**Undoubtedly Infamous**
Naturally, being a lover, I am undoubtedly infamous;
I remain oblivious to the conventions of the universe.
Rich in boundless, infinite love,
I am the cherished desire of a beautiful, youthful heart.
Deeply connected to the soul with intense longing,
I am the embodiment of an eternal, unending love.
Sent by the Divine to spread peace and love across the cosmos,
I am a lovely message from God Himself.
The Almighty left nothing wanting;
I am wealthy in the love of my own and my loved ones.

**Hope**
Keep the lamp of hope burning,
And nurture faith within your heart.
When the moment comes for the final journey,
Keep your hands adorned with *mehndi*.
The promise made to walk together for a lifetime, O friend—
Keep that vow faithfully.
True joy in living will be found
When distances are erased from the mind.
To quench a thirst spanning lifetimes,
Keep offering the chalice of love.

**Sparrow**
Fly gently, little sparrow, lest my dreams spill over;
Clouds and birds have sung sweet songs of joy.
There is delight in soaring high and far;
Mountains of milk-white clouds have appeared in the sky.
The flight of courage offers the most beautiful vista;
Witnessing the universe's finest, most exquisite sights.
With a heart inclined toward love, let us—freely and openly—
Revel in joy as we cut through the valleys of the sky.
Since our time here is brief, let us—together—
Adorn this short life with love and affection.

**Color**
The hue of those blue eyes has captivated me;
At first glance, it has taken hold of my heart.
Like an arrow, the very first strike pierced deep... He has left behind a wound that will never heal.
Illuminating this colorful world,
He has adorned the realm of love.
What magic has this romance wrought?
He has entered my heart through my very gaze.
Teaching me a love that is lethal in its intensity,
He has turned me into a mad, lovestruck *Majnu*.

**Guise**
A human constantly changes their guise,
Often going back on their own word.
Sometimes through words, sometimes through silence,
They act out restlessly before others.
Who knows how many faces hide behind the mask?
Their true nature spills out without them even trying.
Turning from devil to angel by turns,
They bask in the glow of false pride and ego.
Ignoring the nuances of time and the reality of circumstances,
They are forever busy judging others.
Adapting to the ups and downs of life,
They thrive alongside the changing conditions.
Laughing or weeping, often oblivious,
They drift along with the flow of time.

**It Would Be Good**
It would be good to speak what is in the heart;
It would be good to find a moment of peace and solace.
It is not as if one is wealthy in sorrow;
It would be good to bring in happiness day by day.
Walking hand-in-hand through enchanting valleys,
It would be good to sing songs filled with love.
Having embraced patience to sustain life,
It would be good to let the freshness of dawn fill the soul.
Who knows how long this breath will stay with us?
It would be good to celebrate every day and night.

**I Love My Village**
I love my village; it embodies the pride of my ancestors.
It is my birthplace, the source of the honor that dwells in my soul.
A time of stories and tales, where everyone laughs and revels in joy. Where love and affection dwell, and cherished customs are held in high esteem—
There, amidst Diwali lamps, Holi colors, and the delightful melodies of *Phag*, resides the very soul of my life—my village.
My childhood school and that humble stool where I gained invaluable knowledge—
It is from my village that I derive my honor, dignity, and pride in this world.
Fields and threshing grounds stretch far and wide, and we cross the river by boat. My true identity comes from my village.

Humanity towards animals and birds
One should show humanity towards animals and birds;
Arrangements for their food and water should be made.
Many animals and birds find themselves in helpless states;
Water troughs should be kept filled during the summer heat.
God has provided food for all living beings;
The entire living creation should be nurtured well.
The gardens, groves, fields, and barns of the universe
Should come alive with the chirping of birds.
Everyone has an equal right to live in this world;
No will should prevail other than God's.
23-6-2026
The entire body was wounded; such was the injury,
The sight was so shocking that it instilled fear.
My steps halted right there, my beloved;
I could never forget it; such was the bond.
I kept gazing at that graceful charm of beauty, O friend;
Even God seemed captivated; such was the pull.
My heart paused in the shade of those thick tresses;
I could not look away; such was the moment of pause.
I lost the game early on; there was no spirit left in the play;
I found no joy in it; such was the nature of the wager.

