THE STRANGERS !!!

STRANGERS !!!


Peeping through the closed windows

in the dark alley

two lips have met

like two rays entwined!!!

do they know what is light!!!


In the lap of slush

like two pink petals

two hearts have

blossomed;

do they understand

what is in store for them

on the banks!!!!

O My Myna !!!

O my Myna!
today
as you are smiling and singing
waking , sleeping
in my arms
do you know
the
very next moment
could be the last;
it could turn our existence
to ruins!
the finger of time
could wreck us to extermination!!!


O my Myna!
do you know
the hand from which you have
picked the seed today,
may perish the very next moment;
the falcons may
devour it;
seek them,
 like flames
reach the straws;
we are walking on a narrow
tip of a needle
and the
tip of the needle is very sharp!
Do you know!

O my myna !

ਮੇਰੀ ਮੈਨਾ

ਤੂ ਜੋ ਅੱਜ ਹੱਸਦੀ ਹੈਂ

ਗਾਉਂਦੀ ਹੈਂ

ਮੇਰੀ ਹੋਸ਼ਾਂ 'ਚ ਜਗਦੀ ਹੈਂ

ਮੇਰੀ ਬੁੱਕਲਾਂ 'ਚ ਸੌਂਦੀ ਹੈਂ

ਕੀ ਭਲਾ ਤੈਨੂ ਪਤਾ ਹੈ

ਅਗਲੇ ਹੀ ਪਲ

ਕਯਾਮਤ ਵਰਤ

ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ ;

ਹਾਸਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ

ਮਲਬ੍ਯਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਬਦਲ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ !

ਇਕ ਉਂਗਲੀ ਵਕ਼ਤ ਦੀ

ਹਾਸਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ

ਮਲਬ੍ਯਾਂ ਵਿਚ

ਪਰਤ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ !!

ਮੇਰੀ ਮੈਨਾ !

ਜਿਸ ਤਲੀ ਤੋਂ ਅੱਜ ਤੂੰ

ਚੁਗਯਾ ਹੈ ਚੋਗ

ਸ਼ਿਕਰੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਅਗਲੇ ਹੀ ਪਲ

ਚੂੰਡ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਨ ;

ਹਜ਼ਾਰਾਂ ਪਰਦ੍ਯਾਂ ਔਹਲੇ ਵੀ

ਸ਼ੋਹ੍ਲ੍ਯਾਂ ਵਾਂਗ

ਕਖਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਢੂਂਢ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਨ !

ਸੂਈ ਦੀ ਨੋਕ 'ਤੇ

ਹਾਂ ਤੁਰ ਰਹੇ ਦੋਵੇਂ !

'ਤੇ ਸੂਈ ਦੀ ਨੋਕ

ਤਿਖੀ ਹੈ !

ਕੀ ਭਲਾ ਤੈਨੂ ਪਤਾ ਹੈ ???

You have made me endless

such is your pleasure.

This frail vessel

you empty

again and again,

and fill it ever

with fresh life.

This little flute of a reed

you have carried

over hills and dales

And have breathed

through it

melodies eternally new.

At the immortal touch

of your hands

my little heart loses 

its limits in joy and

gives birth to

utterance ineffable.

Your infinite gifts

come to me only

on these very small

hands of mine.

Ages pass and still

you pour, and still

there is room to fill....


Rabindranath Tagore

DO NOT LEAVE ME ALONE

DO NOT LEAVE ME ALONE !!!!

I am helpless,

My strength,

My crown,

I am empty of virtues,

Where can I go?

Save my honour

For I dedicated myself to you,

And NOW

THERE IS NO ONE ELSE FOR ME!!!

IT IS ALL ABOUT MONEY

Love ? I love love love you. (Photo credit: @Doug88888)

Today listening to this shabad - devotional hymn from Golden Temple Amritsar 'saachi preet hum tum sang jori,' which means 'My Lord I have loved you truly' set me thinking what is true love in the modern day context.

 

Today the people expect some return for loving. We have commercialised even our emotions ...

 

The stories of Heer Ranjha, Mirabai and Radha are not relevant today. These are good only to be listened and taught to children in the text books, and for making paintings and drawings for adorning our walls and  galleries...everythin­g ultimately boils down to 'money'.

There is a full page  advertisement in the newspapers today where a jeweller is offering  'love'  this Valentine season.. they are offering 'attractive' discounts for purchasing jewellery from their shop...a web site designer is ready to give a lower price only because he 'loves' you... You can add the instances manifold from your daily experiences.

The days of 'true love' without any expectations are things of the past...!!!! I have yet to find someone who loves without any ulterior motive...May be I shall find true love one day...

Modern day Love is all about money!!! and it is tragic...
