पत्तों पे ओस की बूँदें
क्षणभंगुर
मगर मोहब्बत में झूमती हुई
ज़िंदगी को सींचती हुई
हर सुबह एक नया पैग़ाम सुनाती हुई

-

महकते फूलों से उनकी ख़ुशबू चुराना
तुम भले ही बाग़बान से मुँह फेर लो
गुलों को आता है हर हाल में मुस्कुराना

-

No matter how rough the night has been
We must believe that sun will rise
And sunshine will bring new hope

No matter how strong the wind blows,
We shall bloom and smile
If we fight together
And stick to the ground

-

I pray to you

To fill my days with sunshine
And warmth in the air around

Let my dreams drive my passion
And hope be my guide

Let words be my armour
And nature be my muse

Let art be my solace
And colours be the groove

Let perseverance be my strength
And heart filled with gratitude

The road is rough, I know my dear
The path is uneven, we all can see
Fear envelops each element, each being
Just hang in my dear, miracles are waiting

Trees are barren, dried leaves crushing
Desolate, rugged, the path may seem
Challenges substantial, hope’s fading,
Just hang in my dear, miracles are waiting

A test of your mettle, a check of your diligence
A way to strengthen your cache of grit
This road shall transform your soul, your being,
Just hang in my dear, miracles are waiting

The route’s meticulously planned
The itinerary’s comprehensive,
Your footprints en route destined,
Just hang in my dear, miracles are waiting

-

A little sunshine, some breeze to whisk in
Some friends to chit chat, a mug of coffee to sip in
Some books to read, some words to pen
Some moments to laugh, some music to fill in
Some colours to sprinkle on the blank canvas
Some memories of love, some moments to breathe

-

कुछ इस तरह फ़िज़ाओं में है
कि ख़ामोश हैं हम तुम
मगर गूंजती ख़ुशी निगाहों में है

-

एक नई परवाज़
मन में लिए विश्वास
एक नई सुबह का
स्वागत करें हम
एक बेहतरीन साल का

Life-a Mirage

I heard happiness knock at my door
I dashed to embrace,
But there was no trace,
Darkness was all I could see
Was it a mirage?

Deserted I felt, in the desert of solitude,
When raindrops moistened my face,
I heard someone call my name; I looked around,
Dry sand was all found- no human, no rain
Was it a mirage?

I kept chasing life, throughout my life
A glimpse, I thought, I may have witnessed,
Insatiable I was, I never had enough,
At last, I understood,
Life is a mirage!

Dawn brings hope
Hope of a new day
Day that smiles
Smiles with prospects
Prospects bless
Bless with new hope
Hope that dawn brings everyday
