Longings

 What my longings are?

Where is that shore distant and far?

You won't understand my yearnings 

neither will I be able to put them in words.

A sleepy non-descript coastal town

With people having nothing much to ask for or do

Mundane mornings and defined dusks

marking each passing moments of my life

Allowing me to soak in bright sunshine

And soothe my heart with intermittent sounds of sea-waves

Playing in sync with seagull's calls.

Nights marked by searchlight of a lighthouse not far from the coastline

Guiding voyagers to their destination

And people engaged in simple chores.

Where lies that town of my dream?

Does it even exist?

A place tucked away from greed of men and their ambition

Where humanity is engulfed peacefully by grandeur of nature

And nature has gladly adopted mankind in as raw and innocent form as possible.

Please guide me there for God's sake!

निवाला

 ये तुम ही थे जिसने चुना था -

मान के लिए ;

सम्मान के लिए |

हिन्दू  के लिए ;

मुसल्मान के लिए |

धरती माँ के लिए ;

आसमान के लिए |

अपने देश के लिये ;

दुनिया ज़हान के लिए |

युद्ध करते जवान के लिए ;

ऐतिहासिक अपमान के लिये |

तुमने जब जब हाशिये पर रखा 

अपनी भूख, रोटी, 

खुद और बच्चों के भविष्य को ;

तब तब मुँह की खाते हो |

छीन लेते हैं वो हलक से निवाला ;

जब सतही बातों पर भरमाते हो |
