Crossroads Of Life

At a crossroad of my life I today stand

Thinking what do I have today in my hand?

Turning back is not possible you said,

Much water has flown since we last met.

Going forward at same pace in the current direction,

I am warned of hidden perils in every situation.

Turning to the left or the right of the current path,

From the dear loved one I will most certainly depart.

Decisions in life we always make in haste,

Then have the hindsight of time going waste.

Not realizing that it was a lesson to be learnt,

Moving on with knowledge not to again get burnt.

We are Spiritual being living a human existence,

Learning is a part and parcel of ascendance.

Let me not lament for things mundane,

Next lesson to learn I am ready to face again.

A Shooting Star For Me And You

Once I saw a shooting star, 
falling from the sky. 
It lit up the darkness of the night, 
as it passed me by. 

So shiny did it seem to me, 
like a diamond placed up there. 
The long reddish tail behind it, 
seemed to be burning air. 

Scientists have a name for it, 
they call it a meteorite. 
But for me it is important differently, 
To make a wish with all my might. 

So I made a genuine wish, 
Let us see if it comes true. 
A wish to last till eternity, 
To give blessings for me and you.

Why Do You love Me ?

I wonder why he loves me so much 
Don't  know why he has faith in whatever I say.

Maybe with a few dreams in his eyes
He awaits a chance of his love to me to convey.

Upon not being able to talk to me
agitated and  imbalanced he seems to sway. 

Since when I am within his heart
This fact he tried to me convey

Quietly he came into my life
creating a place in my heart for him to stay.

Do I accept or reject
I am in a fix now what do I say?

These are the feelings of the heart
Complaints and grievances to whom do I convey.

I know fully well that our paths in life are different
But I am stuck in the ifs and buts today. 

This is just the quality of love
The waves of love sway sweetly and softly. 

Save us oh God from the evil eyes of the world
quietly and slowly let the waves sway.

Vo Humse Pyar Kyu Karte Hain

Na jaane vo humse itna pyar kyu karte hain,
Hamari baato par vo aitebar kyu karte hain.

Shyad ankho main kuch sapne liye,
Humse pyar jitane ka intazaar karte hain.

Hum se baat na hone pe,
pareshan se pagal se vo dikhte hain.

Na jaane kabse hum unke dil main sama gaye,
Yeah ahsas vo  mujhe dilane ki koshish karte hain.

Na jaane chupke sae vo mere dil main,
apni jagha bana gaye hain. 

Inkar kare, ya Ikrar kare,
kaisi duvidha mai hum aa gaye hain.

Shikwa shikayat hum kaise or kise kare
Yeah to bus dil ki baate hain.

Aysas hai humare raste hai alag,
Kintu paruntu mai hum atak gaye hain.

Yeah to pyar ki kefiyat hai
hawa ki meethi meethi laher hain.

Chupke se dhire se inhe bahane do
Duniya ki nazar na lage jaye kahin.

Christmas Fragrance in the Air

Christmas fragrance is in the air

Christmas fragrance is in the air,

As Christmas time is very near.

Time to now to spread Christmas cheer,

Lend a helping hand or lend an ear.

I sit alone  by the Christmas tree

,All are asleep so here it is only me.

There is a strange stillness in the air,

I think about my life sitting here.

Remembering Christmas's of the past,

Wondering why they passed so fast.

Not many years ago a Child was I,

Presents of mine I would gleefully spy.

Now, my children are all grown,

I am thankful that today they are home.

Christmas will come and Christmas will go,

Real presents is having them by me so.

As one moves ahead with time you see,

Spreading kindness and love is indeed free.

A smile to light up a face that is sad,

will earn you a good deed it is said.

So Merry Christmas to all of you,

Do have a lovely time please do.

Do not forget your elderly folks,

Your love and affection is all they carve.

Where love has gone

Stars shining up there so bright,

Please shine your cool white light.

Light up my  way in the dark night,

 that I reach my destination in sight.

My love comes down this street,

 Today after many days we will meet.

Please shine your light  indeed,

Stars do not disappoint me please.

Here she comes with flowers in her hair, 

I can see her from the street across here.

She awaits me besides the tree bare,

In the rain I see her stand and stare.

I must run to her though falling rain,

 Across the street I run but in vain.

I stand there and stare in pain,

She no longer stands by the lane. 

It was my imagination that I saw her,

 A year ago she died when a car hit her.

Awaiting me across the street there,

Like I see her besides the tree bare. 

During  the  Star lit nights,

I see her when I pass these streets.

But she vanishes from  my sight,

Leaving me searching throughout the night.

Like a puppet on a string

Her life is like that of a toy puppet,

that dances as you pull its strings. 

Her wooden body encloses a heart,

It became wooden with time,it seems.

Her emotionless eyes hide her pain,

like her body they are so lifeless.

She moves and works without any aim,

moving through life as if in a daze.

Invisible strings attached to her back,

Invisible strings are attached to her arms.

She has a heart but willpower she lacks,

Like a piece of wood she has no charms.

She dreams that one day she'll be free,

Go away by cutting strings with a knife.

Free from here how would her life be,

A loving human heart free to love imbibe.

No more a life of immense drudgery,

She will be a free person in society.

To enjoy her rights of citizenry

bondage chains will be cut permanently.

Dreams are dreams and can never become,

one has to move to make them reality.

God helps those who help themselves,

otherwise remain stuck in your inevitability.
