Sunflowers

Besides the lake, beneath the tree
My golden sunflowers smile in glee
Facing the sun, they swing along
Dancing to the beats of my unsung song

A sprinkle of bliss, a packet of glee
I receive my share from beauty of thee
Thousands of you stand in a swarm
Melting my heart with your splendid charm

In moments of grief, I steal a glance
Truly enthralled, I lock you in my trance
And in my heart a pleasure showers
At the sight of these splendid sunflowers

Glory is for thee

Rose you seek...
At the sight of thorn
You seem so meek
You step back
And accept defeat
With a vision of an owl
And rock solid hope
Boost your pace
Glory is for thee
A blooming rose
Is waiting for thee

Tamil Kavidhaigal

Kadarkarayil amarndha unnai kanden
Un viralgalin asaivil….isaiyai kanden
Un punnagayil…. isaiyai kanden
Un swasathil…. isaiyai kanden
Un mounathil…. isaiyai kanden
Nan isai rasiganai irupadhunal alla
Un ovavoru asaivil isai vasipadhal

Kadalin aazhathil sendru muthai eduthen
Aanal un kangalin aazhathay kanda pinbu dhan
Naan aazhathin arthathay arindhu konden

Oru paarvai parthu vitu

Nittham marana bayathil vazhum manidhan
Yudhathal suyndhulla bhoomi

Kangalai moodinen..unnai kanden
Kangalai thirandha udan nee maraindhu vitai
Aayul muyuvadhum thookam samadham enaku

Is that me?

Her reflection she sees
Skin coarse as a rock
Even the mirror can’t conceal
The scars of her life
The bubbly vivacious girl
Suddenly seems so dull
Innocence swapped
With the coat of veracity
A stranger stares
With protruding eyes
Few years she cried
All tears have dried
A mocking song
She hears in despair
A bed of rose couldn’t heal
The pain of thorns
A stranger she sees
And keeps wondering
“Is that me?”

Brochure of my life

In the brochure of my life I see
My sweetened dreams
Set as a crystal
My margarine heart
Melting in compassion
My salty tears
Dissolving in care
My frozen fears
Defrosting with hope

Yet I see
My own mirror
Reflecting a stranger….

Shayaris

Mein kavitha hoon
-------------------

Shabdon mein rang bharti
Dilo mein umag bharti
Kabhi hasathi, to kabhi rulathi
Kabhi batati, to kabhi chupathi
Mein Kavitha hoon...

Shabdo ko dhage me phiroti
Aur chedti hoon main ek saaz
Ban jati hai jo har dil ki dhadkan
Aur har dhadkan ki aawaaz
Haan main kavitha hoon…



phere tune sur,jodi maine taal
kho gayi tujme is tarah, hua bura haal

Teri jhukti nazar ne teer e aashiqui mere dil pe maara
Ab marna to door, na jee sakon dobara

Koshish itni thi ki, tere dil ko jeet, tujse ek phool paon
Ab na mujhe thukrao, mere jhanaze par to ek phool chadao

khayalo me ek kohra sa cha jaata hai
jab dil ke darwaze par woh dastak deta jata hai

Khoya chain aur khoyi nindiya
Jab dekha tera noor aur teri pyaari bindiya

kabhi shaam se bat karti hu kabhi chand ka didar karti hu
Juda hokar bhi tujse har pal ikrar karti hu

chaha tujhe aur badnaam ho gaya
Tune ek jhalak jo dekha mera kaam tamam ho gaya

sagar ki gehrayi mein bhi hum dhoob kar aaye hain
par teri aankhon me jhak kar, hum gehrayi ko samaj paye hai

Kudrat ka karishma, ya koi ajeeb khel hai
Ishq khuda ka tohfa, do haseen dilon ka mel hai

kya batayen humne tere bin kaise kate yeh din aur kaise kati yeh raatein
Har lamhon me hame yaad aaye aap aur aap ki madhoosh batein

zindagi

Sab kuch ek pal begana, ek pal apna lage
zindagi ek pal hakikat, ek pal sapna lage
Haaton ki lakeeron mein apna nishan doondhathi hoon
Hoon zindagi se khafa, maut me wafa dhoondati hoon


Aankhon mein jami aansuon mein nami mehsoos hoti hai
Hoon zindagi se door, zindagi mein kami mehsoos hoti hai
