jis ke liye hum jeete hain,
woh hum ko maar ke chala gaya

hum umar ke sapne le baithe,,,
woh raat guzaar ke chala gaya !

SPRING !

SPRING!

Yellow, dry jingling, chiming leaves
I picked in the full moon nights
pleasant, beautiful  dreams
I knitted in the silence of nights!

''ਬਸੰਤ''

ਪੀਲੇ, ਸੁੱਕੇ, ਛਣ ਛਣ  ਕਰਦੇ ਪੱਤੇ
ਮੈਂ ਚਾਨਣੀਆਂ  ਰਾਤਾਂ 'ਚ  ਚੁਣੇ ,
ਬਸੰਤ ਵਰਗੇ ਹਸੀਨ ਖਵਾਬ ,
ਮੈਂ ਰਾਤ ਦੀ ਚੁੱਪ ਵਿਚ ਉਣੇੰ !

(Panjabi transcript)
बसंत
पीले, सुक्के, छन छन करदे पत्ते
मैं चननीआं रातां 'च चुने
बसंत वर्गे हसीन ख्वाब
मैं रात दी चुप विच उंने !

LET MY SONGS SOB !!

Image via Wikipedia

The frgrance of
crimson flowers
has kissed my cheeks!
Has some fine bend
come to the path of my life....!

The goal has come to
me...without asking;
I have always been kissing
the dusty pathways of my life!

Give me back sorrows of my songs,
return my nights longing for tryst,
let my emptiness be doubled,
let my songs sob uncontrollably!

I am standing at the crossroads
watching my friends depart
for a weekend rendezvous,
this weekend is like a sword
hanging on my head!

My boat is old
and the mast is broken
the sails are tattered
unable to hold the wind!

My songs can only sob
Let my songs sob;
O my Life!

THE DRIZZLE !

Image by Beth Sargent via Flickr

It is a drizzle...now
slow, endearing to heart
cascading ;
rustle in the leaves
soothing music to the soul.
my tattered shirt
sufficient to envelop
both of us
lost to outward existence
Bliss!
eyes entranced
hands clasping
lips sealed;
sweet smell of wet skins
walking in dazed daydream;
Drifting in a dinghy
oceans conspiring with
blood on mind
shrill ear splitting howls of
wild waves leaping with
hands outstretched to strangulate
two helpless emotions.

Walking, steps in tandem
with unflinching faith....unmindful;

The drizzle has stopped;
It is pouring rain now
drenching our souls
we crouch under my 
tattered shirt,
oblivious of the prying eyes
united in eternity!!!!!!!

''RAAM''

Main eh kehdi thanh te aaya
na jithe da kheda
jithe nahaaran da saaya!

Poore chaudan varhe main ghumyaa
aapne bachanan di aabru layi
purkhan de paye poorneyan 'te
poore chaudhan bhatkya !

Palkaan de naal kande chuge
jeebhaan utte thhoohen ladaye
shanke shakkan bharman de naal
jad hoiaan jindan nu tumbya
ghor gunaahan nu gall laya!

Vishwasaan da jootha khadha
shardha da angan mehkaya,
sone de mirgan ne chhalya
kayi shoopnakhan bharmaya!

Kayi daitan de aahoo lahe
seene vich lukay Ravan nu
kayi main maar mukaya!
poore chadhan varhyan magron
wapas puri Ajudhia aaya!

Meri ghalna seeta utte
ik dhobi ne dooshan laya
Aah! main jeevan da ik hissa
nir arthak nirmool gawaya!

Poore chaudhan varhyan magron
main eh kehdi thanh 'te aaya
na jithe jittan da kheda
jithe na haaran da saaya !

राम 
 मैं एह केहड़ी  थांह ते आया 
ना जिथे जित्तां दा खेडा 
जिथे ना हारण दा साया !


पूरे चौधां वरहे मैं घुमया 
आपणे बचना दी आबरू लई 
पुरखा दे पाए पूर्नयां ते 
पूरे चौदह वरहे भटक्या !

पालकां दे नाल कंडे चुगे 
जीभा उत्ते ठूहें लड़ाए 
शंके शक्का भरमा दे नाल 
जड़ होइआ जिन्दा नु तुन्ब्या 
घोर गुन्हान नु गल लाया !

विश्वासा दा जूठा खाधा 
शारदा दा आंगन महकाया 
सोने दे मिरगा ने छल्या
लई शूपनखा भरमाया !

कई दैता दे आहू लाहे
सीने विच लुके रावण नु 
पूरे चौदह वरहेया मगरों 
वापस पुरी अजुधिया आया !

मेरी घालणा सीता उत्ते 
इक धोबी ने दूषण लाया 
आह! मैं जीवन दा इक हिस्सा 
ऩिरअर्थक ऩिर मूल गवाया !

पूरे चौदह वर्हया मगरों 
मैं एह केहड़ी थांह ते आया 
ना जिथे जित्ता दा खेडा 
जिथे ना हारण दा साया !!!
