95.Narrow Escape

Peace terminated

Fear germinated.
Ruthless attackers,
Had all petrified.
Stupefied, life was fortified.
In terror pavilion
Pleas for mercy
Was lost in oblivion .
Terror monks showed no courtesy.
They had their hostages play host
To cross the town and police  post.
Out of town on deserted street,
Darkness enveloped.
Suddenly a new command....Run!!
Lifting hem they did as told
Fearing now to be shot dead.
Tears blinded their vision
Yet they ran as if on a mission.
Collapsing in familiar lanes
Only on sighting their loved ones .
Little had they known that morn
As they sat and wrote their college exam,
Destiny had formulated some other  plan.
Answer script still lay clutched in their fist
Playing sole witness to their ordeal.
Unprepared unaware the brave girls
Had faced life's toughest exam
With no scope for mistake.
Horror of that day they live each day
Feeling blessed for their narrow escape.

94.Corridors of life

Corridors  of life

Shows us the strife

Faced by unknown
Battling in pain ,

While we crib

Worrying about mundane.
The nauseating 
Cloak of hospital,

Syringe and antiseptic

Suffocates and stifles.

Yet brave hearts
Facing adversities

In wheel chair and ICU

Manage to smile

Knowing well

Life has bestowed

Upon them

Another spring.

By Binita Jha

93.Charmed by Spring

Joy doubles

As Spring  alights,

Blinding troubles

With great delight.

In its presence

Desires sprout,

Humming like bees

We buzz around ,

Hoping to gather

The essence of life.

Tender heart flutters

Like a  butterfly,

Trying to catch

The  splendor of life.

Renewed with energy  

Blessed we feel

Just like a bird

With new found wings.

The sensuous breeze

Caresses  our  face

Snug  we coil up

Charmed by Spring.

92.My Motherland

Supreme faith in our constitution

Has been revived once again.

Common man moves today

With head held high.

Law of Land

Spreads its light.

Punishing the guilty

Re-instilling our faith.

 Once again the world has witnessed

The fair trial of the most dreaded

Once again they have learnt

Not to test our Tolerance

Today or ever.

 We spare none

Be it a foreigner

Or an Indian.

To gallows

We put terrorist

Who live only to terrorize.

 Justice cannot be nipped.

We cannot compromise.

Largest democracy of the world

Shines bright

Imparting justice

To all alike.

Let us all rise

And unite

To appreciate the fair

Governance of our land.

 May The  Divine Light

Bless my motherland

INDIA.

91.My Prayer

Into the light of your vision
Awaken me each day.
Guide me on my difficult path
Let me never stray.
May light at the end of each dark tunnel
Bring confidence in my stride.
Bestow upon my dark thoughts
Your ever widening Spectrum of light.
Fill the void in my life
With  your love and compassion.
Lend your ears
To my prayer,
I humbly seek
Your Grace and benevolence.
Light my path
In troubles and good times.

90.Tender Feelings

Tender feelings unifies me
With You my love.
Your heart of gold
Makes me bold
I dare to behave like a kid
Overwhelmed by love.

Sharing ,loving caring
Is our daily bonding.
We are so different
Yet so alike
Perhaps that is what
Keeps us going strong.


Life can never have
A dull moment
With you around.
In You my sweetheart
My soul finds true mate
And each moment becomes precious.

89..बोल

बोल जौं रखबह ओल सन,
सभ किछु जेतह हेरा।
संग जे चलय छलाव,
दुखीभ' तोहर से जेतह बिला।                                                                
क्यौ ने हेतह तोरा संग,
तू सभ दिन रहि जेबह प्यासल,
तौं की तकै छह बाट ककरो।
बोल बनाबह अपन मिसरी सन,
भ' जा आबहुं तू बुधियार।
दुनिया छह आस लगौने,
तोरे पर छै ओकरा विस्वास।

88.चैन

जखन गेलौं चैन लग बैसय,                                                                            
ओ मुँह बिचकाकँ पड़ा गेल।                                                                         
पहिने घुमय छल अंगना मे,                                                                       
ने कहि कतह आब बिला गेल।                                                                    
जखन गेलौं ओकरा दुनियाँ मे ताकय,                                                           
बिच्चे मे बाट हमर अपने हेरा गेल।                                                                 
कहियो भरमाकँ सपना देखौने छल,                                                               
आइ काज परल तं आंगन मे बैसल छोऱि गेल।                                                    
ओ जे गेल तं चलिये गेल,                                                                             
दिन-राति बाट सभ ताकैत रहि गेल।

jakhan gailau chyn lag baisa
o muh bichka kae para gail
pahinae ghumai chal aangana mae
nai kahi kata aab bila gail
jakhan  gailau okra duniya mae taka
bichbmae baat humar apnae hara gail
kahiyo bhramak swapn dekhaunae chal
aai kaaj paral ta angan mae baisal chori gail
o jae gail ta  chaliyae gail
din rayt baat sab takaiyt rahi gail.

87.Mirage

Each mirage
Ends up in wild chase
Increasing thirst
In that phase.
Defying the sayings of old sage
We run towards it in total daze
Stumbling on our way
To encounter truth
With pounding heart
In total dismay.

By Binita Jha

86.We still Hope

Expectations have often understood
The fallacy of pining for hope
Yet undaunted it rises
With each one longing for more.
A momentary satisfaction
Befools each age
Trapped in its maze
We still hope.



By Binita Jha

85. हौसला

बुझता  चिराग आज फिर से जगमगाया
चंद शब्दों में  जब तेरा पैगाम आया
देखि बुलंदी मैने  आज उसके क़दमों में 
हौसला जो आज तूने  उसका बढाया

आज फिर मैंने  देखा उसको चहकते
आज फिर थे उसने  कई ख्वाब सजाये
तेरे साथ ने दी उसको हिम्मत
आज फिर वह  खिल कर मुस्कुराई

जब तहे दिल से तुमने उसको अपनाया
उसने फिर अपना खोया विश्वास पाया
यु तो करते है लोग बातें बहुत दिलासा भरी 
पर हौसलाए  हिम्मत  उसने सिर्फ तुम से पाया

84.Waiting

Seeking nothing
Life was smooth.
Perturbed it got
With a wish for moon.
Periphery changed
Strangers became friend
But the self within
As if in a trance
Roamed lonely
Up and down the lane
Waiting in eternity
Just to hear from you.
