Thodee Lali Aur Kari

Branch of Almond Tree in Blossom Red - Vincent Van Gogh

Lali mere lal ki, jit dekhu titt lal.
Lali dekhan main gayi, main bhi ho gayi lal.

*****
Naino ki kari kothari,
putali palang bichhãi;
palako ki chik darike,
piya ko liyã rijhãi.

- Kabir

Kharey panee ko

"Make a Wish" by Neha

Samundar ke kharey panee ko meetha kardey

Ya phir meree aankhon ko pathar kardey

- As remembered

ae khuda ret ke sehra ko samandar kar de
ya chhalakti aankhon ko bhi patthar kar de

tujhko dekha naheen mehsoos kiya hai maine
aa kisi din mere ehsaas ka paikar kar de

aur kuch bhi mujhe darkaar nahin hai lekin
meri chaadar mere pairon ke baraabar kar de

- As sung by Jagjit Singh

Key to urdu words: ret ke sehra = sand castles,paikar = real/concrete ,darkaar = lack, chaadar=sheet of cloth

Pehla Kavi

Viyogi hoga pehla kavi,
Aah se upja hoga gaan,
Nikal kar nayanon se chupchap,
Bahi hogi kavita anjaan.

- Sumitra Nandan Pant

Dono or prem palta hai,
Priye, patang to jalta hi hai
Dipak bhee jalta hai.

 -Maithli Sharan Gupt

Kewal badal nahin aankh ko,
Thodi si dopahar bhi lena
Jeetey jeete marte hain sab,
Tum marte marte jee lena

Jab thakan sindhu ho jai,
Aur chetna lagey doobne
Baith hridaya ke madiralai mein,
Tab -Tab dard sura pi lena.

-RamSanehi Lal Sharma 'Yayawar'

Zindagi

Thandee ratoo ke thandey ehsason kee chup chup raat ke baad,
Subah kee gunguni dhoop, pankhdiyo par giri chamaktee os hai zindagi,
Bikhartey bichadtey rishto kee sameekaran see hai zindagee,
Yoon chamaktey maasom bacchey kee muskan see hai zindagee,
Kuch bhee kahee bhee nahee, phir bhee vasudhaiv kutumbkam hai zindagi.
