MIND YOUR LANGUAGE

To swear and curse, or shout loudly, easy is.

Difficult very it is to say thank you, sorry and please.

But a lil self-control can help us a great deal.

As children learn what they see, think and feel.

Careful we must be, with our words and actions

If pick our  language up, our children; we will hear... Interjections.

So mind our language let us, for our Childrens sake.

Or suffer along with them we will,  a severe heart ache.

SUNNY SIDE

In life there is plenty of good and also bad,

We are many times happy and at times sad.

There's Sun and at times, there's shade.

To sadness, darkness n bad things, good bye bade.

Always look to the Sunny side, which is bright.

Ignoring negativity n dark, look forward to light.

Try to smile, even if troubled, sad and lonely;

Rely on God; look after you He will only.

Keep going ahead; your way, push n ******

Respect, love n implicitly in Him, trust.

LOOK UP TOWARDS THE SUNNY SIDE.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Appreciate her hard work, hardly a few

She hardly gets her due

Wish people would give her the respect due

HAPPY NURSES DAY

REFLECTION

Our parents alwaysssss, for ever live in our heart.

After all, of them, we are an important physical n emotional part.

Love us they unconditionally, whether we are dumb or smart;

Irrespective of our colour, brains or the looks we cart.

If hurt we are, leaving everything aside, towards us they dart.

Being a parent, is a difficult task, of good Parenthood, it's a part.

Of my parents, let me, a reflection be, after all, I am their very part.

MOTHER DARLING

A mother is a mother, just cannot be compared to any other.

Of course, you can rely on your father; but a mother is a mother.

An angel for her child, protecting it in a stormy weather.

Even if weak n docile, courage tremendous she will gather;

if endangered are her kids; anyone, she would try to smother.

Most lovingly, carefully, she, her child moulds painstakingly

sacrificing her own priorities and pleasures most willingly.

She even goes through pain n suffering, smiling endearingly;

teaching them the true values of life firmly with care; lovingly.

Accepts she, her child even if ugly, giving love unconditionally.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

ON MOTHER'S DAY

From Heavens above, my maid Dahi, was a wonderful gift I got.

What's unconditional love, by practising it; she easily us taught.

Bathed me, combed my hair and even bands for me, bought.

Climb trees she would; and fruits like gauva n custard-apple for me she got.

Or from her own money, green mangoes n berries for me, she bought.

Remember I, feasting on baked dry bombay-ducks n rotla, for me she brought.

From our garden big, collect she would, my favorite "bor" berries n got.

To protect my pet hens n their eggs, with others, she actually fought.

On the way, carrying me over puddles; what love was, me she taught.

For me she would warm food, because I would enjoy it hot.

Many times my Mom remark would, before your arrival, excited she got.

Bless her O Lord in Heaven, n her keep in Your arms. For this gift, I thank You a lot.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CELEBRATIONS

Mom and Dad, wonder I, if together you are both, in Heaven.

If yes, celebrating you will be your wedding anniversary sixty seven(th).

Your love for each other, was an example to follow n practice; to imbibe n learn.

For each other, wonderful was that doting, loving care and concern.

Happy in Heaven may you both be, reaping the sweet fruits sown here.

Miss you we tremendously do. Send us please, your blessings here.

તડપ

તડપ મારા દિલ ની, કદી ન તે જાણી.

આંખો વાંચી ન શક્યો તું;  બોલાઈ ન મારાથી વાણી

દિલ થઈ ગયું તારું; હું પોતે બની ગઈ એક અણજાણી.

આં દિલ પીસાઈ ગયું; આં દુનિયાં છે એક ઘાણી.

મારું દિલ થઈ ગયું પરાયું, પહોંચી એને હાની.

તે શું, તડપ મારા દિલની, કોઈએ કદી ન જાણી.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

इंतज़ार

चांद खिला है आज, पुर बहार,

देख उसे दिल हो रहा है बेकरार

याद आया है मुझे, मेरा
प्यार ।

सितारों की मानो निकली है बारात,

बड़ी दिलकश है यह रातों की रात,

पिया, काश मिल जाता मुझे तेरा साथ !!

