GHAR ZAMEEN NARAK BAN GAYI HAI
Unka chehara chaand tha aur aankhen sitare thi
Mera sara zameen phoolon ki swarg ban gayi thi
Jis din se mujhko unse mohabbat ho gayi thi
Meri yeh duniya badi hi khoobsurat ho gayi thi
Unse milne ke baad roz unki pooja karta raha
Meri chahat unki chahat ho yeh dua mangta raha
Pyar mila jeewan safal hua yeh jindgi jannat hua
Unki har ek adaa se mera jeewan safar swarg hua
Bijli giri aur wo chali gayi mera unka saath chhoota
Kewal sunahare yaden rah gayi unka haanth chhoota
Kai dino se unko dekha nahi par koi fark nahi padta hai
Unki har ek jhalak dekhta hoon jab bhi subah hoti hai
Kahta rahta hoon ki chale aawo ek muddat ho gayi hai
Meri yeh duniya badi badsurat aur khamosh ho gayi hai
Unke chaand si tasveer ko apne seene se laga ke rakha hai
Meri sari ghar zameen kaanton jaysi ek narak ban gayi hai
SPECIAL PRESENTATION FOR MY PRETTY LOTUS
It is hard to face the future
When a loved one passes on
It just seems unbearable
To think that they are gone.
And somehow, festivals only serve to magnify that pain
For it should be a special time
But now it is not the same.
Just for a little while my love
We will have to be apart
But always and forever
You shall live in my heart
Grief’s darkest thoughts have faded to a paler shade of grey
Because dear Saroj, I know
We will meet again some day.
Tujh ko phool chadhawoon Ya apne zigar mein basaawoon
Tujhe toh mere liye hi banaya gaya tha tujhe kya kya bataawoon
Teri surat har waqt mere nazar ke saamne rahti hai jaanoon
Apne dil ki is khaash baat ko tujhko kayse samjhawoon.
My Pretty Lotus Resting In Peace
It was only seventy three years ago a pretty princess was born in the Isle of Fiji
She was to become my pretty Lotus and give me all the glory of my life to see
My maiden lived with no other thought than to love and be loved by me
She was born to serve and give her tender loving care to everyone and me
I was a teacher and she was a teacher to blend as one to live in the village of Botini
We loved with a love that was more than love and got married with scrutiny
Our love life was winged to fly the world and enjoy life that was my lotus and me
The reason for all our truth, beauty and goodness in family life was all her tranquillity
When the sun rose, the day went by and the evening came she was always there
To gather the family together and ensure that everything we needed was always there
Our love was much stronger and deeper than the love of all those lovely birds
The angels in heaven above and the lovers on the earth adored us as lovebirds
Our family life went on for ages all smooth and full of ecstasy and glorious time
Strong winds blew, hotter sun came out and it rained and thundered some time
My pretty lotus stood firm and strong for half a century caring for us all
But the cruel storm came out one morning and made my darling fall
Now the day comes and goes but the nights are harder to spend in peace
I no longer long for the moon and the stars because my life is on a short lease
There are dreams that bring my pretty lotus to me to talk and give me some peace
Now I see my darling, my life and my bride travelling to heaven to rest in peace
My life goes on as my beloved had asked me to spend and conduct
My angel is sleeping soundly and I have many duties and tasks to conduct
Let no more storms come and disturb me because I do not want my dreams to end
I do not want to dissever my soul from the soul of my pretty lotus and her end.
