Let's Cry !!!

Let's Cry!!!

Let's cry

From all the fronts, from all sides .

Because they fear.

Our cry becomes dangerous

For their conspiracy they hatch .

And our silence encourages

These killers to kill more,

To inflict more pain,

To celebrate our poverty, mourning and helplessness.

Whenever we stop crying.

They start raining with

Bombs, bullets, and poisonous designs.

In complete madness, they take

To shooting , to bombing , to maiming  and then to torching us.

This makes us silent forever.

See in Iraq, what they did.

See in Egypt, what they are doing.

See everywhere; all around you

These monsters quenching their thirst

With the blood of innocent people.

They wear smile on their lips.

They seem friends.

But stab always on the back

They are the real man eaters on earth

Because they have no respect for women.

No love for children.

They are shameless.

I ask : how long will we be silent spectators ?

How long will we allow them to kill our people?

How long will we overlook their misdeeds ?

How long will we wait for retort?

How long will we see innocent lives on the gallows?

How long will we take to unite and fight these tyrants?

I must say: Let's cry

Let's cry... Let's cry...

Till they are scared to death.

Till everyone have enough to live.

Till everyone sleep happily. __________Sohrab Alam Ansari

LOVE IN THE NATURE

                                         LOVE IN THE NATURE 

She spread her locks the night

Her face was beaming with light

She was sitting on my right

Our hugging in the dark was very tight

Her contour of body I felt

To kiss her on forehead I knelt 

I found my lips to be at  melt

Her cloth entangled into my belt

The Sun was about to go down 

We forgot if it was dusk or dawn

Our love not at stop; it was on

A chain of light was coming from the town 

 The wind was blowing slowly 

She was kissing me softly

I was counting her hair knowingly

Seeing us, birds chirped happily

We were playing an unknown game 

This was like trying a wild animal to tame 

We both were warming ourselves in love's flame

At the dead of the night we came

जब हम बच्चे थे !

जब हम बच्चे थे !

माँ के गोद में खेलते 

सबसे हरदम प्रेम थे मिलते 

खुशियों के थे फूल बरसते 

हर पल हँसते  रहते थे 

जब हम बच्चे थे ।

माँ के आँचल में लिपटे रहते 

भय से कोसों दूर हम रहते 

जग को आँगन से तुलना करते 

संसार उसे समझते थे 

जब हम बच्चे थे ।

दुःख- दर्द और पीड़ा का नहीं आभास थे होते 

जब हम माँ के पास थे होते 

रात को जब हम थे रोते 

लोरियाँ हम सब सुनते थे 

जब हम बच्चे थे ।

अमीर कौन गरीब कौन 

मीत कौन शत्रु कौन 

हिन्दू , मुस्लिम, इसाई कौन 

हम अनभिग थे ; पर सच्चे थे 

जब हम बच्चे थे ।

राम-रहीम में भेद ना करते 

सब घर जाते खेलते और खाते 

ईद, दशहरा और होली भी संग 

हम मनाया करते थे 

जब हम बच्चे थे ।
