Happy B'day

FOR  THE  CHARMING LADY

Melting lights, searching eyes and a restless way,

Just stop and listen “Hey! Happy B’day”

You’re as good as the best of all,

Juvenile and budding; stay a child after all,

364 days went and passed 364 nights,

One by one they passed unaware of delights,

So shall we celebrate this special day on Earth?

Let’s make the B’day 364 times worth,

No B’day ghosts can make us chill,

Can’t call them at our will,

But the claim is just, and just one day it will be,

Too much or too little, spend some time with me,

Kick the high-flying theories on the way,

Accept this small present; Happy B’day…..

THE WARRIOR

THE WARRIOR

The first bullet made me slow,

The second bullet hit me inches below,

The third bullet made my heart hollow,

And the last bullet made my anger grow,

But till my last breathe with the gun,

I made the enemies run,

Oh god! Let me survive,

I promised to return within fifty nights,

Help my friends, who are still alive,

Still hopeless after these fatal fights,

Till their death they fought hard,

Don’t put them in forgotten graveyard,

We are the hurricane lamps that glow,

Despite the imprisoning limitations,

During wild winds, rains and heavy snow,

We extract peace in all bad situations,

We always die for a greater cause,

Still, we lie in the battle fields without any gauze,

We have no more wars to fight,

But have candles of my friend’s name to enlighten,

Though bodies dwindled and disappeared yet souls unite,

After vain and profitless but glorious tradition,

ONE ALMIGHTY

ONE ALMIGHTY

Play how He wants you to play,

Strange but in a blessed way He judges,

Tomorrow, today and yesterday,

All differently planned without begrudges,

Go with the Almighty’s will,

Dare against troubles, Dare!

And your Will will be fulfilled,

For He is your hope is despair,

Search not Him in water,

Search not Him in fire,

Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop to totter!

You have what you require,

Search not Him in air,

Chase not Him in loneliness,

Search not in blood, or sweat, or tear,

Just stop and access what you possess,

Search not in a name,

For He gives it to everyone,

Search not in a fame,

Which can be overrun,

But search Him in a thought of goodness,

Search Him in a thought of faith,

For He is in everyone’s progress,

“My kingdom is within you”, He saith,

No hymn can bind Him, no ritual,

But a small act of kindness can,

Though kindness is habitual,

But in man now it’s forsaken,

Each leaf sings His glory,

Each wind carries His message,

Each drop bears His territory,

Each heart has His passage,

Hear His voice,

“I’m One in all”, He says,

And says you to rejoice,

In His prayer always

Amen

NEVER LEAVE THE BEST FOR THE LAST

NEVER  LEAVE

Never leave the best for the last,

As everything just passes,

Believe me, I’m an iconoclast,

With a million morasses,

Never bemoan,

But never care for mores,

It’s better to atone,

These are lost and bygones,

Too perplex and astound,

Life just straggles,

Everything is moribund,

Everywhere are haggles,

Wherever you go,

 Zenith is out of reach,

Let your god know,

The way to teach,

Though elegant and polite,

He gives pains and penalties,

But don’t stop, don’t fright,

For outmoded banalities,

Look back for the one you adore,

Oh streams! Obey my wish,

With a heart so pure,

With angels to swish,

Get ready to witness the odds,

The war for temples,

For different philosophies, different gods,

Watch man die in tramples,

Never leave the best for the last,

Enjoy the green world and the blooms,

And the azure sky, too superlative and vast,

And the snowy hills with icy fumes,

Never take a step alone,

Beneath the lonely moon,

Take a kiss form the bygone,

And give a dream of returning soon,

When wilt they return?

Oh monks of god,

I have a sin to burn,

With a sinful wad,

Never leave the best for the last,

Who, the past, present and future, sees?

Search a light for the shadow to cast;

To make a way out of the miseries…..

I have faith in you…..
