Round and Round and Round

We run and run round and round
Looking for answers that are to be found
Difficult choices we make, Hard decisions we take
Sometimes for ourselves sometimes for others' sake

Decisions that hurt, decisions that heal
And sometimes you don't know what to feel
Sometimes they just tear you apart
And you hope something good it will start

Life goes on running in a circle round and round
And always there are answers to be found
Life goes on running in a circle chasing life itself
Old things from past life decaying on the shelf

There is no awakening, there are no answers
Every part of the heart aches with cancers
You want the present to gel with the past
You wish everyone is happy you want it all to last

Blindfolded you just move ahead in a narrow alley
Hoping you will be lucky to find happiness valley
And in a circle life goes on round and round and round
you just hear voices and no answers to be found

I, Angel, Self and God

I asked an angel please tell me who am I?
She came in my dreams and took me to sky.
She showed me an ocean, calm and wild.
A smooth surface, with under currents inside,
She told me this is you; the surface is what people see,
And then she added; the heart is what you hide.

I asked the self please tell me why do I feel the divide?
He took my hand and guided me outside.
He showed me a man shackled in golden chain,
And his heart was covered in solid cold steel.
He told me, this is why you are in so much pain,
Chained by materialism, where your heart can’t feel.

I asked god please tell me how should I be?
He carried me inside to see.
He showed me himself, at once an adult and child,
He told me this is how you should be.
Wonder at all the storms treat them as mild,
And keep learning what river teaches the sea.

कठिनाइयाँ

जीवन के इस पथ पर

आएँगी कठिनाइयाँ अगर।

विचलित मत होना सोचो तो

वो हैं इश्वर की ही रचनायें मगर। ।

उन सभी कठिनाईयों से ही तो

बनता है चरित्र हमारा।

सिखाती हैं यह हमें

गलतियाँ ना हो दोबारा। ।

सारी कठिनाईयों से गुजर के

सोना बनकर उभरोगे तुम जभी।

लगेंगी वो कठिनाएं तुम्हें अच्छी

जैसे होती हैं इश्वर की देन सभी। ।
