BEFORE YOU SPEAK

think always before you're ready to speak
so that your relationships don't get weak
don't let the temper take over your sense
as its difficult to make up by repentance
the things that’s broken can't be restored
and it has kept getting bitter and soured
the relationship that was sweet and nice
i am now left crying over its sad demise
wish i could get things back at any cost
as i am shattered by whatever i have lost
i hope the things don't get ugly and worse
i am already filled with guilt and remorse
i know i'm at fault but i wasn't deliberate
it was just an evil stroke of luck and fate
and i'll pray that God's help comes along
so that i am able make up for all the wrong
so let us forget this just like a nightmare
for the sake of the good things we did share
and let us now be like we have always been
the best of friends this world has ever seen
the heart is judged by the decision it takes
forgive him who is ashamed of his mistakes
he may also be shocked for what he has done
and must be hoping if that could be undone
i know i have wronged which i also detest
and that its not repeated i will try my best

RAIN RAIN

rain rain please come again
do come and wash the plain

of my body and also my soul
that has gone evil and foul
as i don't need them anymore
so once again make them pure
for i can not bear that strain

of the guilt that i've inside
which i can't forget or hide
i don't want to repeat this
and attain the eternal bliss
without regrets or complain

come and on me do fall over
and i will not run for cover
get me drenched make me wet
so that something i may get
from what i've lost i can gain

let me now find the new way
by throwing my tension away
not taking this life too serious
which is sometimes callous
but i am happy with its pain

Don't Expect or Commit

neither any expectations nor any commitments
as there is no need to hurt anyone's sentiments
its easy to make promises but difficult to keep
as they can break and make you cry and weep
this life of ours is not always the bed of roses
because when man proposes the God disposes
and you can't be dead sure of anything over here
when you least expect hindrances may appear
so just try to accept all the things as they are
as you can't be sure of triumph in love and war
all of a sudden certain circumstances may occur
which could also make your relationships suffer
so what is important is trust and understanding
and in relationships you shouldn't be demanding
there should be a chance to justify and explain
as to how and why one's all efforts went in vain
and what was the situation that made it happen
as one can not be deliberately wrong too often
one should always try to save one's relations
and just don't loose them by thoughtless actions
therefore always try to be calm and complacent
never expect and don't ask for any commitment

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION

sometimes we may agree, sometimes we may not
and at times our ideas may also differ a lot
still both of us may be right in our thought
we may also be at fault as no one's a despot
you must be aware too and not be an oblivion

let it be a discussion and not be an argument
it may get heated up and that may be apparent
you must be ready to listen not being adamant
do not get excited just try to be complacent
as for anything no one is the sole custodian

its good to argue but let's not have a fight
you may be confident, other may also be right
sometimes, its better to be silent and quiet
you may also realize it from your own insight
as there can also be a difference of opinion

SEARCHING SOMEONE

i'm not feeling good and i'm not well
where should i go whom should i tell
and now who will be going to assure me
who will treat me and who will cure me
and also lessen all my pain and sorrow
and convince me of a better tomorrow
with whom i'll be happy and feel fine
looking her at smiles glow and shine
when i will hold her grasping her palm
i will be at peace with eternal calm
who will softly touch me with her hand
making me aware, making me understand
the value of my life and its importance
boosting my faith and self confidence
looking after my jobs and my affairs
making me feel that how much she cares
about my happiness as well as my grief
her presence coming as welcome relief
she'll also be teaching me how to live
making me think and making me believe
that after darkness the light will appear
and i've to be strong without any fear
looking at my life straight in the face
and knowing that she is with me always
all my diseases will vanish and cease
and the value of my life will increase
my luck will come out of rough weather
and finally we will be forever together

