Peace and serenity
Soul is birthplace of peace
Solely, keeps mind and
physic in peace
Live with peace!
be warring with sins
what hurts us,
hurts others
A word - Kind
Can even open
A gate made of iron
One cannot ascend ladder
by pushing others down
no weapon’s powerful
than grace & mercy
one hand washes other - the
twins wash face together
The dead are opening
The eyes of the living
Anger has no eyes
when anger couples
with revenge
Cruelty is born
For a mind peaceful
Everything’ delightful
Farmers require peace,
peace produces wealth
A lean peace’ - superior
than a fat case
If in reasonable side
make peace
If it’s worse
Let’s go to courts
Verdict be given - After
testifying two sides - And
not one side-
meant listening to only one side
sports and travelling,
spurs understanding
Human beings
Peacemakers were
Never overthrown
Freedom’ priceless
worth buying for a price
one who conquers soul - is
one bravest warrior of all
“we’re a human family,”
Long live peace
Long live serenity

An Upland Muse
On gravel roads
Travels far yonder
The distant future
Uphill climb
Tall, Tropical,
Trees reach high
Sky above
Over rocks, shimmer
Pebbled paths
Thick jungle spreads
Chirp of Birds hear
Silence when ....?
In the shrubbs
Noise of waters flow
Filtering light cascade
Crunch of twigs
Thoughtful minds
Landscape spreads
Brings at last
The peak prized
Above Upland hill

Wedding prayer
May the blessings which flow in all weddings
be gathered, God, together in our wedding!
The blessings of the Night of Power,
the month of fasting
the festival to break the fast
the blessings of the meeting of Adam and Eve
the blessings of the meeting of Joseph and Jacob
the blessings of gazing on the paradise of all abodes
and yet another blessing which cannot be put in words:
the fruitful scattering of joy
of the children of the Shayak
and our eldest!
In companionship and happiness
may you be like milk and honey
in union and fidelity,
just like sugar and halva.
May the blessings of those who toast
and the one who pours the wine
anoint the ones who said Amen and
the one who said the prayer.
- Rumi
For centuries
I have been gazing into the cosmos and its vastness
At all its wonder, all its wonder
The stars whose rays, like messengers
Have been travelling for millions of years
Eager to reach the earth
Someday, they will surely light up my eyes
Someday, I will be able to grasp the hem of that light
And clutching it, go look into that space Javed Akhtar
Girl that eats shoes
There once was a girl on the news
They say she liked to eat shoes
Keep on your feet
When it’s time to eat
Or you may be the next victim to lose

What a beautiful sensation !
To love or to be loved
From the very day we see the world
Till we breathe our last breath
We yearn for it anxiously, earnestly.
We argue, wrangle, write and fight
Sacrifice even our most precious things
We shout, cry, moan and groan
And sometimes go to the extremes
Of dying and killing
To grab, grasp, own or protect
Love !
But love is such a beautiful thing
That cherishes and survives
Only on true understanding, caring sharing and giving
Without expecting anything in return.
When you have faith, kindness, forgiveness and empathy
Love always flourishes tenderly, softly
Dwelling in your heart
For ever and ever.
No force is powerful enough
To eliminate or uproot that divine love
