Revered Sir,

Truly a man with a long foresight great you were;

The entire Parsi community is really proud of you, Sir .

A great human n a patriotic son of Mother India, you were.

After your meeting with Vivekananda, you knew how to serve Her.

May your memory live on for centuries many, dear Sir.

Happy Birthday

DIVE DEEP DOWN



Dive deep down into those fathomless depths of the ocean I do, to find pearls, precious and rare

Believe me, it is worth taking this trouble, when successfully you can them find, with hands bare

Pray I, my Lord, to grace me, grant me these invaluable, most precious pearls, those beyond compare

O Ahura, when ready they are, scooped from their oysters, them with readers, I would like to share

Varied may they be, shiny, shimmering, lustrous, white, ivory, or pink, for each and every, I deeply care

My poems n quotes should create an impact deep n for a better change; like oxygen does to air.

May every reader digest/absorb at least a  pearls few, be it helping nature, earth, religion, or elder-care;

Be it fighting pollution, reusing plastics n water; or prepared we must be, to consequences dire bear.

MY WAR HERO

A man of courage and wit, forthright, fearless, indeed very brave

Tackle n handle easily he could, situations important n very grave.

His subordinates many, adored him; because, to pressure he did not cave

This Hero, towards the road to victory against Pakistan, India did pave

A soldier to the core, to fight Her enemies, was always at the fore

Noble towards the defeated, he treated them well, goes a lore.

Undaunted he stood upright even when politicians tried to settle a score

Their shameful behavior he tolerated; for he was a soldier to the core.

When APJ visited him at the hospital, and helped solve the salary dispute

Sam regretted, he couldn't, the President of India salute

Charmed he many, including APJ, with his  behavior peculiar n  astute

Sam, may Ahura bless you and keep you in His loving arms, is my prayer mute.

आ भी जा

एक बार, बस एक बार, तुझे देख लूं;

मरने से पहले, जरा मै भी तो, थोड़ा जी लू।

दिल तो तुने ले ही लिया, मेरा कोई बस न चला;

पर उसको खो कर, मै जीवन भर बिरहमें जला

पूछा हर किसीसे पता मैंने, तेरे घरका,

चांद को भी पूछना चाहा, पता तेरे घारका;

तेरा घर देखते ही, धड़क ने लगता है दिल मेरा

क्युकी मंदिर वो है मेरा, घर जो है तेरा;

पर सुना है मंदिर मेरा, बिन तेरे, अब आ भी जा

दर्शन दे दे, तरसा ना इतना, अब आ भी जा ।

Armin Dutia Motashaw

That day, three hundred and twenty nine precious, hopeful, innocent lives we lost

Passengers and crew all; an aircraft entire; unaccountable, was the cost

O Ahura bless those souls and their families to this irreparable loss bear.

Even today, sad I feel when visualize I, those crying relatives; their hope mixed with that scare.

What a drastic, horrible result it was, due to some people who were grossly mislead.

Happens this often, when illogical, lies, fear and hatred to weak minded people is fed.

Those who do these crimes heinous, prepared must be, for consequences dire

Burn have to in hell, all those people who misuse and play with ammunition and fire.

The theory of KARMA,  understand must, these misled individuals; use they must their mind.

Aware must be all those leaders, who inculcate such crimes n vulnerable poor find.

Ahura, bless every individual with Beh-man, the good mind, so all things, we do right.

Help the misled ones with a good, kind, compassionate mind, with Your divine light.

पिया मेरे,

पिया, बनो न इतने बेरहम और निष्ठुर,

नाजुक दिल, दुखी हो के, टूट जाता है ।

शब्द बाण होते हैं बहुत ही कातिल; बड़े ही क्रूर;

दो मीठे शब्द सुनने से दिल पे सुकून छा जाता है ।

प्रीतम कभी तो प्रेम भरे शब्दों के फूल बरसाओ

हमें इतना भी न तड़पाओ और तरसाओ ।

माना के प्रीत मैंने की, आप भा गए; इसमें मेरा क्या कसूर ?

प्रेम न सही, पर इतने क्यों हो निष्ठुर ?