ABOUT INDEPENDENCE

an oath, a promise and a vow
towards my nation i will bow
i can even sacrifice my soul
my last destination and goal
live for that part of earth
where i have taken my birth
even die for it if required
which i've loved and admired
it's my country where i live
and with gratitude i receive
the opportunity of being here
a place where happiness appear
often in the form of monsoon
which is a blessing and boon
for the rivers and agriculture
necessary for growth and future
and the jungles and the forest
here the wild life is the best
here all four seasons we see
this is the best place to be
its home to many civilization
and various faith and tradition
its divided into various region
people follow different religion
still we've unity in diversity
and are treated with equality
its my nation huge and vast
which has had a glorious past
but now the same is threatened
and the corruption has burdened
and suppressed the progress
and the development process
with terrorism and communalism
threatening our nationalism
some also causing destruction
by creating barriers and faction
affecting economics and politics
destroying development statistics
now we all have to get aware
our time and energy to spare
and think clearly once again
not to let sacrifices go in vain
of the martyrs who laid lives
so that our country survives
our opinion and voice be raised
our country be blessed and praised
trying to remove all the evil
with strong determination and will
ready for our nation's defense
let's save our country's independence

I DO REGRET

some things which i did, i do regret
but then i was not deliberate, i bet

i did not have any kind of intention
and i'm ready for my deeds redemption
i know i'm answerable to all my action
not always intended often an assumption
for everyone i have an example to set

i can't win always as i can also loose
i accept this truth without any excuse
and my route i have to plan and choose
without delaying in clearing the dues
so as to save my possession and asset

i know my deeds will follow me always
and they will affect my night and days
the false sublimes only the truth stays
and there also goes a proverb that says
what you sow is ultimately what you get

i have to now shape the way i am living
with sincere efforts without deceiving
myself and setting targets for achieving
without having any regrets while leaving
around my ways i've to tighten the net

I MAY OR MAY NOT BE

i may be a reality or i may be a dream
as for me i may be or may not be nayeem

because, i am myself not too confident
to assure any one with any statement
but if you don't agree and are adamant
then you'll have to face my resentment
but then i know that i'm quite off beam
rest i can't tell i may not be nayeem

i'm neither coward nor i am the brave
i am free and i won't ever be the slave
i will live in wilderness inside the cave
and finally find peace buried in grave
may be i'll be a star that will gleam
as for now, i don't know i may be nayeem

i am down to earth, simple and quiet
i am not the one to enter into a fight
but i will strongly defend thats right
on my own i've shaped my day and night
everything i've done under my own steam
again, i may be or may not be nayeem

i can say i am honest and always sincere
i follow my ideals to which i also adhere
i'm quite harmless and trustworthy i swear
these things on your mind will also appear
without any kind of preparation or scheme
as for me i may be or may not be nayeem

OPPORTUNITIES

opportunities! where have you been
i couldn't make out from the scene
of my life, you had silently sneaked
and opened an door that slowly creaked
giving the direction to a ray of hope
along with some new ideas and scope
also rejuvenating my lost courage
and scrapping away the old garbage
of the losses and also of the failures
its come like an antibiotic that cures
the disease of losing caused by a virus
clearing the vision from dirt and fungus
refreshing again determination and will
preparing you for that ultimate kill
by grasping and holding on to the chance
taking it quite steadily in your stance
helping you make the optimum utilization
with honest effort and self realization
moving on to achieve your aim and goal
trying sincerely from the heart and soul
as it's the right opportunity for sure
as you may not get this chance any more

INCESSANT SCRIBBLING

i wasn't ever after the name
as i never required the fame
i'm neither the star nor sun
still i feather my own flame
you may win or you may loose
as it is just about the game
there wasn't any battles but
i still conquered as i came
i was always naturally wild
whom you shouldn't ever tame
i am constant i never change
as i will always be the same
he who showed distrust in me
because his faith was a shame
and if you do not beleive me
then you yourself are to blame

