My Ungrateful Life
Millions at work for me for my life
Humans, animals, birds, bees, eggs,fish, insects, trees and plants
Farm produce, animal food, milk, oil, honey, aqua food and fruits
All for my best of living and comforts
One more day sanctioned to breathe prana the life-giving force
I consume with no gratitude
I am ashamed for mine is an ungrateful life
SANDS OF TIME
Time immemorial, time to time existence in form passed away.
Humans for a while are a memory in hearts of loved
In whom they are memory they also passed in the sands of time
In times’s grip are all, nothing without the clutch
Time sweeps all beings alongwith, try to know, it has gone by
Not a single left behind to see, only dust or in wide sky or in the heavens
While in present everything looks beautiful, wonderful, enchanting, admirable, lovely
Everything becomes earth, dust, soil, air
Acceptance of time of what it shows now, or else, no wait, it flies makes a tale

THE RIVER AND ME
THE RIVER AND ME
Somewhere Somehow The River takes birth on Earth
I too born in one part of Earth
As the flow continues more & more water collects
As I grew more & more experience collects
River crosses through mountains, terrains, forests, cities, villages
I cross through emotions, feelings, compassions, setbacks, people as body ages
The River journey feeds across, gives life, it enjoys
My journey goes on, feeding family, workers, paying taxes and interests, I enjoy
It just flows, no flowing back, ends up in vast Ocean
I came through, no looking back, end up in death in vast Endless Infinity
Yaar Suraj
Yaar Suraj!
Yaar Suraj! Mein bhi dekhraha hoon, jab se mein chota tha
Tum toh roz uday hote ho, doob the ho,
Tumne kabhi viram le hai?
Bus keh dalte hain ke tum aate ho jaate ho
Yun toh tum kabhi Suryodaya, Suryaastha hua hi nahi
Khayal karenge tum agar ek pal bhi agar viram karoge
Kya hoga hamari halaat, pakshi, machali, samandar jeevan ki, ped poudounki
Tum aisa nahi kar sakte, kyon ki tum apna yaar ho
Surya Narayan ho
Tumhe hum sab ki taraf se Shukriyaada Namostute!

Ohhh My Friend Sun!
Ooh Friend Sun! I am seeing you since I was a child
Everyday you come up and go down
Have you ever taken rest?
We keep telling you just come and just go
Actually there is no Sunrise and Sunset
Let us think for a while if you take rest
What will be of us Humans, Birds, Animals, Fish, Aqua Ocean life and Plants and Trees?
You cannot do so because You are My Friend You See!
You are the Sun God Narayan!
Thanks to You on behalf of All of us Namostute!
Ye Malum Nahi Tha
Ye Malum Nahi Tha
Budapa kitna bhayanak hai ye malum nahi tha
Apna mansooba ko hila de gi ye malum nahi tha
Apne dost bhi door ho jayenge ye malum nahi tha
Sab jigar ke tukde alag honge ye malum nahi tha
Chere pe ronak aahista ghata jaye gi ye malum nahi tha
kuch istarah tanhai me zindagii guzar jayegi ye malum nahi tha

I Didn’t Know
Old age is so horrifying, I didn’t know
My mind set is shaken by, I didn’t know
My friends would go far away, I didn’t know
All relations close to heart have moved away, I didn’t know
Brightness on the face slowly diminishes, I didn’t know
In aloneness life shall pass by, I didn’t know
Kya Baat Hai Dost
Wah! Kya Baat Hai Dost Akheer Tere Khabar Aayi
Idhar Sadiyaan Beet Gaye Intezar Me Hi
Tayari Toh Hamari Janaza Ka Horahi Thi
Nikal Pade Hum Jinda Tere Khabar Aate Hi
Translation in English
Alas! Oh My Friend!
Alas! Oh My Friend! At last your message has arrived
Here an era has passed by waiting
Preparation of my funeral procession was going on
I came back from dead as soon as your message came
A LOVEABLE LADY
A LOVEABLE LADY
Desirable lady many aspire
Blessed in possession feather in cap
Hold her in arms tight
Dream come true to embrace
Kiss her in public with pride
She is epitome of creativity
Performance criteria to earn
Sincere efforts of creation mandatory
Her admiration goes worldwide
Applause received to have clasped
Recipient’s karma phenomenal
In field one dreams of the beloved
The Loveable Filmfare’s Black Lady Award

