LIFE

In childhood, life is
to be enjoyed,
It is to discover
new things,
to invent
new mischiefs,
to make
new friends,
no worries, all cherries
is what the life means!

In teens, life is
something complex,
It is to learn
good habits,
to form
one's personality,
to think
about future,
a rose alongwith the thorns
becomes the symbol of life!

In mid years, life is
something of a responsibility,
It is to look
after your needs,
It is to look
after your family,
It is to put into
action your plans,
some tears and a little smile,
compose the life!

In old age, life is
some retospection,
It is to discover the
essence of life,
to know the
meaning of life,
to understand the
appropriateness of life,
it is the final knowledge
that life is what you make out of it!!

ZINDAGI

Zindagi meri aankhon par patti baandh kar
Mera haath pakad kar
Na jaane kahaan-kahaan le gayee

Girte-padte......jaise-taise chal paaya hoon uske saath
Kahaan-kahaan se guzra,iska kuch hisaab bhi nahin
Na jaane kitni baar thokar khaayee,iska bhi kuch hisaab nahin
Itna zaroor pata hai ki
Jab bhi thokar khaa kar gira hoon
Woh ruki nahin mere liye
Berehami se usi raftaar se mujhe ghaseet-ti le gayee

Aur aaj aise mukaam par laakar khada kar diya hai,
jahaan se manzil ka kuch ataa-pataa bhi nahin
Mere saath dhokha hua hai,
yaa maine khud hi zindagi ko dhokha dene ka mauka diya hai
Iska bhi kuch hisaab hi nahin

Kitni baar us-se sawaal poochhe hain
Berehami se muskura di bas
Jaise uska mujh se koi rishtaa hi nahin

Aaj mere bharose kaa faayada utha kar
mujhe yeh yahaan tak le aayee hai
Par isko pata bhi nahin
Mera jab man bhar jaayega,iska haath chhodh doonga
Mujhe bhi e-zindagi,teri parwaah nahin

AYUSHYA

Ain Tarunyat jeevan majhe santh hote
Warahi padlela shubhr nile asamant hote

Ruksh asha manaat,ekaki pan akanth hote
Pawasachi waat pahat,Jeevanrupi walwant hote

Nakalat shubhr gagan,Jalmeghani datat hote
Kuthuntari mala baghat,gulabpushp hasat hote

Tichya eka hasyane jeevan rutu badalat hota
Tichyasathi jagane ha jeevan arth kalat hota

Tichya sahwasatil pratyek kshan japat hoto
Tenvha maj umagale khare jeevan jagat hoto

Jeevnaatil he kshan kadhich kayam rahat nastaat
Kshan bharachya tya sahwasanantar,tiche hat hatat nastaat

Walwantaatil mrugjalache sunder ase swapn hote
Swapn satya karnyasathi majhe wede yatn hote

Swapnbhangaanantar punha majhe jeevan walwant hote
Ekte panasobat nairashyahi datat hote

Pan ayushyache rahasya konasahi umagat nasate
Kuthun tari mala baghat gulab pushp hasat hote

EK GHAZAL

Kabhi koi kisi ka nahi hota
aakh ka aansu bhi apna nahi hota

duniya se kya hota hai kis ke liye
apna aks bhi apna nahi hota

Doobta hai apni hi gehrai mai
Saagar ka sahil bhi kabhi nahi hota

Mai bahot akela chala hoon
Lekin mera faasla kam nahi hota

Woh de rahe hai bharausa kal ka
dard ki dawa kabhi dard nahi hota

Kaise dost,kaise humdum,pyaare
Maut se milane sath koi nahi hota

Jab hai tujhe khoon ki jarurat aey dost
Mere badan mai tabhi lahu nahi hota

Bahot bayaan karte raho "Aftaab"
Dard badhke kabhi sher nahi hota

Kabhi koi kisi ka nahi hota
aakh ka aansu bhi apna nahi hota

AYUSHYA

Ekda asach vichar karat hoto,
ayuashyachya maza mich hishob mandat hoto

ayushya mhanje ek arsaa hote,
mazya changlya vait kamnche te ek sadhe pratibimb hote

