When Blackness Turns Into Light

When blackness turns into light

Society could not deny
what we saw
with our own two eyes.

We saw blackness
turn into light
soulful stars
illuminating
white nights.

Jackie was a pioneer
his love lifted us 
higher and higher
his black voice
shining bright in 
the white night
his acceptance there
was no denying.

James Brown led the way
when there still 
was segregation
blacks and whites
in Baptist churches
but in separate 
congregations

His voice was strong
his blackness shone
his body contorted
in rhythmic gyrations
his voice was heard
when people listened
and saw as useful
this racial integration.

His strength and stamina
on the stage
and his voice made you 
want to get up and dance
those who saw him
knew that maybe 
racial unity had a chance.

Then came Marvin 
yes that  Marvin Gaye
he blazed a new trail
a new way of thinking
never encountered before,
music with a social conscience
that stirred a whole nation
to even question the war.

Then there was Sly and his
band mates the Family Stone
they were unique and special
mixing races together musically
but they were all alone

Then came Stevie
yes he was a wonder
his talent as a musician
there was simply no doubt,
his music resounded 
a message of peace and
harmony was what it
was about.

Then came Michael
and Prince at the 
very same time
two forces of black nature
twisting and turning their
blackness into light.
Music of healing the world
and the crying of doves
transfixed hateful gazes
into havens of love.

And don't forget 
Luther Vandross and
Teddy Pendergrass too, 
their songs of love
helped conceive a 
million children or two.

If you never lived
at a time like I did, 
growing up with 
Soul music's beginnings
it would be like being a 
football player who
never experienced 
winning.

Now they're mostly all gone
but their music still lives on
we were witnesses 
to the legends
in the making. 
Now the message carries on 
hope is never really gone
it's still there 
for the taking.

Kyun kisse koi farak pare

Shayari bunne waali zubaan,
Ab formulas ratte hain.
Kaagazon mein apna dil behlaane waale haath,
Ab projects likhte hain.
Jo dill azzad udd, kitaabe likhte the,
Aaj wahi kitaabon ke bojh tale dabe hain.
Jo aankhein sapne dekhna ko bane the,
Ab raat raat undekhe sapnon ke liye jaagte hain.
Jo pair duniyaa dekhne ko taraste the,
Ab classes se tuitions tak ke chakkar kaantein hain.
Fankaar toh kayi aaye aur chale gaye
Kayi sayariyaan suni unsuni reh gayi
Kayi kahaaniyan kahi unkahi reh gayu
Kayi gaane apni awaaj tak naa dhoond paaye.
Kuch samaajh ke bojh tale dab gaye
Kuch kitaabon ke bojh tale.
Par bhala kyun kisse koi farak pare
Fankaaron ki kadra kyun kare,
Akhir...
"Sharma ji ke bete ko 98% aaye hain"
Bas yuhi sapne dab gaye
Yuhi zindagiyaan katt gayi.
Kayi baatein unkahi reh gayi
Kayi sapne undekhe reh gaye.
Sarkaari naukari ka zamana hain sahab,
Yaha dil ki baatein nahi, dil ka ilaaj hota hain.
Amirron ka zamana hain, meri jaan,
Yaha sapnon ke peeche nahi bhaagte,
sapne khareede jaate hain.
Bhalaa kyun kisse koi farak pare
Fankaaron ki kadra kyun kare

Gham-e-Ishq Mein Haara Hua Panchhi

Gham-e-Ishq Mein Haara Hua Panchhi  
Main apnon ka maara hua panchhi  
Raahay manzil ka pata aik shikari se pooch ke  
Main aik naye pinjray mein phansaya hua panchhi  

Meri hurmat ka imtihan hai, aur daanay hain kam  
Main maalik ka sataya hua panchhi  
Chaar din ki hai zindagi, teen guzar gaye pinjray mein  
Main apni taqdeer ka rulaya hua panchhi  

Chehchahane se main thaka nahi, lekin chup hoon  
Zang alood salakhon mein chhupaya hua panchhi  
Dhoop aur barish mein dekh leta hoon aksar  
Main neend se bedaar karaya hua panchhi  

Lagta hai umr poori ho gayi shayad  
Main pinjray se bahar uraya hua panchhi  
Thandi hawa aur burhapa mera  
Main aik shaakh pe baitha murjhaya hua panchhi  

Toofaan hai zyada, na ghar hai koi  
Main doosray panchhiyon ka khaya hua panchhi  
Ye bijli ki taar hai, oonchi mehfooz bhi  
Main har maut mara maraya hua panchhi

Mad Eyes: the Measure of a Pretty Woman Part 1

Mad eyes, 
Green with envy, 
Blue with lust, 
They watch as she moves across. 

