My name is 'traveler' and my work is 'this walk towards my journey'

Is vishad viddh-prahaar mein

Kisko nahi behna pada

Sukh-dukh hamari hi tarah

Kisko nahi sehna pada

Phir vyarth kyun kehta phirun

Mujh par vidhaata vaam hai

Chalna hamaara kaam hai

इस विशद विश्व-प्रहार में

किसको नहीं बहना पडा

सुख-दुख हमारी ही तरह,

किसको नहीं सहना पडा

फिर व्यर्थ क्यों कहता फिरूँ,

मुझ पर विधाता वाम है,

चलना हमारा काम है ।

(Everyone has to flow with the tide of time, everyone has to face the two sides of the coin. I will not blame the almighty for any of these, for walking is my only work.)

Main poornata ki khoj mein

Dar-dar bhataktaa hi raha

Pratyek pag par kuch na kuch

Roda atakta hee raha

Niraasha kyun mujhe, Jeevan isi kaa naam hai

Chalna hamaara kaam hai

मैं पूर्णता की खोज में

दर-दर भटकता ही रहा

प्रत्येक पग पर कुछ न कुछ

रोडा अटकता ही रहा

निराशा क्यों मुझे?

जीवन इसी का नाम है,

चलना हमारा काम है ।

(In search of consummation, I kept wandering here and there. And at every point, obstacles bugged me. But why should I be sad, for such is the nature of life; such is the nature of this walk of life.)

Saath mein chalte rahe

kuch beech hi se fir gaye

gati na Jeevan ki ruki

jo gir gaye so gir gaye

rahe har dam, usi ki safalta abhiraam hai

chalna hamara kaam hai

साथ में चलते रहे

कुछ बीच ही से फिर गए

गति न जीवन की रूकी

जो गिर गए सो गिर गए

रहे हर दम,

उसी की सफलता अभिराम है,

चलना हमारा काम है ।

(Many started walking with me; some continued some dropped out mid way. Life didn’t stop for anyone, those who fell, were left behind. Unhindered success comes to only those who keep walking non-stop, this walk of life.)

fakat yah jaanta

jo mit gaya who jee gya

moond kar palkein sahaj

do ghoont has kar pi gaya

sudha mishrit garal, vah saakiya ka jam hai

chalna hamaara kaam hai

फकत यह जानता

जो मिट गया वह जी गया

मूंदकर पलकें सहज

दो घूँट हँसकर पी गया

सुधा-मिक्ष्रित गरल,

वह साकिया का जाम है,

चलना हमारा काम है ।

(The one who is ready to die for this journey, who is not afraid to drink in the joys and sorrows of life with a smile on his face is the one who lives the most. This elixir, this journey of life, is the most intoxicating of all.)

 Periyachi Amman : A Painting Made by Swapnil

tu khud ki khoj mein nikal

tu kis liye hataash hai

tu chal tere vajood ki

samay ko bhi talaash hai

(Embark on that journey of self – introspection, even time is waiting for you to find your purpose.)

jo tujh se lipti bediyaan

samajh na inko vastra tu

ye bediyaan pighaal ke

bana le in ko shastra tu

(The chains that bind you, don’t mistake them for clothes you can’t take off. Melt these chains into weapons you unleash.)

charitra jab pavitra hai

to kyun hai ye dasha teri

ye paapiyon ko haq nahi

ke lein pareeksha teri

(Why feel helpless, when you are certain of your character. The world is not entitled to test you – with so many hidden skeletons in their own closets.)

jalaa ke bhasm kar use

jo kroorta ka jaal hai

tu aarti ki lau nahi

tu krodh ki mashaal hai

(Burn down to ashes, this mesh of injustice. For you are not the meek flame, you are a raging, burning fire.)

chunar udaa ke dhwaj bana

gagan bhi kapkapaayega

agar teri chunar giri

to ek bhukamp aayega

(Make flags out of your scarves, even the sky will pay heed. The mere fall of your scarf, is enough to shake the whole of earth.)

tu khud ki khoj mein nikal

tu kis liye hataash hai

tu chal tere wajood ki

samay ko bhi talaash hai
