaye

Raha mein yu chalte chalte
Saath kabhi ye toot jaye
Milan ka bahar is zeevan mein
Phir kabhi, aye na aye

Hum to tere yaadon mein
Har roz shayari kiya karenge
Tere naam ke deep tulsi ke tale
Har shaam ko dia karenge

Darna nahi ki ayungi na mein
Kabhi tere paas mein
Smriti ban kar chupi rahungi
Tere dil ke ehsaas mein

Daag nahi lagne dungi mein
Tere paak daman mein
Kabhi gul bankar mehka karungi
Tere ghar ke aangan mein

Fiza bankar cha jaaungi mein
Har barasta sawan mein
Prakash ban kar prerna dungi
Andhere bhare is zeevan mein

Agar kabhi zindegi mein
Tujhko meri yaad aaye
Prerna ke roop mein mujhe paane ko
Tera yeh dil bulaye

Toh payoge mujhe tum kisi
Masoom bache ke muskan mein
Ya phir kisi urte huye
Panchi ke paygaam mein

Na dhoodna mujhe door sitaro mein
Aye mere man ke meet
Rahungi mein paas tumhare
Banke tumhari zeevan sangeet

Insanyat ke aasu

2006-01-07T01:23:00.000-08:00

Kaise main kangan khankau
Main kaise bandhu payal
Saamne jaha hai sathiya mere
Byakul, pihrit, ghayal

Kaise woha main bindia chamkau
Jaha chaya hua ho andhera
Kajal lagau kaise un naino pe
Jaha behta ho aasu mera

Kaise gaun main khusi ke geet
Jaha bhukh aur mout hai chaya
Pyar ke badle jaha logo ne
Apmaan, tiraskar hai paya

Insaniyat ko bata hai jaha
Sarhad ke diwaro ne
Moohabat ko luta hai
Mashab ke takraro ne

Waha par kaise baandhu main
Apne sukh ka sansar
Piya ke naam ka kaise karu main
Apne mathe pe sringar

Dil ki panchi nahi gaati jaha par
Azadi ki madhur sangeet
Hai annaye aur shosan ban gaye jaha
Duniya ki maha rit

Khoon se lipta hain jaha par
Manushya ka bartamaan atit
Woha madhoosh ban kaise gaun main
Mera apna jivan sangeet.

Mahal woha par kaise banaayu
Jaha jhoprion main basta hoon insaan
Pehenne ke na ho kaptra
Rahne ke lia na ho makaan

Sukhi roti ke lia jaha
Aurat bechti hoon maan
Thore se paiso ke lia zaha
Bhai bhai ka leta hoon jaan

Andh biswas ne jaha par
Vigyan ko sula dia ho
Chuyachut ne manushya ka
Maan karna bhula diya hoon

Agyanta jaha ku-sanskriti ko
Deti hoon ek naya janm
Woha kamna ke piche kaise bhagu main
Chorkar apna samajik karm

Asha hai aisa mouka mile
Luta du main is zindegi ko
Adarsh ki aag main yu zalau
Dikha du apni bandagi ko

Manabta ki azadi ke lia
Larti rahu yuhi zi kar
Zeevan apna main sarthak banayu
Aaj insaniyat ke aasu pi kar

Khwabo ka mahal mai thor du aaj

2005-12-23T05:06:00.000-08:00

Khwabo ka mahal mai thor du aaj
Kartabya ki rahe bulati hai
Insaniyat ka jasba aaj mujhse
Muhabbat ka balidan mangti hai

Aasuo ko mai rok lu aankho par
Jo kamjor karti hai dharkan ko
Sangram rah par nikal pari hoon
Tor moh ke har bandhan ko

Gar aaj kadmo ko na roka maine
To shayad kal kabhi naa rok payu
Yaa phir aaisa ho bhabishya main
Ki mai aatma-samman hi bhool jau

Dard tumhara to har koi sunega
Jab pukaroge tum mujhe rote rote
Sunega koun is dil ki ayaz
Jab yeh tooth jayega tumhe albida kehte

Tum to bebafaye ka ilzam dekar
Hume hamesha ke lia bhoola doge
Hume to gum bhulane ke lia
Shayad aasu bhi nasib na hoonge

