નીચેથી ઊંચાણ અને ઊંચેથી ઉંડાણ,

દરેક દ્રષ્ટિમાં અંતરના પ્રમાણ જુદા જ હોય છે.

અનેકાંતવાદની દ્રષ્ટિ ને અમૂલ્ય જૈનધર્મ-દાયક

શ્રી મહાવીરના વખાણ જુદા જ હોય છે.

ચૌગતિમાંથી સિધ્ધશિલા સુધી તારનારાં

દર્શન-જ્ઞાન-ચારિત્રના વહાણ જુદા જ હોય છે.

પર્યુષણ મહાપર્વમાં જૈનબંધુઓમાં

દયા અને ક્ષમાના પરિમાણ જુદા જ હોય છે.

ક્ષમાયાચક છું હું નાનો અમથો

ક્ષમાદાન કરનારા આપ જેવા મહાન જુદા જ હોય છે.

!! THE CHOSEN ONE !!

!! The chosen one !!

Destinies keep changing,

and so does my travel.

Excitements and agonies,

at everything I marvel.

Being in my boundaries,

I wanted to experience the world.

I flew against the wind,

and my feathers ruffled.

Failed when I in my experiments,

people called me "duck".

I toiled, pursued and achieved,

and people called it "luck".

Let the world be the way it is,

nothing pulls me apart.

I relish in the sun and shades,

I am a child at heart.

I accepted all the things

that life has given.

For all the joys and sorrows,

I am the chosen one.

|| I WANT TO BE A POET ||

|| I WANT TO BE A POET ||

I want to be a poet,

but I don't know the rhymes.

I thought for lasting hours,

the ink got dried at times.

I went to the jungle,

in hope of finding themes.

But ran back with heart in mouth,

seeing beasts beyond wildest dreams!!

I tried to portray the one,

whom I loved the most.

But only to discover later,

that "Love's Labour Literally Lost"!!

I ventured into dark night,

to ponder the music that seep.

Woke up the next morning,

after slipping into deep sleep.

I have been to the beach,

to get inspired from the ocean.

But tsunamis haunted my mind,

and now I take precaution.

I plagiarized a few odes,

to make way in a contest.

But could escape the poet's rage,

only after a year's protest.

I just now came to know,

this is not a science of rocket.

By the time one reads this,

I would have become a POET!!

|| YET TO BE ACHIEVED ||

|| Yet To Be Achieved ||

Whoever you are,

I always see you in my dreams.

But I can't recognise you,

a sillhoutte figure it seems.

Whenever I see you,

My soul feels sky-like high.

But as I wake up losing you,

it releases a deep sigh.

I wonder whether,

you ever dream about me?

I'm too eager to meet you,

Let any long time it be.

Are you my Love or My LORD,

I am still in confusion.

You sure are my destiny.

Achieving you is a compulsion.

|| TREAT TO THE EYES ||

|| TREAT TO THE EYES ||

When anticipation waits,

but patience denies.

The path that brings you,

fixes my eyes.

Then you appear,

like a golden sunrise.

The whole world seems,

like a treat to the eyes.

The wind sweeps me off,

and the heart feels butterflies.

Listening to your sweet voice,

my soul touches the skies.

I deliver only truth,

and no more lies.

Living in your vicinity,

is a treat to the eyes.

Colour is just a suggestion,

and not an advice.

Red makes you more adorable,

and makes the world mesmerise.

Your style, your smile,

and your enchanting eyes.

The AURA which you radiate,

is a treat to the eyes.

|| BELIEVE ||

|| BELIEVE ||

Take a step ahead to walk,

and believe you are coming to me.

Open your mouth to talk,

and believe you are humming to me.

Breathe in the cool breeze,

and believe I am the air.

Turn your sight somewhere to freeze,

and believe I am there.

Savour all the food you can,

I am each piece of your meal.

Close your eyes and sleep,

I am the beats of heart you feel.

Belief is the thing with you,

I have the strongest will.

You will be mine forever,

and believe it's a done deal.
