WORDS FOREVER

Often my eyes wander, Searching here and there, To see you and steal a view, So lovely and charming of you. Often I notice you unkind, with your company or behind, Moking and laughing at me, But you cannot judge thee- The love, mine towards ye, For, Love for you is a fun, a spree, A time-pass, a game for free, But for me it's divine & sincere Which is eternal and for ever. Rajiv.22.11.1998.

Farewell sweet love, farewell thy; For nothing you were, but A facy, a charming illusion, Like a mere drop of dew, a falling star, That existed and glittered a moment, And the other moment died. You may forget but how can I - Your rosy cheeks, your lovely eyes, Your caressing hands, claiming for me to die. Don't you remember as ever do I, Those joyful happy moments, And pleasant dreamy days, Singing together like birds, And often making celestial vows, Either to live together for ever, or to die Don't you remember as ever do I ? But all your love for me, now dead, And you have your mind firmly made, To shake for ever, off your hand, And hear no more, my silent dying cry, So farewell my love, farewell thy. Rajiv.11.02.1998

ठहरो क्षण भर मेरे लिए, अपनी उस अविराम यात्रा में; साथी बनूंगा मैं तुम्हारा, क्योंकि मैं भी राही हूँ उसी राह का, और आ रहा हूँ तुम्हारी ओर, अपनी संपूर्ण गति के साथ। सोचो मत कि होगा विलंव, मेरी यात्रा भी है अनवरत, औऱ जगता हूँ हर सुबह मैं, अपने अंत के होकर और करीब; मेरा प्रतिक्षण एक झुकाव, और प्रति प्रहर है, उठा एक कदम उस ओर। सुनो मेरी धड़कन, एक मीठी आवाज़ जो कह रही है अनवरत् कि 'मैं आ रहा हूँ, मिलूँगा तुमसे एक दिन इस सफ़र के अवसान पर। राजीव।28-11-1999

अक्सर मैं सोचता हूँ, चुपचाप, ग़ुम सुम, क़ि कितनी बार बुने मैंने सतरंगे सपने, और कितनी बार टूटे मेरे अरमान। किसे दूँ इसका दोष? खुद को, या वक़्त को या फिर इस खोखले समाज और इसकी  तथाकथित मर्यादा को, जो फल फूल रहा है हम जैसे मासूमों की इच्छाओं सपनों और  अरमानों की कब्र पर।

  दो पायों की भीड़ में, मिलता नहीं कोई आदमी, जो महसूस कर सके, किसी का आदमी होना, या एहसास दिला सके, अपने आदमी होने का, भाग रहे है सब सीधे सरपट, आधुनिकता की अंधी दौड़ में, फुरसत नहीं किसी को, एक क्षण देखने की, दायें या बाएं, जहाँ चीथड़ो में लिपटी जिंदगी,  बिलबिला रही है कीड़ो सी, कचरे के ढेर पर.

Hardly had the birds started chirping, When the very first ray of the morning, peeped gently through my window, And whispered,"wake up my bro". With pleasant warmth it caressed my face, And asked me to prepare for the day's race, It prompted,"Look! The beauty all around", And enjoy the bounty of the Nature unbound. Looking around I enjoyed the glow of the golden ray, And the silvery dewdrops on grasses green and gray, Listened the musical of the morning's gentle breeze, Which filled my gloomy heart with happiness and ease. Thus I thanked the beauty and the bounty of the Nature, And started my day on a happy note and full of vigour.

MY SILENT WISH Whenever I see, These little angels, Playing happily around, I envy thee, and yells, With silent wish, To take a rebaund, And become a child. What a pleasure, What their days, Nothing to bother, And free from frays. They are the master, They are the king, They are the birds, Without a wing. Not an enemy, A lot many friends, Free from agonies, That's their trends. Often I do wish, To be one of them, Whom I ever MISS.

Still your lovely, charming face, Keeps floating in my eyes. Still I deeply feel, The warmth of your breath, And your head with darkened hair, Bowed down on my shoulder, Like the clouds far away, To kiss the top of the hills. But all these are bygone and past, And nothing I can do but repent, Which has become my fate........ ..............till the last breath.

flickr.com  In the still moments Of my solitariness, Often my emotions, Takes a flight, And reach back to The time by-gone, And opens a vast world Of sweet and bitter memories. Though it's a painful passion But still it gives some sound lesson: Nothing lasts forever - Neither the agonies Nor the pleasure. With the time rolling on, Everything in life is bound, To change in due course, So, never lose the patience And never lose your hope.

fotocommunity.com In my lonely nights, Far away from home, When I see the sky, Full of stars and bright Silently I roam, Deep, down in my memories. Memories -- sweet and charming, When I was Free from all carings; When my father Took all cares for me; When my mother, Took guard against oddities; When my brothers and sisters Pampered me like an angel, When I was Fully ignorant of worldly ways. Now, the ever-changing time, Has left me alone, To face the worldly storm and rain, In a place far away and foreign. Sweer, I will do it at my best As survival is only for the fittest. Spreading lights and, Stars fading away, Are the indications Of approaching day, Giving a message - 'Not be dismayed'; For, the days of alien-ness Are running away.

funonthenet.in PAIN OF BROKEN LOVE When someone, whom you love, leaves, Life becomes painful suffering, a grief, Dreams shatter, desires die, Heart is broken, emotions stop to fly.