Socha Tha

2005-12-21T23:52:00.000-08:00

Socha tha ki kabhi aapkke
Paas naa hum ayenge
Socha tha ki door hi se
Bafa hum nivaenge
Aap ne jab aakar humse
Hule dil yu pooch lia
Hum aapko yeh kaise bataye
Kitna apse pyar kia

Cham si ek ayaz hui
Yeh dil jo mera tut gaya
Kisi matyale basuri se jaise
Sangeet achanat rooth gaya
Aasu mera kabhi kah na saki tumhe
Darde dil ki daasta
Mere khamoshi ne dikha diya mujhe'
Tanhaiyo ka raasta

Hoto ke jo alfaz the mere
Yoh shayad is dil ka afsana na tha
Nigaho ki zuba meri
To tumne kabhi pehchana na tha
Dil ke kisse likh diye the maine
Sawan ke patto mein bhigi bhigi
Woh patta aaj bhi sard hawa mein
Tumhare Aangan se ho kar gujarti hogi
Bejuban patta kisi khirki se
Chupke se kabhi jhakti hogi
Us khuda se tumhare lia
Salamati ki duyae mangti hogi

Mazhaab aur Insaaniyat

2005-12-20T02:42:00.000-08:00

Khuli hai meri rahe aaj
Khali hai yeh nigahe aaj,
Bhar de inme aasu tu
Milan ki khusi mein
Gale aaj tu prem ki raag
In khamoshi mein

Bulaaye tujhko, bachpan ki masti
Barsaato mein woh kagaj ki kashti
Woh tuta khilowna, woh chuta jo saat
Woh raho mein chalna liye haatho mein haath

Na thhe tab hun hindu
Na tum Musalman
Dosti hi thhi apna Mazhab imaan
Phir kyun aaj yeh larai aur takrar
Yeh khoon ki holi
Yeh jhuta diwar

Dekho tum woh bachpan ki galiyan
Woh ped ki chao
Woh behti nadia
Inhone to hume aitraaj na kia
Yu milne se, prem ke khilne se

Prakriti ne ki to sabhi se pyar
Maa ki tarah humain dia dular
Phir kiyun hum banaaye diwar
Apne hi aangan mein
Nafrat ka kalank kiyun lagae hum
Apne hi daman mein

Tu kahe too chordu us bhagwan ko main
Jisto maine kabhi paaya hi nahi
Kya vaasta hai terah us allah se
Jo tere gum sunneh kabhi aaya hi nahi

Har taklif mein paayee main too terah hi haat
Tere sath bitaayi har gaamon ki raat
Phir puchti hoon main,- aye mere yaar
Kya kho baithi mol yoh aitbaar,
Yoh bafa, yoh niswarth pyar
Dekh mazhab ki uchi diwar

Nafrat ke saamne kya haar gayi aaj
Manushya manushya ki muhabaat
Kya choti par gayi mazhab ke saamne
Insaan ki insaaniyat.

Azad Panchi

2005-12-19T06:19:00.000-08:00

Hu main to ek azad panchi
Urta phirta mara mara-

Na zindegi se ho koi lagaon,
Na mout ka koi khouf tanao,
Na manjil ka ho koi kinara-
Hu main to ek azad panchi
Urta phirta mara mara-

Na samaj mujhe tu aawara baadal
Atma mukti hai udeshya humara,
Aur is udeshya par nisar hai
mera apna jevan sara

Na baanu kisi ghar ka chirag main
Banu aasman ka woh sitara
Khud jalkar bhi jo karta jaae
Har ek ke jivan mein ujiwara

Gata rahu main jivan sangeet
Banu har dukhi maan ka meet
Kabita ban kar karta jaau
Har nirash insaan ko prerit

Zindagi ko main aise jeeyu
Taki zindegi ka barh jaaye shan
Mrittu se mai likhke jayu
Samay ki reth par apna nishan

Kranti

2005-12-18T23:57:00.000-08:00

Tum mujko baas ek chingari do
Mai aag laga dungi
Har jawan dilo ke dharkan mein
Ek shola bharka dungi