ठंडी हवा बदन गुदगुदा रही है;

फूलों की सुहास हवाओं में घुल रही है ।

लगता है मुझे, घड़ी मिलनकी, यही सही है ।

आज प्रीतम से होगी मुलाकात,

होगी प्रेम भरी मीठी मीठी बात;

यूहीं इन बातों में, निकल जाएगी सारी रात ।

पतझड़ भी हो जाए बहार,

जब हो तेरी बाहों का हार।

यही तो है प्यार, जिसका है मुझे इंतज़ार ।

Armin Dutia Motashaw

REMEMBER

Let ego, wealth, differences, into a relationship, come not

Into these, followed by a verbal war, do not get caught

Difficult very it is, to re-establish relations, once you have fought

very dangerous is this web; into it, do not ever get caught.

Remember, our relationships  cannot be, with money bought.

They are as vital as oxygen, with care great, them we must sought.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

WONDER I

Irrespective of what you learn at school;

It is money and power that does rule.

It is because of these two, ordinary people become fools.

Politicians use muscle power as their tool;

If you have money n power; muscle power, simply drools.

Wonder I, why God remains so calm n cool.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

OH TO BE OLD !!!

When we grow old, the body so weak becomes; suddenly hurts  everything.

Mobility becomes a problem major n wish we, someone for us things could bring.

One cannot easily wear his clothes, button them or tie shoe strings.

A good singer in youth, now almost croaks or notes low, hardly sings.

Memory foresakes him; oh my !! Each time he forgets something.

Oh My God he mournfully says; "what did I just ask you to bring" ?

More money he spends at the doctor n on medicines he has to cling !!!

Food there may be plenty; but forbidden he is, to eat most of the things.

If eats he what he likes, complications arise; his favourite he can't home bring.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

હોય જો તારો સાથ

હઝારો હાથો વાળાનો હોય જ્યારે સાથ, તો શા માટે સંકોચ?

શા કાજ છે ચિંતા કે ડર; દૂરનું તું નહિ વિચાર કે સોચ;

દગમગશે, પડશે, તો બી આવશે નહીં તને કદી મોચ.

આંખો એની તને નીરખે સદા, કરે એ હર પળ તારી રક્ષા

બસ પ્રેમથી કર યાદ એને, માંગવાની જરૂર નથી ભિક્ષા.

એ પ્રેમાળ સખા છે, આપે ન કોઈને અજુગતી શિક્ષા.

હોય જો તારો સાથ, તો ચિંતા શેની મને, ઓ પરવર્દેગર;

તું તો છે, આં સકળ જગનો, એક માત્ર આધાર.

જોજે મારા કિરતાર, જગમાં કોઈ રહે નહી નિરાધાર.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Life is like weather; many changes it does bring.

To it whether good or bad, we dearly cling.

Sometimes rosy, cushy, fair, bright n clear.

At times stormy, gusty, very difficult to steer.

Change life does, in a fraction of a second

Surprises you any minute; remain you cannot slackened.

Your own, often bring in a weather cloudy.

Loving, caring actions suddenly turn rowdy.

Predictions one can, perhaps of weather change make;

But in life's predictions, one can easily make a mistake.

So prepared be my friend, for things good and bad;

Prepared be to remain surprised, happy or sad.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

વિનંતી કરૂ છુ, કર જોડીને તને
હસ્તી રમતી ઉપાડી લેજે તું, મને.
હવે દુઃખ સેહવવાની તાકાત નથી મુજમાં
સ્વીકાર કરે એવો વિશ્વાસ રાખું છું, તુઝમાં.

અંત સમયે હાથ પકડી, લઇ જવા આવજે તું.
આંખો બિછાવી, તારી રાહ જોઇશ હું.
સુંદર સંગીત ના સુર રેલાતા હોય હવામાં;
પછી વાર કેટલી, ઇન્દ્રધનુષમાં વિલીન થવામાં.

ન કાઈ ફરિયાદ, ન કાઈ ચિંતા, ન ડર;
આવીશ હું, બેઝિઝક, થઈને નીડર.
સાથ હોય જ્યાં તારો, અને વિશ્વાસ હોય તુઝમા;
તો આવવાની તમમણના
જાગેજ મુઝમાં.

મારું  પોટલું

તું મારું, મસ્તી થી ભરેલું પોટલું, પ્યારું છે.

દુનિયા માં આખી, સૌથી અનોખું અને ન્યારું છે.

તોફાની બારકસ ભલે હોય; પણ, વાહલું તું, મારું છે.

મારા જીવન માં આવેલું સુખ, વરદાન તારું છે.

તારા  વાણી-વર્તન માં તોફાન, તારી આંખોમાં મસ્તી;

આવે તને બહુ મઝા જ્યારે તારી વાતો માં હું ફસ્તી.

