Stand up for Peace, Fight against Terrorism

Hi all,

This is a heartfelt poem that I wrote in Hindi language. The poem has a social message to fight Terrorism and spread Peace around the world.  Read on...

Topic : Stand up for Peace, Fight against Terrorism

Prelude of the song:

Purab mein Surya uga, jaag gaya sab jahaan,

Neend samaapth, din jaag uttha yahaan,

Chorus :

Man ek विप्लव (means pandemonium) mein kho gaya,

युद्ध कष्ट ke भय  mein rone laga, 

Par phir एक बार Dil ne साहस se kaha :

"ना आतंक ना भय, शांति की होगी जय yahaan "

Meaning of the Prelude of the song :

The Sun rose from the East, the universe woke up,

Sleep ended, a new day is born,

Repeat Chorus :

Mind is lost in a pandemonium,

The misery of a war, has made my mind cry,

But yet again, my heart sings with courage :

“Neither terrorism, nor fear, but Peace will win over here”.

Verse 1 :

बच्चे na बुज़ुर्ग ka आतंकवादियों ne khayal kiya,

रक्त मेरी आँखों से  bharpoor बहने laga,

में समझ नहीं पाया, itni kyon hai मुश्किल,

प्यार की भाषा bolna, jo बात कर sake हर दिल.

Kyun yeh ladna? bas karo yeh jhagadna!

जीवन के तट ko paar sabhi ko hai karna. 

Repeat Chorus:

Man ek विप्लव (means pandemonium) mein kho gaya,

युद्ध कष्ट ke भय mein rone laga, 

Par phir एक बार Dil ne साहस se kaha :

"ना आतंक ना भय, शांति की होगी जय yahaan"

 Meaning  of  Verse 1:

Neither children nor old people, did the terrorists care for,

Blood bled from my eyes wholesomely (seeing this),

I couldn’t understand why it is so difficult,

To speak the language of love, that each heart can speak.

Why this war ? Stop this fighting!

Everyone has to cross the ocean of life.

Repeat Chorus :

Mind is lost in a pandemonium,

The misery of a war, has made my mind cry,

But yet again, my heart sings with courage :

“Neither terrorism, nor fear, but Peace will win over here”.

Verse 2:

दिल में दया ho, aur drshtikon (approach) mein माफी ho, 

To  dil mein jagaa sakte hein , pyaar ki  prerna ko.

Khushi  baantkar , pyaar  ke deep jalaakar, 

Banaayenge is duniya ko haseen, muskuraakar, 

मजबूत विश्वास के साथ, tyaag नफ़रत ka hum karenge, 

Phir ubharenge rishtey, jo jeevan ka jashn manaayenge. 

Repeat Chorus: 

Phir Man ek विप्लव mein na rahega,

युद्ध कष्ट ke भय mein nahin rone lagega, 

Phir एक बार Dil  ne साहस se kaha :

"ना आतंक ना भय, शांति की होगी जय yahaan"

Meaning of  Verse 2:

If there is compassion in the heart and forgiveness in approach,

Then the inspiration of love, can rise in the heart.

By spreading happiness, and lighting lamps of love,

We shall build a beautiful world, with smiles, 

With strong faith, we shall renounce hatred,

And then shall emerge relationships, that will celebrate life.

Repeat Chorus : 

Then the mind will not be in a pandemonium,

The misery of war will not make my mind cry,

Yet again, my heart sings with courage :

“Neither terrorism, nor fear, but Peace will win over here”.

Loneliness - finding the "Hero" within

Hi all,

Posting this poem that I had written several years back. I found it today and posted it.
Read on...


ð My head isn’t working and you, Loneliness,  are the cause
For a reason so very vague that I stand and pause
To question the credibility of my plight so sour
Soaring up ambiguity’s ladder by every ticking hour.

ð Once it was you who helped me discover
The “HERO” in myself and uncover,
All my strengths buried in the depth of my person
Encouraging me to emerge as a lovely person.

