Divit

A world anew
A world re-imagined
With Duggu, our Bahubali

Inquisitive eyes
Taking all in
Testing everything
Pushing everything
Soaking the world in

The prettiest smile
Basking on the lucky few
Glittering your way
For the right play
On the right day

The boss mouth
Timed to the minute
If the milk is missing
Too much kissing
If he is not sleeping

All in all,
Part Viking, part Balaji
Listening to Norse ballads
Or to Hanuman Chalisa
The Duggu
The Bahubali
The Divit 
My star son
Whole box of fun

Mej pe baithe

Kuchh kahna hoga unko

kuchh to jarur kahenge

baton ki shikayat mein

kuchh to jarur bahenge



kuchh baat nayi hogi

saugat nayi hogi

kahi kuchh bhulenge

kahin yaad use hogi



bas ye is or se mej ke

mej ke us or ki duri hai

main hun jara sa sehma sa

mahol hai jara sa gehma sa

kuchh ghanto ki puri hai

bas itni si majburi hai

Har kuchh akhiri

Kehne ko kuchh nahi baki
Jhoomte bas tu aur main saki
Akhiri din, akhri pal
Akhri muskan, akhri alwida
Fir milne ki khwahish mein
Fir sang rulne ki khwahish mein
Bas ek jam tera baki
Bas ek jam mera baki

The arm rest fight

You board, you smile 
Namaste she says
Good evening you reply
Walking down the aisle
you find a pretty red coat
the one you know from school 
the one you know worth the fight 
but you surrender 
surrender your seat 
to listen to silence
and to fight for the arm rest
for the rest of the flight 
and some
And then the words are to be written 
Numbers to be tallied 
To be sorted and showed
To another lovely flight
In a crowd and with a red coat

Anjano ki nav

Kabhi Anjano ki sangat mein
Baton ko kuchh taras jate hain
Kuchh hanste, kuchh daudte
sukhe nayan bhi baras jate hain

Rangat mein nayako ke beech
Kuchh baat yun samajh jate hain
Tera kissa, nai ki purani kuchh batein
Kuchh dhage aise ulajh jate hain

Shyamo ke Gano mein, jalte Tarano mein
Yaad behti bato ki, yaad udti hawao ki
Hum yarana ek aur naya
Kuchh aise samajh jate hain
Tujhe Apna samajh jate hain
Khud badal jate hain

Jindagi se

Shuru sawar hai jindagi pe
Kuchh pyar hai jindagi se
Dosto ki sawario mein
Shyamo ki tayaarion mein
Kie karam jindagi ne

Sawaal tayyar hai jindagi pe
Jawab yaar mile jindagi se
Shyam ki tanhayi mein
Raat Ki judaai mein
Die malham jindagi ne
 
Mile fir kabhi hum jindagi se

To another year

A start and an end
The year which was
And the year which will be
Class mates became friends
Friends became something more
Wishes and happiness
Mushed with memories
Happiness of a surprise cake
Happiness to be among all
Happiness to be kicked, wished and hugged
Happiness of the one call
Words are such, as they will be
To be thankful
For a day among you again
Thank you for being there for me
Thank you for making this
I to We

Fir kehne ko ek saal beet aya
Dost bhi bana, jo tha paraya
Bas tum logo ki yaari ne banaya mujhe
Chhod aae beete saal ka saya

Is tohfe ke lie shukria

O Week

Kahu main kuchh na tujhe
ye yara ho nahi sakta
Dikhai rahe jo tune mujhe
Unhe main kho nahi sakta

Din kuchh the Saat 
Ya the ye Saat mahine
Kuchh ki humne baat
Khud ko khoke, fule seene

Shukriya lafz hai chhota
Bas apna samajh rakhiega
Jo kissa hua ho koi khota
khaate humare mafi likhiega
Shukriya is dil se 
Shukriya us dil ke lie

Batana fir mujhe

Kuchh to bata de
Kyun sochi ye kahania
Batane wala jag sara
Sunne wala dil bemania

Kuchh to khushi mein
Kuchh to gam mein
Sach kabhi bol bhi le
Dubi dil mein sachaiyan 
Kabhi to khol bhi le
Kuchh behne de ansu
Duba de cheekho mein kamre
Par aja fir wapas
Kahania na bemania
Bas kar fir baat mujhse jania

A Journey

To the sleeping dragon, 
To a journey of miles and smiles, 
To the steps togather we walked, 
To the life of fleeting moments, 
Fleeting smoldering fire, 
Fleeting memories of today and past, 
I raise my glass to the told and untold. 

Roads in the land of Dragon

Flags remembering the past
Flags praying for the future
Searching eternity
In the lap of the dragon
Winding roads, smiling faces
Wind ruffling through the leaves
And the Sakura greeting as you arrive
Fires to warm up your heart
And to drench your memories
In the glow of bonds forged anew
As we had met before
In the lives till Nirvana 
Love, Bhutan

Bhutan

Kahaniya kuchh likh raha
Padho to karna yaad kahin
Kuchh palo ke manjar dekhe
Kuchh dilo ki kahaniya kai

Anjano ne safar ki shuruat ki
Chale jo raho mein to utre kahin
Teri baat, jo maine thi suni
Yarana pani ka dekha tha wahin

Aaj pe, chhayi kal ki udasiyan
Aaj mein ashk par kahin nahi
Bas tune jo hath badhaya
Jo kaha mujhe apna dost
Gamo se yarana ab aur nahi
Katingche....
