पूजनीय प्रभु हमारे भाव उज्ज्वल कीजिये
Reverend God please help us to have pious feelings
छोड़ देवें छल-कपट को, मानसिक बल दीजिये
May we leave treachery, and be strong in mind and spirit
वेद की बोलें ऋचाएँ, सत्य को धारण करें
May we recite Veda-mantras , and hold on to the truth
हर्ष में हों मग्न सारे, शोक-सागर से तरें
May all of us be jubilant in joy, and be delivered from the sea of sorrow
अश्वमेधादिक रचाएँ, यज्ञ पर-उपकार को
May we perform Ashvamedha yajnas and help others
धर्म-मर्यादा चला कर लाभ दें संसार को
May we always live with faith and dignity and benefit the world
नित्य श्रद्धा-भक्ति से यज्ञादि हम करते रहें
May we keep on performing yajnas regularly with faith and reverence
रोग-पीड़ित विश्व के संताप सब हरते रहें
And help to alleviate the world from the pain of disease and suffering
भावना मिट जाए मन से पाप-अत्याचार की
May our mind be free from the feelings of sin and atrocities
कामनाएँ पूर्ण होवें यज्ञ से नर-नार की
May the desires of all men and women be fulfilled by Yajna
लाभकारी हो हवन हर जीवधारी के लिए
May the hawan be beneficial for every living being
वायु-जल सर्वत्र हों शुभ गन्ध को धारण किए
May the air-water everywhere hold the auspicious smell
स्वार्थ-भाव मिटे हमारा, प्रेम-पथ विस्तार हो
May we get rid of our selfish feelings and enhance the path of love
“इदन्न-मम” का सार्थक प्रत्येक में व्यवहार हो
May we truly believe that “Nothing is mine” everything belongs to God and put it into practice
प्रेमरस में तृप्त होकर वन्दना हम कर रहे
We worship you feeling contented with love
नाथ करुणा-रूप करुणा आपकी सब पर रहे
O Lord, our protector may your kindness always be bestowed on everyone

ग़र धूप न हो, तो छाँव ही क्या ?
रात न हो, तो सुबह ही क्या ?
गुज़रने को तो ज़िंदगी गुज़र ही जाती है….
ठोकर न लगी तो रोज़ की इस
कदमताल का मज़ा ही क्या ?
ग़र आँसू नहीं तो मुस्कान ही क्या ?
सूखा न हो तो बारिश की बूँद भी क्या ?
ज़िंदगी के रास्ते अच्छा है ग़र आसां हों…..
पर मुश्किलें न हों, तो मंज़िल पा जाना ही क्या ?
जब निराशा नहीं तो आशा ही कैसी ?
और हार न हो तो जीत भी कैसी ?
आगे बढ़ते जाना अच्छा तो है मगर….
ज़मीं न देखी तो आसमां पा लेना ही क्या ?
मणि
The English translation of this poem is given below…..
If there is no Sun…..
Then what use is Shade?
What is morning without night?
Life keeps going on…..
But if one never stumbles….
What fun is there in this daily marchpast?
If no tears, then what is a smile worth?
If no draught, what is a drop of rain?
It is good if life’s paths are easy…….
But if there are no obstacles,
What is achieving one’s aim worth?
If no despair, then no hope
If no defeat, no victory….
It is good to keep on moving ahead but….
If one has not seen the land….
What is the use of reaching to the skies?

Posting the English translation too…….
If they answer not to thy call walk alone,
If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,
O thou unlucky one,
open thy mind and speak out alone.
If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,
O thou unlucky one,
trample the thorns under thy tread,
and along the blood-lined track travel alone.
If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,
O thou unlucky one,
with the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart
and let it burn alone.

Whenever I think about God, what comes to my mind is a great source of energy, power and positivity, a little amount of energy is also distributed from that source in this world, we too possess a part of it…..as for taking decision about the rights and wrongs, that energy inside us (which we call our अंतरात्मा) always warns us if we go against all what is positive according to it, henceforth it is our responsibility whether we weaken it or strengthen it, can’t blame God for everything….this is our ‘Life’….we have to live, love, fight and struggle and prove ourselves worthy for this amazing gift…..it is quite simple and scientific according to me. When that energy leaves us, we are nothing….. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but I firmly believe that one day Science will prove and explain about the existence of God………..as all the other mysteries, it will be uncovered some day whether we are there to see it or not…….
Anything or any belief which scares or frightens us is never good for us. I have seen so many people scared that they will be harmed if they do not follow rituals or keep fasts and sick patients and pregnant ladies fasting due to this. We are a part of that Supreme Energy, we should be Free and Fearless in spirit for all that is right, the only thing we should be afraid of is ‘Treading the wrong path’. That is why I also believe that all the people living their lives simply and positively and on the right path are worshipping God by doing this only, it doesn’t matter if they visit the religious places or not, perform special ceremonies or not….’Right Kind of Life is their Religion’ which is just great I feel……

कैसी जादू-भरी वो इक नज़र थी
मैं जागी कुछ ऐसे…….
जैसे कभी सोई ही न थी
जिसे सूना रेगिस्तान समझा……
वहाँ कल-कल बहती एक नदी थी
रात यूँ रोशन हुई………
जैसे कभी अंधेरी ही न थी
आँखें सपनों से ऐसे छलकीं……
जैसे कभी सूखी न थीं
कैसी जादू-भरी वो इक नज़र थी