Woman: An embodiment of courage
A woman is courage personified, and her gaze—
Her sidelong glances can leave one wounded.
When she observes a vow of silence,
Her very quietude speaks volumes.
Just one look from her eyes is enough, O friend;
Her eyes shower down the essence of maternal love.
Her life resides in her loved ones;
Her very breath continues for the sake of her children.
A woman herself does not even realize
How her days transition from morning to evening.
A goddess of love, compassion, and harmony;
Her memories dwell within the hearts of her loved ones.
May the winds of storms never touch her;
We pray for this every day. Her radiant days...
She grows weary from work from morning onwards;
Exhaustion makes her nights feel endless.
She fosters a sense of closeness even from afar;
Her arms hold everyone together.

**Countless Destinations**
Countless destinations and the quest for them—on one side;
The desire to attain everything in life—on the other.
There is a unique joy in fleeting encounters;
Conversations with the beautiful—on one side.
Today, I am in the mood for poetry;
For the fragrance of flowers from beauty's embrace—on one side.
When a phone conversation brings no solace;
A face-to-face meeting—even in thought—is far better.
A strange, sparkling glow surrounds everything;
Behold the firefly shining alongside the home's light.
**Sister: A Bond Beyond Words**
A sister is a bond that transcends words;
She is the reflection of a mother in one's life,
Sowing the seeds of love and happiness.
She grows up too soon, taking on responsibilities;
Forgoing her own comfort for the sake of her siblings.
Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with her loved ones;
She shares in everyone's laughter and tears.
Offering support in joy and sorrow, she uplifts spirits;
Binding the family together like beads on a single thread.
It is a lovely bond, a sacred feeling;
A sister’s way of living is truly unique.
As mother, sister, friend, teacher, and companion;
She nurtures us through the circumstances of daily life.
She is the reflection of the mother and the protective shadow of the father;
Devoting herself entirely to her parents' well-being.
**An Untold Story**
Let the untold story remain untold;
Let the hidden pain within it be borne in silence.
Since the lips have taken a vow of silence;
Let the eyes speak openly what they wish to convey.
No one is truly affected by the story;
Let one wear a cloak of happiness to show the world.
For one eventually forms the habit of embracing sorrow as one's own. Let it smolder quietly in the fire of silence.
No one changes for another, my friend;
So, let things remain exactly as they are.

Memories
I have wrapped myself in memories,
Gathering life together, straw by straw.
I sketched a picture upon a mound of earth;
At times, I have cherished my solitude.
I wrote a name amidst the rain showers;
Do not blame me—my heart is fragile.
Stay with the one who makes the journey easy;
Their presence brings light to life.
Believe it or not, this is the truth, my friend:
Love has drawn me toward a new beginning.
28-6-2026
First Glance
At first glance, my heart went wild;
Lost in the thick shade of flowing tresses.
At the dawn of love, in adoration of beauty,
I drifted to sleep, dreaming lovely dreams.
Gradually driving me mad with passion,
It sowed intoxicating, sweet moments of love.
The very moment I had long awaited—
Behold the magic: an age-old wait has vanished.
Savor the joy and gaze to your heart's content;
This moment, once gone, will never return.

Sorcery
Life is a caravan driven by the sorcery of fate;
In this universe, everyone has their own distinct sky.
We move just as life itself moves forward;
Who knows what tales are written in the book of destiny?
Though everyone in the world may seem like kin, my friend,
Wherever the heart finds a bond, consider that your true home.
Live every moment of joy and happiness to the fullest;
For in this universe, nothing is truly eternal. Whether to believe or not is a matter left to the individual;
This beautiful life is a blessing bestowed by the Divine.
There are those who do not understand, and it is essential to enlighten them;
To convey the message, one must reveal the state of one's heart.
Even if one wishes to keep a matter deeply hidden,
It is necessary to let the lips give voice to the heart's true feelings.
For a lifetime, love was viewed merely as a game—
A mere meeting of gazes, a fleeting encounter.
We have lived with a thirst to behold the beloved,
Seeking the ultimate peace and serenity of the soul.
To foster a connection through bold, expressive eyes,
It is essential to smile ever so slightly and blush with bashfulness.
