Some Values of Life

I have a handful of sand
This is because of my motherland

I have met a an old sagel
When it was my child age

He told me some needs of life
The life is of sorrow and knife

Teachers are most important
They doesn’t work for us on rent

Family is also important for you but
Donot forget your friends too

Don’t forget your mother land
And don’t forget to help others with your peaceful hands

He said live life happy as you can
As the chain of your life can break any time and any day

Does He Love Me Too.?

He looks best 
When he dresses black
The feeling is best
When he sits to my back
We talk from morning to noon
But I still can’t say does he love me too?

We walk together
As we go to the class
I know we are distinct
In this crowdie mass
He cares for me
And that is what I know 
But I still can’t say 
Does he love me too?

I expect him now
To give me a sign
So that I can sought it out
And make my life

But before that happens
I just wanna figure out
And I know I can do it soon
(To find) does he love me too?

Happy Birthday Mom!

With the little words
You taught us to speak
 the encouragement you gave
When every time we went weak…

The times you scolded us
The times you prepared the delicious food
Though you starved many times 
You never had a selfish mood…

With every night when we laid on bed
The hands would caress our head
The love, the beauty, the rhymes, the logon
I bet, can never be forgotten…

With beautiful memories you have taught us to keep
You knitted wonderful dreams when we were asleep,
Your talents, courage, love, care and sacrifice
Are matchless, and you are so satisfied…

Sometimes when we look up the mirror 
We try to find some resemblance 
To have a tad of your unmatched beauty
For you would never make us feel guilty

The times we speak in millions of crowd
In some way, we represent your vision
And if people praise us, mom,
It’s all your season…

You had us believing 
For you are the support we have
You showed us the world; you showed us the life,
You showed us the bottom and you showed us the height

Though we do a million things 
We won’t be able to repay the pains
today is your special day, and we give you warm wishes
for you gave us shed even in the rains !!!!!!!!!

Stop Terorrism, Forget Racism

Something inside
Would be making you feel
About the lesions you want to hide
 But those wounds would never heel

You would want to run
Even in the sweltering sun
To seek for some peace
But you won’t get a lease

You would break yourself down
No matter how much you frown
You would have to face this
You would feel like a drowning fish

You would run to kill all those
Who have turned cactus from rose
Who have carried those guns and arms…
Who have created all these harms…

You would run to take the vengeance
Because you are feeling the innocent’s absence
Who have been ruthlessly killed
And whose spaces can never be replenished

You would run to save the other millions
For if you fail, you would never exonerate yourself
You would offer your life out for them
And that’s how is your inner self

You would run to try
You would run to stop them
You would run to not let the tears dry
You would run for the blood,
You would run to stop the bloody flood.
You would run for you nation
Without having any ration

And that’s how you can stop
The evil deed of terrorism
It’s only when you will run
Without any Racism !

Never Knew I Was Your Princess

Never knew I was a princess...
Never knew you wanted to kiss me in the rain!!!!!!!
Never knew you had such feelings.......
Never knew like me, u too went insane
 
I thought u just loved me.......
And thought love for you didn’t mean the same as I thought
But I was wrong and u proved me that...
U are my perfect PRINCE as I have always thought of........

Yes maybe it was the only reason.....
Why I had chosen you.....
Yes I think u were really rite
That nobody would rite a song for me like you........
 
Never thought I was your princess
Never knew you wanted to kiss me in the rain
Never knew you had the same feelings...
Never knew like me u too went insane
 
Always dreamt to walk along the blue waters....
Always dreamt to be with you.....
Always wanted to hold your hand.
No matter what shatters......

We were never like all those lovers...
But I wished if we cud be.....
But now I don’t wish that anymore.
Coz now I know what u feel actually.....
 
I never I was your princess
Never knew you wanted to kiss me in the rain.......
Never knew you had the same feelings........\
Like me you too went insane!!!!!!!!

Where Are You?

Where are you
Please take me back
I don’t want to go
Wherever they are taking me

They want me to believe
That you will never come
Tell me how I can do this
Tell me should I agree to it???

