+That is visible from here
+This is visible from there
+It is said the fencing is twisting
+Let it twist on as it would be
+Up up above, up up above
+Down it rols on, it rols on
+Rolling down is a rock from a hill high up
+Move my little babe lest the rock crushes her.
+Brave warriors shout together yonder over there
+Does her dad join them and kill an enemy
+There we go, hunting young men
+When the Creator cried in the morn.
+You dear children, oh my dear children
+You bury me here with a little tender care
+My Ngente village, a delightful abode
+Never will I forget until I die
+When· we enjoy the life of our Ngente village
+How much we feel and long to be there once again
+Scaring birds away in the paddy fields,
+We play mock hunting with bamboo-made guns
+We were warriors brave in these hill spurs
+Playing our mock battles in the jhums,
+As if we were warriors with arms so strong
+We knocked everything right and left
+Imitating lovers of Buang town
+The cicada sings melody in yonder tree
+Joyful harbinger of harvest time
+Do hearts of lovers of Buang village beat
+Filled with lonesome feeling when Cicada sings
+High in a tree the sentimental strain
+Painful, oh, painful beyond all bearing
+earning for you like a young bird for its mother
+I pine, I faint through all day long
+Long is the day, nor shorter is the night,
+I languish on my bed through the long hours
+Pining for her who pines not for me
+Could I but speak their tongues, fain would I ask
+The birds and the singing cicadas of the air,
+If ever a lover's yearning was subsistence enough
+Deceive me not, be considerate,
+If you are not for me let me go
+My bewildered path like a fowl benighted.
+Come, think, how sad, how very sad it is,
+As though this transient life on earth we pass,
+To fade and not to know the bliss of love
+The trees on the hilltop sway in the wind,
+Beloved, I fear lest our love should sway,
+In the malicious wind of whispering tongues.
+Manly as I go bravely,
+Let the roaring ever grow louder and louder,
+For me, unseen by others in the forest,
+Then will I cut into pieces that fearsome tiger.
+Just as I am killing the enemy,
+Celebrating the head in the local yard,
+On my head the hornbill's feather
+Magnificently I move here and there.
+You come and live in our ,:Darlung village,
+Sprawling in the centre is the chief's house,
+Sprawling in the centre is the chief's house,
+The sound of a gong reverberates ever
+Let's stop it, as enemy advances,
+But death comes like a flood, nothing stands against it,
+A traveller I would be and leave the place,
+I'd like to see the court where judgement is carried out.
+A big grand feast a richman performs
+Resounding joy and laughter in the village,
+Poor as we achieved fame on the day
+Echoing over the hills are the chants our hunting victory
+Singing for those who are laid on earth to return
+Waking no more but Hawilo par be dear,

+Again they refused the gong I gave,
+My precious sacred gong they demanded,
+Oh Chawngvungi, your price unsurpassed all

+Lord, Father and God to orphans and the needy
+Precious Blood
+Precious blood, precious blood,
+Upon the Cross it flows,
+Redeeming us from our sins.
+Guilts are cleansed
+The greatest sinners were washed awhite,
+By the precious blood of Calvary.
+Oh love-blood, precious blood,
+That shows our heav' nly gate !
+When it takes us to heav'n,
+A ceaseless song would be;
+Precious blood, blood, blood,blood, Oh, blood
+We'll go on singing without ceasing.
+Oh beautiful Mount Calvary,
+Though the world looks down on you,
+Much more than any of those hills,
+I'd like it best
+Joyous mount holiest of all holy places,
+There flows the precious blood of God.
+Wondrous Words
+Wondrous words which I can't express
+Is the story of Calvary,
+How the real So11 of God,
+Died for sinful man like me,
+Oh Calvary Mount
+I'll remember without ceasing.
+Heavenly angels, Oh you holy ones
+You are all great Seraphim,
+Serving God happily each day,
+Doing what he likes best,

