My Friend


'You my friend, my lifelong friend
You care for me, you pray for me.
As mountain blocks the stormy wind,
Shields me from the waves of life...

You my friend, a blessing from heaven
An oasis in the sandy desert
A lighting candle in the darkness of night
You my friend, my lifelong friend.

You make me smile, you make me cry
At times you get angry, scold me for my mistakes
I shed down as a dry flower,
Till you come back and pour me life.

Shines at the grass tip, our friendship
As a dew drop in the day break
Spreads the fragrance of purity and divinity
Let mid day never come upon!

You my friend, my foul weather friend
You my twin soul, my lifelong friend
May the ebbs of life take us away
Lives our friendship across the time.'

The Beggar



The Sun descends below the far horizon,
To draw shadow of despair over the world.
Like frigid clutches of mortality,
The chillness of evening flows around.
Wanders for shelter from the frosty night,
The poor old chap with his days alms!
Shivering in the icy wind, his face red and green;
Heart burning with pain, sorrow and hatred
He looks against the boreal forest
Yearning for a bonfire, shudder under rags
Showering curse on fate and self
Out at the prolonged night he stares,
His gaze fixed somewhere but nowhere
Does it ends with dawn or ends with end? !

Up In Life

One-two-three, I climbed up the tree
Four-five-six, I slipped down once.
Chil-chil-chil, the squirrel cried
Tuk-tuk-tuk, the woodpecker laughed
Ha-ha-ha, I too laughed-
And climbed again, up and up.
