THE WAVES  OF HOLY  GANGES

 

The  waves  of holy Ganges

are dancing in merriment

discerning the  emptiness of  worldly pleasures

i want  to take refuse in merriment

o ! Ganges

thou has  descended into   the suffering  souls  of  millions

thou has  blessed them with  purified  thoughts  and minds

o ! Ganga Maiyya

thou  art life bestower and  door to   the enlightenment

o !  Ganga   Maiyya

bless us by your  divine   touch

 

 

 

I WANT TO SING

 

I have scribbled myself in writing

by breaking silence , i have chiselled every word

i have come to know myself

i thought to awake you by my songs

i want to play my role and then want to depart from this world

i want to plant new plants of hopes

in the dim dark tunnel of life

i want to awaken you from the dream of life

i want to light the lamp of love

i have one song of life

i want to sing it for you

 

 

 

FRESHNESS

 

I want to feel freshness of life

without colours , passions and spring

can make a rainbow of life

be a peacock of bliss to dance at insecurities of life

change is the way , change is the destination

open your eyes ! be awake

hear the unknown knock at your door

flow with the flow

feel the freshness

 

 

 

Living in memories

 

Memories live

in unsung songs

memories live in

undrawn pictures

memories live in

houses of sand

memories live in

castles of air

memories live in

lines upon water

we live in memories

and get the satisfaction

 

 

 
YEARS

 

Years,

passed,

of this century,

in the hope,

era has changed,

to see something new,

perhaps,

everything will be changed,

but what happens with thinking,

do something positive

it will take years,

to build