+Can't you tell us all about it ?
+Oh my soul go to that mountain,
+Day and night you may go live there
+You'll see Lord on the Cross,
+You'll see Him there alive.
+Oh Calvary Mount,
+Will tell you all about it.
+Oh ! men of south, north, east and west
+All of you here bow down at His feet,
+All ye people of great and small,
+Praise Him all the time,
+Oh Calvary Mount,
+Here he suffered for us all.
+Then Vanzika Left Us
+Famous and loving Vanzika now left us,
+Weeping we mourn with his friends and relatives;
+Here he left us to his heavenly home abode,
+Dare not we hold him back, but look on as he passes.
+Should the passing year deface his beauty,
+Adventurous apostle of God in the north;
+The. land should never forget his name,
+Servant of God to lighten the dark comer.
+Fellow believers behold and look yonder.
+Heavenly trumpet resounds to welcome him;
+For the Lamb of Calv ary has suffered for him,
+His name be praised by all forever.
+Precious Words of God
+Lord. thy words are greatly precious.
+Much more than treasures of the world.
+Lord. thy word is most beautiful.
+Much more than wordly pleasures,
+Much sweeter than honey.
+It pleases my soul greatly.
+Just to pass the hare desert here.
+Let thine words. alone be our guide
+Would this be the shining cloud
+That the Israelites followed
+To lead us once again.
+Its light has been shinning on.
+In the vast whirling-sea of this world.
+We're living in doubt all day.
+Thy words lead us like star of peace.
+That will show us the heav'nly path.
+Then we will follow it on.
+And not be lost eternally.
+In the pool of great temptations.
+Let them be with us. the foe of the world
+Lord thou armed us with thine holy words.
+Be it the armour of our soul.
+We'll not fear Satan,
+O Bright Star of David
+O Bright star of David and of all his race
+In glory hast thou preordained me a place,
+The joy in my heart now expands like the sea,
+Some day, beyond Jordan, I'll magnify thee.
+To thee, 0 Redeemer, my song I'll raise
+Let all creation be filled with praise;
+Let every voice to thy glory sing,
+And every creature its anthem bring.
+Thy love did embrace me before I was made
+And before I was born my ransom was paid;
+When I ponder upon thy measureless grace,
+I wish that the world could resound with thy praise.
+Emmanuel, where is that heavenly place,
+Where I shall forever look upon thy face;
+I kneel and I pray now like Daniel of old,
+In sorrow I long for that city of gold.
+I am yearning to walk in the streets above,
+Of the city thou hast created in love;
+And dear ones clothed all in glorious' array,
+Whom long I have lost I shall see them that day

+King David and Leader Moses,
+The great stars of the earth were gone !
+Now Lord Christ and the Holy Spirit.
+Our High Priest and our Star.
+Before water and land came into existence
+You were already the unsearchable God,
+The sun, the moon and all the stars
+Possess their lights through you.
+Great authority and the highest honour,
+He is worthy to have;
+The lamb who was slain when the earth was fo rm ed
+May He save the world with His blood

+The wisdom of the world cannot contain.
+The manhood of the wise.
+Cannot comprehend you,
+My saviour, your profound secret.
+How deeper and how higher,
+Than the wisdom of the world;

+I Dare Not Lay My Armour By
+Surrounded by my foes am I,
+I dare not lay my armour by;
+The tempter tries with all his might
+To make me a traitor in His sight
+Emmanuel, each day and hour
+Arm me with thine own spirit's power.
+That is my strength. I may begin
+To storm the darlc: fort of sin.
+Lord. I am weak and battle-sore.
+Often disheartened by the war,
+But the thought of a victors crown.
+Forbids me to lay my armour down.
+On those whom thy blood did redeem.
+I pray thee shed thy mercy's beam;
+Locked in sin's dark fort here below-­
+Come; Lord thou cannot let them go.

+By Whoever puts His trust in Him,
+Everlasting life· can be won
+Most wonderful, a Counsellor
+His name is Prince of peace,
+Everlasting Father,
+True God is He, evermore the same.
+Truly do we call Him Wondrous,
+Rightly name Him Peaceful Prince;
+For He seeks to reconcile us,
+Longs to save us from our sins.
+Now, God's mercy like a river,
+Flows and swells through every place,
+And my heart is overflowing,
+With a new song to His praise
+He Gave His Life
+He suffered agonies,
+On Calvaiys distant bilL
+And through His death for sinners' sake
+Revealed His Father's will
+How pn:cious was the sacrifice;
+He made upon a cross on high.
+The Son of God laid down His life;
+For men condemned to die.
+Why should the Son divine

+A Sinless One Midst Sin
+As man among men He came to dwell.