इतना भी न करो गुरूर अपनी बंसी पे;
छेड़ो मीठे सुर ।

माना आप हो राधिका के पर इस में मीरा का क्या कुसूर ?

मन मोह लिया इसे हो गए मनमोहन जरूर;

पर तरसाओ न मुझे युह रेह कर मुझसे दूर दूर ।

AUTUMN LEAVES

There lived an elderly gentleman, in the home for the aged.

One day, he threw away his phone, when raged.

Then burst he, into tears and wept loudly.

He said, " for days I  haven't slept soundly".

"None of my children have called me since days".

"Not one of them bothers, how their father stays".

Now to his aid, came another elderly gentleman.

"To hell with such children, forget them as soon as you can".

"Let's get mobile savvy, n learn whatsapp n facebook".

"Let's play games, do gardening n dishes tasty cook".

Everyone was excited n  immediately to this agreed.

A kind volunteer taught them, how to, many of these things do.

Happy very they are now. Their life is, once again, all set.

Sing, dance n enjoy they with their new-found friends; n no more fret.

These autumn leaves, have learnt to adjust to this life friendly, exciting n new.

Decided they have to live beautifully through their autumn years, anew.

H2O

Scientists call it H2O, we call it water, some even call it Adam's Ale

Nature us had given it in plenty n free; but today it's on sale

A sincere request I make,  a plea; waste water not; available it isn't in large scale

Everyone can prevent leaking taps; n surely run less water, without fail;

Care we must to collect discarded water from ROs, ACs, (to water plants) in a pail

Or reuse it, to wash vessels or swab floors; this of course is at a small scale.

Wash- machines a huge quantum use; this can be used, to flush a toilet tank;

Mandatory this should be made by GOI; or no loans to be given by any bank.

Between roads n footpaths, at the edges, grass can be grown; that makes it, a ground storage of rank!

Rain harvest today, an absolute necessity is; earlier, because of mud, water into the Earth sank;

Also it was water from lakes, ponds n rivers, that people then drank;

Now it is upto you to act, I have shared with you readers, my opinion n suggestions frank

🐶 TAKAA

If she sees anything that is chewable, especially a bone marrow;

Even from a passage, or an opening narrow;

Much before Brandy, Takaa can quickly dart like an arrow.

At times the kids, drag her back have to, like a wheelbarrow.

No one dares pass by our home, without the permission of this pharoah.

Guddi,  this was written on 09Jul '11.....

A cute little walkie-talkie doll,
Fair, plump,lovely long hair et all;
A pout she would put often on,
When angry with anyone or Shaun.

Today our princess has met her prince ;
Has suddenly grown up ever since.
Like our Shez, she too will soon leave us.
Leaving in our heart n life,  a void thus.

Tomorrow is her Roka, soon thereafter her engagement.
Girls grow so very fast ; leaving their dear ones after a little merriment.
"Time and tide wait for no one ", is a saying true.
That's why these two cute sisters, very fast grew.
Wishing you both, all the v best in life,, always.

HERE COMES SPRING

Awaiting I am, with "dil ma mara harakh"
Here is wishing you all, Navroze Mubarak.
May the day start with " garma- garam Chai karak "
May this year bring, " aapra population ma, wadhara no farak ".
Ane hasta rahiye aapre marak -marak ".

Wish I, every Bawa n Mayji, plenty of happinezz n peace.
May all these disgusting discourses for ever cease.
May we all work hard, n on Bawagiri and Parsipanu freeze.
O Ahura, make the atmosphere pleasant, with a cool breeze.
Make the places, clean, green n serene ; so that we live at ease.

STATUS SYMBOL

Believe me, today to lead a simple life, needs real courage.
There is so much pressure, pomp and show, expectations from the family and outsiders, that one tends to beg borrow and maintain status. May I ask what status ? These people will always remain unsatisfied n grumble behind your back or sometimes even tell you on your face.

Is it worth spending huge amounts for  Navjots, Weddings, Anniversaries; sometimes even taking loans???

These days, it's a prestige issue to have a lavish lifestyle. Big flats, ACs, huge TVs in every room, etc. One keeps paying some loan or the other.

