ज़रा सी कैद से ही

घुटन होने  लगी…

तुम तो पंछी पालने

के  बड़े  शौक़ीन थे…

☆☆

Just a little bit of confinement 

Made you feel so suffocated,

But keeping the birds caged

You were so very fond of…!

☆☆☆☆☆

 लगता था जिन्दगी को

बदलने में वक्त लगेगा

पर क्या पता था बदला 

वक्त जिन्दगी बदल देगा…!

☆☆

Used to feel it would take 

Time  to  change  the life

Never knew that changed 

Time would change the life…!

हालात तो कह रहे हैं

मुलाकात नहीं मुमकिन,

पर उम्मीद कह रही है

थोड़ा  इंतजार  कर..🌺

☆☆

Circumstances are saying 

It’s not possible to meet 

But the expectation  says

Just  wait  for a  while..! 🌺

☆☆☆☆☆

अब तो तन्हाई भी

मुझसे, है कहने लगी,

मुझसे ही कर लो मोहब्बत,

मैं  तो  बेवफा नहीं…🌺

☆☆

Now,  even loneliness

has also started saying  

Please fall in love with me, 

At least, I am not unfaithful…

☆ – “Her Power” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

What have you seen of hers

a flesh, a mind or hairs

If that’s all you have seen

then you have not seen

to see her truly

is to see her power

and her power is truly seen

when she is not seen

powerful force she is

than the gravity itself

for gravity pulls all the matter

but she, all the spirit

gravity starts pulling

when it is present

but her power acts

when she is absent ….

let her go, let her go her way

and you will see her beauty

for even from a distance

her light will motivate you

Like the MOON……

☆ Heart, eyes, and tears… ☆ Hemant Bawankar ☆

These tears are surprising

which are very close to every heart.

There is a strange relationship

amongst heart, tears and eyes.

Even though,

staying away from the heart,

these are close to every heart.

By the way

Eyes cry many times in life.

Sometimes they cry in joy.

Sometimes they cry in sorrow.

Sometimes they cry when we are awake.

Sometimes they cry when we are asleep.

People Say –

the woman is so sensitive

having a source of tears in her eyes.

However,

I had seen him turning away,

and wiping his eyes

at the time of his wife’s adieu.

I had seen tears in his eyes

at adieu of

his sister

and daughter too.

I had seen tears in his eyes

even when, as a social responsibility

he brought one daughter from another home

with the feeling of adieu of

his sister

and daughter too.

I had still seen tears of joy in his eyes

when you had given presence

in your mother’s womb.

I had still seen tears of joy in his eyes

when he preached the good stories

when you were in the womb

so you may get lessons of life

to overcome the life’s trap.

I had seen tears of helplessness in his eyes

when he found himself constrained

to meet your urgent needs.

I had even seen tears in his eyes

when someone could not understand him

when someone could not honour

his feelings

his relationships.

I had still seen tears of joy in his eyes

when you moved ahead

to fight with life’s lessons

rejuvenating yourselves.

These tears are surprising

which are close to every heart.

There is a strange relationship

amongst heart, tears and eyes.

Even though,

staying away from the heart

these are close to every heart.

(This poem has been cited from my book “The Variegated Life of Emotional Hearts”.)

अधूरी कहानी पर ख़ामोश

दर्द ज़रा गहरा है….🌺

Guarded are the silent lips,

On  the  incomplete story…

Wound  is  of  the soul, so

The pain is rather intense….

Was walking peacefully

In  the  journey of the life

Just casting a glance on you

Made my journey go astray

☆ – “Game” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

I have learnt to remain calm

but I am not silent

I have learnt to not talk

but I am making statement

* 

with the experience comes the pain

but when goes the pain, wisdom is a gain

time has taught me

how the love fails

but moment has shown me

how the love gains

 *

despite the odds and injustice and battles

I have learnt to keep the heart alive

for life is a sea of uncertainty

where your ship gives a try

one beautiful evening

my ship will sink

and my heart will cease

but till then it shall beat

 *

that’s what being human is

to give always a try

Winning and loosing become illusions

as the game goes by

and what remains real

is the heart that gives a try…
