Mistakes

There are mistakes,

about which one does not knows,

and he is forgiven,

if he commits any of those,

but there are mistakes,

about which one already knows,

and he hurts his fate,

when he commits any of those,

and this is where the difference,

lies between a wise and a fool,

between a learned and a child in school,

the holy would never repeat something wrong,

while the stubborn would keep on hurting,

his feet on the way from the same thorn,

and this is how and this is why,

while some men and women,

keep on rising and earn heavenly fame,

while the others would,

keep on falling and put themselves to shame.

At the touch of your love

At the touch of your love,

i have become a poet,

and nothing more i seek of you,

now a days whole of my time,

goes into thinking,

for this beautiful gift,

how could i repay you.


At the touch of your love,

flowers have blossomed in my heart,

and day and night,

with their sweet fragrance,

they keep on cheering me,

and i keep on thinking,

for this sweetness in my life,

what could i share with you.


At the touch of your love,

my heart and eyes,

have opened to a new dawn,

and i am able to see the life,

in the ways i had never seen,

and i keep on thinking,

for this newness in my life,

what new could i present to you.


At the touch of your love,

i have become admirer of life,

every moment now i am happy,

and i keep on seeking,

more and more light and life,

and for this transformation in me,

i keep on thinking,

what could i do for you.

ਬੱਚ ਬੱਚ ਕੇ ਹਰ ਥਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਚੱਲ ਬੱਲੀਏ!

 Corona se bach ke


ਮੌਤ ਪਈ ਕਰੇ ਫਿਰੇ ਗਲੀਆਂ ਚ ਨਾਚ ਬੱਲੀਏ,

ਕਾਲ ਨਾਲ ਕਰੇ ਦਿਨ ਰਾਤ ਇਹ ਰਾਸ ਬੱਲੀਏ,

ਘੋੜਾ ਕਿੱਧਰੇ ਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਹੁਣ ਐਵੇਂ ਨਾ ਦੱਬਲੀਏ,

ਬੱਚ ਬੱਚ ਕੇ ਹਰ ਥਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਚੱਲ ਬੱਲੀਏ!


ਨਾ ਮੰਦਰਾ, ਨਾ ਮਸੀਤਾਂ, ਨਾ ਡੇਰਿਆਂ ਚ ਜਾ,

ਨਾ ਹੀ ਗੇੜੇ ਐਵੇਂ ਸਦਰ ਬਜ਼ਾਰ ਦੇ ਲਾ,

ਨਹੀਓਂ ਛੁੱਟਦਾ, ਵਕਤ ਜੀਹਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਹੈ ਪੈ ਗਿਆ,

ਬੋਚ ਬੋਚ ਰੱਖ ਆਪਣਾ ਆਪ ਬੱਲੀਏ!


ਮੇਲੇ ਗੇਲੇ ਫਿਰ ਕਦੇ ਅੱਗੇ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਰਹਿਣਗੇ,

ਦਿਲਾਂ ਦੇ ਮੇਲ ਰੱਖ, ਚੇਹਰੇ ਵੀ ਰੂਬਰੂ ਹੋ ਲੈਣਗੇ,

ਸੱਚੇ ਜਿੰਨਾ ਦੇ ਪਿਆਰ, ਓਹ ਵੀ ਇਹ ਹੀ ਕਹਿਣਗੇ,

ਸਾਂਭ ਸਾਂਭ ਰੱਖ ਆਪਣਾ ਆਪ ਬੱਲੀਏ!


ਵਿਹਲਾ ਇਹ ਚਤੁਰਾਈਆਂ ਹੁਸ਼ਿਆਰੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਨਹੀਂ,

ਖ਼ਬਰ ਜਿਹੜੀ ਵੀ ਆਉਂਦੀ ਸੋਲਾਂ ਆਨੇ ਆ ਸਹੀ,

ਫਿਰ ਨਾ ਕਹੀਂ ਕਿਸੇ ਨੇ ਦੱਸਿਆ ਈ ਨਹੀਂ,

ਮੂੰਹ ਸਿਰ ਢੱਕ ਹੱਥ ਬੰਨ ਬੰਨ ਚੱਲੀਏ,

ਬੱਚ ਬੱਚ ਕੇ ਹਰ ਥਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਚੱਲ ਬੱਲੀਏ!

Figure it out, fight it out

 Dedicated to Andy Dufresne of Shawshank Redemption


Their bodies can be caged,

their feet can be chained,

in all possible ways

they can be restrained,

but they don't give up,

they don't cry out.


even when circumstances 

are dead against them,

they are not preturbed,

it cannot scare or faint them,

they know their will be a way

sooner or later they will find out.


they can walk through

the halls of never ending hells,

still to their custodian,

they won't ever ring a bell,

they know it is their fight

and they need to fight it out.


Calm and composed,

when a stranger might 

write them off as a cause lost,

they are right there,

going through the grind,

making every second count,

figuring their way out.


No prison no cage 

can forever hold them,

they are kings of their mind

no fear can ever rob them,

and to themselves

and everybody else

this is all what they always tell,

stay still and stay calm,

figure it out, fight it out.