Just think about this. Whom are we trying to impress and satisfy ? Our own Ego ? Or the world ?
Then we constantly worry about loan repayments.
I prefer to have everything necessary but not to compete with relatives and friends. For e.g. A Nano is more useful (these days), than a Merk, it saves petrol and can easily be parked and maintained, unless one has to travel long distances out of town.

Please do think and give your valuable suggestions.

Armin Dutia Motashaw.

Bharat is a wonderful country, a sacred land.
Lovingly enveloping all religions, are its Sea n sand.

Us Parsis it supported , nurtured n cared.
We too in return to our country, our best shared.

Then why suddenly this behaviour alien n rude ?
Why are we being given treatment so crude ?

Isn't it the Govts duty to us n our Atash Kadehs protect ?
Why in this rough way, do they today interact ?

Request I our honourable PM to please intervene.
Why is the MMRCL creating a scene ?

Please save our religious places all.
Please do not our faith in you waiver or fall.

INTROSPECT

Whatever be the matter, however annoying, please, please, please introspect.

Think deeply with all your heart, before you speak or act, please introspect.

Do not hurt the sentiments of people belonging to another sect; please introspect.

Most importantly, put yourself in the others place, then interact. Please introspect.

Make life let us easy, for ourselves and others, search for facts. Please introspect.

Respect religions all, but follow and practise our own; don't detract. Please introspect.

A lot our ancestors suffered, yet our religion they did protect; upon this, let's please introspect.

MILES TO GO

Said a poet, " miles to go before I sleep"

When thought about this I; n into myself did peep;

Into a trans I went; into myself I then withdrew.

Felt like asking the Lord I, "when I die, will I have to rue"?

Pray I to Ahura, guide me please, show me the path right.

Lord, You know it all; but awfully short is my own sight.

The purpose of this life, do not know I, help me please.

Help me O Ahura kind, help me much before life does cease.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AIRINDIA

On this day, in 1932, a pilot young, to India came.
Young JRD Tata n his friend, established a name.
Born was Airindia, it's existence soon came.
For him dear and exciting was this game.

Jeh, you would have brought your Airindia, a lot of fame.
But they didn't let you stay on; o what a shame !
Things that changed, now will never be the same.
Sell they want to, your child, who now is lame.

Jeh, now I wish, at least the airport at Navi Mumbai, bears your name.
O how I wish, for this, all Airindians exert an emphatic claim.
May Ahura rightly grant you this, much deserved fame.
In the annals of history, may always, brightly shine your name.
Aedoon baad.

SHADOWS DARK

(After watching a film...Aanchal)

Oh ! how could he, how could he ever think like this, thought she; how very low !

"I, whose example many give n vouch for "; believe she couldn't; how could he stoop so low!

Shattered was Pooja, on this allegation hearing; she just could take this blow!

Respected greatly was Pooja; people many, her character truly adored;

When Parag, her character blamed; turned she into Maa  Durga, n loudly roared

It was an outburst instant ! contain herself she couldn't; anger poured;

"I, who believe in one love, throughout life; you blame me? How dare!

Staying with you is impossible, this horrible weird allegation I can't bear!

Your thinking so distorted can be, even imagine this I cannot; how unfair!"

Life in a moment single, so drastically did change; for support she groped

Smothered and suffocated she felt, as if in shackles strong she was tightly roped

All of a sudden, disappeared the sunshine n in shadows dark she was enveloped.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

TO HELP OR NOT TO

In our own small way, let us a difference make.
A hungry man's life perhaps, may be at stake.
Bread we can share some, it needn't be a cake.


Scared many times I am to help, because many beggars there are fake.
To get cheated n encourage wrong,  my heart would ache.
Because many lazy ones beg and alms conveniently take.

Help me O Lord, to lessen another's heart ache.
Help let me another, in Your name, for Your sake.
Wisdom grant me to differentiate between a deserving n a fake.

To encourage begging, would be a sin big; we must put on a brake.
Children innocent, they kidnap n maim, to get their share of cake.
Have we a right to jeopardize an innocent child's life; we cannot put it at stake.

Help we can by educating street children n this begging chain break.
Help the starving farmers; to them let us technology take; teaching them to build a lake.
With the young n old, weak n weary share; let us our things for them take.