Mad eyes,
Green with envy,
Blue with lust.
She sits and gently crosses her legs.

Mad eyes,
Green with envy,
Blue with lust,
A man sings a song of melancholy.

Mad eyes,
Green with envy,
Blue with lust,
Another hums to a tune from Marvin Gaye.

Mad eyes, 
Green with envy
Blue with lust,
A man whistles, an applause.

Mad eyes 
Green with envy 
Blue with lust,
None stands to converse.

Mad eyes 
Green with envy,
Blue with lust,
She still sits alone, waiting.

Mad eyes 
Green with envy 
Blue with lust,
Time passes, they still stare.

Mad eyes 
Green with envy 
Blue with lust,
She walks on out, alone again. 

Mad eyes,
Green with envy,
Blue with lust,
They think, should have and could have.

Focused Lines

Well today I find myself stretching again

Passed tests trials and wicked heart men

Playing games on courts

Who me no door

Shuts close with no reason

Freedom comes in season

Time gains its now

Hope despair somehow

Catches up with lost time

Almost lost the mind

Sandy winds in eyes

Differently to cry

Tears of joy to die

Old life renewed

All the reason to choose

Team won without rules

This dude thought slick was slick memo

Producer with no demo

Riding tires without a limo

Stage with out bingo

Won with out a song

Hidden revealed who won

Sitting in the audience tables have crumbs

Snatcher and catchers 

ballplayers flipped done

First place without a stump

Hills with no humps

Helicopters blades with days

News casters who lie trilogy

Rain passed storms windy chilly

Seasons have reasons

Maps have overlaps

But people insecure run miles with no crap

Tell tales and stories with lies

Promises made with goodbyes

Pimping Easy prostitute pushed down made to cry

Die deaths streets with beats

Undercover paid service with creeps

Heep down with locks too

Blurred Lines tell lies too

Who wrote Gaye lines paid lines have paid too

Kachi Umer

kachi umer mein jajbaat the 
kachi umer mein umeed 
kachi umer mein khaab the 
kachi umer mein dil khush rehta tha 
kachi umer mein chehra hasta 
kachi umer mein dunian khoobsurat thi 
kachi umer mein josh 
kachi umer mein zindagi zindagi lagti thi 
kachi umer mein rishte khoobsurat 
kachi umer mein sari dunia apni lgti thi 
kachi umer mein rossein the
 kachi umer pe pyar 
kachi umer mein ishq ho gyea 
kachi umer mein ishq ki pyas thi 
kachi umer mein ishq mein har sans thi 
kachi umer mein chaand chaand ni mehboob ka chehra tha 
kachi umer mein sapno jaisi dunia thi bekhabar haqikat se pare..  .dunian dari se na kabi dare....
kachi umer mein dost dosty ka ehsas dete the 
jaise hi umer dalne lgi jajbaat kya hai har dhadkan samjhne lgi 
jaise hi umer pakne lgi har sans main ni aaugi kehne lgi 
jaise hi umer sal gujar gai harpal har ehsas zindagi haar gai 
jaise hi din raat chhut te gaye har jajbaat dhere dhere tut te gaye 
jaise hi raatein kat ti gai.....har pyar ki ghadi nafrat mein batt ti gai...
jaise log naye milte gaye har rishte alvidah kehte gaye.
jaise hi ishq mein padte gaye..dard se gujarte gaye 
jaise hi ishq mein gujarte gaye.ankh se aashoon behte gaye 
jaise hi pyar ke chehre dikhte gaye ishq ke jajbaat sare mit  te gaye 
jaise hi hum badte gaye waise khudki awaj sun na chhodte gaye 
jaise hi dard badte gaye hum dunian se alag hote gaye 
khudko bhoolte gaye jajbaat mitate gaye 
jhutha mutha hsate gaye 
khali khali ho gai zindagi eskadar din raat gujarte gaye 
dard se badta gyea sine mein dil 
dardse badti gai jine mein tadap 
kash abh sochte hai hum ishq na kerte 
hum mohabbat na kerte 
na tutte itna na ehsas chut te itna 
kash jee sakte auroo ki tarah 
kash jee sakte dil se 
har ehsas se 
har jajbaat se 
har khaab se 
har umeed se 
har arjoo se 
har khushi se

