Miles Apart…

Empty spaces

Low lit rooms

Bed sheets crumbled

Distances between us

Lying apartSleepless nights

Dreamless visions

Everything was a mess

Life was upside down

Didn’t know what to do..

In those dark times, there shone a light

And so came you

You came and so does my life

Or that I thought so

I was happy and perceived you were too

But times took turns and so did you

You had your own perfect reasons..

I had all the faulty objections

The waves of time

Threw us apart

We lived together forever

But we were miles apart

But we were miles apart.....

Today’s the `Festival of Lights’ all over

A joyful day for minds and hearts and souls,

And people throng the Temples to offer,

Prayers, resolving to take better roles.

And most of them are richly clad and clean,

And eat such dainty foods and sweets with mirth;

Whilst noisy crackers burst,

their lights are seen,

It seems to be a happy day on Earth!

But are there not hearts woe-filled, very sad?

Denied of laughter, smiles for days;

Today’s the triumph of Good over bad;

But what about the wastage in much ways?

True joy is when you see someone else smile!

True charity gives joy in Heav’nly style.

Tu Jagmagaaye Teraa Deep Jagamagaaye

Tu jagmagaaye teraa deep jagamagaaye

Saare jahaan ki khushiya tere bhee ghar ko aaye

Ganga aur Yamuna sa nirmal ho tera man

Ambar our dhara sa swachh ho tera tan

Is nagar me teri jyoti chamchamaaaye

Tu jagmagaaye teraa deep jagamagaaye

Achchhe karmo se jag me naam hogaa tera

Teri aahat se buraiya lengi nahi basera

Tere marane ke baad bhee log tera naam gaaye

Tu jagmagaaye teraa deep jagamagaaye

Mit jaaye andhera jo teri dagar me aaye

Aaye kabhi na gam jo deti chintaaye

Naam amar ho tera ek taaraa timtimaaye

Tu jagmagaaye teraa deep jagamagaaye

Door karna chhuachoot mandir masjid ka jhagara

Koi mare na bhookha koi rahe na kangala

Aane waalaa kal tera naam gungunaaye

Tu jagmagaaye teraa deep jagamagaaye..