+He lay there as a sleeping child
+In Bethlehem long ago.
+We'll raise our song and loudly sing His praise;
+And. through the Babe of Bethlehem.
+May peace on earth now reign.
+The Shepherds came; wise men sought Him.
+Before his poor cradle kneeling;
+Angelic songs resounded loud.
+A bright new star was shining !
+The cords of love are drawing me
+To go to where my Jesus lay.
+The star that shame can never set
+It shines on us today.
+Of God's true Son incarnate there
+What human tongue or skill can tell ?
+I'll love for evermore the One
+Who came down to earth to dwell.
+In this earthly life so dreary
+I am desolate and weary,
+But the Lamb is my Redeemer­
+Soon I'll be with Him forever.
+How my soul repeats the story,
+How I long to see His glory,
+In that free and lovely dwelling
+With His saints in joy.
+Though I am so poor and helpless,
+Glorious hopes support my weakness,
+And the wells of joy and gladness
+He has opened for my sadness.
+Thou Art My All in All
+Could I see, 0 my Redeemer,
+In Thine anguish, love so tender,
+I would find Thine all abundant
+Grace in every way sufficient.
+I am sinful and unworthy,
+Yet thy matchless love did find, me

+Where all nations dwell in union,
+Truly reconciled in Calvary,
+Through Thy great humiliation
+I obtained a rich possession.
+Saviour guide lead me onward
+To Thy land of love.
+Earthly pleasures fade and perish,
+Earthly joys and glories vanish
+For the glory of His presence.
+The yearning of my heart is intense
+Earthly joys no longer hold me
+There's a nobler theme to rouse me;
+Soon with songs that last forever To the Lamb I'll sing.
+With Joy We Shall Meet
+On high where Our Lord reigns there is brightness,
+Divine love ever new,
+Heavenly flowers all fragrant and unfading
+Giving pleasures that's true.
+With joy we shall meet in His presence,

+Nothing but joy can ever be known.
+Dark clouds often gather all around me
+Before life's sun grows dim,
+But earthly sorrows and joys will vanish,
+When I shall meet with Him.
+As I draw nearer to my heavenly · goal,
+The world fades from my sight
+Even now the flowers are spreading their fragrance
+From that land of delight.
+The face of the Saviour, wounded for me,
+I shall see enthroned then,
+He reigns, the redeemed shall sing His praises,
+Halleluijah, Amen.
+Nature Poems
+To the Wind
+0, Whither have you gone?
+Tell me, 0 Wind, whither have you gone?
+Howling wild in the dead of night,
+Neath the sensous glow of moonlight,
+You tossed and you teased our banyan tree;
+Could I but gaze and see
+Your face, 0 invisible one!
+Tell me, whither have you gone?
+The swaying trees, bamboos and weeds,
+In one accord bent down their heads,
+As if they're yeilding to follow,
+Wherever you chance to blow;
+Undeter'd where did you_go off?
+Are you scared of an unseen monster?
+Our Fair Mizo Hill
+Fair Mizo Hills, thou art like the fairest dream-land,
+O'er thy hills and dales reigneth abiding peace,
+Here flowers bloom, the sweet scent of joy blows in breeze,
+Tis of thee we sing, land of beauty; our Mizo land.
+Yes, sweet tis of thee our Mizo hills,

+People from every hill live in perfect harmony,
+Oh, beyond compare you are, our fair Mizo hills.
+I Jere in day of yore we dwelt in fear of spirits,

