Orphan

Love is the only thing I want.
I’ve been rejected by all
I know it is the time for my downfall.
I! am an orphan.
An orphan! Who has all the living tissues and organs.
But living it is the last thing I do.
The only thing I woo.

All of it began one day
The day when I was born,
The day when all my dreams were torn,
My parents weren’t there to take care
That’s why in the initial years life wasn’t fare.
But then I fought, fought hard to live.
I fought hard with life and death.
with living and with dead.
To me the souls of evil haunted.
But I stood in there path daunted!

“Hope against Hopen”

When there is darkness & the mood is sad,
When you feel the atmosphere around is gloomy & bad.
It is then the time that you gather your courage
And go for a voyage in the lanes of your mind.
Don’t you mind when others give you a look that’s blind.
Make the voyage in your heart with a mission in your soul.
You’ll do contemplation & introspection & may that be your only goal.

When things aren’t going right,
And you feel the situation’s a bit tight.
It’s time that you start moving across the seas.
The sea of purity, with the water’s of love.
Make the list of people who resemble to you – a bird called Dove.
Don’t live with your thoughts & talk them out,
Until out of the minds they flow,
So that negativity is unable to give you a blow.

Situations that are tight make you tough,
If you gather the courage,
You’ll be able to make a path on the roads that are rough,
You’ll get the confidence, the confidence to be.
If ever you feel, you aren’t able to make the path on the road,
Always remember the Lord, by your side who walks,
He has his strange ways,
to make you happy and gay.
He’ll never let you lose but only if you try,
you’ll reach your goal,
without making in your confidence porous holes.
There, always remember to “Hope against Hopen”.

SUCCESS

When there are highs and there are lows,
It’s you, who should remain tough,
The times a phase and it’s always on the run,
Never feel discouraged whatever may come.

It’s you, who is the creator of your destiny,
And it’s your creator who stands to give your testimony.
Success will be yours like it has never been,
And fame will be like what you have never seen.

To reach your goal you’ll have to break the maze,
And you’ll have to focus on the goal through the haze,
Never be afraid of the path you may have to tread.

Just keep moving………..
And on a boat of hard work you row
And the results will show.

This is Life…

Trying to understand life, I see myself strive,
Looking at the heavens in the morning light,
I look at you my LORD; I see hope & desire,
Then, when I look on the earth I see people burning their desire on a pyre.
I see a concoction of love and desire
& on the other hand I see hatred, that’s moved a level higher.
I see negativity, which I want to negate,
But then its there, there in the neo-natal,
There in the old man & in all men’s kith ‘n kin.
What funs’ goodness?
How does harmony help??
Why? Why are there people who always yelp?
Oh Lord! Why should there be Good & Bad?
Why? Why? Can’t there be only truth?
Why can’t there be only love?
Why can’t there be only hope?

Therav

Therav sa aa gaya hai zindagi mein aisa,
Jaise,ruk gai ho ghadi ki suian,
ruk gayi ho sagar ki lehren,
subah ke samay bhi chand taare de rahe ho pehre,
dhadkane hi ruk gayi ho,
zindagi maut ke dhaage se jhul rahi ho,
isi therav ka arth khoj raha hoon

jab kalam chalna band ho jaye,
jab koi kaam soojh na paye,
aise, yeh kaise pal hai,
ya fir mera jeevan hi ek chal hai,
isi therav ka arth khoj raha hoon

jaise, chad ki oor taake hai chakor,
jaise, surajmukhi jhuke sooraj ki oor,
pal bitte chale jaate hai,
fir bhi thahar jaati hai zindagi

jaise, zindagi kisi mor par ruk gayi ho,
kisi ke intezaar mein jhuk gayi ho
ghadi tik tik karti rehti hai,
samay ki dhar badalti rehti hai,
fir bhi, agar samay rukta nahi,
toh kyun vridavastha mein bhi yovan goonj uthta hai,
kyun maran uprant bhi aadmi ji uthta hai
agar yeh pal chal nahi toh aur kya hai?
zindagi ka sunehra sapna dekar bhi bhagwan vifal nahi toh aur kya hai?

My Shadows

They move by my side……….
Hiding secrets of my life.
“Oh, it is a dark , dark world “
this, is wat they say.
But my shadows they protect me
In every l’il way.

Oh! How much I love the burning lights,
‘coz then my trusted friends by my side.
Watching my every move,
Helping me sail along in life.

I can’t comprehend a life without them.
‘coz all in all, they, are at the helm.

Whether I’m wrong or right,
One things for sure,
They help me put on a fight,
‘coz they shake my conscience, when, I’m low,
they build my aplomb when I’m out,’coz of a blow.

They just say one thing to me
“I’ll be there by your side,
even when your soul leaves your body,
on some dark night,
whatever you do,
remember its always done by two.
When I’m by your side,
We shall win even in situations that are tight.
