Funeral Blues

A lovely poem by W.H. Auden

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.


Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Cry Me A River lyrics

One of the songs i liked very much ...

Now you say you're lonely
You cry the whole night through
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

And now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
'Cause I cried a river over you

You drove me nearly out of my head
While you never shed a tear, babe
Remember, I remember all that you said
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me

And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Why don't you cry me a river, cry me a river?
'Cause I cried a river over you, over you

You say you love me, but you lie

Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river, oh, cry me a river
I cried a river over you, I cried a river over you

I cried a river, now you can too
Cry me a river, cry me a river

મુબારક તુજ્હને

મળ્યા આપડે કાલની વાત છે
છુટા પડી જસુ આજની વાત છે

મુબારક તુજ્હને યે ઘડી યે દિવસ
મળ્યા સજન જે ઘડી જે દિવસ

સખી રી તારા લગન થશે
શાહનાયી વાગશે , ધૂળ વાગશે
સાખી રી તારી વિદાઈ થશે
આમારી આખોં માં ગંગા જમના વેહ્શે

તારી દરયેક યાદને
તારી મુલાકાત ને
સાજાવી રાખશું હ્રિદય માં
પરોવી રાખશું મંડા માં

પણ સખીરી
આ આજનો પલ
મુબારક છે તુજ્હને

શું ભૂલ થઇ.....

તમારી નારાઝગી ની શું છે વાજા
કેમ આપી રહયા છો મુજ્હને આ સજા

થઇ છે મુજ્હથી નાની ખાતા
પણ દિલ પર નહિ આ લેતા

કેમ છે આટલી બધી નારાઝગી
આ વાત નથી આટલી વ્યાજબી

તમરો પત્ર વાચવા તરસી રહયો ચુ
એક ગોસ્તી કરી શકું યાચના કરી રહ્યો ચુ

નાં થઇ જતા મુજ્હ થી દૂર
કઈ નથી મારું તમારા સિવાય મારા હઝૂર

માફી માંગી રહ્યો ચુ દિલથી
નહિ મળ્યા જો જલ્દી થી
રહી જશે આફ્સૂસ શું ભૂલ થઇ.....



One of the poems written now few years ago some 8-9 years ago.Now have lost touch with writing may be will get into rhythm soon..

जब सामने वो आ जाते है

जब सामने वो आ जाते है
ना जाने क्या हो जाता है

साँसे मेरी थम जाती है
और धड़कन बस रुक जाती है

तूफ़ान सा दिल में उठा जाता है
और एक प्यास सी दिल में जगा जाता है

छीनकर चैन मेरा , दर्द दे जाता है
मात्वाले नैन जब भी मिला जाता है

कहनी होतो है बात कोई
कुछ और ही हम कह जाते है

की हमने सँभालने की नाकाम कोशिश कई
पर न जाने क्या हो जाता है
................जब सामने वोह आजाते है.....
