मोहब्बत की अगर कोई मिसाल होती,

बहन-भाई रिश्ते में वो शुमार होती। 

Mohabbat Ki Agar Koi Misaal Hoti,

Behen-Bhai Ke Rishte Mein Wo Shumaar Hoti

*मिसाल - Example,  शुमार - Included

To spread the love, to spread the order,

he come on earth to destroy hate's border.

Sabse Achcha Dost

सबसे अच्छा दोस्त। (Sabse Achcha Dost)

The bond between a sister and brother is the most beautiful and trusted bond in human life. Barring few bad examples this relation always remain true to each other. On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan I am sharing a poem about this bond of love,care,trust and friendship. Happy Raksha Bandhan. 

आपकी राहतों में जिसको मिले हर ख़ुशी,

आपकी मदद की खातिर पीछे हटे जो न कभी,

ऐसा सच्चा दोस्त, है वो सबसे अच्छा दोस्त। 

Aapki Rahaton Mein Jisko Mile Har Khushi,

Aapki Madad Ki Khatir Peeche Hate Jo Na Kabhi,

Aisa Sachcha Dost, Hai Wo Sabse Achcha Dost.

कच्चे धागों के बंधन में विश्वास की गाँठ लगाए,

फिर भी अपनी तकलीफे है तुमसे छुपाये,

पास हो या दूर अपने होना का एहसास जगाये,

ऐसा सच्चा दोस्त, है वो सबसे अच्छा दोस्त। 

Kachche Dhagon Ke Bandhan Mein Vishwas Ki Gadh Lagae,

Phir Bhi Apni Taklifein Hain Tumse Chupaye,

Paas Ho Ya Door Apne Hone Ka Aihsaas Karaye,

Aisa Sachcha Dost, Hai Wo Sabse Achcha Dost.

भाई-बहन का रिश्ता है दुनिया में सबसे अनोखा,

प्यार-तकरार मिलेगा इसमें नहीं मिलेगा छल और धोका,

कभी माँ, कभी शिक्षक, कभी दोस्त बनकर,

साथ दे ये दोस्त, सबसे अच्छा दोस्त। 

Bhai-Behen Ka Rishta Hai Duniya Mein Sabse Anokha,

Pyaar-Takraar Milega Ismein Nahi Milega Chal Aur Dhoka,

Kabhi Maa,Kabhi Shikshak, Kabhi Dost Bankar,

Saath De Ye Dost,Sabse Achcha Dost

राहतों (Rahaton) - Happiness ;  गाँठ (Ganth) - Knot ;  तकलीफे (Taklefien) - Problems ; तकरार (Takraar) - Dispute ; छल (Chal) - Deceit

Raksha Bandhan is round the corner and Independence Day has just passed. This post has some quick poetry in Hindi-English on both this occasions and on the Kashmir unrest. Hope you enjoy them all. Happy Independence Day. Happy Raksha Bandhan. 

आज़ाद एक वो दिन भी आएगा,

वो न मेरी जात-धर्म पूछेंगे,

तिरंगा उस दिन ही मुस्काएगा,

जब हम अपना नाम हिंद बोलेंगे।  

Aazad Ek Wo Din Bhi Aayega,

Wo Na Meri Jaat-Dharm Puchenge,

Tiranga Us Din Hi Muskaega,

Jab Hum Apna Naam Hind Bolenge.

########

Tie such a thread this year dear sisters,

which impart respect for every women,

Promise to protect each lady dear brothers,

molestation,abuse,rape not traits of real men.

########

Our heaven is burning like hell,

but in someone's praise we swell.

Why adding fuel to someone's fire,

when water of trust is what we desire.

Raksha Bandhan - Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti.

रक्षा बंधन - जिसकी बहन नहीं होती। Raksha Bandhan - Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti.

Raksha Bandhan is an Indian festival of brother-sister love in which sister tie a rakhi (sacred thread) on her brother's hand and wishes for his long-life while brother promises to protect her and take care of her in every possible way. Sadly the country which celebrate such a unique festival reports incidents of Honor Killing and has a high rate of crime against women. Lets pledge to respect each women equally this Raksha Bandhan as a mark of  honor for your sister. In this Hindi Kavita (Poem) I have tried to express what all those devoid of sisters are missing in their life. It is also reminder to all those who have sisters but take these advantages as granted without caring for their sisters.  Happy Raksha Bandhan to all.