+The Orchid
+To Wild Cherry Tree
+Chirstmas comes to mark the Lord's birthday,
+1lai:za,wng begins to sprout and to bloom;
+Nursed by winter's light and night's clear dew,
+Every morn it blooms more prettily;
+1lai:za,wng flower, pretty as young maids face,
+I'll call you 'Fair Bloom' as your nickname;
+I wish you could keep blooming for ages,
+And be the famed non-fading flower.
+Come, see how it adorns our outskirt !
+Bees and butterflies in its boughs,
+Birds and other winged denizens,
+Swarm its boughs for yeast free juice,
+Keep on blooming, flower without peer,
+You are Creator's special creation !
+While the bright Sun is gone down the west
+Do the fairies haunt you for repose?
+Fair Bloom, too short is your sojourn,
+Tossing in the wind like a tassel;
+The moon above will renew itself,
+Fair Bloom will then wither and drop off;
+Oh, What a waste, just to fade and die,
+Rise again with renewal life to bloom,
+Oh, why does Khuanu create all other
+Beauties with form also merely to fade ?
+Lonely Cottage
+Our forlorn cottage facing the east,
+There stood afar ·'midst pine trees,
+Autumnal cicada sings sweetly in the air,
+Loneliness and an air of distress surround us.
+Suange is the cottage that stood aloof,
+The solitary, haunted, quiet site is ari institution,
+Such wonderful lessons were learnt by us
+Which the English School could never teach.
+Dear ones dared not enter the cottage,
+The boarders were not allowed to speak,
+Like a deserted place of one who died,
+Deep silence reigned here excluding all villagers.
+Creator's Perfect Plant
+Who rules over nations
+Over land and seas ?
+Who made heaven and earth
+Man and beasts alike ?
+Birds and insects, trees and plants,
+Green foliage and brilliant flowers;
+They are all his handiwork.
+The golden sun rising in the east,
+Ever follows its course in the sk y;
+Sets over on the western shore
+Brings spring and autumn bright.
+Shining moon in the nocturnal sky,
+Starry heaven for all to gaze.
+They are all His handiwork.
+Who can tell terms of money the worth
+Of the rain that falls within a few moments of time?
+All the wealth of nations
+Is far too small to pay for it.
+The sun, the wind and the wide, wide seas,
+Islands, mountain ranges, hills and valleys -
+They are all His handiwork.
+The flower of our youth and senility,
+Our time to be happy and time to cry;
+We share the same joys and sorrows.
+Both rich and poor.
+The blessing of heaven and earth
+Are showered on us equally.
+They are all His handiwork.
+In his providence he cares for all.
+Both the low and the privileged;
+. Whate'er our stations impartial the death
+It takes us back to the dust.
+Passing through the Stygian dark
+To the land of delight -
+They are all His handiwork.
+Our Beauteous Land
+On the hills of our beauteous land,
+Blossoms harmoniously sway and bend;
+Dancing to the tune of love with glee,
+While the gentle breeze keeps blowing free;
+Creatures sing their songs of praise galore,
+To the Creator Lord they so adore.
+Summer, autumn, winter and spring,
+The cycle of seasons for us all to sing -
+Songs of love in our fair-land so dear;
+Where the smiles and iaughters attune with cheers,
+Lovely flora and fauna abound.
+On the hills and down the vales around.
+Count the blessings from Heaven above,
+Showered down upon us with love
+Count the colours in the Rainbow fair -
+Crowning of the hills up high in the air;
+Keep on counting all other beauties,
+The gifts of our Lord, so bounteous !
+Though blessed children of the Lord we are,
+Lo ! we've gone astray from Him afar;
+Misbehaving on other creatures,
+It's against His Will what we do against nature
+Now we hear plaintive cries in the deep,
+Begging us for mercy while they weep!

+All sections tied together by East Wind.
+Lo, look there ! who are singing happily on one platform?
+The Purvaiya bonds together all in one.
+We have one voice and we have one foot.
+All tributaries are flowing in the same valley of Purvaiya,
+To join the ocean of the National Mainstream.

