Hues I see at start of spring, 
Vibrant fresh blooms much joy bring;
With tints of love comes Holi, 
To smear hues at each other with glee.

In a gloomy rain, on-the-go.

Gaal gulabi raang laal 


 Jo na mila gaal tumhara 
 Rangney ko gullal tho 
 madahosi key gubarey 
 rango ki beyhosi mai ghual 
 kar BHANG ka nasha dey gayi
 aur kha gayi kar key honto ko
 laal, Ladki key 
    Gaal gulabi raang laal 
    Gaal gulabi raang laal 

HAPPY HOLI

How I wish I was there.
On that sacred festival ground.
Laughing beneath the clouds of
Indigo, saffron,white and green.

Holy pilgrims in magestic places.
Often smiles upon their faces.
Long to return to be covered in
Indigo, saffron, white and green.



Inspired by and especially for Manmath Dalei.

Wash all worries in clear water.
  Forget all that teases.
  Leave all loads of life.
  Mix all colors to make one.
  Color even those you don’t know.
  Scream loudly, out of joy.
  Throw color and water.
  Shout, enjoy and play merrily.
  Make a new start,
  After all this is ‘Holi’.
  *Holi  : An Indian festival of colors

Oh Spring,let me play holi
in my daily life with all your glistening.
Time flies,Life dies
But the color of spring is always stunning.

Spring spring put some color in my dreams
by the beauties of your flawless artistry.
Wash the agony towards the unseen green
hidden in my heart and all its mystery.

Wanna fly in your frisky sky
to shuffle my wishes with all new tries.
Give  me a space on your open face
to greet with holi and fly some kites....