THE HOURGLASS
THE HOURGLASS
Other day I purchased one hourglass a scarce commodity now
Looks simple antique vintage designed calls on for attraction
Made of brass superannuated letters engraved also says London 1885
Glass blocks sand known for transparency
It has been my latest play; sand falls down inverted starts again
Sand particles minute, every drop depicts gravity, heaps of sand change shape
Fascination for device watcher’s time stands still in enchantment
Flow smooth though, time runs out particles reveal fraction of seconds
With it during play stunned to know life moves so fast
Ordinarily in life‘s tenure its obscure, OMG! Time flies such speed
Amazing! Sand being pulled down concludes one time measure! Humans being pulled by sensual pleasures complete one cycle of life
Many such products or things inspire us to correct life in realization of blissful state
Ancient timing tool likewise has many things to tell and teach – THE HOURGLASS
ONCE UPON A TIME
ONCE UPON A TIME
Once Upon A Time —- Just Born
Pound of flesh full life
Fresh as morning full promises
Wrinkled skin closed eyes
Sound of cry to live life ahead
Once Upon A Time — 6 Months
Bright eyes penetrates heart
Smell of flesh fragrant deep breaths
Carried by all kisses received everywhere
Mother’s warmth fed for life
Once Upon A Time — One Year
Standing on legs balancing life
Innocence spills showered by love
Being lovely dressed wetting clothes
First year birth celebration passes by
Once Upon A Time —3 Years
Holding hands walking straight
Taught by signs learning language
Done wrong or right hugged and kissed
World wonders seen wonders world see
Once Upon A Time — 5 Years
Ready to school thoughts of play
First friends meet no blood relationships start
Teacher’s word ultimate life homeworks begin
Joy at peak world influence untouched
Once Upon A Time — 9 Years
Mischievous traits talent artistic aptitude show up
Right and wrong societal venom infuse
Getting smarter to be among smart world
Enthusiasm brings joy playful learning process
Once Upon A Time — 14 Years
Body metabolism changes felt
Sense of attraction towards other sex
Focus on deeds getting sharper
Ambitions start building up
Once Upon A Time — 18 Years
Emotions sentiments start making marks
Relationships formed remain in mind evermore
Grandiosity of appearance opulence of good health evince
All the more urge to love and to be loved
Once Upon A Time — 21 Years
Fixing goals actions to accomplish
Economic gains foremost priority
New circle of friends gala time
Good and bad habits form seeking pleasure
Once Upon A Time — 30 Years
Choosing life partner offsprings result
Life immersed in toto into worldly affairs
Best of times being spent
Success achieved aspiration to attain more successes
Once Upon A Time — 45 Years
Stress strain erupt from working and home ends
Life responsibilities at its peak
Materialistic accumulations all for happy moments
Sincere efforts hard work law of nature presents fruits
Once Upon A Time — 60 Years
Looking back life passed like a jiffy
Not all fortunately some tend towards spirituality
Memories bring solace agony of past times
Time in abundance for relaxation
Once Upon A Time — 75 Years
Most friends relatives vanish from scene
Wrinkled skin looks change unimaginable
Disease and disorders uninvited guests
Enhanced zeal to live cheerfully in smiles
Once Upon A Time — 90 Years
Back into cradle again but a little big
Feeble body fragile mind is the plight
Dependence to lead and conduct life
Consciousness still inspiring and illustrious
Once Upon A Time — After Death
Remembrances commemorations celebrate some for few days
Kith and kin crave in hearts times well spent
At places loved ones hang photos on wall seen in albums too
Once upon a time it all happens in human life
