B:I have certain thoughts, and i want to share,

    I want to  share ,because I care.

   I wish to enlighten here, one and all,

   These girls are a nuisance, please ! do not get appalled!

G:Excuse me !!!!

God made man and had a thought better,

A draft is made before the final letter,

The specimens called boys are so ready to dare,

They are mere blow ups, this I DECLARE !

B:Oh  my  dear ! look who is speaking!

  You can find these ladies , always busy shopping.

 “OH wow! That dress! O wow that bag!,

 Ooh la la that lipstick ! Oh my !that earring!”

G:And boys  ! Oh my God ! I’m sure you have seen,

To impress the girls, they are always so keen,

They dowse themselves with perfumes and deos

And punk their hair, even if they look cameos!

B: Oh my dear ! Look who is speaking,

They wear stilettos and almost reach the ceiling

That’s another thing, they can’t balance the act

They wobble like ostrich, yes ! That’s a fact !

G:And what about them, these Lilliputian heroes !

In their score card , there are so many zeroes,

to puff up their bodies, they work in a gym

and walk like Mike Tyson, even if they are thin.

B: These girls can reach the moon

These girls can scale  the seas

But they will scream their throat out

If they see a honey bee.

G: They boast and brag and have no brains,

To tolerate their talks, it’s really a pain,

They are obsessed with cars and latest mobikes,

They look like dinosaurs when they make spikes.

B: the whole world knows , who buys most cosmetics, their beauty is just bought, that’s simple statistics,

They fight for their equality but want some seats reserved

The label weaker sex is rightly deserved!

G.:Look who is talking , look who is here

The women rule the world, this I declare!

B: Please solve our tussle, O my judges dear !

Give your fine judgment, for you are so fair !

 

The world of innocence
the world of joy
came and took me with it
before I knew , why?

God must have thought
that I could have some smiles,
while the others fought
I could love a while
.
So he gave me happiness
and so he gave me you
So that I could forget
and love what is true.

A woman’s world

By Sunita Rajiv

Let me live and let me grow,

Give me a chance and I will show,

Whatever is done here by a man,

Is possible for me too! Yes ! I can.

God made man and had a thought better,

A draft is made before the final letter.

Woman was created to bring all the love,

To harmonize and heal, she’s pure as dove.

She binds all together and works for all,

The chores are endless and days are small.

She cooks and feeds and loves and cares,

Caters to all needs, her heart she bares.

Her sons and daughters, she shields with elan

For their bright future, readies her plans.

She toils and tires and still feels content

You can win her with love; with force she won’t bend.

She scales the Himalayas and measures the space,

Bachendris and Kalpanas, keep a quick pace.

With the changing times, she takes new roles

society still sees her as human no more!

The Nirbhayas all die and don’t live long.

Don’t think us to be toys, and listen to this song,

Let us just live and let us just grow,

Give us a chance and we will then show,

Whatever is done here by any man,

We can do it too, YES! we can

We can do it too ! yes , we can!

है लाज़मी क्यों , दर्द हो 

दिल में , तभी कोई लौ जगे ?

है लाज़मी क्यों पीढ़ से 

ही सुर  बजे , सरगम सजे ?

है शर्त क्यों रचना कि ये 

कि जन्म लेगा जीव तब ,

जननी का तन विदीर्ण हो 

और वेदना से तपे वो जब ?

हर सृष्टि को क्यों  चाहिए 

इक गर्भ , दुःख का घट  हो जो ?

हर कविता को क्यों चाहिए 

कवि  हृदय , आहत हो जो ?

सुख में कलम उठती नहीं ,

 दुःख में कलम रुकती नहीं 

है लाज़मी क्यों शब्दों में 

हर टीस  का क्रंदन सजे ?

है लाज़मी क्यों , दर्द हो 

दिल में , तभी कोई लौ जगे ?

है लाज़मी क्यों पीढ़ से 

ही सुर  बजे , सरगम सजे ?

31.5.11

चाहे अफ़सोस करें चाहे उदासी ओढें
सभी लम्हों ने मिल के साज़िश की है
आँखों की गहेराइयो में भी दुःख है कहीं
और इक इंसान ने फिर ख्वाहिश की है ?

यादों का क्या है , आज है कल नहीं,
कोई सूरज है की रोज़ चमकेंगी ?
फिर गिरेगी हालातों की बिजली ,
यादों की क्या बिसात , कितना दम लेंगी ?

धीरे धीरे कहीं कुछ घुलता है क्यों?
ना चाह के भी कोई छलता है क्यों?
कहीं तो होगा मेरे भरोसे का किनार ,
दिल दरिया सा फिर मचलता है क्यों?

THE  REALITY

Today I understand ,

That I am nothing more

 Than just a grain of sand!

The multitude of souls

Those live between two poles

Have just a bubble’s life.

Oh! Why then all this strife?

One wrinkle in His brow

‘It’s amazing to see how all  

Lives are turned into a joke!

And to think every day we invoke.

The Gods to be on our side?

All rituals we perform

All laws we do abide!

His will prevails in the skies

His will prevails in the land!

Today I understand,

That I am nothing more

than just a grain of sand!

--S.R.

THE URGE …..

The craving to live on

Fiercely grips my mind

And I can see my evening

For I can’t feign to be blind!

The world will have to have me

Whether it wills or not

The genes have worked silently

New life they have brought.

Still I want to breathe on

And breathe through words of mine

These words will be my ‘Taj’

They will in new moon shine.

For many have been razed,

And razed to the grains of sand,

for many have been defaced

Defaced by the Time’s cruel hands.

The sand grains slip and fall

And fall with passing speed

Still I will rise above

And live, so pay me heed.

These words shall  lure the lorn

And lorn shall know solitude

My words will brave the Death

With tremendous fortitude.

The singing of the lark

The swaying of the wind

Will carry and embark

My message they will sing.

Some day some soul will sing

And sing a sonorous song

The words will be immortal

The melody will live quite long

That day will I then smile

And smile with a happy heart

My soul will float a mile  

before it’s new life starts.