तकदीर

भाग ले तु चाहे जितना, तकदीर और कर्म से तु भाग न पाएगा

ताकत और अक्ल लगाले चाहे जितनी, बच न तु पाएगा

सेहना है जो तकदीर में, उससे तु  कभी अपने आप को बचा न पाएगा ।

लोग करते हैं पाप और चतुराई, जर, जोरू और ज़मीन के लिए;

अपनो को देते हैं धोका, थोड़ी सी ताकत या दौलत के लिए

भले वोह अपनी मस्ती में जिए, पर कर्म तैयारी रखता है, उनको उलझाने के लिए ।

तेरी सोच संवार तु, बोली और कर्म संवार तु, अच्छाई का रास्ता अपना तु

शब्द शीतल जल जैसे होने चाहिए, अग्नि बाण का प्रयोग करना नहीं तु ।

कर्म भलाई के कर; कमसे कम ऐसे, हानि किसी को पहुंचाना नहीं तु ।

जो लिखा है तुने अपने कर्मो से, अपने ही हाथों से; उसे तु न मिटा पाएगा

अपने हाथों लिखी हुई तकदीर से उलझना नहीं, उसे तु बदल न पाएगा

बस कर्म सुधार; और भगवान के हाथो में, सौंप दे तेरी डोलती हुई नैया ।

Wishing you dear Lord Zarthustra, a very happy birthday.

Accept my love, respect n prayers O Lord, today and everyday.

Here is a plea; O Lord to our help, please soon come.

For Ahura's sake, n ours; soon perform miracles some.

Faith unfortunately a backward seat taken has today.

Tenets, prayers n love for religion,  lost have, their way

Darkness prevails all around; throw Your divine light.

Please help us O Kind Lord, save us, show us the path right.

Accept our prayers sincere, as we wish you Saal Mubarak.

You Zarthustra, are our beacon of light, our guide, our "taarak'".

IF I WERE

IF I were a  squirrel,  bury I would, varied n many a seed.

As a human  being,  a lot we can do to plant trees,  indeed!!!

If I were a butterfly,  cross pollination would be my deed ;

If I were a crow  many  Banyan n Peepal trees I would sow.

Or in some way,  along the coast, all the way,  coconut palms grow

If I were the PM, all along,  every road, trees would be grown in many a row.

Every MP, MLA, tycoon, beaurocrat, should follow suit

No one allowed is, to fell trees, our environment destroy or loot.

Builders destroy trees,  compel them I would, to transplant

Wouldn't it wonderful be, If every man responsibility takes, to trees plant ?

No one ever hungry would remain,  fruits,  vegetables n herbs abundant will be

Wow ! Just Imagine! What a wonderful country ours will, then be!!!

AN UNPOLISHED STONE

We are mortals absolutely ordinary, perhaps uncut diamonds, like an ordinary unpolished stone;

But try our best we must, as much as we can, in the given circumstances; remembering we are never alone;

Ahura sends us an angel, a guide, a friend time to time; but perhaps in a way sublime

However endeavour we must to our ego shed and listen to that lil voice; which is free, it doesn't cost a single dime.

Cultivate this if we, all fine, soon will be; for Know we all, Ahura has the power n many a wonderful way !

Eventually Ahura, through many an experience or  teachers some, will have this stone shine like a diamond some day !

બે નારીયેલીઓ ની વચ્ચે થી નિહારુ છું તને, ખીલ્યો છે સોળે કળાથી આજે; લાગે છે પુર બહાર

વાદળો ની ઓટ માં થી જ્યારે જહાંકે છે તું, તારું સૌંદર્ય લાગે છે અનુપમ; સાચેજ છે એ અપરમપાર

ઓ ચાંદ, તને આજે, આમ ખીલેલો જોઈ, જાગે છે દિલમાં મારા, કુદરત માટે બેહદ પ્યાર

નદીમાં પ્રતિબિંબ તારું લાગે છે દિલકાશ, લહેરોમાં છે ચમક, નઝારો જોઈ છલકે છે ખુશાલી બેશુમાર

ઓ માહતાબ, મારા ચાંદને આપજે સંદેશો, ત્યાં દૂરથી, મોકલે મને એનો કોઈ સંદેશો અને પ્યાર.

