माया

माया 

संसार मे डूब कर देखा ,हाथ पकड़ में आई माया। 

छाया जैसी  बन गई माया,यह मिट्टी की है काया। 

पल पल हसाया,पल पल रुलाया,

हर पल सोया,खुद को ही गाया। 

तन भी खोया, मन से खोया ,

कण कण खोया,जग में भुलाया। 

जहाँ  तहाँ  का खाया ,कुछ नहीं भाया,

ऐसा नाट्य रचाया ,फिर तू पछताया। 

अपंग सा तू बन गया ,

जब यम का बुलावा आया। 

अब समझ में आया,

क्या थी यह संसार की माया !

Pissed

Pissed

Someone insisted the pissed

To face every twist

And never to resist,

In order to exist

One must persist.

One mustn't get pissed

When one's name gets missed

In a list.

One mustn't feel dismissed,

One must feel free

To join a 'Unique Class' list.

Instead of getting pissed,

Let the thoughts get a twist.
Let the mind consist

Valuable thoughts 
Which none can extinguish.

Valuable thoughts would assist

To increase the self worth.
Then the name would never get missed

In any valuable list.

YOU

YOU

Ordinary becomes special

Once it feels You.

Many are in search of You

But You choose to reveal yourself

To a few.

Ones who found You

Can't say they found You

Because the day they felt You

They got lost in You.

Some Time

SOME TIME

There's 'some time' left,

I'll knock around.

There isn't any time left,

In 'some time'

Nothing could be done,

So I'll knock around.

There's only 'some time',

So I'll fulfill my desires

Of grabbing things and pounds.

Then in Mathematics

Integration was taught

And its link with 'some time' was revealed.

'Some time' summed together

Would make up my whole Life!

What I do in 'some time'

Is what I do in Life.
The lesson was forgotten in 'some time'.

When 'some time' was left to fade away,

When in 'some time'

I met my true self,

I realised,

I wasted my life

In useless desires.

I was highly indebted to souls

Who helped me,

Who gave me their 'some time'.

I didn't give anyone 'some time'.

I didn't value 'some time'.

Oh Lord!Please give me 'some time'

To make my life worth.

Give me 'some time'

To thank who helped me.

Give me 'some time'

To help others.

Give me 'some time'

Not to knock around

But to utilize.

At least give me 'some time'

To clear the debts of all times.

In 'some time',

'Some time' seemed to be very valuable.

The way small rectangles

covered the whole area,

'Some time',

covered the whole life.

સ્વચ્છતા અને પવિત્રતા

સ્વચ્છતા  અને  પવિત્રતા 

શરૂ થયું અભિયાન 

સ્વચ્છતા નુ,

જરૂરી હતુ  એક વિકલ્પ 

પવિત્રતા નુ । 

પવિત્રતા હશે તો સ્વચ્છતા રહેશેજ 

પણ જ્યાં બધું સ્વચ્છ દેખાતુ હોય  

શું ત્યાં પવિત્રતા અનુભવાય છે?

 આજુ બાજુ છે બધું રળિયામણું 

પણ મન નથી સોહામણું ,

શરૂ  થયું છે અભિયાન 

પણ માનવ કરે છે દેહાભિમાન ।

વિચાર મા આવશે પ્રમાણિકતા 

ને જ્યોત પ્રગટશે ભીતર મા ,

તોજ ઉજાસ પ્રસરશે જીવન મા ।

In the process of falling in debt

And repaying debt Life gets over or begins!

Individual parts,

Then Individual moves

A step forward in queue.

દીકરી કહે "ટાટા"

સાથે ઉમેરે ,

TEA

TEA

When the schedule goes busy

And you feel sleepy,

You stop being brainy

And you want to feel homely,

Then have the Tea,

To feel free,

To remove laziness,

And gain back freshness.

WAKE UP

WAKE UP

You would eventually break up    

Source: Google Images

And leave make up,

When you wake up.

Then you would untiringly shake up

Your mind, to take up

Your thoughts for a take off

That would make

Your surroundings

Experience a blissful get up.
