Woh Eid, Eid Na Hogi

वो ईद, ईद न होगी। (Woh Eid, Eid Na Hogi.)

Covid Era is a different time and we are experiencing the things differently. Our lifestyles has changed, the way world behaving has changed and it has also changed the way Eid will be celebrated this year. The feast of fasting (Eid Ul Fitr) will not come with Feast,Fun, Sharing, Caring and meeting our loved ones. But we still make it happier by doing our part in helping the weaker sections of the society which we must do. As a writer and poet I have celebrated this by writing this poem which I am sharing here. Happy Eid. 

 

जब तेरी दीद न होगी,
फिर ईद, वो ईद न होगी।  
Jab Teri Deed Na Hogi,
Phir Eid, Eid Eid Na Hogi.

रात में तनहा चाँद का दीदार तो हो जाएगा,
मुबारक़बाद देने को मगर मोहल्ला न चिल्लाएगा,
चाँद रात पर जब ज़रूरी ख़रीद न होगी,
फिर ईद, वो ईद न होगी।  
Raat Mein Tanha Chand Ka Deedar To Ho Jaega,
Mubarakbad Dene Ko Magar Mohalla Na Chillaega,
Chand Raat Par Jab Zaroori Kharid Na Hogi, 
Phir Eid, Woh Eid Na Hoga.

जल्दी उठकर सुबह तैयार हो जाएंगे,
नए कपड़ों में फोटो भी खिचवाएंगे, 
ईद की सुबह मगर नमाज़ जब न होगी,
फिर ईद, वो ईद न होगी।  
Jaldi Uthkar Subah Tayyar Ho Jaenge,
Naye Kapdon Mein Photo Bhi Khichwaenge,
Eid Ki Subah Magar Namaz Jab Na Hogi,
Phir Eid,Woh Eid Na Hogi.

मुहं मीठा करने को शीर-क़ोरमा तो बनेगा, 
तरह-तरह के पकवान से दस्तरख़ान सजेगा,
पर मेहमानों की घर में जब भीड़ न होगी,
फिर ईद, वो ईद न होगी।   
Muhn Meetha Karne Ko Sheer-Korma To Banega,
Tarah-Tarah Ke Pakwaan Se Dastarkhan Sajega,
Par Mehmano Ki Ghar Mein Jab Bheed Na Hogi,
Phir Eid,Woh Eid Na Hogi.

दुनिया बदल रही है बदल जाएगी,
ये मुश्किल घड़ियाँ भी चली जाएंगी,
साथ अपने अगर उम्मीद होगी,
तो फिर वही खुशियां वही ईद होगी। 
Duniya Badal Rahi Hai Badal Jaegi,
Ye Mushkil Ghadiyan Bhi Chali Jaengi,
Saath Apne Agar Ummeed Hogi,
To Phir Wahi Khushiyan Wahi Eid Hogi.

Eid in Palestine

Eid in Palestine

The world has endless problems some out of mistakes and some out of power yet people decode the every possible way to be happy and satisfied. Palestine is one such place and Palestinians are such people who are trying to remain hopeful when they are surrounded by debris of their houses and having pain of losing their loved ones. They are observing Ramzaan fast in such condition and will join Eid celebrations with the world also. Their spirit and never say die attitude prompted me to write this small poem for Eid dedicated to them. Happy Eid to all. 



Shattered, tattered, with bleak hope,
faith giving them power to cope,
in love, peace, brotherhood has the scope,
to tie the festivities & happiness with one tightrope.

Their spirit is broken but not destroyed,
in small occasions they are satisfied,
Eid is the festival of giving and to fill void,
pray that on a new day, new cheerfulness buoyed.

Aaj Eid Hai!

Aaj Eid Hai!


Eid-ul-Fitr is feast of Ramzaan. The day which is dedicated to celebrations after the month of fasting in which Muslims need to share there happiness with those who are less privileged to enjoy this festival fully. I like to wish all of you Eid Mubarak, Happy Eid.  



खुशियों से गले मिल लो यार आज ईद है,
मिटादो सारे बीते मुद्दे यार आज ईद है। 
बाटो न नफ़रतें बस प्यार आज ईद है। 
Khushiyon Se Gale Mil Lo Yaar Aaj Eid Hai,
Mitado Saare Beete Mudde Yaar Aaj Eid Hai,
Baton Na Nafratein Bas Pyaar Aaj Eid Hai.

Spirit of Eid

Spirit of Eid

Eid-ul-Fitr or 'Meethi Eid' as it is called in India is celebrated after completion of holy month of fasting i.e Ramzaan. This festival Eid is not just about celebration but about sharing happiness. The privileged Muslims are obliged to give 'Zakaat' (2.5% amount from total earnings which is given to poor and needy) and 'Fitra' (amount equal to 1.6kg wheat meant for poor and needy) to maintain the balance in society and need to take care that people around us should be happy. But this year Ramzaan became violent with deaths of innocents in terrorist attacks of Istanabul, Baghdad,Dhaka,Orlando and recently in Qatif and Madina of Saudi Arabia. Most died in these attacks are fasting Muslims which make it clear that terror sees no religion, neither it has any religion. Here I am sharing a poem emphasizing on real Spirit of Eid. May Eid brings happiness and peace to the world. Happy Eid. 



 A Ramzaan passed with scars,
of innocent deaths and situation like wars.

War on humanity where Satan ruled,
with veil of religion to us they fooled.

Spirit of Eid is happiness for all,
how it's possible with such humanity's fall.

A just society where happiness and pain are shared,
where each precious life is properly cared.

Your prayers are waste and futile,
If others around you are without a smile.

Spare few moments to remember all those who died,
before laughing wipe tears of all those who have cried.

When you raise your hands for Eid's prayer,
Ask HIM for peace, brotherhood and care.

Eid-al-Fitr

Eid-al-Fitr



Eid-al-Fitr is a festival to celebrate the feast of breaking the fast after the month of Ramzaan. But the festivities of Eid is not complete if they are not shared with least fortunate , Muslims did this in form of Zakaat and Fitra . This poem is summarization of this festival.  Happy Eid , Eid Mubarak.

Crescent moon appeared,
to mark the victory of those who fasted.
With alms happiness shared,
Your endurance He has properly tested.

In Ramzaan all your sins cleared, 
Like a new born child your soul has acted, 
Feast of happiness - Eid arrived,
Embrace those whom destiny has rejected.