પ્રેમીઓ ના સંદેશા આપતો રહેજે, એમનો વિરહ ઘટાડતો રહેજે, ઓછો કરજે દિલનો ભાર

માહતાબ પર આવે જ્યારે પ્યાર, કરે કોઈ એની સાથે વાતો, ત્યારે નજર આવે છે પ્રેમના આસાર

કલાકો નિહારતાં તને હું થાકું નહીં; ઘટાઓની ઓટમાં છુપાઈ જાય તું જ્યારે, કરું છું હું પ્યારનો એકરાર

EMPTY CUPS

A sacrificial goat is the man belonging to middle class.

He is born to suffer the Govt's taxation torture, their "trass".

Squeeze they, every drop of his already pale blood n all his money

Whilst they enjoy with his tax money, all the delicious honey !!!

Pampered are the poor; instead of training them to become worthy;

Because, these masses in return, votes give to the govt. aplenty.

Then its the rich, who increase the prices of their products, to cover up their loss.

Bothered about the world they are not; principles they toss.

The working man's life most miserable is; after tax, receives he only two thirds.

Thereafter he pays taxes on everything except air n his words.

Crushed his life the Govt has, to parasites clothe, house n feed

Helplessly he gets ****** n *******; n is treated like a ****.

Empty will be his cup; after the tax- burden on his broken back !!!

Dreams his, fulfilled never will be, money to spend he will always lack.

Dear Lord,  honesty we know has value little, in today's world;

The dishonest, cushily sit in their comfy A/C homes all curled;

As the salaried middle-class man slogs like a beast of burden

The leaches **** his resources to build assets golden.

THIS WORLD

Wouldn't this world be a beautiful place; just contemplte !

If sow we would, seeds of fruits, that we daily ate.

Imagine oranges, Chikoos, mangoes hanging from trees, along the road.

Banana plantations, gauva, custard-apple trees on every boluward.

The colder places would have apple,  apricot, peach, cherry avenues.

This way, our villages n towns would be loaded with fruits, flowers n veggies.

Every coast, coconut groves, jackfruits would have all around.

Deserts filled with date palms would, if Arabs, date seeds drop could.

I love to imagine a world like this, lush green and so rich yet serene.

Be it man, beast, bird all happily in peace, coexist would.

Thought this fills me with pleasure, which I just cannot measure.

Lord, bless this beautiful Earth, so that a paradise it becomes.

With vegetation , now oxygen rich air,  will automatically come.

PATH

MAY THE LORD...

When tired, may cool breeze, you soothe

May rose petals be showered upon your path,

If the Sun hot is very, may some woolly clouds soothe you;

Or a huge luxuriant tree, grant you shade aplenty.

In the absence of the Sun, may the Moon light your path.

When thirsty, may a brook, come forward, to quench your thirst.

If sleepy, may a stary night n breeze cool, lull you to bed.

May your path with roses be strewn, minus the thorns.

May angels help you to cross every difficult path.

May the ever kind Lord Ahura, protect you n keep you under His wings.

MAY AHURA BLESS YOU ALWAYS.

CHARACTER  ASSASSINATION


Assault some  physically,  mentally and yet some, emotionally

Destroy some people the victims, professionally or  vocationally

Some people just  assassinate the poor person's pristine character

How does the affected person deal with so many different  factors???

Readers,  agree with me you all will, these accusations are unpardonable crimes.

Unfortunately these are on a rise steep during our, so called  modern times.

Of these,  one of the worst and absolutely  unpardonable crime is ****;

Wonder I, how n why does law allow these loathed criminals to escape.

It's an earnest request to all judges, advocates,  police,  ministers

In fact, everyone concerned, from the highest to the lowest administrators

Put your daughters,  sisters, wife or mother in the victim's place

Awaken your conscience; make your money else where; in her, please see their face.

Another thing is, do not ever assassinate someone 's character

Find out facts,  reasons behind their behaviour or action; there could be important factors

Easy it is to become a vicious demon and tarnish an innocent's image

Do not be the cause of someone's miseries,  or  her  character damage.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

STANDARDS DOUBLE

DIFFERENT CONTRARY  ANGLES N PERSPECTIVES  OF THE SAME PEOPLE.