MY CONSCIOUS MIND

on my shoulders carrying the weight of my deeds
through the place covered with grass and weeds
i am walking along slightly bending my eyes low
nurturing within myself the conscience to grow
spreading and covering itself upon my ambition
as i am sometimes afraid of the false perception
distancing self from the good pursuing the evil
helplessly watching my devil overtaking my will
and determination to be sincere, honest and true
which though dear to me are losing their value
i don't know what to do and what efforts to make
i'm too confused and my entire life is at stake
i've taken a path with too many turns and twists
and along the route an unknowing fear persists
as to where this journey will lead to in the end
towards which so much of the time i have spend
i don't know whether to revert back or move ahead
life can end any moment, any moment i can be dead
what all have i earned and what all i have lost here
does it really matter to make that account clear
and when i look back, i think that i have lived good
what i felt is right, with it i have fearlessly stood
and all my thoughts with you i've honestly shared
now come what may in my life i am fully prepared

I CAN'T EXPLAIN

beyond my imaginations, there's something more
which you'll find, if you can open my mind's door

something different and something quite rare
of which till now just no none would be aware
something quite personal which i never share
but then it is real and it is also existing there
i will definately let you know once i am sure

you must have started guessing from your mind
in various directions your thoughts gets inclined
your efforts will go in vain as it is undefined
as it will be really quite difficult for you to find
and you must not have heard or seen it before

its something strange which i can not explain
it is a synchronisation of my heart and brain
and it is like the sun shining in the heavy rain
an experience you'll come across never again
and it is really unique and this i can assure

it keeps me engrossed almost in day and night
sometimes the vision is dark sometimes bright
it can make one lazy else it can also excite
also helps me to take a look at my own insight
its something abstract, kind of eternal and pure

ODE TO MY MOM

she pretends cruel but she is kind
my mom's nature can not be defined

even though she loves me quite a lot
but then she just accepts this not
by her many things i've been taught
and in her a sweet angel i have got
and at her my happiness are inclined

when i can't sleep she sings a song
she always checks me when i'm wrong
with her my good luck comes along
she is the reason that i am strong
and she's always there in my mind

she's my friend philosopher and guide
and according to her i always abide
she made me happy whenever i cried
from her my emotions i cannot hide
i must be good she's there to remind

every mom loves her kids too much
and there is no other relation as such
be you indian, french, spanish or dutch
her hands always gives a divine touch
she overlooks faults, her love is blind

TAKE ME HOME

take me home, i have lost my way
i'm quite tired at the end of day
presently i'm living at the place
where the sun smiles on your face
helping you to wake up and rise
as you get up rubbing your eyes
hearing the sound of flowing stream
into the lake where the water gleam
surrounded by trees big and small
some of which are huge and tall
and i get some eggs from the hens
which i've kept inside the fence
i've cows to give milk and butter
and upon my roof piegons flutter
i got a parrot that talks with me
and also a dog that walks with me
i have a horse to take the ride
with my life i am quite satisfied
there's a cat to catch the mouse
and that's all i've in my house
which is located down the hill
where the wind runs my wind mill
and the solar energy provides heat
and the place's quite tidy and neat
its a place where the time also stop
to watch me plough field for the crop
and i get the honey from the honey bees
you'll feel here the cool gentle breeze
i also have a garden full of flowers
my night isn't dark with moon and stars
about this place, about its worth
well its the best place on earth
it makes me feel like the emperor of Rome
its the place and i call it my home

THE WANDERER

i am the wanderer who's always moving around
with different thoughts in my mind surround

and my steps keep on moving ahead and ahead
in search of water and in the search of bread
besides all this i have some more jobs to do
as i want to know what's real and what's true
looking on where my destination will be found

and as for me i will keep on moving on and on
till only happiness remain and sadness gone
and against my desires i've battles to be won
so that finally my jobs are completed and done
with duty and responsibility i'm strictly bound

i'll keep moving with my travelling making sense
so that i can see vision through darkness dense
struggling and fighting for humanity's defense
ultimately dying peacefully at my life's expense
with eternal joy getting buried in the ground

