Naa hai aash na abhilasha

Naa hai aash na abhilasha
to jeene ki hai yeh kaisi aasha


naa hai agar moh na maaya
to tu jeeta kyun chala aaya


naa mile tuje khushi naa hai yaha pyaar
to har pal hai yeh kisska intazaar


jo tu kahe ki duniyaa acchi nai
to bhi kyun din par din ussi main khotaa chala jaye


naa mile agar tuje uchhaie , aur dhikhee sirf gharii khaaie
tab bhi udththi  hui chiriya ko dhek yeh muskaan kyun aaie??


Naa hai ash na abhilasha
to jeene ki hai yeh kaisi aasha?


duniyaa ko tu kahe ki kuch accha nai , aur tu dur jaana chahe
tab bhi unhi main baithe , unhi main gungunaae


tu yeh kyun kahe ki pyaar na hai
bas tuje abhi dhikhaa na hai


uss maa ki mamta main pyaar hai , baap ke phatkaar main bhi
dosto main mazaak hai aur badoo ki daat main bhi


bas ek pyaar karne wala chahiee tuje
jo iss duniyaa ke rang dhiklaae

Soul of innocence

Dedicated to those poor souls who are bonded by the chains of professionalism 




We were here at first though strange to each other
but policies changed us for the betterment I heard

they told tales about how gud the land was
how fine the breed was and how fine results they got

Also there were folk-tales about foreign breeds
and how when they came in contact they transform our own breed

They enticed us with their foreign lands
and said once vll be there,our milk and products vll change

and though the poor souls were we , we accepted their view
and went on with our grazing 

but somewhere down the lane one of us got sick
but they said he was a sicken cattle and he impured the land

and though the poor souls were we , we accepted their view
and thought it must be a problem with our fellow and the grass must be green

but again and again more went down
thought our masters kept sayng it was our eating habits which took us down

and though the poor souls were we , we accepted their view
and gave them our milk as for an ox its all he has to do .

and though the poor souls were we , we accepted their view
but there came a time when we asked for more grass ,
 to which our masters said its bad for health,
 and less should be consumed or else it will be there no more

and though the poor souls were we , we accepted their view
and saw new cattles being brought into the farm
and promised more grass than they can demand

and though the poor souls were we, we accepted their view
though smiling a little , knowing their grass will also soon be gone

and forgetting about the time when our own souls were pure too
laughing about the new herd Oh what innocent souls they have got..............

10 Years

Its been 10 years and memories don't die,
10 long years and still i see children cry,
that man`s face is still etched in my memory ,
still i see my 10 years younger self cry.

Cuddled in the comforting arms of my mother,
asking her
who is that person in the T.V mother?
why doesn't he fells sorry mother, why?

A thousand questions build up and i look at her scared face,
I turn to my father and ask him,
If the people in orange clock will turn up at our door steps next?

No son , my father replied we are miles away,
But i wanted to tell him I knew of a man who also wears that orange cloak,
and gives us sweets when we play near the streets,

I make up my mind that i will never strike again the bells that hung in his corridors,
or play in his street,
what if he also turns into one of those lunatics who turn their dagger with that angry glee.

 We are miles away father, you just said so
then why are you calling the numbers of relatives
who must be miles away from warm too?

My mother still doesnt answer
and clinches my sister more securely in her arms,
and still i don't understand why the person in the T.V sees he has done no harm.

Still fearful I ask my mother if I could go to the school next day,
to which she shouted that she loves me a lot to let me go free.

And 10 years have passed and memories still don`t die,
whenever I am away , my mother asks without asking ,
if i met any harm in the way.

10 long years and i still see children cry,
and still i ask ,
why the man in T.V doesn't feel sorry mother, Why???