Usi shole ke jwala se hogi
Kranti ki buniyad
Wohi kranti layegi
Pralay ki fariyad

Pralay hogi aaj ki
Is samaj byabastha ki
Pukar sunega har jawan
Ek navin ayaz ki

Yuva khoono se sichenge hum
Ek nai imarat
Usi imarat par banega
Ek mahan Bharat

Us Bharat main nahi hoga
Annaye shoshan ka raaj
Gathan hoga wohi par
Ek shoshan mukt samaj

Us samaj mein har ek ko milega
Roti, kapra, makan
Mehnat mutabik sabko milega
Aapne hisse ka dhaan

Mazhab ke naam par nahi lega koi
Ek duje ki jaan
Insaniyat hi hogi
Har bharatiyon ki pehchaan

Swarg se bhi sundar hoga
Yah desh hamara
Bharatvarsh ka navin uday
Dekhega yeh duniya saara.

Farewell, my love (voice from the heart of a soldier)

2005-12-18T22:26:00.000-08:00

Love though ye , Oh my love
Loved in the dark and shine,
Love though ye, Oh my love
I can’t stay being thine.

When the voice of duty calls
Bind me not by love-enthralls,
Touch me not by paining words
For self is not now mine.

Love though ye , Oh my love
Loved in the dark and shine,
Love though ye, Oh my love
I can’t stay being thine.

Far across the mountains and sands
The enemy’s troop captures the land,
I’ll go there to free the Mother
Look, she beckons in sigh.

Love though ye , Oh my love
Loved in the dark and shine,
Love though ye, Oh my love
I can’t stay being thine.

Come I may, but go I must
To give the blood and quench the thirst,
Of miles long hot dry dust
Be weather foul or fine.

Love though ye , Oh my love
Loved in the dark and shine,
Love though ye, Oh my love
I can’t stay being thine.

If I come back, Oh my love with glory to the goal
You and I will forever be united by the soul,
But if I kiss death, Oh my dear
Insult not love by frustrationg tears,
For my soul will love thee always
Love in the dark and shine,
My memories will inspire thee
And always remain thine.

Let the world know, our love is not
Just an illusive infatuation,
Let the world know it is but
A perenial source of inspiration.
Which liberates the mind and illumines the soul
And inspire heart towards great goal,
Which sacrifies itself unselfishly
When called for the sake of humanity,
And thus shows the world with brilliance
Its ever-radiating sublime beauty.

Bachpan ke yoh din

2005-12-18T01:02:00.000-08:00

Yaad ati hai mujko mere bachpan ke ke yoh din pyare
Yoh chota sa makan, yoh purane kamre
Yoh mithe rishte aur sapne sunehere
Yoh choti khwaishe, yoh suni diware
Yaad aati hai mujhko yoh din pyare.

Yoh khali kursi, yoh suna makan
Jinme the hazaro sapne, yoh hai aaj sunsan
Yaad dilati hai mujko yoh purane din
Joh aaj khamosh hai un sabke bin

Yoh aam ka ped, yoh snigdha chao
Yoh khula maidan, yoh pyara gaon
Yaad dilati hai yoh purane yaar
Zinme na the koi ved, na koi diwar

Yoh chale gaye hai aaj apne raho pe
Rah Gayi hai bas smriti in nigaho pe

Yoh masum si khusi, yoh chand bate
Chandni mein phir yoh mulakate
Unko kyon dohorae meri suni rate
Aaj un sabke bin
Yaad aati hai itni najane kyon
Mere bachpan ke woh din

Mazdoor hai hum

2005-12-18T00:46:00.000-08:00

Mazdoor hai hum,
Shoshan aur atyachar se
Mazboor hai hum.

Apne khoon pasine se
Banate hai bari-bari Imarat
Phir bhi sar jhukane ko
Aaj bhi kutiya ki hai zaroorat.

Hamari mehnat ke daulat se
Malik karte hai jo raj
Yeha ghar mein apne hai bache rahte
Dane dane ko mahutaj.

Phasal hum hi banate hai
Jite hai sara desh
Hamare khane ke lia
Bas sukhi roti hai abshesh.