1970

There ain’t no two ways about it man, 
it just has to be because of you.

Before you came along we could do, 
about anything we wanted to.

Man, life was great, life was great, before, 
you came along and ruined it all.

There’s Haight-Ashbury’s summer of love, 
Newport, Altamont, and Monterey.

And then we hit the road to Woodstock, 
and let me tell you man, that was great.

We had free love, drugs, and miniskirts,
we were sure having ourselves a ball.

The Beatles really started smoking, 
after Bob Dylan showed them the way.

Next came The Stones, The Doors, and Simon, 
with Joplin, Hendrix, and Marvin Gaye.

All of the men burned up their draft cards,
and all the women took off their bra.

There were sit-ins and all-night love fests, 
Feminine Mystique, I Have a Dream.

The Hippies knew the right way to live, 
there was no end to the fun it seemed.

Black, white, red, brown, pink, purple, or green,
were brothers and sisters one and all.

We had sex, drugs, and hard Rock-n-Roll,
and wore some wildflowers in our hair.

Even left our tracks upon the moon,
man, we could do anything we dared.

Man, life was great, life was great, before, 
you came along and ruined it all.

Things might still be a little fuzzy
But that’s how it happened as I recall.

Here Is Happiness For Me

With her pet toy in hand and playing,
In mother’s lap, a strange smile lurking,
To her lullaby whilst listening, 
Eyes on Ma, at last succumbs to sleep,
Here’s happiness for me sound asleep.

Their heavy school bags left way aside,
Uniforms too thrown on whatso side,
Back from bunking class, leave un-applied,
Bare bodied when children dance in rain,
Here’s happiness for me sans restrain.

Dreams and young desires dancing in mind,
Two teenagers in tender love blind,
At the appointed place do when find
And haply together smile their smiles,
Here’s happiness to me that beguiles.  

Dawns a day, and Ma wakes up early,
Finds the house bare and rather lonely,
And lo, the door-bell rings suddenly,
Her daughter and kids hug her in glee,
Here is crest of happiness to me. 

One eve, the sun prepares when to pack,
I see grandpa— nigh bent at the back,
Nostalgic, playing old songs from rack
When breaks into dance that transcends age, 
That’s happiness to me freed from cage.

Based on a Gujarati poem by Shyamal Munshi, titled: 
mane to sukh eman dekhaya, transliteration as follows:

ek ramakdun lai mana-gamatun,
mana khole hasatun ramatun,
mithan halardan sambhaltun,
mani same jotun balak unghi jaye,
mane to sukh eman dekhaye.   

bhar bharelan daftar khakhi,
ek divas khunaman nakhi,
ninshal man pan chutti rakhi,
bhai-bandho sau thai ughada bhar varshaman nhaye,
mane to sukh eman dekhaye.   

ichao laine ubheli,
ek chokari preme gheli,
nishchit sthane pahonchi vaheli,
premi ne jotan ni sathe acherun malakaye,
mane to sukh eman dekhaye.  

ek divas ma vaheli jage,
ghar khali-kham sunun lage,
ghar no bel achanak vage,
‘ne bachhane lai dikari malava avi jaye,
mane to sukh eman dekhaye.   

chho kede thi hoy valela,
ek sanj ni dubati vela,
dada sahu mitroni bhela,
juni filmo yad kari ne junan gito gaye,
mane to sukh eman dekhaye.