They are pulling me apart
Told me to lose my faith in you
I don’t want to go with them
I want to hold your hand and be with you…

Where are you
Please take me back
I don’t want to go
Wherever they are taking me

Whenever I close my eyes
I see your face
Whenever I dream at night
I feel myself in your arms

Tell me why I have to do this
Tell me why I have to believe them
Why can’t I be with you?
Why can’t everything be same?

Where are you
Please take me home
I don’t want to go 
Wherever they are taking me

Hold my hands
Take me in your arms
Kiss me and make me feel better
Please save me from these harms

I don’t know
Is this the last time I am laughing
Coz they are taking me away
Without you I am really dying…

Coz I don’t know where you are
Will you take ever me home?
As I don’t want to go
I don’t know wherever they are taking me !

Happy Would Be the Day

Happy would be the day
When each person will be literate
Developed will be the nation
For improvement, why should we wait?

Happy would be the day 
When women will actually have equal rights
Healthy would be each family
If today we cure the women’s plight

Happy would be the day
When no one will run after money
Love will be the only essence
Everyday would be pleasant and sunny

Happy would the day
If every child learns his duty
To exterminate corruption
When a leader would grow against brutality

Happy would be the day
If every poor will be employed
There would exist no poverty
If the officials do not act blind.

Happy would be the day
If everyman leaves fraudulence
Right will be the way
To give a chance to every scientist’s inquisitiveness 

Happy would be the day
When people will not fight for religion
Time will change, so will people, I believe
So there will be no evil in name of region

Happy would be the day
If the nation is forever united
No one will able to disintegrate us
Problems like Terrorism would never crush us.

Happy would be the day
When the nation will be a noble ground
A land of commoners and also of Richies
Who would respect every creation of motherland…

Happy would be the day 
If everyone realizes the importance of time
Importance of words and dreams will also not be spared
And for the growth of nation every atom would be cared

Happy would be the day
When I will see my generation awake
Content would be my mind forever
If everybody will live for their own sake!

Daddy I Have Still Not Grown Up !

Today I turned up the door
On your face
I could see the fear
Coz I was heading in the race
And now I am realizing                                                           
That I did something
Which I never did before
 Now I don’t talk to you
Don’t share with you
Don’t play with you
And now I just say you one thing
“Oh daddy your little girl has grown up”

Now when you catch my hand
While crossing the crowded road
I just say to you
“Oh daddy I can do it all alone”

And now I came to know
How you would be feeling
I am…
Off course you are not chilling
But what I want you to know is that
Your little girl has grown up

But still when I sit under the moon
I just want your company
The times when we talked
You teach me a lot more than I can think
And all I could say is

I am still your little girl
Who is beyond this materialistic world,
And daddy I really want you to hold my hand
While crossing the crowded road
Coz daddy I haven’t still grown up……………..

Is There Something More !

I have been walking
Walking all alone 
When you came into my life
 Captivated and brought in it a new song

You became my friend
And people thought we are something more
You knew my every trend
And my heart could never ignore

Every day was made special
Every word was heard like never before
Every moment with you became exceptional
And now I think is there something more?

I started thinking about you
Wondered if you thought the same
I started dreaming about you
My every breath said your name

Whenever you passed me by
I felt like never before
And I just kept thinking 
Is there something more?

You made me feel different
You made me feel like a star
Our friendship had no bent
And people wanted to know what we really are.

Every time I saw you
I wished if I could hold your hand
But then I could not dare enough
And acted as if I just wanted to be a friend

My happiness depended on you
My sadness with you was always shared
My words meant a lot for you
I never had a friend who so much cared.

I don’t know what you feel about me
You feel the same or not
All I know is that I like you
And I can’t give it a second thought

I kept on counting
The actions I had never counted for
And waited for you to tell me someday
“Yes, there is really something more….”

Friendship Or Gem?

Some call them stars
Several call them life
But for me they are the one
Who teach us to face lives strives

They be with you 
Even when you do not call for them
They are always ready to hold your hand
They are not like the names written on sand

They exonerate you even when you should not be
They show you the things, which you can never see
They tell you how you always got to be
And when you are in sun, they act like a tree	

They understand your every problem
They understand your everyway
They encourage you at every point of your life
Anything erroneous they never let you say

This is how they actually are
They may be close or may be far
They keep you harmless, they let you shine
And this is how TRUE FRIENDS become your life!!!!