THE DEVIL IN ME

i make the things even and i make things odd
you may think me human but i think i am GOD

often i'll make things move or make them still
even if i can't give life, i'm sure i can kill
and my fear in your spines will make them chill
i will reign in rivers and rule over the hill

i make the sun sets and also make the sun rise
at my command the rivers overflow and dries
and all my rules and wishes just no one defies
and my supreme authority here nobody denies

my faith and fame have also spread far and wide
according to my ways every one else will abide
i'll glow like the sun and on clouds i'll glide
all my disbelievers will be punished and tried

my idols will be made and placed on the throne
around them religious structures will be grown
and then decorated with gems and precious stone
and tremendous devotions all of them would own

and upon my words, heavens and hell would nod
i'll be the sole truth, niether false nor fraud
my sight's the widest and vision's too broad
and i'm human no more now, i am Almighty GOD

REDEFINING MOMENTS

few instances and moments are important and redifining
the vision and the aim of life they help in assigning

opportunity knocks once and you have to be prepared
always be brave and courageous too and never be scared
to achieve your destination nothing should be spared
he succeeds who has the determination and who has dared
so move forward in right direction with proper aligning

with the color of passion and emotion i am now smeared
all the evils from the mind my conscience has cleared
with truth and piety now my heart and soul is adhered
now i laugh at all those things which i earlier feared
if you are sincere and honest you'll come out shining

never ever lose heart and never give in to the failures
the route to good is difficult and evil ways allures
keep on trying and continuous efforts success assures
and in my way if you are mine then i am always yours
its good relationships i am busy excavating and mining

if you have lost something, something else you'll gain
he is the real brave, who can even smiles in his pain
always feel from your heart, and think from the brain
if you loose, don't loose hope and act with restrain
as i have heard that every cloud has a silver lining

LET ME BE FREE

don't pin down, nail or capture
please save me from the torture
i want to bark, howl and roar
high in the sky i wish to soar
and swim across rivers and sea
and let me run gallop and flee
i don't want to be in cages tied
this my life so let me decide
do not bind me in the chains
as it hurts and it also pains
just let me live on my own
i think and feel, i'm no stone
i want to move without restriction
neither inclination nor addiction
without border and boundaries
through regions and territories
everywhere i want to travel and be
so leave me and let me be free

THE RETURN OF ME

it's my return, quite obvious but unexpected
it can't be checked and can't be detected
it will shock you and take you by surprise
your heart will sink and mind will capsize
its bound to happen and that to quite often
and let you have the taste of hell and heaven
i am the worst at times i am also the best
you will like me a lot but at times detest
i know i will die, i do not care when and how
but i'm glad to know i'm full of life right now
whatever i do, i do it from my soul within
you can accept it or reject it with a grin
bury me, burn me or you can also resurrect me
but its impossible to influence or correct me
i may be an angel, a devil or may be human too
my judgement may be false, but may also be true
i have no regrets, no sorrows nor any grief
few words describle me, my defination is brief
and all that i have written may sound absurd
forget it and move on and that is my last word

BETWEEN THE LINES

between the lines, some here some there
similar suspicion on either sides share

standing in guard, standing in attention
always ready for defence and retention
guns in the hand aiming at one another
treating as an enemy who was once a brother
often there is tension and peace is rare

earlier this was just one united earth
and we used to be same during our birth
now differences has crept and divided us
separate faith and religion has guided us
but He's one and same who answers our prayer

we've gone corrupt, we now rob and bribe
our infamous deeds are easy to describe
now hate and envy in our veins just flow
in our heart jealousy and enmity does grow
we've quite forgotten affection and care

its hypocricy when we talk of non violence
does atomic and nuclear arms makes any sense
its all of us who have contributed to terror
we've to accept this as our collective error
rise against this evil make each one aware

let us now come together for good of our own
and fight against all the evils that's grown
let us be true and sincere without any fear
we can make heaven out of the hell over here
only if we've time to think, act and spare
