Anna Hazare we are with you
A new morning is about to rise
The streak of light has emerged
In the sky of hope
The darkness is bound to perish
And its harbingers will get their dues
O, great apostle of honesty
We are with you
Bring the revolution with full might
And exterminate the pillars of corruption
Rip them apart who create hurdles in your way
Honesty has suffered a lot
In the hands of dishonesty and improbity
Now it's time for them to suffer
It's the call of Nature to destroy
The harvest of wickedness
It's the call of Time to dismantle
The idols of evil.

The land of curse
Broken people with broken limbs,
Broken hope, broken dreams,
Here death is the most familiar entity,
This is the land of curse,
Danger lies on every step,
It may open his diabolic mouth,
To swallow up your limbs,
O little children, stay away from this land,
Under it the vampire of Death is sleeping,
Who has taken many lives,
But his hunger is not satisfied,
One more step and he will wake up,
To pounce upon you,
He is the nurseling of the bigger vampires,
Whose self-interests have brought the world
On the verge of disaster.

A cruel attitude
I don't want to say anything
You have left me for nothing
You have filled my life with sorrow
I don't know what will happen tomorrow
Your indifference will take my life
I myself have put my throat on the knife
Everything was going on very well
No sooner did I stand than I fell
Now you have made a fun of me
And you are walking with glee
What will happen to my emotion?
Where you have made a commotion
I think I was absolutely wrong
My ruin has sounded a furious gong
My sentiments are extremely genuine
O, God please save me from this ruin.

A rapturous morning
Ripping the darkness of the night,
The bride of morning removes her veil,
She arrives on the planquin of fragrant breeze,
The whole atmosphere turns intoxicating,
The flowers rejoice in the garden,
The cuckoo hails the spirit of the day,
Drops of dew are lying on the leaves
Like pearls on the floor of deep.
The rays of the gracious lamp
Touch the rippling waves of the sea,
I can feel ripple in my emotions too,
Ah! Nobody is around to share my agony
But the immortal Nature.
I forget all miseries and cherish
Her beautiful countenance.

England riots, August 2011
The world of someone's hope is burning,
The world of someone's joy is burning,
The world of someone's dream is burning,
Has humanity died in the streets of London?
Has the age old culture deceived the country?
Have people forgotten the beautiful days and intoxicating nights?
Love, peace, tenderness and tolerance
Where are these elements?
It's not riot,
It's a declaration of a change in human tendency,
It's a prelude to a peril,
It may sound a knell for the tolerance of the country,
Let's pray that England would not be another Norway.

Thy memory
In the desert of my unending gloom,
I feel thy hand on my visage,
The intensity of my pain retreats,
The frangrance of thy being
Lights up, in me,
The spirit of vivacity,
My days are luminious,
My nights are colourful.
I feel the moisture of thy hair
As the rain comes,
I feel thy touch
As the wind blows,
I experience spring
In the autumn of my life,
The flowers of thy memory
Bloom everywhere.
But Ah!
As soon as thy memory departs,
The world becomes dark to me
And my spirit.

My ultimate companion
I invited my misfortune
To be my guest,
And he came with all his ugliness,
I entertained him with delicious items,
I lay the table
And served the dishes of
My desires, my aspirations, my hopes,
My insignificant success,
And of course my ambitions.
He was extremely pleased the way
I entertained him.
He made me his friend forever
And I was also pleased to have
A longlasting friendship
Cause, like fortune, he never frowned at me,
He never threatened me of failure,
Nor played with me success.
He was always with me,
He was my ultimate companion.

A Busy Street
Shameless, nude always invites
To outrage her modesty,
Smooth and grey
who would not be
The victim of her
charm,
Pleased with being invaded
Yet wishes them to lessen
their intensity,
In search of peace most blameless Yet always ready for retribution,
Like a great saint who never minds to take
The burden of their sin,
Bearing the rage of elements and lost in her silence,
Like a harlot baring her bosom to all,
Welcomes each new and old visitor,
But ah!
Has anyone ever tried to descend in her emotions?
Still looks all the time so fresh and so new.

We are losers
Was the first battle won by us?
We took the form of human being,
Came into light from darkness,
Struggled, perspired, earned, spent,
Waited for the final call.
And called the life a success.
Certainly a selfish life
we led,
It had never been a successful one,
Did we ever wipe the tears of the poor wretches?
Did we ever try to make the world
A better place to live?
Did we ever follow the guidelines of our conscience?
Did we not breach the Divine Law?
Then why should we call our lives
a success?
We lost the last and the final battle too,
We are losers.

Valentine
Seek the heart
Where there is no gloom,
Seek the mind
Where there is no narrowness,
Seek the eyes
Where there is no deprivation,
Can anyone find such a person
In the whole world?
If yes,
Bring him to me,
I shall wait for him
with a garland,
I shall kiss his feet,
And call him
'Numero Uno'.
But alas!
No one is there,
Every heart bears immense pain,
Every eye is wet
On account of unfulfilled desires,
