Raat ke andhere mein, Saagar ke us paar, Ek vishaal kaay vriksha par, Khole mann ke dvaar, Aakaash mein chandrma kaa, Chakor kare intezaar. “Ab aayaa wah ab aayaa,” Bole mann baar-baar, “Swaami ab darshan do”, Aise kare vichaar, Hriday mein uske umadh raha, Besabri kaa paaraavaar, Usne jabse jheli hai, Prem baan ki maar, Bach naa saki is-se, Hui vah bhi shikaar. Din mein na usko chain, “Anokha hua uska vyavhaar”, Kahein uski sakhiyan, “Jabse lagaa prem jwaar.” Antatah, jab chandrma aayaa, Sapney lage hue saakaar, Kathinaai se prastut kar paayi, Apne hriday ke bhaav vichaar. “Kshamaa karna Chakor,” Nikalaa much se, Chandra ke pehli baar, “ Main sthir ho sakta nahin, Mera jeevan hai niraakaar, Aisaa hai jabse , Maine khaayi Prithvi se haar, Padti hai lagaani uski parikrama, Jabki tha Surya se pyaar. Dikhaanaa padtaa hai much Prithvi ko, Chaar maah mein chaar baar, Asthir hoon, toh hai mera, Na koi saathi, na yaar, Tum bhi mujhse preeti chodo, Anya ar vyakta karo hriday aagaar. Saamaanya jeevan phir se jiyo, Padi rehne do netra patt ki deewaar. Jaise se saagar ke kinaarein hain, Is paar aur us paar, Vaise hi tum mujhe bhool, Bichhadne do apna pyar, Mera jeevan patjhad hai, Na aayegi ismein bahaar. Na koi geet gaayegaa, Na chhedegaa aanand veena ke taar.” Sun Chandra ko boli Chakor, “Ai mere jeevan ke pyaar! Suno meri baat khol, Apne mann ke dwaar. Main na bhooloongi tumhein, Karoon prayaas kitni hi baar, Aur, Prithvi ke prayaas ke vipreet, Surya, grahan se karta prdarshit, Vah bhii apna pyaar! Aashaa ka saath na chhod, Niraashaa par karo tum vaar! Main bhi sadaiev chaahoongi tumhe, Karoongi pyaar issi prakaar.” Aaj bhi, raat ke andhere mein, Saagar ke us paar, Ek vishaal kaay vriksha par, Khole mann ke dvaar, Aakaash mein Chandrma kaa, Chakor kare intezaar……

My world did seem complete, But, still I missed someone, For whom, my heart'd beat, Whom I could be with, dusk till dawn; Whose words would be true, And heart like a lotus, pure, Who'd bring me outta moods blue, With whom, life would be so sure; Who'd love me for what I am, And wouldn't wish to see me change, Who will be just my Man, With whom, I don't feel strange; Who'd understand my heart, And the emotions it tries to contain, Whose company'd provide comfort, Who would feel all my pain; Whose touch would be gentle, Whose love would be a balm, Whose words'd be sentimental, With whom, I would feel calm; Who'd make me feel like a woman, Tender, warm and strong, Who'd be an imperfect human, But for perfection, who'd long; Whose company I'd cherish, As life's bestest treasures, Whose love'd ne'er vanish, Who'd gimme my special pleasures; Who’d be the one with me, Who would be my ‘The One', For whom, I'd thank THEE, Yes, I dreamed for such a ‘someone'. Now, I can open my eyes, My dream has come true, I've found my soulmate for life, Who'll be with me all through! (36)

Moments come in life, When you cry and weep, You have to hear, Harsh sounding words, Though message carrying sweet. You moisten those moments, With sadness and tears, Finally you recognize their worth, Somewhere down the years. You curse yourself n now feel sorry, For the time you wasted, In silly tears and worry. Further, you waste it, In deep regret, That terrible mistake, How can you forget? You forget your present, And worry about the past, You don’t realize that, Moments are slipping fast. It is now you can catch them, And fasten your grip, You don’t realize this all, Finally, they also slip. You should live your present, Not for the next day, You can never be sure, Whether it comes your way. Also, Don’t worry ‘bout the future, It will itself unfold. Don’t rush for the end, Let the story be told. Make most of it, When it is the right time, Remember the old proverb, ‘Make hay while the Sun shines.’ Take my word, dear friend, ‘Coz experience gives it birth, So that moments don’t slip, Before you realize their worth.
