જીતવું હોઈ તો લડવું પડે

એક એકલો કેવી રીતે લડે ?

સાથે થઈએ તો કોઈ ના નડે ... (2)

અજવાળા માટે દીવો પ્રગટાવવો પડે 

લડવું હોઈ તો જોડાવવું પડે  ..... (2)

કંઇક પામવા 

કંઇક ખોવું  પડે 

ન્યાય જોઈએ 

તો બોલવું પડે 

જીતવું હોઈ તો લડવું પડે (2)

લડવું પડે ,  લડવું પડે ,લડવું પડે .......

{nimcj બેચ -4 ના વિદ્યાર્થીઓ દ્વારા ભજવાયેલ શેરી નાટક " જીતવું હોઈ તો લડવું પડે" માટે લખાયેલ ગીત }

અખબાર લઈને બેઠો છું.

સમાજથી જીતેલા ગુનાહોની વણઝાર લઈને બેઠો છું ,

સવારની  પહોરમાં  અખબાર  લઈને  બેઠો  છું.

મસાલેદાર ખબરોથી ભરેલી થાળીનો રણકાર સાંભળતો બેઠો છું 

સવારની  પહોરમાં  અખબાર  લઈને  બેઠો  છું.

ક્રાંતિથી વેપાર સુધીના મુસાફરીનું સાધન પકડીને બેઠો છું  

સવારની  પહોરમાં  અખબાર  લઈને  બેઠો  છું.

બોલતી- નબોલતી તસ્વીરો સાથે શબ્દસાર વાંચતો  બેઠો છું 

સવારની  પહોરમાં  અખબાર  લઈને  બેઠો  છું.

નકારાત્મકતાના માર્ગે ભૂલા પડેલા માર્ગદર્શકનો હાથ પકડીને બેઠો છું 

સવારની  પહોરમાં  અખબાર  લઈને  બેઠો  છું.

Hero’s like before

In my father’s childhood, 
The hero’s were Gandhi, Nehru & Bose
And many other freedom fighters
He did not see them,
but just heard about them
Grandfather told them all the stories of Freedom fighters.
Their fighting style, non –violence & 
with the violence
different minds and different styles.
But their target was the same.
All were freedom fighters,
No matter whatever name they had,
Land, language and religion
No partiality in the fight against the British men.
Time  has changed now,
We have become free since the last 64 years
But, politicians are playing games,
They are partial with the people
By land, language & religion
Before every work, they will ask your name
That’s why I never make them my hero’s & 
neither is the youth making them their Idol
They are still searching for people
like Gandhi ,Nehru , Bose,
Lal ,Bal ,Pal.
A Prime Minister like Lal Bahadur Shastri.
It’s not easy to find Hero’s like before.

Journey

River born 
And started her 
Journey 
Searching 
Her own way 
To meet her 
Loved husband 
To join and hug him 
Is only destination 
Of  life 
She started journey 
making her own path 
on the hills rocks 
trees and valleys 
she ran through 
villages cities 
she crossed boarders 
countries and continents 
No government and 
No boarder 
Stop journey of 
river 

River running 
without ride or 
guide 
to meet ocean 
whom she always loves 
she is running 
in the day & night 
she gave her water 
to the needy 
and hugged 
the harvest 
to give food 
to man and animal 
when she reaches 
she is running 
to hug and live 
with her husband 
ocean 
to hug and live 
with him forever 
river is running.

एक नया दौर

चिन्टूमिंया मंदी से हार गए थे,

धंधे एक - दो नहीं चार गए थे,

चिन्टूमिंया ने जब जीवन अंत का सोचा,

उनके पिताजी ने तब उन्हें खूब डांटा,

बोले वो घाटे हुए थे हमें कईबार,

फिर भी न आये थे ऐसे विचार ,

बुजुर्गोने हमें समझाया था ,

मुश्किल हालातों से बचाया था ,

जीवन अंत का विचार तुम जाओ भूल, 

अपने कार्यो में तुम हो जाओ  मशगूल, 

इस मंदी से तुम मत डरो , 

मेरी सलाह पे सिर्फ अमल करो,

बुजुर्गो के मार्गदर्शन से घाटे हुए थे दुर ,

वही तो दौर था जब हम हुए थे मशहूर ,

उस सलाह ने अपना चमत्कार दिखाया, 

चिन्टूमिंया के जीवन में एक नया दौर आया.

-अली असगर देवजानी 

"The Dress of sky"

Night is the time 
when sky changes its dress 
blue turns to the black 
there are few other dress 
in the sky's collection 
designed by the almighty 
but the favorite are only two 
we call it Black & blue 
you always found black 
in the night 
the special dress of the sky 
shining white dots 
in the dress 
at the huge height 
there are many great designs 
in the black dress 
but unfortunately 
not easy to trace 
The most beautiful part 
of the the black dress 
is the white button 
enhancing the beauty 
of the dress 
as his duty 
that button is the only 
one who changes 
size 
night by night 
it decreases 
& increases 
but the black dress 
always looks beautiful 
with that button 
night is the time 
when sky changes its dress
