77. रिश्ता

बंद खिड़की पर इंतज़ार उनका
खुली खिड़की तो मस्ती उनकी

क्या रिश्ता है उनका मुझसे
क्यों खिलती  है कलीयाँ  उनके आने पर

क्यों वीरान होता है शहर  उनके जाने से
क्यों बाट जोहती है जिंदगी  रोज़ नये सिरे से

कोई तो बता दे मेरा यह हाल क्यों है
कोई तो समझा दे आखिर राज़ क्या है?

76.Secrets


Ceaseless wait
Searches for light,
Locked emotions
Gives it a fight.

 Braving odds
Reality strikes,
Brazed facts
Teases it wild.

 Volatile storms
Rages within,
Threatening to pour
From the searching eyes.

Twitching lips
Curl up in pain,
Hiding behind
A plastic smile.

Secrets sealed
Walks life,
Burying  desires
For none to find.

75.Bountiful Nature

Winter swoons
Garden blooms.
Vibrant colours
Spreads its shade.
Crystallized lies
The dewy drops,
Shimmering bright
In the morning light.
Heart with pleasure
Sings at the sight,
Bountiful Nature
You are such a delight.

By Binita Jha

74.Creator aren’t You Ashamed?


Creator aren’t You Ashamed,
Physically strong
Mentally weak,
Inflict atrocities
Defile chastity?

 Creator aren’t You Ashamed,
Tooth and nail
Fights modesty,
Unperturbed by challenges
To save Your grace?

Creator aren’t You ashamed,
Powerful leaders
Sit in judgment,
Blinded by Rules of Book
When Your Rules have been broken?
Creator aren’t You ashamed,
Your creation has put You to shame?
When will You rise?
What keeps You bedded?
Are you deaf to the Humanities cry?

73.Dreams have Learnt


Waiting with baited breath
My dreams were bathed.
Secret wants
Lucid desires
Sat perched in my heart
Dressing me to near perfection .
Making heads turn
With unmasked queries
But you walked away
Messaging your apology
And with it
Rested my worry....
What would I Say.
Dreams have learnt
They know their place.

By Binita Jha


72.Winter

.
Why would we wander
When we want within
Winning winter weeks.
Winter woos
With windy weather
We wriggle within woolens
Walking and working
Weaving warmth.

By Binita Jha

71.Rising to the Situation

In praise
I write of people,
Rising to the Situation
To help unknown.

Re-instilling my faith in human race,
Created by God with all his grace.

Selflessly guided,
They reach out to the needy.
If not for them Situation could be grave.
They are unsung  heroes,
They are truly brave.

Hands of God
Present in them
Keeps me indebted .
Incessant tears roll down in gratitude.
Humanity needs more people
With such attitude.

Samaritans May your race multiply.
May we all rise like You,
When  Situation calls,
Devotedly helping
One who needs us at all.

70.Life and Time

Life and Time
Runs parallel to each other.
Time being the master dictates pace,
Settling the parameters of life.
Life compiles,
Making the best of what there is.
We who plan forget,
Our lives are mapped out for us.
We may not be mute witness,
To each event
Yet at times events of life
Are beyond our control.
Time alone knows,
Life learns to accept.

69.I believe in Thee

O Hope ! Why did you rise in me?
Why did I long to be in your arms?
Look at me now....
Like a rudderless ship I sail,
I have to cross many oceans;
Tides rising within
Drown me,
Yet I know, I will ride
And cross all meadows,
Defeating challenges.
Defying Hopelessness,
I Promise myself.......
No more will such mistakes be made
No more will I cry out in pain.
Though My heart is crushed,
Almost lifeless
Yet I will survive,
And survive well.
Hope You cannot
Have the last laugh.
For I believe in Thee
And He will surely guide.

68. कुछ नहीं बदला है हम में या तुम में

बीतता है हर पल तुझको ढूढने में

भीड़ में हो हम या हो अकेले में

सर्द हो जाती है आहें तेरे इंतजार में

वक़्त गुजरता है दिल को तन्हा छोड़ सीने में

लब्ज़ तेरे जगाते है आज भी आवारगी मुझ में

सांसे गिनती हूँ प्यार लिये तेरा अपने दिल में

जानती हूँ कुछ नहीं बदला है हम में या तुम में

पर सब कुछ बदल दिया है जिम्मेदारियों ने हम में ।

67.Warm in love

With Spring in their footstep
Lovers alight life's lane,
Forgetting the Autumn
Caused by distance insane.

Fire in their heart
Leaps like Summer heat,
Reflecting in eyes
Flushing on cheeks.

Entwined in thoughts
Oblivious to the world
Love stands tall
Challenging destiny..

No Winter has the strength
To freeze their feelings.
Warm in  love
They brave the Chill.