Torna hai aaj bandhan sare
Chorna hai har ek dar
Apne haato se likhenge hum
Aaj apna mukaddar.

Shoshit janata aaj ek jut ho
Annaye ke khilaf karenge pratibad
Shoshan mukt ek samaj ke lia
Shuru karna hai aaj inqalab.

2005-12-18T00:43:00.000-08:00

Sawan ke mahine mein aaye the tum jo
Ja rahe hon yu patjhar se pehle hi
Thora sa pyar to tumne bhi kiya tha
Sari umar ka na sahi

2005-12-18T00:26:00.000-08:00

Mout mile to aaisa mile
Taki zindegi bhi zhuk kar kare salam-
Zindegi mile to aaisa mile
Mout na ho iska aakhri mukam...

Zindegi ke raho par

2005-12-18T00:20:00.000-08:00

Zindegi Ke un raaho par
Jinpe mera naam hai
Akela hai mujko chalna
Yahi niyati ka paigam hai-

Bandhan bankar baandh rakhe jo
Ho mujme aaisi koi chahat nahi
Isiliye aai dil mere tuhko
Pyar karne ki izaajat nahi

Alode Rays of Love

2005-12-18T00:15:00.000-08:00

I know not how the alode rays of your love, come to me
Through some unseen unknown trackless channels
In the form of inspiration for life..
It touches deep into my soul
and flows through my veins
It surrounds me like the brilliant sunshine
And gives me a freedom illumined.

Call for a Revolution

2005-12-18T00:07:00.000-08:00

When the heart no more could comply with the bounds
When fears could not dismay
When the chains couldn’t bind the soul
Of the fighters to proceed in the way.

Freedom, freedom was the song of the soul,
Freedom , freedom in the sky,
Struggle , struggle was the call of the day
Struggle for you and I.

One bird rose with the song of the soul
It was shot by the oppressor’s gun
But while dying his melancholy strain
Called millions to join the run.

From each drop of that fell on the soil
From the heart of the dying bird,
Another bird rose up
And the cry for liberty was heard.

Millions laid down their life
And rivers of blood flowed by,
And then finally the stars of freedom
Were found to shine in the sky.

Freedom now is in the song of the child
Freedom among youth and old,
But misconceived freedom made man reckless
And oblivious of the principles they should hold.

Corruption crept into the life blood,
Fraterity gave its way,
Once again the killings of innocent lives,
Shaded the shine of the day.

Injustice against the weak and the poor
Has culminated human rights,
Exploitation and class distinction
Has come to the limelight.

Once again is the need of a total change,
Listen to the call of a revolution,
Do the youths of today have the guts
To take up the flag of mission.

Who has the courage to take the lead,
Ready to risk the life;
To make the world a better place
For the posterity to survive?

Agar meri yaad aaye

2005-12-17T23:48:00.000-08:00

Sawan ke kisi shyaam mein
Agar tumko meri yaad aaye,
Bite dino the khatti mithi baate
Agar tumhara zia tarpaye-

To ek shital haya ka jhooka bankar
Mein paas aa jaongi
Kisi ped ki panchi bankar
Jivan geet sonaungi.

Woh sangeet sunkar agar tumhari
Aakhe kabhi bhaar aaye
Palko mein aasuon ko chupa lena
Taki kisi ko nazar na aaye

Kisi zharoke ke kone mein bhaitkar
Agar dekho tum meri rahe
Kabita bankar payegi mujhe
Tumhari dil ki har aahe

Phir bhi agar biti bate
Dard de jaye tumhare dil ko
Khwab samaj kar bhool jana
Tum meri har yaado ko.

Bhool jaana tum bachpan ka woh
Masumiyat bhara yarana
Bhool jana tum bheege bheeta
Rato ka yoh gana-

Sukhi phulon ka woh mala
Phek dena behti lehero mein
Bhula dena tum yaadein meri
Kisi ke chand se chehre mein-

Mein to aawara badal bankar
Tumhe dhoond lungi kabhi
Chandni bankar chupa dungi
Tumhare zindegi ke andheeyare sabhi

Tum baas kabhi akele mein
Kabita meri padh lia karna
Ya phir kabhi tanhai mein
Sangeet meri gungunaya karna

Main kabhi ek panchi bankar
Aangan mein tumhare aayungi
Subh kamanao ke geet gakar
Phir urh kar chaali jaungi.