લાવે તું જીવનમાં રંગ; અને ઘરમાં અમારા લાગે વસ્તી.

પોટલાં તારા વગર ઘર લાગે સુનું સુનું; માંગે સૈા, તારી હસતી.

Ma loves you two, with all her heart.

खुशी

आखिर कहां छुपी है तु; थक गया हूं तुझे ढूढते ढूढते, ऐ खुशी।

बस्ती थी पहले हमेशा मेरे दिल में, अब बस है जहां उदासी, खामोशी ।

फिर एक बार आजा, बस जा इस दिल में, गमगीन है दिल तुझ बिन ओ खुशी ।

काश हर दिल में हमेशा बसे शांति, प्रसंता और तु, आे खुशी ।

Armin Dutia Motashaw

मिलन

खिला है चांद, पुर बहार, किए सोलह श्रंगार।
देख उसे, धड़कता दिल मेरा, करे यह पुकार;
"आजा प्रीतम, छाई है यहां बरखा बहार।"

रात आज लग रही है हसीन, बुंदोकी हो रही है फुहार।
खड़ी हूं मै, नैन बिछाए, किए सोलह श्रंगार
काश आज यह कातिल जुदाई की होजाए हार।

पिया- मिलन कि आश में, हो रही हूं बेकरार।
आयेंगे प्रीतम, करूंगी जी भरके प्यार
आज की रात होगा दो दिलों में, प्यारका इकरार।

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU MY ANGEL.

Wonder I, if someone asked me,

" Hum Aapke Hain kaun";

What would I them tell ?

She is My Masi Sasu !!!

Anyway, this World never would understand.

Mum, you were my soul mate, my everything.

Wonderful were those years I spent with you.

Remember I, how Vispi even teased you;

He said I was your daughter n he, your son-in-law

No Mom love would  their children, like you did.

When to heaven I come, receive me with arms open.

Love you and miss you my Jaan, I very much do.

Your loving daughter who adores you.

हे सूर्य देवता,

ऐ सूर्य, क्यों बरसाता है आकाश से, इतनी आग

कर रहम थोड़ा धरती पर भी, उजड़ रहे हैं यहां बाग

इतनेमे, " पेड़ क्यों काट रहे हो,"  बोला एक काग

"डाली बिना, मै बैठूं कहां; पूछे यह कोयल और काग

अब रोता है क्यों इतना; देख तेरे दामन के दाग;

बोला वो, ऐ मानव, अब यूह, गर्मी से डर के, तु न भाग

तुने ही फैलाई है यह गर्मी, यह तेरी ही लगाई हुई है आग

औरों को कष्ट दे कर, अब, यू न छाया मांग ।

अभी भी संभल जा, उठ,  तेरी नींद से जाग ;

पेड़ पौधे उगा, फिर देख, धरा खुद गाएंगी, वसंत राग

MY FIRST LOVE

Frightening looks the face, that out Peeps from the mirror;

Is it really her ; the one who, so easily stole my heart away.

Lovely dimples, teeth like pearls; flashing  a million dollar smile.

Eyes expressive, speaking volumes, that reached out a mile.

Her figure, that of a mermaid,  was so very perfect.

Nature, sweet as honey; which in everyone happiness could inject.

Looked like a fairy she, minus wings; in a beautiful white lace.

Today hurts me to see her so obese, with a wrinkled face.

As a kid, she was my first love; though much older than me.

Adored her I, with all my heart; our age difference I did not see.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

MEMORIES

Memories are treasures of the heart;

Of our existence, they are an integrated part.

Enter they deeply our heart n mind, like a sharp dart.

Precious, them I tenderly look after n carefully cart.

And often bring them out I do, in the form of this  art.

Hold them dearly I do; though that's not a move smart.

Good memories, I can't let go; of my existence, they are a part.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Lord,
Today ashamed You must be, of Your very own creation.

Men who are suffering from such wicked, brutal, inhuman fixation.

This heartless, headless human, cannot Your creation be;

You O Lord, full of wisdom, love and compassion are; how can there, a relation be.

All we can do is to request You to intervene, and this madness stop.

They just cannot endlessly people ******; like butchers they chop.

Help O Lord the dear ones of every victim, injured or dead.

Their loss irreparable is, but You I kindly request to heal their heart n head.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

SPECIALLY MADE

The Lord indeed must have made you with care great;

How else could you have been so perfect ?

Rarely does He make someone so wonderful, so perfect.

Lucky you are, to have blessed been, to extent this !!

