Shivashish Sah Poem
Love of nature for earth shines
during the splendid springtime.
Very rare happiness takes birth.
Like an Indian bride decks earth.
Spring is the love of the nature.
Images of bliss, flowers appear.
In the glittering seasons of rain
vanishes sun burnt earth's pain.
Megh Malhaar(1) the breeze sings
And the nimbus' cloud’s rolling
reminds of performance rhythmic.
Nature produces heavenly music.
Sounds of a lovely rainy shower
remind of the melody of a sitaar(2)
But nature is not just rose petal.
It is also a tempest most terrible.
When the earth shivers in fever
destruction happens everywhere.
Deadlier than oppressor's army
is the onslaught of the tsunami.
Natural forces extremely great
shake courage of men ultimate.
Then, in humility join hands two
and piously pray to parent true.
Then Supreme one, grants mercy
and reestablishes lost harmony.
Without that conscious element
nature is just a force vehement.
That is nature's bliss and beauty.
Without that reigns chaos, only.
1 Megh Malhaar is a symphony in Hindustani Classical Music for the rainy
season.
2 Sitaar is a famous stringed musical instrument of Indian Subcontinent

Shivashish Sah Poem
We fought and killed many;
bombed innocent humanity.
We fought world wars two.
The battlefields are not new.
Tigers kill to satisfy hunger.
Humans have reasons other.
Men have a hunger of lust
to convert other to the dust
and to rule and to dominate;
we can inflict terror ultimate.
Endowed is glory very rare
to the brave, mighty soldier.
But true soldier isn't the one,
who can coldly kill a human.
The true battlefield is within.
There a true warrior can win.
The foes within are mighty:
Mightier than greatest army.
Lust, hatred, jealousy, anger
attack in the great war inner.
As intense as great intensity
of bombardment too mighty
is the terrible attack of lust.
It gives an insatiable thirst.
The heat of a bombardment
in a man's hatred is present.
Enviousness: deadliest foe
hits before one can know.
It is like blitz very sudden
and destroys compassion.
Intense like force of missile
is anger: the foe most vile.
There is only one arm rare
that can save in war inner.
It is that weapon of faith
for God, the soul ultimate.
With that weapon supreme
mankind can battle within
and defeat causes deadly
that leads to war, animosity.
When hatred, lust and envy
are defeated by man, totally
then outer war won't occur
harmony will stay forever.