Realities, practicalities are different very, from our ideals n thoughts;

This is the very reason,  with these standards  double, our society rots.

Today  compulsory are masks due to covid; understandable this situation is;

But what about those masked people; whose masks see we can't, how do we deal with these?

People say one should have a priceless heart, which  is worth more than solid gold;

But in reality prefer people those who are rich; talkative, powerful and bold.

People with hearts of gold,  taken are for granted; and often  neglected

Whereas the rich, powerful ones, the pampered, spoilt ones are selected

Speeches loud are given against practises evil; but sadly limited it is; used  only to be preached.

Wonder I often,  why these standards double? Where have we actually reached?

Happen rapes n sins other,  almost daily, condemned by the people who are in it involved.

Have you thought, how, why and from when,  have these standards double evolved ???

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Sad do not at all be,
Sweetly smile please

ACCOUNTS

O Ahura, help me please, to all my credits, debits, every account, keep clear;

So that come up I can and see You, in a state happy, without any fear.

I know keeps someone up there, our account of every deed, in detail

Help me please to keep clean my slate of accounts; so that my train doesn't de-rail

gets it, a signal green, clear is the path, when my soul towards heaven does travel

When reaches my soul up there,  the accountant, my personal account will ravel

Hope I, to have a catchet of good deeds; with Your ever helping hand;

This certainly secure a place in Heaven will, when my soul there does land.

M...Manthras alone won't help; but along with it, our good mentality definitely does.

Spreading hatred in the hearts of people is a grave crime

Whatever be the cause, on a wound, apply you cannot salt n lime.

Love generates love n hate generates hate; n hate just cannot be promoted

In  nature, as per the law of karma, your actions return,  perhaps, even bloated.

Think before you act,  and think well; for what looks tempting today;

Will be the very reason for your horrifying downfall tomorrow or on a later day.

Act wisely, thinking of the future grave ahead of you. Responsible you are for every deed

Remember the fact, a live bird on worms feeds; when dead, worms on it feed.

Love or hate is in hands your,  determine which to quit n which to pick;

Decide for yourself, spiritually,  emotionally n mentally  healthy you wish to be or sick!!!

AF Dastur

Loved you I, when you were my Bombay.
Loved I, every moment of that stay.
Today, it doesn't my own feel.
Why have things changed; it's now difficult to deal !
Wish I that beautiful Bombay of yore.
I loved it to the core.

Little Rolly and Polly,

Sat on a toy trolley

And went to see their friend Dolly.

Travelling on a toy trolley,
was pretty much a folly;

But a fall was ok with these two darlings, jolly.

HAPPY RAMNAVMI
Ram taught us self-discipline n  tolerance ;
He was a living example of obedience.
Promises, how to honour, learn we have to, from him.
Excelled in archery;  n strength he had, that  of Bhim.
A one woman's man, he was, not polygamic by nature.
An ideal human, who composed was; n very mature.
Awaken let us the Ram in us, on this auspicious occasion of RAMNAVMI.

A DANCING SPRING

Jumping like a spring, was this spring, n around it, created it, a permanent spring, green.

This little dancing brook, made the atmosphere around it, magical n yet so serene

Created it a musical spell, with sounds of rolling pebbles n its water so cool, clear n clean

What a wonderful way to relax here it is; no need there was, for any tannin or caffeine.

Those cold water droplets spraying on my face; staying here, happiness I glean

With its splashing water, soaking wet were my clothes, my T-shirt n my jeans

Learnt I from this little dancing spring, inspite of a life rough, how to joy n freshness glean.

MY FREYANUSH

Freyu  fatkdo, is my hero, my darling champ.

Can't find a darling like him, even after searching with a lamp.

Sometimes too much of gym n running, cause my hero a cramp.

May Ahura shower His choicest blessings upon you, my son.

To play with him Scrabble, quiz, uno, cricket, is real real fun.

Though these days I don't like him playing with bow n arrows or a gun.

May you soon represent India as a chess n skating champ; play an important part.

May all your efforts reach the sky, like an arrow, or a dart.

Study hard, n reach heights great; pray daily, with all your heart.

WE LOVE YOU.
DAE & MA.
