काश मिल जाये हमें भी

कोई किसी आईने की तरह

जो हँसे भी साथ साथ

और रोये भी साथ साथ…

☆☆

Wish I could also have

Someone like a mirror

Who could laugh together

And  even  cry together …

☆☆☆☆

उन्हें  ठहरे…

समुंदर  ने  डुबोया

जिन्हें  तूफ़ाँ  का…

अंदाज़ा  बहुत  था…

☆☆

Calm seas…

drowned them only…

Who claimed to have great 

experience of braving the storms

☆☆☆☆

तकलीफ खुद ही

कम हो गई…

जब अपनों से…

उम्मीद कम हो गई..

☆☆

The suffering itself got

conclusively reduced,

When expectations from

the loved ones minimized…

☆☆☆☆

पत्तों सी होती है कई रिश्तों

की उम्र, आज हरे कल सूखे….

क्यों  न  हम जड़ों  से  ही

उम्र भर रिश्ते निभाना सीखें…

☆☆

 Age of many relationships is like

leaves; today green, tomorrow dried… 

Why don’t we learn from roots

To maintain the relationship …

☆ –“Desert Rose”– ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

(Based on My Persian Adventure)

☆

See the rose

blooming in the desert

stands speechless beauty

in the noise of bigot

like the island of hope

in the sea of despair

like the face of crescent

in the desert’s glare

When cloud sees her

with his heart

oh dear his decorum

just falls apart

but what a passing cloud

could possibly do

can’t soak the desert

even if he wishes to

few tears he can shed

words that give the shade

put little pause on her endless search

give touch that touches without touch

खामोशियां बोल देती है

ज़िनकी बातें नहीं होती..

दोस्ती उनकी भी क़ायम है

ज़िनकी मुलाक़ातें नहीं होती…

Silence converses with them 

who don’t talk to each other…

Friendship flourishes of those too,  

Who don’t  even get to meet…

बेदाग़ रख महफूज़ रख

मैली न कर तू ज़िन्दगी…

मिलती नहीं इँसान को…

किरदार की चादर नईं…

Keep it spotless, keep it secure

Your life don’t you ever stain

For man does not receive again

A fresh mask for his character

क्या कहना उनका जो हवाओं में 

सलीक़े से  ख़ुशबू घोल देते हैं 

फ़िज़ाएँ मुश्कबार हो जाती हैं   

फ़क़त जिनके खयाल से…

☆☆

What  to say about her who

infuses aroma in the winds

Whose thought alone turns

Whole environment fragrant

 ☆☆☆☆

बस इतना सा असर होगा

हमारी यादों का

कि कभी कभी तुम बिना

बात मुस्कुराओगे…

☆☆

The only effect of my

Memories will be that

Sometimes without any

Reason you will smile…!

Complain even in anger only

☆ – “Your kind” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

What can I say about your kind?

for you are ‘the kind’

seen you countless times

yet felt you very few times

how blind to the fact I was

a human there was

but when I felt thee

something melted inside me

you are just like me

but softer than me

yet harder than me

what’s more beautiful than thee

foolish me thought

what I should not

right or not

always hurt you a lot

then I found the light

cut the chains of your might

you could believe it or not

but I liked your kind a lot

☆ – “The God Question” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

☆

Have you seen glass pot filled with water

where the fishes are colourful swimmer

 *

for fish is contained inside the pot

how really can he see the pot

all he can feel is that glass wall

holding together this water ball

 *

fish’s job isn’t to define the pot

for it is impossible of the task

fish’s job is to understand the water

pot’s job is only to hold that water

 *

but one day comes,

in a dream one fish awakens

going to the glass wall

all he sees many reflections

 *

revealed other fishes his tale

how the pot removed the veil

fishes bothered more about the pot

have to tread waters they forgot

 *

when they assumed they understood

why can’t we create says their mood

made their own pot inside the water ball

all it takes is just that invisible wall

 *

started living behind those walls

but forgot it should be of a glass

that’s when they became blind

for they were trapped in game of mind

 *

how similar we are to those fishes

existing in the water called ‘universes’

held by that glass pot called ‘God’

think twice when say ‘MY’ God….
