हैप्पी होली. . . .

प्यार के रंग से भर पिचकारी,

स्नेह के रंग से रंग दो दुनिया सारी,

ये रंग ना जाने कोई जात ना कोई बोली,

आपको हमारी तरफ से हैप्पी होली.

- - - -

हर रंग आप पे बरसे,

हर कोई आपसे होली खेलने को तरसे,

रंग दे आप को सब इतना,

की आप रंग छुड़ाने को तरसे.

परियों के रंग दमकते हो,

खुशियों के जाम छलकते हो,

महबूब नसे में चहकते  हो,

तब देखो बहारे इन होली की,

जब फाल्गुन में रंग झमकते हो.

- - - -

होली आज मनाना है,

तुमको रंग लगाना है,

प्रतिकार करो या इंकार करो,

पर रंगों को स्वीकार करो,

रंगों से तुम्हे नेह्लाना है.

होली आज मनाना है.

- - - -

होली के रंगों की मेहक ही अलग होती है,

कुछ रिश्तों की बात ही अलग होती है,

कुछ यूँ सजा है होली का ये त्यौहार,

अपनों की भेजी हुई सौगात अलग होती है.

It's You . . .

It isn't the money you're making,
it isn't the clothes you wear,
And it isn't the skill of your good right hand which makes folks really care.
It's the smile on your face and
the light of your eye and the burdens that you bear.

Most any old man can tell you, most any old man at all,

Who has lived through all sorts of weather, winter and summer and fall,

That riches and fame are shadows that dance on the garden wall.

It's how do you live and neighbor, how do you work and play,

It's how do you say "good morning" to the people along the way,

And it's how do you face your troubles whenever your skies are gray.

It's you, from the dawn to nighttime; you when the day is fair,

You when the storm is raging - how do you face despair?

It is you that the world discovers, whatever the clothes you wear.

You to the end of the journey,
kindly and brave and true,
The best and the worst of you gleaming in all that you say and do,
And the ting that counts isn't money,
or glory, or power, but YOU!

I wish . . .

I wish I may, I wish I might,
For something good to come in sight.
I wish to see my shinning star,
And maybe it will come tonight.

And with that star I plan to wish,
For all I love to come to me.
My hopes and dreams I will soon see,
All that's needed is to wish for thee.
