A lame excuse
I ignore them who ignore me
I hate them who hate me
I part with them who part with me
I attend them who attend me
I love them who love me
I unite with them who unite with me
For I am neither a saint nor an apostle
I am an ordinary man
Trapped in the net of false ego and pride
I do love God but on my terms.

Watch
Riding on thy wings the angel of time arrives,
And without losing a moment leaves for another land,
As his ambassador thou remain with us,
And remind us of our weal and woe,
Every tick of thine makes us feel about our profit and loss,
Thou conspire with the time,
And compel us to
realise thy greatness.

Thy place of refuge
Thou seek the cure of thy sorrow in evil
It will rather enhance the intensity of thy sorrow
No doubt the path of evil is very smooth
And seducing but ultimately it leads thee to ruin
But the path of righteousness,
Though full of thorns and troubles,
leads thee to greatness
And also brings thee close to God.

A Farmer
Clad in shabby dress, stinks sweat,
A churlish who works day and night
In the field,
To speed up the pace of progress,
To continue the game of politics,
The destiny of kingdoms
Lies on his rough palms,
By dint of his being,
The kings are kings and
The queens are queens,
He is the father of civilization.

Balm
When the darkness of my heart
dissolves in the clouds,
When my tears come out ripping
the veil of eye lids
When my heart beats are represented by the peel of thunder,
When the memories of someone takes
the shape of clouds,
I always wish a soothing balm
for my pain,
It is sent by Heaven
in the form of rain.

On the death of a youth
Ah lovely rose!
Thou art faded in the prime,
Thou were to scatter more light and more beauty,
Millions of others withered
Before they could blossom,
The garden could never enjoy their grandeur.
From where thou did come?
And where thou did go?
Who knows?
The show is on
But thy glory
will never be seen.

The life is not as good.....
The life is not as good as it used to be,
It has lost its fair and natural glee,
Love and affection has left the scene,
For them nobody seems to be keen,
Magnanimity has lost its simple way,
What else is there for us to say?
There are few days in this inn to stay,
Spread the message of love come what may.

A resurrection
The most beautiful moment of my life
Reminds me of something that laid the foundation
Of the ties between you and me
It was a moment that resurrected me
When I quit all the hopes of life
The colour of my destiny had faded
In such critical moments
It was a single one
Your gentle touch
that made all the difference.

A Conclusion
Primary ambition-
Earning, spending, loving, rejoicing, leaving everything far behind.
Secondry ambition-
Showing, helping, donating, worshipping everything that is blind.
Coclusion-
Both are boring, hurting, devastating, disturbing, and unkind.
Choose something in between,
In everything balance should be seen.

Make Me Immortal
In this dark world of disappointment,
I lit a flare of hope,
But the storm of emotions let it go,
Now It's only thee,
Come and lit my world
With the light of thy being,
I'm dying with the desire of thy glimpse,
Come and make me immortal with thy soft touch,
Or what else is there for me
To celebrate my sorrow?
