It's Time To Jingle It's Christmas time,the time of the year when there are celebrations all over the world to celebrate birthday of Jesus Christ. It marks the beginning of week long holiday to enjoy the winter and the new year. I am presenting this poem filled with fun and joy on this day. Merry Christmas to all. It's fun and food,  the time to groove From head to foot, show some move, Let's come and mingle,It's time to jingle,jingle,jingle. He comes on sleigh, with toys and gifts, Merry X-mas to say,         erasing sadness and rifts, So let's come and mingle,It's time to jingle,jingle,jingle. Call all friends, from all ends, and start a new trend, to lend a helping hand, And come and mingle,It's time to jingle,jingle,jingle. That star has shone, he is on earth, misery has gone, By Jesus's mirth, So,l et's come and mingle,It's time to jingle,jingle,jingle.  

Nami Danam Che Manzil Bood - Amir Khusro Dhoom - 3's famous track 'Kamli' featuring Katrina Kaif uses a Persian word 'Nami Danam' which means " I don't know" . That word was used by famous Sufi Poet Amir Khusro in this poem also. I am translating it into English as well as easy to understand Urdu (In Devnagri script). नमी दानम चे मंज़िल बुद शब् जाए के मन बुदम, ब हरसू रक़्स-ए-बिस्मिल  बुद शब् जाए के मन बुदम।  परी पैकर निगार-ए-सर्व कदे लाला रुकसारे, सरापा आफत-ए-दिल  बुद शब् जाए के मन बुदम। रक़ीबन गोश-बर-आवाज़,ओ-दर नाज़-ओ-मन तरसा, सुख़न गुफ़्तन के मुश्किल बुद शब् जाए के मन बुदम। ख़ुदा ख़ुद मीर-ए-मजलिस बुद अंदर लामकां ख़ुसरो, मोहम्मद शम्मा-ए-महफ़िल   बुद शब् जाए के मन बुदम।  कल रात मुझको ख़बर नहीं,मैं जहाँ मौजूद था, हर ओर बीमार-ए-इश्क़ थे,रात मैं जहाँ मौजूद था।   उस बुलंदी पर चेहरा-ए-मेहबूब रोशन था, बना वो आफ़त-ए-दिल था,रात मैं जहाँ मौजूद था।  उनकी आवाज़ को सुनने जहाँ हर एक तरसा था, मैं ख़ामोश सहमा था,रात मैं ज...

If I Was Not Bound I too would fly, in the vast sky, spanning my wings, removing all jinx, Spreading happiness everywhere in profound, If I was not bound,If I was not bound. I was without orders, crossing all the borders, passing all the shores, leaving all the chores, Singing with flock,emitting mesmerizing sound, If I was not bound,If I was not bound. 

मैं जीवन में कुछ कर न सका। (My Life Remained Useless.) - Harivansh Rai Bachchan जग में अँधियारा छाया था , मैं ज्वाला लेकर आया था, मैंने जलकर दी आयु बिता,पर जगती का तम हर न सका, मैं जीवन में कुछ कर न सका! World with darkness was enveloped, Blaze in it I had brought, Spent my age in burning,but world's gloom I couldn't suppress, My life remained useless!  अपनी ही आग बुझा लेता, तो जी का धैर्य बंधा देता, मधु का सागर लहराता था,लघु प्याला भी में भर न सका, मैं जीवन में कुछ कर न सका! If my own fire I could have extinguish, Then my heart could have relish, Sea of honey was floating,but a small cup I couldn't access, My life remained useless!  बिता अवसर क्या आएगा, मन जीवन भर पछताएगा, मरना तो होगा ही मुझको,जब मरना था तब मरना सका, मैं जीवन में कुछ कर न सका! Did occasions spend will come back, That regret will always attack, Couldn't die when I should die,but will die when it's worthless, My life remained useless! For a ...