Looks that can ****, so highly qualified with a character strong !!

No wonder people many, love you and they adore you, since long.

Of course, an admirer amongst them; I too am !!

You I adore and admire, with all my heart.

Blessings best, from Ahura be showered upon you!!

Wish you I, all the best, may Ahura grant you happiness all.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

A Lesson we all need to learn.

It's important to our bread earn

But there is also true relationships, for which we all yearn

Our sweat and blood to earn we burn;

But life sweeter would be, if we for our dear ones show concern.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

I wish to tell you.....

Your eyes azure blue, of the deep blue ocean, me remind.

Drank I, from their depths, as we together laughed n dined.

Your face so honest, sincere n beautiful, of an angel, us did remind.

Oh those dimples, when you smile,  only in a beautiful fairy one can find.

Ahura lovingly sculpted you, making you caring, loving n kind.

Incorporating in you, physical n mental beauty, all combind

Darling, once again , to get into my loving arms, would you mind?

Difficult it will be from Heaven to travel; but I know you won't mind.

Forget you how can I, my angel; live you forever in my heart n mind.

I miss you Mom

The Jashan at the foot steps of Demavand Koh

Thank You O kind Ahura, for this special moment that You send;

Ecstacy sheer it was, to this very special Jashan attend.

Felt Your presence, as if You were just round the bend.

Thank you sincerely for this wonderful opportunity that You, us sent.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

DISHEARTENED

God meant n created man to be a kind caring human being.

But very sad He must be, at what He is today seeing.

Man was supposed to be loving, caring, absolutely distinct.

Man very attrocitious has become; developed has, a killer instinct.

How very cruel man is; out he is to **** men, n nature destroy.

In the name of religion, he attrocities commits, even as a young boy.

Sad, very sad you must be on seeing this lowly, steep decline.

Imagine I can how you feel when your own children, these humans act like swine

Disheartened are you; Or disturbed at this behaviour so low ?

Wisdom grant them O Lord; so stop they this disgusting flow.

BOOMERANG

To it's sender, it's user, it returns back.

Escape there is none, it does it's own creator hack.

Faithful like a dog it is, who his tail at his owner does wag.

Carries with it, it always does, it's owner's tag.

A boomerang, it's owner's address, without trouble, find can.

Boomerang is our karma, from it, runaway you just cannot.

Once an act performed, in its web, you are for ever caught.

Fight your karma, please do not. Instead, just surrender.

willingly, your punishment bear; keeping your heart tender.

When accept  we the consequences; things easier become.

To endure pain or pleasure, God grants us strength some.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

True values lie within us, deep.

Do not them, in there, uselessly keep.

Bring them out, let them into public peep.

Let our virtues spread n into others seep.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST DAD

Thank you for being our Dad.
We are indeed lucky n I have no words to thank Mom n you.

God bless the gentleman who told us this; you being so unassuming, never did tell us this.

A gentleman knocked at Kashu's cabin asking her if he could come in. When in, he asked her if she was related to Mr K M Motashaw, when she said yes, he was my father in law, he said he held great respect for you and told her this.
When you were in court, a Justice entered n on seeing you bowed n greeted you, before the case began. This gentleman said, they were all taken aback.

We were aware that the judges knew you never took up cases, where the industrialists were in the wrong, but this was great !

I thank Ahura, for granting such wonderful parents unto us.
May He bless you both and keep you both under His wings.

Your children, Grandchildren n Great Grandchildren love you and wish you happinessssss alwayssss. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Pleeeeeease bless us from the Heavens above.

JOIN HANDS

Earlier I had appealed to everyone, instead of giving flowers, give a flower *** with a sappling, a bamboo or money plant.

Teach school children to sow fenugreek methi or corriander dhanya, they will learn a lot from this.

Just imagine every city's road with five rows of trees.. one in the centre n two on both sides of the foot paths.
Politicians, industrialists, military big bosses should all take up this MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE.

School n college kids, scouts, girl guides, NCC students should all take up this mission on war footing

वो बात

प्रीतम से ही छुपा के रखे थे मैंने, मेरे जो जज़्बात,  मेरी वो बात ;

जो छुपा के रखी थी, होटों तक आते आते, रह गई आज मेरे दिल की बात ;

हाथकड़ी पहना दी मैंने उन बातों को, रौंध दिए मैंने, मेरे ही जज़्बात ।

फिर गीत में मैंने ढाल दिए उन्हें; और लोग कहने लगे, "वाह वाह क्या बात" !!!

