Journey...

I came thus far not because someone told me to,
This was my choice, my decision for once being true

My days of lying and fooling myself had to get over,
I got some pedals and a saddle, this was my time to get sober

My learning have always been sluggish and and kind of slow
But I have arrived and reached, when time has called upon me to show

For me this journey has just started to unfold,
There is no stopping back, nothing that can hold

I will spread these wings and goto places untouched,
Explore, seek and discover the joy within, which is ready to be unearthed

This is the day I promise myself, that I am never going to be unhappy again,
But be that bundle of sunshine and rainbows, which no walls and darkness can contain...

ज्वलन

तप से डरे है क्यों राही,

इस नदिया है तूफ़ान माही|
जो तू चला त्यागने अपनी भ्रान्ति,
ये पथ नहीं आसान रे पंथी|
जूझ आज अपनी उलझनों से,
कल के ख़यालों पे क्यों सोये रे|
इन घनघोर अंधेरी रातों में, तू जला के अपने पराक्रम की ज्वाला,
ज्ञान, विवेक और पुरुषार्थ से आज फिरसे कर दे तू एक नवीन उजाला।
जले हुए को क्या डराएगी ये आग की लपटें,
जी लिया बस बहुत यूँ डरते डरते।
झोंक देना इस जीवन को तुम तप, अग्नि, ज्वाला, अनल में,
यूँ हो कि या तो बस राख रह जाये, या तो कुंदन कमल से।