Love Is In The Air Under orange grey sky, only you and I, Holding you in arms,none I care, Everything is fair,when love is in the air. My world stand still, as you came downhill, Leaving all fears,to promises you adhere, Everything is fair,when love is in the air. Be mine for always, like sun's sun-rays, Let my life shine in your Love's glare, Everything is fair,when love is in the air. I have seen some dreams, of togetherness extreme, To live with only you or for death prepare, As everything is fair,when love is in the air. How differently I purpose, all talks have same course, To keep you in front of me and for lifetime stare. As everything is fair,when love is in the air. ...

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening - Robert Frost Universal Children's Day takes place annually on November 20 by United Nations recommandation. But in India it is celebrated on November 14 which is the birthday of India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru  who was very fond of children,they also loved him and called him as Chacha Nehru (Uncle Nehru). On this occassion I am sharing one of his favorite poem written by Robert Frost. Jawaharlal Nehru had copied the last stanza of the poem in his own hand,sometimes before his death and always kept it by his side. Whose woods these are I think I know, His house is in the village though, He will not see me stopping here, To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer, To stop without a farmhouse near, Between the woods and frozen lake, The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bell a shake, To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's ...

That love is like metal platinum which does not fade or tarnish with time,it always stays true.

I have weaved that dream in a poem which is also unique for having stanzas in both Hindi and English. शर्माया-शर्माया मैं था,     वो भी घबराई-घबराई थी, मिलकर भी हम न मिले थे,     ये साथ ,जुदाई सी ही थी।  Tied in this unknown relation,         we did care for each other, But never expressed in hesitation,        we passed the whole summer.  सर्दी कि वो एक शाम थी,         देर से घर मैं लौटा था, फ़ोन भी न मिल पाया था,         उसका दिल यूँ डोला था।  Sh...

तो किधर जाएगा।  ज़रा देर में प्यार हो जाएगा, तो किधर,फिर किधर,फिर किधर जाएगा।  आँख मिल जाएगी,चैन को जाएगा, ख्यालों में किसी के गुम तू हो जाएगा, रातों में जब तू न सो पाएगा, तो किधर,फिर किधर,फिर किधर जाएगा।  राहें मुड़ने लगेंगी किसी की गली, दिल में होगी हर पहर ख़लबली, एक झलक को जब किसी की तड़प जाएगा, तो किधर,फिर किधर,फिर किधर जाएगा।  याद हो जाएंगी प्यार की सब ग़ज़ल, पसंद आएगी बस वही एक शक्ल, मोहब्बत में बेख़ुद जब हो जाएगा, तो किधर,फिर किधर,फिर किधर जाएगा।  ज़रा देर में प्यार हो जाएगा, तो किधर,फिर किधर,फिर किधर जाएगा।

He was a religious man and sang many bhajans in his ashram along with his followers.

The Moth And The Lamp Love is above any creation,        those that swims in this river knows, that it breaks all the tradition,       even god in front of it bows.

To die in lover's arms is only aim,        destroying one's being without any reason, one burn's self another diminishes it's flame,       an ideal pair in love's season this poem is written for The Mag

जो तुम आ जाते एक बार। (If once you would have arrived ) - Mahadevi Verma कितनी करुणा कितने सन्देश, पथ में बिछ जाते बन पराग, गाता प्राणों का तार तार, अनुराग भरा उन्माद राग, How many messages,how much compassion, like pollen in the path would suffuse, each chord of my being would sing with passion, a frenzy melody with devotion in it infuse. आंसू लेते वे पथ पखार, जो तुम आ जाते एक बार।  By washing that path I would have thrived, If once you would have arrived. हंस उठते पल में आद्र नयन, धुल जाता होंटो से विषाद, छा जाता जीवन में बसंत, लुट जाता चिर संचित विराग, Wet eyes would have smiled at that moment, sadness from my lips would have perished, spring would have spread in my life which is dormant, my eternal accumulated alienation would have vanished, आँखें देतीं सर्वस्व वार, जो तुम आ जाते एक बार। Everything eyes would have deprived, If once you would have arrived.