ð At that time, you were my inspiration
Strengthening my hopes and boosting my aspirations
But I hardly realized when you the Great Mistress
Of darkness showered your inevitable shadow of distress.

ð Many a time, it is precarious to climb to the cliff-top
It is only the brave souls who make it to the top.
Nothing should shatter the spirit within
And crying over one’s fate would amount to a sin.

ð So take the sailor's advice,
Whose yacht was once sailing strong and nice.
Suddenly a storm beat him black and blue
But he would not let go of his yacht so true.

ð Neither black clouds, lightening, thunder nor rain,
Could shatter this man's spirit, his body all in pain.
Finally God's merciful grace, cleared the skies, so dark,
Enabling him reach his destination and leave his mark
Of determination, courage, perseverance and bravery,
Thus leaving a golden trail so unremarkably.

ð So keep trying till you achieve your goal,
Keep having faith in your beliefs and your soul.
For deep inside sleeping, lies a "HERO" in you,
Waiting to be awoken when you realise the "HERO" is you!! 

Ma Soeur, Mon Amie pour la vie (French) - My Sister, My Friend for life (English)

6^th May 2008. This poem is an inspiration from and an ode to the World’s Most Wonderful sister, in the true sense, my sister Sudha. Wonder how I would have walked through life  without her.  Read on..

ü My beautiful sister, our  journey in life began one fine day,

When I cried my way into this world in 1979 on an April day.

Thats when you rejoiced as you commenced holding me in your arms,

Each time I endured pain or was subjected to any kind of harm.

ü Surely and gradually you grew into my cushion of joy and cheers,

I loved chatting and spending the wee hours of the morning, laughing to tears.

Marking the beginning of a great friendship as I would drive,

Through life’s long road, its twists and turns, managing to survive.

ü You have always been my inspiration to rise higher,

Reaching for goals that seemed mightier.

You set benchmarks that had no upper limits,

Helping me realize that life’s milestones always had re-definable limits.

ü The fighter and winner in you, assists me in seeing the light in every situation,

Add new perspectives encountering a myriad of emotions.

I see the light of the Almighty showering brightly on you,

As not all human-beings think sharply and feel deeply as much as you.

ü To describe what you mean to me, my vocabulary would surely have to be huge,

And without you I would affirmatively be in many an unpleasant deluge.

It amazes and inspires me to know how much you have given to dear ones and life from the very start,

That can only further summarise how beautiful you are at heart!

ü What amazes me , is your ever-flowing energy that you shower consistently through life,

Never once complaining about the pain you would undergo in your strife.

As you make every effort to make that little difference in many lives,

Brightening little moments and touching numerous lives.

ü You have always proved , consistently, to be victorious in every role you play,

As a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, supervisor, you are a winner – and are here to stay.

You never stop trying to do better, to help others grow greatly,

Lighting lamps in peoples’ lives, working with them closely.

ü I could go on for an eternity to thank you for all those lovely moments,

That you have made special for our family, even amidst your whirlwind moments.

My earnest prayer to the Almighty would be to grace you further,

As you spread His radiance around the world now and forever.

ü As I reach the last stanza of this poem that I dedicate to you,

I wish to thank God for His wonderful gift to me – of a sister like you.

Its definitely to the credit of our parents that they gifted the world with a torch – bearer-

A wonderful human-being, a hope that the world will continue to be beautiful with people such as you, now and forever!

The arrival of our Sweet Angel

Dear all, 

This poem is inspired by the beauty that our daughter brought into our lives. Children are truly God's gifts to us. Read on...

• It was a sacred night when the stars shone and you came into our life as a light,

         A blissful angel with her little fingers curled up and sleeping tight,
         Feeling your gentle caress and tiny little fingers holding me so tenderly,
         Announce the onset of a beautiful motherly experience, to unfold steadily.

