हे मन विहग बस तू उड़ान भर
घोर अंधकार हो
शांत ये बयार हो
तू अकेला राह में
मंजिल की चाह में
धैर्य तू छोड़ना
लक्ष्य से मुह मोड़ ना
मुसीबतें हज़ार हो
बैरी सब संसार हो
बहेलिया हो हर पग पे
कोई न हो तेरा जग में
फिर भी हे मन विहग बस तू उड़ान भर !
बस तू उड़ान भर !
तो क्या हुआ जो पंख तेरे कट गए
मित्र तेरे घट गए
जो घोंसला न रहा तो क्या
हौसला तू छोड़ ना
तिनके अब भी हैं जहान में
बना ले तू नया बसेरा
दूर होगा यह अँधेरा
आएगा फिर नया सवेरा
लगन लगा उड़ान में
हे मन विहग बस तू उड़ान भर !
बस तू उड़ान भर !
अनुकूलता में बढ़ते हैं सब
ऊंचाइयों पे चढ़ते है सब
तू जग की रीत बदल
विपरीतियों में भी बढ़ता चल
सत्य का उठा हथियार
और असत्य का मिटा निशान
भास्कर को लक्ष्य कर
बस तू उड़ान भर
बस तू उड़ान भर |

I don't know why,
But your sound is soothing to ear and refresher to mind,
You know how to sail against the wind
And how to enjoy the wind.
It's a lesson to learn
And wisdom to earn.
Everyday you come to my home
I promise I will come to your dome.
I invite you to be around me
You are so adorable to see.
Each of us want to be like you
No one can, it is well known true.
Your selflessness, is must required to save the world.
What an irony it is
Just have a look
Our selfishness have compelled
Some of you to enter into red Book
You are synonym of freedom.
You have everlasting kingdom
My heart goes in the deep sea of sorrow
I feel very low
When I see your friends in cage
Even in this age.
They scream in the grief
They sing,
people have this strange belief.
While writing about you,
I am out of word
You are my planetmate, bird.
My bird, bird, bird.
A part of life I wanted to relive.
One certain thing in this uncertain life is uncertainty itself.
Today an incident in my neighbour forced me to pen down this.
Why do people behave the way, they do?
Why do they laugh, when someone cry?
Why do they don’t, when they have to try?
Why do they leave, when they have to hold?
Why do they be timid, when they are expected to be bold?
Why do people behave the way, they do?
Why do they tight their lips, when they have to shout?
Why do they search something within, when they have to look out?
Why do they sink, when it is time rise?
Why do they misunderstand, when they have to understand?
Why do they bear, when they it’s time to tear apart?
Why do people behave the way, they do?
Why do they freeze, when it’s time to act?
Why do they ponder so much, when they know its fact?
Why do they behave as blind, when its time to stand as witness?
Why do they prove as curse, when they have option to be bless?
Why do people behave the way, they do?
Note: I know there are various theories and principles to answer these above mentioned questions, the million dollar question is that why these awkward act of people are still happening in this world to make this place horrible when there is a chance to make it Eden.
Give me any five humanitarian reason for drawing lines on the globe. Separating states by borders.
Yes
I needed you
I needed you badly, indeed
That was time,
when I was taking my first step to walk
That was time,
when I was uttering words to talk
That was time,
when I just began to eat by my hand
That was time,
When I just began to have my friend
Thanks to you for all the support you did
That was time
When I needed you indeed.
And now I have realized
Due to all of your kind deed
I am quite grown up indeed
Trust me,
I can handle my stuff
Don’t let your hands
To be my handcuffs
Let my feet find their land
Let me have deep dive into sea
I want to touch the sea floor
Let me have my tour
And I promise I will be always your’s.
Note: There is a thin line of demarcation between hand holding and holding (pulling) hand. And most of the time we (elders) unwillingly cross this demarcation line and we lose our dearest one. They feel so suffocated in our support system that they break this and free themselves to have fresh air and to explore the world. Not of caution is that by allowing them to explore it does not mean that we will not look after, just always be with them only when they need.
