An Unpaid Debt...

My hard work,

My pain,

Their glory,

Their gain.

An unpaid debt,

Was finally paid.

Not in cash; but in kind;

By giving this day; 

They always prayed..

It wasn't my honor,

It wasn't my reward.

It was my duty

Done with eternal beauty!!

When my name was called,

They walked down the red carpet.

On the way they thought,

She made us proud, lets blow the trumpets!!

Nayi Subah

Shaant vatavaran khushnuma nazara

Iss drishya ko do naino ne nihara.

Kanchan swaroop yeh kiran jab

Yeh gagan pe aise bikhre,

Mano nrip-nabh kiran-taaj pehan

Ghan-yaan par ghoomne nikle.

Koyal ki kook aur papeehe ki pihu

Ne ek naya saaz hai cheda,

Gheel-taal madhosh hue

Aur sara sansaar hai jhoom utha.

Ped pawan sang iss tarah

Kuch aisa nritya dikhaya,

Neelkanth bas bol pada

"Yeh kiski hai yeh maya?"

Shwet achal hai adig khada

Nihare apni vishal kaya,

Jharne iska gungaan karti

Iski har boond moti si lagti.

Phir yahi achal hai adig khada

Liye hue motiyon ki mala,

Na tha guroor use apne tan ka

Aaya abhinandan karne iss pratah kaal ka.

Suman-pushp ki mridu si kaya

Ne bhawron ka man hai bhaya,

Pushp surbhi ki chadar phailakar

Patto ne baahein phailakar,

Hai iss nazarein ka sawgat kiya.

Nayi subah aur naya umang

Manav soch mein hai mand-mand...........

Hey Jagnirmata! tune yeh sansaar banaya

Sabhi jano ko ek kutumb ka kehlaya,

Parantu yeh khoon ki lakeerein hai kyun?

Deshon mein sangram hai kyun?

Aatankwaad hai kyun? aur,

Dukhon ka sailaab hai kyun?

Hey Prabhu! mujhe bas itni shakti dena

Ki main in prashno ka uttar dhoond sakoon

Aur jan-jeewan ko ek NAYI SUBAH pradaan kar sakoon.............

Chandni Raat

Ek thi raat deewani,

Upar se yeh shama nirali.

Tha gol sa mukh uska,

Aur safed si uski jawaani.

Taare timtimate,

Jugnu chamchamate.

Arre! dekho idhar toh,

Chandamama kyun itne sharmate?

Parvat ke shikhar par

Door gagan mein,

Yeh shama hai bikhri-bikhri.

Taare chamakte kuch iss tarah,

Maano chand ko haraane nikle.

Hari ghaas par

Os ki boondein,

Heerein jaise lagti.

Taare chamakte,shama bikharti

Saare vatavaran ko chakachondh karte.

Chanchal sameer

Yun machal-machal kar,

Chandamama ko hai cheda.

Safed mukh kuch laal hua,

Aur baadalon ne ghera.

Phir tap-tap kar barkha aayi

Har taraf madhoshi chayi,

Chand ka mukh nikhar gaya.

Taare,baadal aur sameer sang,

Chandni raat ne ek naya avtar liya.............

Do Raahein

Ek akela rahi

Khada tha do raahe par,

Kaun si disha chunu main

Jeewan ki patwaar par.

Man chahe main jaoon videsh

Seekhoon unki bhaasha aur vesh-vibhesh,

Banaoon apne sapno ka aashiyaan,

Kamaoon dollar aur bas jaoon wahaan.

Pyar hai mujhe apne vatan se

Na chod kar ja sakoon kabhi,

Itni hariyaali, itni khushhaali

Aur maa-papa ka dulaar.

Na chuka sakoon main inke rin ko

Mujhe bas apne desh se pyar.

Main hoon asmanjas mein

Kyan karoon,kya na karoon,

Man aur pyar ke iss jung ko,

Kaise main suljha sakoon.

Tera naam lekar Aye Khuda!

Mere liye kar ek sahi fhaisla,

Bhavnao ki iss jung ko,

Kar tu mujhse fanaa.

Khuda ka fhaisla hai yeh doston

Pyar ki jeet hui aur man ki haar.

Mera vatan mujhe bula raha hai,

aa lag ja gale aur karle mujhse pyar.

Desh ki seva mera kartavya

Le jaoongi use unnati ke path par,

Hai yeh mera wada tujhse Ae Vatan!

Ab jiyoon,maroon issi maati par.

Sone ki chidiya ki hai pukaar...........

"Mere sang aa,Ae Hindustaani!

Tu kya karega videsh mein?

Yahaan rituen hai, tyohaar hai,

Fhoolon ki bahaar hai.

Taal hai, jharne hai,

Dekho kitne apne hai.

Ped ke chaav hai,

Khaane ko rasile aam hai.

Khet hai,khaliyaan hai,

Mere har ansh mein shaan hai.

Aur rahi ka jawaab.............

Kabhi tha main ek rahi,

Ab tune mujhe bana liya hai humrahi.

Hum saath mein mil kar bas;Yun ladeinge,

Magar tere aatmsamman par ek aanch na aane denge!!!!!!!!!!!

Farewell!!

School days are over,

Its time to say goodbye.

This last day of honour,

We'll cherish till our lifetime.

Parting will be painful,

As the time passes by.

We seek for THIER shoulder,

To hug and to cry.

Will we meet again?

This question haunts our mind.

Oh yes! my dear friend,

Its true friendship not a DEAD END!!!!