66.प्रकृति


आखरक नs भरोसे प्रकृति
बिन आखरे सबटा बजैत प्रकृति

पात में रूप सजौने प्रकृति
फूलक सुगंधसँ गम्कैत प्रकृति

सूर्य आर चान सन चमकैत प्रकृति
कल-कल बहैत झरना सन चहकैत  प्रकृति

रास करैत चिरै चुनमुनीक संग अछि प्रकृति
प्रेमीक प्रेम में निःशब्द आंखि लड़बैत प्रकृति

बिन कहने सबटा कहैत प्रकृति
आखरक कहाँ भेल मोहताज  प्रकृति

aakharak nai bharosae prakriti
bin aakharae sabta bajaith prakriti

paat mai rup sajaunae prakriti
phulak sugandh sa gamkait prakriti

surj aar chaan sa chamkait prakriti
kal kal bahait jharna san chakaith prakriti

ras karait chirai chunmun sang achi  prakriti
premi k prem mein nishabd aikh larbait prakriti

bin kahnaeo sabta kahaith prakriti
aakharak kaha bhel mohtaj prakriti

65.हसीन वक्त का लिये रोशनी दिल में........

हसीन वक्त का लिये रोशनी दिल में
अंधेरी रातों में हम उजाला ढूंढ लाते हैं

कानो में गुंजती है दिलकश आवाज उनकी
मुग्ध हो उनमें हम सर्वस्व लूटाते हैं

दुर वो कोशो  क्यों ना हो हमसे
दिल के बहुत करीब उन्हें सदा पाते हैं

जब बहती है मदमस्त पवन
हम उससे लिपट खुश हो जाते हैं

दुनियाँ कहती है अगर प्यार इसको
तो हम भी प्रेम रस  में नहाते  हैं।

63.Hunger For Change

Showers from heaven joins the Brook
Gurgling on its way
As it gallops through the woods
Hungering to meet the River in its flight
It keeps travelling non stop
Through the days and night
The river winds it way through fields and dwelling 
Settling perhaps to meets the Ocean in the plains.
Yet their hunger is unsatisfied.
Soon we find them in the clouds
Pouring down as rain 
To join the brook again.
And this Hunger
For Change remains
Be it a Brook
Or Life in any lane.

62.****आतंक का अंत**** -----21.11.12---- उतपाती कसाब


नाश कर सबका
 तू क्या पछतायेगा
फिर वही तांडव 
अगर छोड़  दिया जायेगा
जिस दिन से आया तू 
कयामत आ गयी
जिसको भी चाहा संभाल कर रखना
तुने उसे  मार गिराया 
ना तेरा आतंक घटा है 
ना घट पायेगा कभी 
छुट गया जो कैद से
तू फिर गज़ब ढाएगा
क्या करते भरोसा तुझ पर
तू तो जेल  में  भी था  उतपाती  बड़ा
तुझ से बेहतर तो है चुहा कैद में
कम से कम उत्पात कर  है सहमा पड़ा 
तुझ जैसे कभी ना  सुधरे है 
ना  सुधर पायेंगे उतपाती  कसाब 
फांसी पर चढ़ा कर आज तुझे 
यह देश तेरे  गुनाहों  से मुक्त  हो पाया है ।

61.Why does this Nation Celebrate Children's Day ?

As I wish my Children
Happy Children's Day,
My mind is filled with Questions
Answers to which I search Each Day.
Pacing Up and Down
On the floor of my Room
I am lost in the Maze
Of Unanswered  Questions.............
Why are Children Homeless?
Why do they Sleep Hungry ?
Do they have Parents?
Are they Orphans?
Are they Abandoned?
Why is fate so Cruel,
For the most Innocent?
Faced with Child Abuse
How will they Survive?
How many Children,
How long will we Sacrifice?
These Questions rob my Peace
I am Crippled..........................
Why does this Nation Celebrate Children's Day ?
When still such Pathetic conditions Prevail!!!


By Binita Jha.

60.Smile


Captivated and enchanted
I am drawn towards my baby,
She smiles back at me
Erasing the troubles of the Day.

The innocence in her eyes 
Charms me no end.
She Warms my heart
By enlivening my spirits.

Her Smile and laughter
Fills me with happiness and content.
I hold her in my arms 
Knowing well I am charmed.

59.आँसूओं से क्या डरना

आँसूओं  से क्या डरना 
ये तो मोती है दामन के

जब कभी कुचलती  है दुनिया
बन जाते  है यह अनमोल  गहने

इनकी  आगोश में  सुकून खोजता मनु 
पर सुकून के पास भी अब वक़्त कहा

एक दरिया सी  है जिंदगी
हर शकस  को है बहना यहाँ

अगर बहा सको तो बहा लो आँसु ख़ुशी के
इस दुनिया में और किसी की पूछ  कहाँ 

बिनीता झा 



58.दीप कही था कही थी बाती



एक ऐसी शाम निराली
दीप कही था
कही थी बाती 
तरस रहे थे 
मिलन को दोनों 
पर किस्मत उस दिन 
उनकी  थी  खाली 
आग लगी थी 
दिल में  उनके 
धधक रहे थे 
सुलग रहे थे 
बिछड़   के दोनों 
सिसक रहे थे 
मन ही मन में 
समझ गये थे
वो बात सुहानी 
एक दूजे बिन
उनकी कोई नहीं कहानी ।


ek aisi shaam nirali 
deep kahi tha
kahi thi baati
taras rahae thae
milan ko dono
par kismat us din
unki  thi khalee
aag lagi th
 dil mai unkae
dhadak rahae thae
sulag rahae thae
bichar k  dono
seesak rahae thae
maan hi maan mai
samajh gayae tha
wo ek baat suhani 
 ek dujae bin
unki koi nahi  kahanai

