Beauty of Kashmir
The head of India,
Is Jammu and Kashmir,
The climate changes,
When we cross the peer
Kashmir is famous,
For its gardens and lakes,
The boats in row,
The fowls and drakes.
The water of springs,
Is very sweet,
The lanes and streets,
Are very neat.
The plains are large,
Grassy and green
The labour is engaged,
To keep them clean.
Apples and tulips,
When ripe and glow,
The mountains are high,
And covered with snow.
Visitors from abroad,
Come here and stay,
They enjoy in boats,
And cost they pay.
Some envious often,
Create disturbance,
The intellectuals control,
With their influence.
The administration is interested,
To protect the visitors,
The force is deployed,
To curb the traitors.
It is flourishing “day and night”
The ‘God’ is kind,
The domiciles are genial,
With human mind.

Patience
I wonder what does patience mean?
Does it mean to get your lips sealed?
Or it mean to see your soul bleed?
Whatever it means, it makes me forlorn and spills the beans.
I bear the harsh yoke and serve you.
I bow to all your winnings.
Then why can’t you understand my feelings?
Why don’t you accept , “ Yes, I am the part of you”?
If the patience means to lose one’s identity,
Let me merge in you,
And be your soul.
But if the soul will get imprisoned and lose its purity,
Then make the soul to be flew,
Where I’ll be free and no one at me, growl.

Light Of Life
Once I saw a flash of light falling on me.
I follow the light to know about it.
Following it I go on and on.
But to know about it was not so easy.
Once I make up my mind to stop following it.
But is it possible for me ?
So I become ready to accept the challenge.
And I start following it strenuously.
Its end was nowhere, it start was nohere.
But I become aware of it.
The flash & way of light was my life.
And the maker of it was ‘HE’

Deep in mind
Dear Dad,
With your memories deep in mind,
When the golden pages of the
book of my life unwind,
I have so much to find………
You were a great son, father,
teacher and what not!
Your kindness, selflessness,
truthfulness and whatever else
you taught,
Made a difference to the small
world you owned.
Is it the same world?
Hardly does it sound.
No change in the schedule of
worldly affairs,
as they don’t change with people.
The pillar of strength in our litle
world were, however, ‘You’…..
So life with you was not the
same as is without you!
Remember your getting up early….
Giving me hot cup of tea…..
And even in my failures….
Standing by me.
I have saved those unforgettable
pleasant moments deep in the mind,
As time is irreversible, only one
of its kind!