सूनी कलाई, सूना बचपन, सूना आगन हो जाता है,
जिसकी बहन नहीं होती सूना उसका जीवन हो जाता है। 
Suni Kalai, Suna Bachpan, Suna Aagan Ho Jata Hai,
Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti Suna Uska Jeevan Ho Jata Hai.

सब से नाराज़ होने पर चुपके से कोई खाना नहीं खिलाता है,
जिसकी बहन नहीं होती वो भूखा ही सो जाता है। 
Sab Se Naraz Hone Par Chupke Se Koi Khana Khilata Hai,
Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti Wo Bhuka Hi So Jata Hai.

बिन मांगे ही कुछ मनचाहा सामने आ जाता है,
जिसकी बहन नहीं होती वो ख़ुद पैसे बचाता है। 
Bin Mange Hi Kuch Manchaha Saamne Aa Jata Hai,
Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti Wo Khud Paise Bachata Hai.

अपना आधा हिस्सा खाकर आधा और मिल जाता है,
जिसकी बहन नहीं होतीं वो सब तन्हा-तन्हा खाता है। 
Apna Aadha Hissa Khakar Aadha Aur Mil Jata Hai,
Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti Wo Sab Tanha-Tanha Khata Hai.

एक कंधा दुखड़ा रोने को, एक दोस्त राज़ छुपाने को,
जिसकी बहन नहीं होती वो दिल में बात छुपाता है। 
Ek Kandha Dukhda Rone Ko, Ek Dost Raaz Chupane Ko,
Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti Wo Dil Mein Baat Chupata Hai.

खट्टी-मीठी नोक-झोंक, मम्मी-पापा की रोक-टोक,
जिसकी बहन नहीं होती वो गुमसुम सा हो जाता है। 
Khatti-Meethi Nok-Jhonk, Mummy-Papa Ki Rok-Tok,
Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti Wo Gumsum Sa Ho Jata Hai.

धीरे-धीरे बतियाना, यूहीं हँसना-रो जाना, गुस्से में भी न चिल्लाना,
जिसकी बहन नहीं होती वो औरत को समझ नहीं पता है। 
Dheere-Dheere Batiyana, Yuhin Hasna-Ro Jana, Gusse Mein Bhi Na Chillana,
Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti Wo Aurat Ko Samajh Nahin Pata Hai.

सूनी कलाई, सूना बचपन, सूना आगन हो जाता है,
जिसकी बहन नहीं होती सूना उसका जीवन हो जाता है। 
Suni Kalai, Suna Bachpan, Suna Aagan Ho Jata Hai,
Jiski Bahan Nahin Hoti Suna Uska Jeevan Ho Jata Hai.

सूना (Suna) - Deserted, तन्हा (Tanha) - Alone, कंधा ( Kandha) - Shoulder,  दुखड़ा ( Dukhda) - Problem, बतियाना (Batiyana) - Talking.

Raw Threads

Raw Threads

The raw threads of Raksha Bandhan a festival in India in which sister tie a decorated thread on brother's hand and wishes for his long life and brother in turn promises to protect her from every evil is a strong bond of love between a brother and a sister. It is not just a thread but lifetime moments they spend together which I have tried to present in this poem. Happy Raksha Bandhan to all brothers and sisters.

Raw Threads

Of Love,of care,of protection,of prayer,

of snatching chocolates, of hiding secrets,

of breaking piggy bank,of playing prank,

of singing together, of fighting for whatever,

of signing for father, of saving from mother,

of helping in homework, for building a network,

of sweet quarrels, of fake applauds,

of unspoken understanding, of unconditional supporting,

of calling a guy, of girl's spy,

of sharing,of rearing, of bearing, of cheering,

of lifetime company, of life's symphony.

Bond Of Love

Bond Of Love

The festival of Raksha Bandhan in India is entirely dedicated to the love and affection shared between a brother and sister. This also represents our communal harmony as many Hindu girls have Muslim brothers whom they tie rakhi. There is no other festival in any part of the world celebrating this special bond of love between a brother and a sister. Here I presents a poem for this special festival. Wishing a very happy Raksha Bandhan to all readers and visitors.

 A bond of love,a bond of trust,

a relation which never rust.

She is sharing & caring ,a true friend,

to her love there is no end.

He is supportive, for her always stand,

wish happiness for her very grand.

A thread she ties for his long life,

he protects her so in jubilation she thrive.

For each other's problems they are cure,

Let's celebrate this relation,so pure.