अश्कों को पीने की आदत हो गई है अब; छुपा लेती हूं मै मनकी बात

सीने में सुलग रही है बीरह की आग; पर होटों पर हसी बिछा के, दुःख को दे देती हूं मात

बस खुली आंखों से देख लेती हूं प्रीतम के साथ, एक बड़ी ही हसीन मुलाकात ।

सपने कहां कभी होते हैं अपने, वो तो मेहमान है; आते हैं जब छा जाती है रात

सुबह होते ही, गायब हो जाते है ; छोड़ देते है वो मेरा साथ !

पर ऐ दिल, पूछ जरा आंखोसे अपनी; सपने उसे आए कहां से, जब जागती है यह आंखे सारी रात ।

बोला दिल, "मालिक मेरे, सपनों में भी, रखना उन्हें खुशहाल हर पल, दिन हो या रात "।

काश एक दिन ऐसा आए, जब पी कह दे मुझे, मेरे ही दिलकी बात, जिसे सुन ने के लिए बेताब हूं मैं, दिन रात।

HAPPY EASTER

Dedicated to my grandchildren Freyanush n Zoishbano.

A hunting we will go today; for an Easter egg

Could it be in an Easter basket, hanging on a peg !

Find it you will, perhaps if you stretch your legs;

Taking some pains with a little extra care.

Hopefully there will be a cute cuddly Bunny in there.

I am telling you, I won't with anyone, him share.

With no one can I share my puppy, bunny or any other pet.

Eggs here will varied be, of marzipan or chocolate !

Colours green, yellow, blue, brown, pink or violet.

I hope I find a beautiful, tasty egg n one with a toy.

I hope I don't get a pink one; that's for a girl coy.

Hope it's a blue one, with pista marzipan, after all, I am a boy.

DEBT FULFILL

Towards mother Nature, we must show our care.

Our contribution in our own small way, with Her share.

It can be huge big or insignificantly small, but it's got to be there.

Let's just do our bit, need there is none, to compare.

Her flora and fauna should be under a human's duty n care.

Rear  Her endangered species, which become have rare.

Each one can at least grow house plants; for this, develop a flare

Save seeds and sow them, wherever you can; a tree a year, is fair.

Save it with your ideas innovative; water is becoming rare.

Work we must, to our debt fulfill and prove that for Her we deeply care.

GOOD FRIDAY

Misunderstandings n anger, a great saint killed.

With accusations useless, people Him, ruthlessly grilled

Into his soft flesh, big iron nails they drilled.

But His spirit strong to such attrocities did not yield.

Miscreants happy were that Him they gruesomely killed

Seeing  this, with sorrow n remorse, many hearts were filled.

Died He who taught love n Peace; but fate wasn't sealed.

Seeing Him rise on Easter, his followers were thrilled.

Live they who live for others in our heart; they can never be killed.

Oh miss I that childhood's sound sleep.

काश ऐसा हो जाए

थोड़ा सा प्यार, दूर से, तु क्यों न जताए;

पिया, तोरी याद मुझे दिन रात सताए

चांद में चेहरा तेरा नज़र आए

और ज़िल में से भी तु मुस्कुराए;

क्या करू, कहा जाऊ, कुछ समझ न आए !

कोयल की कूक से, दिल में हुक तु जगाए,

मयूर के नृत्य से भी, तेरी ही याद सताए ।

पुष्प के रंग और खुशबू भी मुझे तेरी ही याद दिलाए

पिया, काश मैं पंछी हो जाऊ, पंख मोहे आ जाए;

तो सब कुछ छोड़ कर, यह जोगन तेरे द्वार आए

मन ही मन सोचू, काश ऐसा कुछ हो पाए

तो मेरे देवता, नित दर्शन तेरे मिल जाए ।

FORMATION

At first things difficult and tiring will be, or even a pain;

But working constantly, tirelessly will bring success and gain.

Once habits good are formed; into your life daily, please them ingrain.

Then care great  take; from  lethargy, indifference n ego to refrain.

Stick to our habits good we must. To adhere to them be firm.

Much gained can be, if people actually follow this norm.

Habits good when part of life become; our character they form.

Then, upon our character, people even vouch and confirm.

To habits good form, should be our endeavour n concern.

Formation though difficult, inculcate this we must in ourselves n our Children.

This formation once complete, very rich dividends will earn.

Hope this important lesson of good habits every human does learn.

