Babbling Words Of Young Children

People may say,
'the music rendered by flute and lute
are so sweet'

Alas! They have not listened
the babbling words of their young children!

Children are enchanting and lively
for one's happy family!

Cage Parrot

Parrot in the cage -
kept aside in the platform,
fortune teller by the side -
laments, 'O' God,
the peanuts exhausted,
the owner is disgusted,
my working hour is not yet over'
Yours lovingly,
CAGE PARROT.

Happy Family Life

When a man showers love and affection
- FONDNESS - to his wife;

And shares food with needy and relatives
- VIRTUE -

Fondness results in quality
- CHARACTER -

Virtue yields the
- FRUIT- to a Happy family life.

O' All Happened In My Dream

My hands embraced you,
My eyes searched for you,
My lips kissed you;

I am startled and awake,
O' All happened in my dream;

When can I have them real,
I love you so much dear,
I like to marry and live with you!

Afraid not to God

Longing for 'what not' he got,
Not recognising what he gets,
People's mentality!

Afraid not to God,
But beware of politicians,
More of a criminal mind!

Flowers in the garden
kiss each other often,
Gentle breeze!

I am delighted with a soft kiss

Unexpected showers of rain
while it is very hot in the plain,
It turned the ground cool and green,
I am happy!

I am delighted with a soft kiss
by my love, My Dear Miss
while I was feeling lonely
Now I am so happy! !

In Search Of Peace Of Mind

If you are in search of peace of mind,
Don't search it anywhere in the land;

If you decide your path and duties
your future and routine activities,
Peace will come and kneel on your feet
paving red carpet on your path.

Person who is not educated and illiterate

If any person, who is not educated and illiterate,
likes to speak in a gathering of learned audience,

it is similar to a woman, who has no breasts,
desirous of having a sexual life and family.

Waiting for the call!

We are born,
We live to eat,
We eat to live,
We eat to survive,
We sleep, we wake up;
Who are we?

This is world,
This is worldly life,
What is remaining,
What else can be done,
Nothing but to die,
Waiting for the call!

History will speak of you for ever

Dear brethren,

Don't feel for the physical disability,
Have courage in your mentality,

Think high and work hard,
Efforts will provide you a fruitful hand

to improve your life in the future
History will speak of you forever!
