Original Poem

भर जाते हैं ज़ख्म

भर जाते हैं ज़ख्म ‘मानस’, उन्हें बस थोडा वक़्त दीजियें।
पूर्व घटित किसी घटना से, हृदय अपना न सख्त कीजियें।।

माना हुई किसी से गलती, पर अज्ञानी ‘मानस’ पाले जो वैर।
रहोगे रोगी माफ़ न कर, क्या जब तक कोई पकड़े न पैर।।

भले ओढ़ लो तन पर ‘मानस’, पर्दा शान-ओ-शौकत का।
पर मलिन आत्मा हैं उसकी, छिपा एब जहाँ नफ़रत का।।

झूठी हैं ‘मानस’ वो कठोरता, जो रिश्ते की ही कर दे मृत्यु।
अपनों को ही पड़े छोड़ना, नहीं देते छोड़ वो रूढ़ि क्यूँ।।

एक प्रहर रखो अधिकतम, और द्वेष ‘मानस’ विष के सम।
विशाल हृदय का परिचय देकर, त्यागो अपने अहम् का भ्रम।।

स्नेही से क्रोधी ‘मानस’, हो जाओ न तब्दील कही।
अल्प अम्ल का भीतर संयोग, बनता फटकर दूध दही।।

माना नहीं ‘मानस’ आसान, पर रखना दिल साफ़ धुल से।
कर्मबंध हो जिस किसी से, मत रखना वो भाव कभी भूल से।।

Bhar Jaate Hain Zakhma

Zakhm bhar jaate hain ‘Manas’, unhe bas thoda waqt dijiye,
Poorv ghatit kisi ghatna se, hriday apna na sakt kijiye…

Manaa kisi se hui galti, par agyaani ‘Manas’ paale jo vair,
Rahoge rogi maaf na kar, kya jab tak koi padke na pair…

Bhale odh lo tan par ‘Manas’, pardaa shaan-o-shaukat ka,
Par malin aatma hain uski, chipaa aib jahaa nafarat ka…

Jhoothi hain ‘Manas’ vo kathorta, jo rishte ki hi kar de mrityu,
Apno ko hi pade chodnaa, nahi dete chod vo roodhi kyu…

Ek prahar rakho adhiktam, aur dwesh ‘Manas’ vish ke sam,
Parichay dekar vishal hriday ka, tyaago apne aham ka bhram…

Snehi se krodhi ‘Manas’, ho jaao na tabdil kahi,
Alpa amla ka bheetar sanyog, bantaa fatkar doodh dahi…

Manaa nahi ‘Manas’ aasaan, par rakhna dil saaf dhool se,
Karmabandh ho jis kisi se, mat rakhna vo bhav kabhi bhool se…

Scars Heal

Scars heal; just give them some time. Don’t harden your heart by some past event that has occurred…

I can understand that a mistake happened by someone. But ignorant is the one who breeds aversion (hatred). Will you remain ill, by not forgiving, unless someone holds your feet?

It’s okay if you wear the curtain of pride and pomp on the body; but that soul is polluted where exists the vice of hatred…

Such stiffness is false, that kills a relation itself. By which you need to leave your beloved ones, why don’t you leave that convention itself?

Keep it for maximum three hours; further hatred is akin to poison. By portraying a great heart, abandon the illusion of own ego…

May you don’t get transformed from a loving to a hateful person! Even by little inner contact of sourness, the milk gets turned into curd…

I can understand that it is not easy, but do keep the heart clean from dust. Due to which karmic bondage occur, don’t keep that temperament, even by mistake…