ayushya mhanje ek thode chadhan hote,
thode saral hote, madhech avghad valanahi hote,

ayushya mhanje ek awaz hote
mazya pratyek sada che te ek pratisad hote

sukh ani dukkha, yash ani apyash mala chakvat hote,
pratyek divashi mala naveen kahitari shikvat hote

pratyek kshan kahina kahitari ghevun yet hota,
na magta kahitari devun jat hota

kharach ayushya mhanje apla guru asto
surwat te shevat apla pravas matra kayam suru asto

Meaning:

Once I was thinking myself
I was doing balance sheet of my life

My life was like a mirror
It was just a simple reflection of my good/bad deeds

It was like a small slope
It was abit straight but occasionaly there was a sharp turn

My life was like a sound
It was just an echo of my voice

Joy and sadness, success and unsuccess was deceiving me,
Each day that was teaching me something new

Every monent was coming with something new
without asking for anything, it was giving me something

Really life is our teacher
And its just like a journey from start to end

ZINDAGAANI

Wo banjar si dharti , Wo khwabon ka mela ,
Wo aankhon mein roti , Wo har dil akela,

Wo bartan ka paani , Mohabbat ki raahein ,
Wo garmi ke thhappad , Wo marmari baahe,

Wo maatha paseena , Wo rangeen jawani ,
Wo aankh ke aansu , Wo jhoothi kahani ,

Wo ghar bhar ki chinta , Wo dil ke tarane,
Wo din bhar ki chik chik , Wo sawan ke gaane,

Wo fat’ta bichauna ,Wo reshmi aanchal ,
Wo simat ke sona ,Wo aawara badal ,

Wo maa ki dawai , Wo tarsi nighahe ,
Wo baap ka chashma , Wo dardeeli aahein ,

Wo daftar ka jhanjhat , Wo saajan ki choodi ,
Wo balb ki tim tim , Hai saari zaroori,

Wo tat chatai , Wo makhmal ka sofa ,
Wo kheer mithai , Wo paison ka tohfa ,

Wo ek haquikat , Ye ek kahani ,
Ye hai zindagani , Wo hai zindagani

YE ZINDAGI HAI EK MAAYA

Dost dost ke saath nahi, Baap bete ke saath nahi,
Saath hai to bus apna saaya, yeh zindagi hai ek maaya

Paison ka sab khel hai, par yeh saath bada bemel hai,
Insaaniyat ko hamne thukraya, yeh zindagi hai ek maaya

Yeh Daulat yahin reh jayegi, yeh Duniya yahin reh jayegi,
Tune kya khoya hai aur kya paaya, yeh zindagi hai ek maaya

Science ne bahut chamatkaar kiye, Par Maut ne sab pe waar kiye,
Bekaar ki baaton pe insaan itraaya, yeh zindagi hai ek maaya

Insaan kahan se aata hai, Maut ke baad kahan jaata hai,
Kisi ke samajh mein kuch nahi aaya, yeh zindagi hai ek maaya

Duniya ke is naatak mein, Insaan to bas ek Khilona hai,
Jisne samjha usne dohraaya, Yeh Zindagi hai ek maaya,
Yeh zindagi hai ek Maaya

FROM THE DESK OF EDITOR

It's a great pleasure to send you all the seventh edition of GULDASTA.
That enthusiasm in the start is slowly fading or what,
I dont know,but it should not happen.
I know we all are busy
but our GULDASTA is to give the rain of happiness
to all of us,
so sending a poem is like giving happiness to others.
Hereafter,I will try to send more reminders.
And guess what?Slowly we are moving towards
the 10th edition of GULDASTA.
There are many things we can do,and many things
are there in front of us.Only problem is of time.
We should learn to manage time.
Again I am requesting all of you,
Please send ur feedbacks and poems for the next week's edition.
