all I hope and ask for

all I hope and ask for O’ lord..

is that tomorrow when I lay to rest,
another one of my remaining days,

let my eyes glisten,
not with sorrow or shame,
but innocent pride!

let my head not be bowed
with the worthless weight

of another dawdling day,
but be contentedly raised,

on seeing a panting day
hit the finishing line with success.

O' lord.. leave me not

with the ghost of grief – borne by failure,
but with the spirit of success 

he legacy of a winner!!

aise hote hain pitah

jeevan mila jinse, woh jeevandaan hai pitah,
pukara jaaye chaahe kisi bhi bhasha mein
kehkar papa, baba, babuji...
har boli mein inke liye hai 

wahi pyaar aur samman bhara.

thaame jinki ungli bachpan challa,
jinki majboot kandhon par baithkar duniya dekhi,
godh par baith kiye nakhere dher jinke,
jinhone apne sneh se hamein bada kiya,
woh hai pitah!

choti se choti jeet par bhi jinse shabashi mili,
har haar ko jinhone sikh bataya,
nirash ko door bhagaya,
jeevan ki sachaai se hamein rubaru karaya,
sahi aur galat mein antar samjhaya,
jinhone apne bachoon ke sukh mein hi apna sukh paya,

bachoon ke liye har pareshani haskar uthaaya,
jinki puri sansaar unke bachoon mein hi samaya,
woh hain pitah!

kabhi kadak ho jaate to kabhi naram bade,
lagate hain pabandiyan to kabhi dete hain choot puri,
kabhi hansaate hain to kabhi rulaate hain,
kabhi maa ki daat-maar se bachaate hain,
to kabhi khud hi chapat laga dete hain,
aise hote hain pitah!

pyaar se thapki dekar sulaate hain,
to kabhi khana banakar apne haathon se bhi khilaate hain,
jarurat ho to maa ke bhi saare kartavya nibhate hain,
din raat mehnat kar apne bachoon ke bhavishya ko sawarte hain,
har din, har pal unke ujjwal bhavishwa ke hi sapne bunte jaate hain,
apne har saans ko pitah apne bachoon par lutaaate hain,
kabhi kathor hokar to kabhi mom ki bhaati pighal jaate hain pitah!

aapki bhumika kayi roop se hai...
dhoop gar jalaye to chaao ban jaate hain,
wahi samay aane par ussi dhoop mein tapkar jeena sikhate hain,
baatein jinki hamesa maargdarshan karti hai,
kathinayion se lardte huye, viparit paristhithi mein bhi,
apne sidhanton par chalna sikhate hain,

sath mein ho yaa yaad mein,
inki upastithi hamesa mann ko sukun pohuchati hai,

aise hote hain pitah!

how much I miss you, no one knows

each moment spend with you is unforgetable,
without you, I am lonely and feeble,

when you were by my side, 

I took my sorrows in my stride,

the only thing I can say about you,
there was never a thing about me, which you never knew.

the gates of memory will never close,
how much I miss you, no one knows,

your sense of humour was really great,

to crack a joke you were never late.

I will never forget yor sweet smile,
which carry my gloom many a mile,

you are like a precious jewel,
in my heart you will always dwell.

Miss you Baba..!!

majhdhaar mein banke rahe pattvaar pitaaji

duniya ko bataate rahe majhdhaar pitaaji,
majhdhaar mein banke rahe pattvaar pitaaji,

saaya bhi unhi se hai, sahaara bhi unhi ka,
bachchon ke liye dar hai aur deevaar pitaaji.

chullha na pade thanda kabhi isleye aksar,
hansakar gaye hain kaam par beemaar pitaaji,

maa ke bimaari mein bachche, roti aur baratan,
aksar nibhaate maa ka bhi kiradaar pitaaji.

hain dost, alaarm, guru, to pabandiyaan kabhi,
thappad, nasihatein, kabhi akhabaar pitaaji.

I will be there

when true friendship
binds two individuals together,
that bond can never be broken.

for in times of confusion,
I will be there to listen to you.

in times of sadness,
I will be there to console you.

in times of anger,
I will be there to talk with you
even when miles separate us.

my friend.. 

when you are confused,
when you are sad, 

when you are angry,

search your heart, and I will be there.
I am and always will be your friend.

maa-baap ki sewa hi sabse badi puja hai

pitah jeewan hai, sambal hai, shakti hai,
pitah shristi ke nirmaan ki abhi-bhyakti hai,

pitah ungli pakkde bacche ka sahara hai,
pitah kabhi kuch khatta, khabhi khhara hai,

pitah paalan hai, poshan hai, pariwaar ka anushaashan hai,
pitah dhaus se chalne wala prem ka prashasan hai,

pitah rooti hai, kappda hai, makkan hai,
pitah chhote se parindon ka bada aashmaan hai,

pitah niswarth annant pyaar hai,
pitah hai to bachhon ka intezaar hai,

pitah se hi bachhon ke dher saare sapne hain,
pitah hai to baazar ke sab khilone apne hain,

pitah se pariwaar mein pratipal raag hai,
pitah se hi maa ka bindi aur suhaag hai,

pitah parmatama ki jagat ke prati aashakti hai,
pitah grihasta aashram mein uccha sthiti ki bhakti hai,

pitah apne ichhaon ka hannan aur pariwaar ki purti hai,
pitah rakt mein diya hua sanskaaron ki murti hai,

pitah ek jeewan ko jeewan ka daan hai,
pitah duniyan dikhaane ka ehsaan hai,

pitah suraksha hai, sar par haath hai,
pitah nahi to bachpaan anaath hai,

to pitah se bada tum apna naam karo,
pitah ka apmaan nahi, unn par abhimaan karo,

kyuki maa-baap ki kami koi bant nahi sakta,
aur ishwar bhi inki aashishon ko kaat nahi sakta,

vishwa mein kisi bhi devi-devta ka sthaan duja hai,
maa-baap ki sewa hi sabse badi puja hai,

vishwa mein kisi bhi tirtha ki yaatraein byarth hai,
yadi beta ke haathon mein maa-baap ashmartha hai,

woh khushnaseeb hain jo maa-baap ke sath hote hain,
kyuki maa-baap ki aashishon ke hazaron haath hote hain.
