HAPPINESS - 145

Where are you headed?

Finding peace, are you?

 

In whose memory

Are you singing this song?

 

At first glance itself,

You are captivating the heart.

 

Bringing a cool, intoxicating,

And lovely atmosphere.

 

Adorning the home

With the fragrance of flowers.

There is nothing to it

 

If there is no substance to the matter, stop worrying;

Stop heaving aimless, cold sighs.

 

Everyone’s days pass much the same way here,

So stop languishing in sadness, claiming you "don't feel like it."

 

No one walks with another for a lifetime,

So stop pining for the faithless and the selfish.

 

Live for the one who truly cares for you;

Stop sacrificing your own peace and comfort for others.

 

Instead of worrying about tomorrow, make today wonderful;

Time will set everything right—stop being afraid.

A thousand colors

A thousand colorful aspirations keep growing in the mind;

One keeps telling oneself to always maintain courage.

 

In this world, no one can take away another's pain;

We silently endure the pains and sorrows of life.

 

To keep our loved ones happy, today

We wear a facade of happiness.

Company

One should keep the company of good people in life;

One should have a trusted confidant to whom one can speak openly.

 

When people serve themselves, they often create a mess;

One should always arrange a communal feast where others are served.

 

By moving forward together in harmony,

One should maintain the vibrant hue of happiness in life.

Promise

One must have the courage to keep one's word;

By honoring commitments, one sows the seeds of trust.

 

In such a way that mutual animosity never arises... Cherish your relationships well.

 

No one can offer love like a mother and father;

One should sleep in the loving lap of maternal affection.

 

Having come into this world, we cannot live alone;

To truly live life, one needs a companion.

 

The universe is filled with strangers;

One needs a sanctuary to call one's own.

Smile

Keep a smile adorning your lips;

Maintain bonds with everyone.

 

Be a true confidant, not just offering empty sympathy;

Nurture relationships from the heart.

 

Even if you leave customs and traditions behind,

Keep love close to your heart.

 

If a conflict proves costly,

Make peace with your estranged beloved.

 

Life will pass with ease;

Always earn and uphold respect.

Life

Live life with courage;

Embrace both joy and sorrow with a smile.

 

To ward off life's harsh blows,

Share and shoulder the sorrows of your loved ones.

 

Drenched in the colors of affection and longing,

Let a corner of your heart be imbued with love.

 

Move forward viewing life as an act of devotion;

Let your hands be adorned with the color of henna.

 

The story of this introduction is simple:

Let the relationship be steeped in love and affection.

Rain

Oh Rain Queen, come pour down now;

We have longed for you—do not keep us waiting any longer.

 

Intoxicating, playful, swaying, and graceful—

Come, winds, dancing in every direction.

 

The heat has left us distressed and weary;

We yearn for coolness—do not torment us further.

 

The days of the rainy season are here;

Clouds, do not thunder without pouring rain.

 

Clouds arrive, dancing and making others dance;

Shower down a torrent of water with you.

24-7-2026 **Purity**

My acquaintance with purity is simply this:

To a human, it is like a precious jewel.

 

Do not ask for the tale of the path of love;

My love for you is just as deep as yours for me.

 

I hold no grudge or grievance against anyone;

Everyone in this world feels like one of my own.

 

Just tell the coming and going waves:

The shore is but a humble support for the surging tide.

 

A mere habitual smile from that person—

And the thought of them flows like a refreshing spring for me.

 

**Life**

Spend this short life with a smile;

Cast off every burden from your heart and mind.

 

Happiness does not simply arrive; one must bring it forth;

Cherish every moment of every day and night.

 

Many are in need, though they may not speak of it;

Offer shelter to someone you meet along the way.

 

Many aspirations are nurturing within hearts;

Fulfill those dreams and give them a place to thrive.

 

For the sake of an awakened and developed nation—

To build the country, share the gift of books.

 

**Open Book**

A bird returns to the open sky from an open cage;

A human becomes truly human by reading an open book.

 

An open book—may it not remain merely open;

May someone truly read and understand it well.

 

A river of wisdom flows across every page;

May reading it bring true understanding.

 

Books were the essence of life back then;

Those days spent with friends were truly cherished.

 

They are adept at reading the expressions on a face;

While the complete aura of love dwells within the heart.

 

Today, I came to meet them, having surrendered my defenses;

And today, I sang the songs they had written.

 

**The Weather Comes Alive**

The weather came alive when the rain showers arrived;

Bringing with them a season of abundant joy.

 

Spring has arrived, delighting the heart and making it dance with joy. The Peacock

When the rain arrived to make nature’s form enchanting...

 

The winds struck up a melody; the river flows with a gentle murmur.

Peacocks dance, the cuckoo calls, and the rainbird sings a soulful tune...

 

The earth has adorned herself in full splendor; sing songs of celebration.

Lovers everywhere have fallen for this vibrant mood of the season...

 

Greenery spreads all around; the land is filled with joy.

A *rangoli* of rainbow hues has appeared across the sky...

Living Apart

It strengthens the resolve to live even while apart.

It fuels a spirited passion for life...

 

Amidst gatherings of fresh, new joys each day,

It adorns the mornings and evenings with colorful pearls...

 

To create a beautiful, enchanting world,

It decks the days and nights with the moon and stars...

 

When the breeze lifts the veil from the face,

That lovely sight is captured and cherished in one's gaze...

 

Do not grow weary from the rush of love;

It teaches us to live life with joy and happiness...

Moments of Leisure

In moments of leisure, memories bring a pang of longing,

Causing tears to pour down like the heavy monsoon rains.

 

Oh, to find those moments of leisure once again—

They leave me yearning for a meeting that feels so distant.

 

Those loose tresses, those intoxicating eyes—oh, what a sight!

They strike the heart with the force of a thunderbolt.

 

Those scenes will never return;

Memories become the very support that helps one live on.

 

When I spend even a few minutes with myself,

My mind drifts back to the moments of days gone by.

What is the Secret?

Tell me, what secret have you hidden in your heart?

Share your state of mind and place your trust in me.

 

What is the use of letting a secret weigh heavy on your heart?

Gather the courage to speak your mind.

 

Leave the past behind and move forward;

Plant roses in the garden of your life.

 

Since we are in this world, we must live—so think of that;

Life goes on, so just smile.

 

A secret remains a secret until it is revealed;

Do not live in anguish—break the silence and speak up.
