the moments of struggle are long
yet we are on that path
Enjoying the fun of 'trying'
Making effort as a friend
...

I don't know why my sheet is torn
I sew at every place
where it is torn
Sometimes it stuck in thorns
...

The distances from the target are not distances
This is the hope of living
why should I leave them
...

**English translation of the Hindi poem (given at end) : **

**Close.... all..... the.... doors, ..... close..... all...... the....... windows.**
**But......... how....... will......... you.......... stop.......... my....... m..a..d..n..e..s..s, O world, O trouble? **
...

The mirror of my dream!
The world came and broke every time
I was stubborn too
glued it every time
...

I am addicted to every new addiction
Sometimes in happiness, sometimes in sorrow, to get entangled

How to solve life without getting entangled in it
...

my life is so innocent
The seed that was planted - knowingly or unknowingly
it just made them grow
It made a tree consisting of all habits -
...

hey friend,
did you know your goal?

You keep on fluttering like a bird,
...

मेरा जीवन, बड़ा सयाना
जो बीज डाला, उसीको बड़ा कर डाला
बुरी, अच्छी, गंदी, सही,
आदतों का पेड़ बना डाला
...

Can you find a path that does not have any stumbling blocks?
If you get it, see it carefully, there is no destination in it.
God feeds selectively, flowers in his flower bed
Patience, courage, dedication, determination, he weighs in the scales every day,
...

I admit I'm a failure
Still
I find the way
where I can break down,
...

जिंदगी ने बहुत गम तुमको दिए
पर हर गम पर रोने का क्या फायदा
जख्म अभी सब भरे भी नहीं
पर उनको खुरदने का क्या फायदा
...

जब मंजिले ही बड़ी नहीं,
संघर्ष क्या खाक करोगे?
बेहतर बनने का लक्ष्य नहीं,
विचारों को कैसे साफ करोगे?
...

औकात जिसकी जितनी यहां पर
मंजिल बस उतनी ही मिलेगी
पाना है तुमको सागर जो
लहरों सा रोज टकराना पड़ेगा
...

How much deep are your thoughts here
that very height of the target is yours here
if you have to get the ocean
you have to collide every day like waves, O dear!
...

Where does this road lead
Sometimes my steps are afraid
Sometimes my steps go forward
...