57.CANDLE of HOPE

Pack Up!!
The Gongs of Destiny Announced.
Forcing them to Flee
At Midnight Hour.
Thinking the phase would pass Soon,
They took refuge in a Hotel's Room.
Fate had other Plans
Normalcy in the Valley
Was not meant for its Clan.
Resources Dwindled,
Poverty Swindled,
Hardship and Hopelessness Reigned
Refugees they were called in their New Domain.
A little Girl of fourteen than, knew it Well,
She had to bring her Family out of this Hell.
CANDLE of HOPE burnt strong in her Heart.
Armed with just a High School Mark Sheet,
She Challenged Life at every Meet.
Night and Day She burnt the Midnight oil
For Completing her lessons, She did toil.
Traversing on Foot 
She crossed several Miles
Managing to earn Enough
To Improve her Plight.
Now She and her family are Well Placed
Having Successfully Crossed
The Barricade of Troubled Days.
And even Today  She Spreads
Warmth in the Air wherever She Treads
Teaching Us never to  Despair
Reminding Us Nothing Stays.
Rekindling the Burnt out Fire in our Heart
Like a true CANDLE She Lights our Path.

56.कोई ........नहीं


कान्हा सन कोई प्रीत नहीं 
                       रूठ कर उनसे कोई जीत नहीं 
उनके  धुन  बिन कोई गीत नहीं
उनके बिन कोई रीत नहीं
उनसे   सुंदर कोई मीत नहीं  
 कान्हा सा दूजा  कोई प्रीत नहीं

55. भूखल


झरना अछि भूखल
नदी सँ भेंट लेल
नदी अछि भूखल
समुद्र सँ भेंट लेल
भूख ओकर ओहिना
भूख सँ व्याकुल फेर
उर्री गेल आकाश
बनि गेल ओ मेघ
बरिस पड़ल फेर आई धरती पर
करै लैल झरना स भेंट
ई भूख छी प्रकृति के देन
आई भूख स नै बची सकल कोई
की झरना की मनुख

54.तनहाई



 आँखें फिर नम हुई 
 मन फिर  हूँआ   परेशान 
बात पहले भी कुछ नहीं थी 
बात आज भी कुछ नयी नहीं  है
मुखौटे  में  मुस्कुराता है हर चेहरा
लिये दिल में गज़ब  की तनहाई ।

53.Destiny













Destiny engraves itself at every birth
Embroiling life with its gingerly touch
Solemnly we follow all her calls
Taunting adversities fighting with fate
Impregnated with worries life lives in a dismal state
Nauseated we may bow to the predestined
Yet yearn to rise above Fate and Destiny.

By Binita Jha

52.Poverty



Darkness
Enveloped  the crude reality
Which in the daylight
Stood out stark and bright.
Huddled sat
The mother and her child
 Clad barely in  rags for their bodies to hide.
Merciless Cold Winds
Ripped them apart
Yet the two sat in a tight embrace
Shivering non stop
 In their pitiable state
Weary and famished
They fought for life
Consoling each other
Hoping for better days
Trying not to succumb
To their physical state.
But
One Cold Morning The Young Life
Could take it no more
The mother was left with incessant  tears....
In  her lap
Was her Cold Child.
Sacrificed
To Abject Poverty.

51.Politics




Politics and Truth are parallel lines
With no chance of a meet ever in time.

Toughest job is to camouflage one's emotions
Surprisingly the politicians do it without a commotion.

Thriving diligently on public relation
Maneuvering life is their required ration.

Public Funds are their healthy appetizer
Counter Allegations act as their synthesizer .

Changing before the wink of an eye
From lies they can never shy.

Killing their conscious politicians shine
The Game of Politics is their Holy Shrine.

50.हमराज







रिश्तों  की  बेड़ियों  मे जीता है तू 
तू खुश नहीं इसका अह्सास है मुझको 

हर किसी को खुश करने की चाहत है तुझमें 
पर खुद घुट- घुट के  जीता  है लगता मुझको 

तेरे  लबों पर मुसकान  तो  है बिखरी 
पर आंखें सूनी सूनी दिखती है मुझको 

लाखों  जख्म तू ने  छुपाये है  दिल मे  
तेरे  चहरे पे साफ नज़र आता  है मुझको 

ना  कहना यह  महज  है मेरा वहम 
अगर जाना जरा सा भी है  तुने मुझको 

तेरी खुशियाँ  है सिर्फ चाहत मेरी 
क्या बना सकता है हमराज तू अपना मुझको??