Drown In Your Love Drown in your love, I don't know now, to come out how? Drown in your love, I am useless and numb, For you I am so dumb, Drown in your love, Forgets my paths and way, on streets I move astray, Drown in your love, My reflections shows you, tell me how I throw out you, Drown in your love, I am without any choice, I only hears your voice, Drown in your love, I will get you or die, How to live in pain and sigh. written for The Mag.

नाम देश का लिखूँगा। - India as my identity. India is the only country in the world with so many religions and culture. We live united in spite of so many diversities and are ready to give our lives for our country. Mohammad Iqbal in " Sare jahan se achcha ",said "Kuch baat hai ki hasti mitti nahin hamari,sadiyon raha hai dushman daure jahan hamara" which means that there is something that our identity is not erasable even when world is against us in every age which is true for us.

आ गई ईद। ( Eid Has Came) मुस्कुराते नए चाँद के साथ, रोज़ेदारों को मिली है सौगात, खुशियाँ बाटने की चलाकर रीत, आ गई ईद,आ गई ईद।  With beaming of the new moon, Rozedar* has received a boon, Sharing happiness with it's aim, Eid has came,Eid has came. दोस्तों से,दुश्मनों से मिटा शिकवे-गिले, आ गया दिन जब मिलेंगे सबसे गले, बुराइयों पर हासिल करती जीत, आ गई ईद,आ गई ईद।  Erase grievances from foe and friend, A day has come in hugs to spend, Victory over evil it acclaim, Eid has came,Eid has came. दूर ग़म मुफ्लीसों के करने को, मिठास हर ज़िन्दगी में भरने को, हर किसी से जोड़ने प्रीत, आ गई ईद,आ गई ईद।  Problems of all paupers to reduce, sweetness in every body's life to induce, Love for each one it claim, Eid has came,Eid has came. *Rozedar = Those who fast during holy month of Ramzaan.

ये इश्क़ नहीं आसान।(This love is not easy) - Unknown Poet This ghazal is written by an unknown poet inspired by Ghalib's " Ye ishq nahin aasan bas itna samajh lijiye,ek aag ka dariya hai aur doob ke jana hai." The translation is done by me. मासूम मोहब्बत का बस इतना फ़साना है, कागज़ की हवेली है,बारिश का ज़माना है.  An innocent love has just that story of pain, A mansion of paper,in the time of rain. क्या रस्म-ए-मोहब्बत है,क्या शर्त-ए-ज़माना है, आवाज़ भी ज़ख़्मी है और गीत भी गाना है.  What a ritual of love,what a condition of this age, Voice is wounded and needs a song to stage. टूटा हुआ दिल अपना यूँ उनको दिखाना है, भीगी हुई आँखों से एक शेर सुनाना है.  In this way,show my broken heart to her, To recite a couplet with wet eyes to her. उस पार उतरने की उम्मीद नहीं रखना, कश्ती भी पुरानी है,तूफ़ान भी आना है.  Don't expect to land across, Dinghy is old,storm to surpass. नादानी मेरे दिल की फिर इश्क़ की ज़द पर है...

दिल को क्या हो गया … (What Happened to the heart...) - By Daag Dehelvi दिल को क्या हो गया ख़ुदा जाने, क्यों है ऐसा उदास क्या जाने। What happened to the heart God knows, Why so sad like this, who knows. कह दिया मैंने हाल-ए-दिल अपना, इस को तुम जानो या ख़ुदा जाने। I have said condition of my heart, Now this you knows or God knows. जानते जानते ही जानेगा, मुझमें क्या है अभी वो क्या जाने। With the time one will know, What is in me now, what he knows. तुम ना पाओगे सादा दिल मुझसा, जो तघाफुल को भी हया जाने। You will not find a simple heart like mine, Which even to neglect,shame he knows. for better understanding click here:   Learning Dil Ko Kya Ho Gaya
