176. Bloom,Bloom, O Beauty !

Bloom, Bloom, O Beauty !
Bloom and fill each heart with joy.
Bloom, Bloom O delicate bud !
Bloom and spread the essence of love.


Bloom to unfurl thy ruby petal
Bloom to teach us lessons of love
Bloom to spread hopeful ray
Bloom to enhance a deary day.

Bloom, Bloom, O Beautiful Rose!
Bloom and fill the courtyard with  fragrance.
Bloom to be laid at the deity's feet
Bloom to knit strong bonds of love.

175.Me

A complete strangers
Stares back at me
As I look in the mirror
Searching for my reflection.
The carefree woman I was
Has been lost.

To my surprise
There stands a woman
Who is judged
For what she speaks and does.
While performing her duties.
No more there is a need
To be understood
No more she can be herself
Things have changed.

I get a daunting feeling
One which won't disappear
These changes are irreversible
The mirror reflects the change
This complete stranger is now me.

174.जिनगी.....

जिनगीकेँ खेलक अलगे मिठास 
कखनो देत आस आ कखनो निराश

जे क्यो बुझि गेल ई छोट छिन बात
जिनगी नै करतै तकरा हदास 

बात धेने नै भेटत ककरो किछू
बेस बढ़ने निकहो टा हैत नाश 

आगा पाछा के बारे मे की सोचै छि
कर्म करू आर राखु अपना पर विश्वास

दुःख सुख संगी ऐ जीवनक
करनीकेँ राखू अपन टा ख़ास

173 .के सुनाई अछि ककर बाबू

के सुनैत अछि ककर बाबू
सब लागल ऐ ठा अपन भजयमे

मोह,माया,नेह सब झूठक बाबू
सभके सभ अपना दुनिया दारीमे

जँ बजलौं त' मुँहजोरक उलहन बाबू
लागल दुनिया आरोप प्रत्यारोपणमे

सब लागल अनका पर आंगुर उठाबै मे बाबू
बिसरल आंगुर त' चारिटा अपनों दिशामे

मोन परैत अछि अहाँक कहब बाबू
चाही दू टा हाथ थपड़ी बजबैमे

172.No words can describe true feelings

No words can describe true feeling
No words can undo the excruciating sufferings.
The eyes run stream of incessant tears
Smearing the cheeks
Soaking our pillow.
As we silently await fate
The walls close in
Suffocating us no end.
Lonely and sad we remain
For no words can express true feeling
Perhaps time can only reveal if we ever heal.

171.Sparrows

O ! chirping sparrows,
How busily you chirp?
Keeping aside
All thoughts that trouble,
I peep and glance at you.
Unaware you prance and  move
Singing melodious note
As you complete your chores
In  harmonious company.

O ! tiny bird,
How strong are your wings?
Its flutter raises hope in my heart
I wish to scale the sky and sing
And be just as carefree.
Will you teach me your simplicity?
Will you share with me
How to co exist in peace ?
I can't help but envy
The life that you live.