• Every time you called me "Amma" / "Mummy" with your sweet chirpy voice, 

          It was like walking through soft breeze blowing across vast green fields of rice,

          Experiencing the beauty of motherhood like walking through a fragrant rose garden,

          Seeing a beautiful Rainbow across the hills, while my sleep bereft moist eyes harden.

• Each time I look at your face, its like viewing a blossoming flower, 

          Falling short of words to describe the wonder and sheer innocence in your eyes spill over.

          The cooing sounds that you churn out of your being,

          Seem like honey pouring in, relaxing my entire living being.

• As days turn to months and months turn to years,

         The process of growing in love and warmth continues, moving us to tears.
         The charm of your radiance, bliss and curiosity, that you brought into our lives,

         Transformed our souls , inspiring us to create a similar difference in other people's lives.

• I pray to the Almighty that He may bless us to nurture you, 

         To help you grow and realize a life of abundance and the great potential in you.

         Through a life filled with immense love, warmth, beauty and radiance showered by us,

         Such that you may be able to re-tribute the same to the world around, gratifying us.

          

The Hero within

Dear all,

This poem is inspired by the inner strength that I experience as I face new challenges to deal with. Each one of us has a "Hero" within us, its when we realize this , that we tend to have no fear to face difficult situations. Read on...

• The clock ticks by and the trees sway away with time,

         The winds of change suddenly blow hard, challenging our inner glow shine.
         As the sense of survival against odds surfaces high, 
         The soul promises to grow stronger with a sigh.

• There are a million questions that rise to test the mind, 

        That weave hypothetical situations that may arise about the daily grind.
        The fear of losing the battle of survival seems to surge, 
        Diluting the very purpose of life's essence, to successfully emerge.

• That's when the soul befriends the "HERO" lying dormant within , 

        Which helps us understand and assess the depth of our true strength lying in, 
        The "HERO" is our visionary to foresee the light of the day,
        And to experience the brilliance of sunshine on the other side of the bay.

•  The "HERO" unites with the self,

        And releases every doubtful belief off the shelf.
        The "HERO's" power transforms the soul to unreal heights,
        Over-ruling any forthcoming danger and setting things right.

• Its not surprising to see brave heart warriors win Life's game,

        As their unstinting spirits set afire the pace and tame,
        The wild mind horses that run in different directions,
        That often freeze the process of the soul's resurrection.

• So my dear friend, unite with the "HERO" sitting deep within,

        Composed of virtues - courage, kindness, empathy, compassion, free of sin,

        For that's the crucial weapon to empower yourself and fight,

        Through the difficult times, growing each time with a greater sense of might.

The impending Harvest

This poem has been written by myself when I was on the verge of moving into another phase of my life – motherhood. This poem is the reflection of the emotions and feelings, experienced as I embrace motherhood. Read on...

• As the sun’s resplendent rays spread their brilliant light over the countryside, 

My being looks yearningly to trespass the new pasture over to the other side.
The wait to reap the fruits of the harvest seems unendingly long,
While I prepare to build my energies to spend sleepless nights humming sweet songs.

• Nature has a time for each occurrence - 

Be it the process of reaping or post harvesting threshing of the grain in recurrence.
The secret to a good harvest is a concentrated effort to reap a successful one,
With an undivided focus to achieve the highest quality in each one.

• Destiny has its own plan laid out as the mother wishes to mould her little child, 

To face a path, equally laid out with flowers and thorns so wild.
Despite the mother being sceptical about her child’s journey across life,
She prepares to build in her child, courage and strength of character, to face all the rigorous strife.

• The critical part of the Harvest season wait for the mother,

Is the test of her patience to tide over the lake of time to another,
Place of divine grace that showers in the beauties of motherhood,
Filling into her life, moments of bliss and pain - the two sides of parenthood.

• Thus as the best is saved for the last, my friend, 

The mother-to-be must gradually traverse through the tunnel of time and spend,
Her time exploring the grace of each moment to its potential best,
Living by example for her child, exuberating life’s omnipresent zest.