Loneliness

2005-12-17T23:27:00.000-08:00

As I behold the drops outside
They peep through my window panes,
Deep inside some corner of my heart
I feel intense a lonely pain.

Lonely is my home so wide
So lonely are the lanes
Far above the lonely cloud
Shed pearl drops of rains.

Lonely is the cuckoo bird
All day who flies along
No one knows what pain is stored
In the melody of her song.

Away in the sea a lonely boat
Sails in the moonlit night
By and by it meets the horizon
And is lost beyond the sight.

Lonely always is the heart of a poet
Who writes the rhyme of life
In the melody of whose music
The soul of the world survive.

Lonely forever is the night's moon
Still it shines through field and hay,
And shows the path to some lonely travellers
In the dark, who loses their way.

Gone are the days when we together
Used to dance and sing song
But when loneliness is so spread all over
How can I be alone.

Valentine's Day

2005-12-17T02:37:00.000-08:00

Tell me, Oh my Valentine,
how do I wish thee!

When the world is full of sores and pains,
When the days are long devoid of rains,
When beside me crawl exploiters
Of cold blooded veins,
Unbound and free-
Tell me, Oh my Valentine,
How do I wish thee!

With what flowers do I tribute
When there are thorns,thorns all while,
When the child at my next door
Has forgotten her smile,
When for bread and cloth, women have
Their self- esteem to pay,
Tell me, Oh my Valentine,
How do celebrate the day!

How do I celebrate the night
With chicken roasted red,
When hungry children cry all the night
for a single piece of bread,
When a jobless brother in frustrations
Has to take the gun in hand,
Tell me, how I roam with thee
In gay hand in hand!

When the lanes of my childhood
Are devoid of bird’s song,
When drops of blood appear in the garden
Of flower and corn,
When stronger ones exploit the weak
And make them live in mourn,
Tell me, how I celebrate
The Valentine’s Day dawn!

Go, go my valentine,
Come not me near,
My life has been darkened by
My people’s grief and fear-

Perhaps in some other life,
I would be born to see,
My people free from fear and grief,
playing in the world with glee-

On that day my Valentine,
We will all laugh and enjoy,
By singing songs of liberty,
Love and joy.

Bondage

2005-12-17T02:24:00.000-08:00

In darkness and gloom I do remain
Ignorant of world’s beauty,
Unknown of the power of knowledge
Devoid of childhood gaity.

My dreams and joys are sold by parents
Only for just a few coins,
To the group of unfortunate labour children
I am compelled to join.

Snatched from my mother’s lap
I am sent under the master’s whip,
To abide by what they dictate
And feed on what they give.

I know not what dreams are
And how does the cuckoo sing,
I know not why the children run
When the school bell does ring.

I know not the joys of sports
And glories of victory there,
In the game of life, I have been
Nothing, but a failure.

Destined to do heavy routine work
Is only my life’s goal,
Added to that is injustice
Burdened upon my soul.

No! No! No more can I
Afford this compulsion,
I want to break the bounds
And march ahead towards my destination.

I want to fly like a bird in the vast blue sky
With wide wings of freedom,
And wonder about across the world
Of village, country and kingdom.

I want to be the king of my soul
And sing with the world together,
I too want to find my place on earth
Among all the others.

Struggle For Liberty

2005-12-17T02:15:00.000-08:00

Oh listen, listen to the voice,
For there the cuckoo cry;
We'll have to sail through the ocean of blood-
For the deep blue sky.

Here's misery and whips of tyranny ,
Pains, pathos outcry-
There the bird of liberty and freedom
Throughout the day fly.

Exploit us they, our feet being chained
But amidst darkness, the candle still flames-
Every drop of blood that runs through the veins
Sings Sings and says again-
Thousands of sacrifices is the demand of the day
Fight we must, though die we may.

Such victory always summmon blood-bath and martyrdom
Lets measure the nights of death and sacrifice
The brilliant sun there arise
To heel our hurts and charm souls with gaity
By the songs of justice and liberty.
