The Rainbow of Life..
A POEM :
The Rainbow of Life:
I saw-
A rainbow today.
No-
Its not the rainbow in the sky;
That’s just an illusion
It’s the rainbow
That represents
The innumerable colours of life.
Greed, Selfishness
Represents today’s human;
Jealousy seems to be
Each ones policy;
The greed-
For money, Fame, Power
Has blinded the world!
Around which
Their minds seem to whirl.
Love, Beauty, Sacrifice
Where are they
Where are they?
The depth of love
Has hidden in the dark alcove.
Beauty
For today’s man
Lies on the surface
To search the soul
Who has the time or place?
Who believes in sacrificing?
It has been named as dumbness,
Has no worth left;
A feeling which all try to push out of their mind.
The strength which it gives
They’ve forgotten.
No wonder,
There is so much darkness in every soul!
For the light of happiness-
Seems to be present only in pearls.
The red yellow orange
From the rainbow
Have long since turned grey
Burnt to ashes
In the hearth;
Through the greediness and selfishness
Of today’s human.
“Gam Ka Pyala”..The Cup Of Sorrow
***********************************************************************************************************************
SHER (Lines) IN HINDI :
“Gam Ka Pyala” – Cup Of Sorrow
(a few lines for the unlucky in love)
रहे मुस्कान सदा तेरे चहेरे पर (Let a smile be there always on your face)
पिए जा गम का प्याला प्यार की सौगात समझ कर.(As gift of love,continue to drink from the cup of sorrow)
बसा ले अपने प्यार की याद अपने सीने मैं, (Make your heart a home in memory of your love)
दर्दे मुहब्बत का बसेरा बना कर. (As a nest for your love memories)
बहाना ना ये अनमोल अश्क फिर कभी, (But never shed these very precious tears again for any human)
ना दे सकेंगे ये जालिम कभी इनका मोल, (The outer world will never understand the true value of them)
सारा जहांन बेच कर (Even if they try selling the world they will never be able to repay for your precious tears, )
Tears are precious, not worth shedding on any human. Let them overflow only in Joy of the Divine
When in the deepest of meditations you experience the Divine Flow; the overflowing that happens then is worth shedding, as God always holds precious His bhakts love and devotion for Him. He extends His hand and wipes those tears which are shed in His love and Bhakti, giving incredible Joy and Peace. No human and no worldly object is worth those few moments with the Divine!
[I have roughly tried to translate the meaning in English, sadly the translation does not manage to bring out the correct meaning]
Jai Shreeji !!
Divine ShreeNathji
********************************************************************************************************
…. FOR MY DEAREST DIVINE SHREENATHJI
Some words in love for my ShreeNathji – my ShreeRadhaKrishn;
with whose blessings and grace;
in whose Bhao and Mahabhao I have realized my divine nature; my reality
“YOU are the dawn of everyday to me, the Hope that sees me through,
The Light that guides the way for me, the Love that’s always true –
YOU are the Joy that fills the heart in me
The BLISS that completes the dreams in me.
YOU are the reason for my tomorrows
YOU are the reason for today
YOU are the reason for my life’s living
YOU are the reason for my soul’s shinning.
YOUR love, friendship, grace
Has shown a new dimension –
I had never thought
I’d attain such contentment.
I want to be possessed by YOU.
I want to belong to YOU.
In my deepest thoughts
I want to hold on to “YOU”.
In total surrender and Bhakti
I offer my total to “YOU”.