मैंने कहा था,  बचाना मेरे वृक्ष हरे भरे घटादार;

इन्हें बचानेकी बिनती की मैंने तुझे बार बार

बनके निडर, रेहते थे कितने पक्षी यहां, नर और नार ।

कोयल कूकती थी, तोते मेना आते थे झुंड में यहा

गिलहरिया हमेशा भागती थी यहां से वहां ।

पर सुनता है तु  हमारे मन की सदा कहां !!

इनकी तेहनिया थी फूलों से लदी हुई ;

भले न थे मेरे आंगन में गुलाब मोगरे या जूही ;

थे इनमें फूल रंग बे रंगी, तो क्या हुआ गर इनमें खुशबू न हुई

देते थे वो प्राण वायु और अनेकों को छाया;

था मुझे उनसे गहरा लगाव और माया

मैंने कभी न समझा था इन्हें पराया ।

इन्सान तो है खुदगर्ज, बेरहम और जुनूनी;

शहीद हो गए वो; तुने क्यों बिनती मेरी नहीं सुनी ?

समझमें आता नहीं हम क्या करें; तूही बता ऐ महागुनी !

जादूगर

देखा नहीं दुनियाभर में, तुझसा कोई जादूगर ;

कर सकता है तु तो कुछ भी, पर चाहे तु अगर ।

पानी में तु एक भयानक आग लगा सकता है ;

और जलती धरापर पानी बरसाने की क्षमता रखता है ।

रेगिस्तान में बरसाए बूंदे तु, ले आए सावन;

या तो खिल जाए चमन वहा, या एक घना वन

खल खल बहे झरना, जहां कुछ समय पहले ही थी  सिर्फ रेत ।

या तो फिर अचानक गिराए जलती धरा पर, बर्फ श्वेत ।

पल भर में गुलाबो से भरा गुलिस्तां, बना दे तु रेगिस्तान;

या धराशाही कर दे महल या मीनार, जगा के तूफ़ान ।

आंधी में तु दीप जलाए और वोह बुझ भी न जाए

तेरे चाहनेसे पल भर में, मौसम बदल जाए ;

सावन की ठंडी फुहार, दिल में आग लगाए, या तो वो ही, आग बुझाए ।

सारी दुनिया में केवल एक; तु तो है बस एक महान जादूगर ।

झुक जाए तेरे सामने राजा महाराजा ओ का सर ।

COARSE OR FINE

Coarse do not be; try and be fine.

Only then, like gold you will shine.

Your character, your finesse must define.

Build a character strong, like a straight line.

Won't try this many will; but hopefully will, one from ninety nine.

If you try to build it, the results will be fine.

At least, this constantly will be an endeavour of mine.

SEND SOMEONE

Tell me o tell me how can we...

Prevent an angry dog from biting somone.

How can one?

A frustrated human from hurting everyone !

How can one?

Like a dog bark they, harassing everyone.

Stop them, how can one?

Advise how to achive a solution; help please can someone.

Please do this someone.

Difficult it is to them understand, how then can help them one !

Again, please help, someone.

Frustrated many are, not just one; but with such, how does deal one ?

Please o please, help someone.

Honestly it's a nightmare to deal with such a one.

Lord, please send someone.

पी से मिलन की रात

झगमगाते तारों की जैसे आज निकली हो बारात

आधा चंद्रमा खेल रहा है छुपा छुपी बादलों के साथ ।

बड़ी ही हसीन, बड़ी सुहानी है, आज की यह रात ।

बड़ी मुद्दतके बाद आयी है, यह मिलन की रात ।

ठंडी हवा चल रही है, मेरे नरम गालों को सेहलाते हुए;

मेरे घने काले  जुल्फों को, बादलों की तरह बिखराते हुए ।

पायल की रूम झुम, नैया में संगीत बिखेर रही है;

धड़कते दिलों की  धड़कन का संगीत हवाओं में गूंज रहा है ।

और हौले हौले, छोटी छोटी मौजो के संग खेलती नदी बेह रही है ।

दिल झूम रहा है, शराब बिना शबाब छाया हुआ है।

आंखो में मस्ती भरा खुमार है; नशा छाया हुआ है ।

पी से मिलन होगा आज; नज़ारों में जादू छाया है;

आज मुहसे निकलेंगे न कोई अल्फ़ाज़; बस नशा छाया है ।

सालों के इंतज़ार बाद, आखिर आ ही गई, पी से मिलन की यह रात ।

आए हैं मेरे पीया चांद बनके, लेके तारों की बारात ।