+Love Songs and Contemporary Poems
+Fairest Lover
+When I think pining for you is over,
+It lingers all the more day and night;
+Making me lonely you fled aflame,
+All I am languishing with love for you.
+The Departed Love
+The blossoming trees have drooped and wither' d,
+Reminding me of our union flown past;
+Oh, could I but recall those bygone days
+Fain would I hold you sweet in my arms
+The purple haze that adorned the hills,
+And the bright gleam of the sinking sun
+Awaken the bitter-sweet memory,
+Of the one I bade a sad farewell.
+True Love
+The long dark night is past !
+All the gloom and labour,
+Like a cloud of exhaust vapour
+Are cleared away at last !
+In the eastern region,
+Lo, the sun is rising;
+With it, joy comes creeping,
+From our heart's horizon.
+Are you sore distressed my friend ?
+Never bemoan your fate;
+To suffer now for true love's sake
+Is to be happy in the end.
+Chemtatrawta
+Upon a brook, a gurgling brook,
+Chemtatrawta sat on a stone,
+Honing his dao to make it sharp.
+Upon the stone he sat on.
+'What is that noise?" a young prawn cried,
+As of someone honing a dao?
+Upon my nerves, surely, it grates,
+And set my nippers· on edge."
+From his hiding the prawn espied,
+A leather bag (What a bag!),
+Skimming the water as it swung
+Pendulum-like, to and fro
+Nearer it came - the prawn I mean,
+Towards the bag (Oh! What a bag!),
+The young prawn smiled and then withdrew,
+Came again much nearer now.
+The bag still swung pendulum-like,
+Skimmed the water, swallow-like;
+The young prawn stalked it stealthily,
+Prime its nippers for the nip
+Alack a-day! Alack! I say,
+For the poor, ill-fated bag!
+The nippers clicked, the bag jumped up
+With the man who honed his dao.
+As might a boy his teacher scolds
+Vent his anger on his book,
+So did that man Chemtatrawta
+Vent his rage on a bamboo!
+As might a boy his teacher scolds
+Vent his anger on his book,
+So did that man Chemtatrawta
+Vent his rage on a bamboo!
+Vented his fury and cut down
+The harmless, blameless bamboo,
+Lovingly entwined and festooned
+By a fond, loving kha-um.
+As did that man Chemtatrawta,
+Vent his rage on the bamboo,
+So did the kha-um vent his rage
+Upon a wild fowl below.
+The kha-um hit the poor wild fowl
+A sound blow on its coccyx;
+The wild fowl, made wilder by this,
+Scratched asunder an ants' nest.
+The furious ant, blind with fury,
+Sought for victims far and wide,
+Chancing upon a sleeping boar,
+Bit its exposed testicles.
+The sleeping boar thus roused from sleep,
+Seethed and boiled with furious rage,
+Gored down with its tusks a plantain tree
+Where a bat had its lodging.
+The blind bat blubbered bitterly,
+Flew about in blind fury,
+And met by chance an elephant
+In whose nose it found refuige.
+The elephant was none too pleased,
+To lodge a bat in its nose;
+Sneezing, sniffing and trumpeting
+It knocked down a widow's house.
+The poor widow, now homeless,
+Boiling with impotent rage,
+(As you would all, in her place)
+Dirtied the spring waterhole.
+The chain of events had now come
+To the point where village folks
+Could not ignore the consequence
+Cause of what the widow did.
+And so the village council met,
+(The sixteenth August being past)
+The poor widow was first summoned
+Before that august council
+Why did you, they asked the widow,
+Defecate above the spring?
+Why because, she promptly answered,
+The elephant knocked down my house.
+The elephant was then summoned,
+It sneezed, sniffed and stamped about;
+For what it did to the widow,
+If said, the bat was all to blame.
+The blinking bat was next brought in;
+It told them how the cruel boar
+Had felled the the plaintain where it lodged
+And deprived it of its home.
+The outraged wild boar then came in,
+And grunted in a hurt tone
+Had the ant stung your testicles You'd all have done what I did!
+The nestless ant was then brought in,
+And in a shrill voice it cried,
+Had the wild fowl destroyed your nest You'd have been no· less furious!
+The wild fowl next came strutting in,
+In a loud, cackling voice said,
+Had a kha-um hit your coccyx You'd destroy any ants' nest!
+Still bruised and sore, the kha-um came,
+I ask you, dear sirs, it said,
+Whose fault was it that I fell down When Tatrawta felled my bamboo?
+Chemtatrawta was next summoned
+To explain why he had felled
+The bamboo that stood by the brook
+That the kha-um had so loved.
+He hemmed and hawed, Chemtatrawta,
+Dear sirs! he said, "if a prawn
+Had nipped your testicles would you
+Have cared which bamboo you felled?"
+The council was shocked to hear this­
+For man's honour was at stake-
+Send for the prawn quickly, they said,
+'We'll, cure its audacity."
+The prawn came in, pale and frightened,
+Promptly it dropped on its knees,
+Pardon me, sirs, pardon, it cried,
+I'll never do it again.
+For the moral of this story
+We shall tell you just this one;
+Do not meddle, do not meddle
+With a swinging, swinging bag!
+Where is the Truth ?
+The heaven in its glories,
+The earth clothed in beauty
+Adorned with wealth untold;
+Lo! the wide wide seas where Leviathan plays,
+The Deep where the precious pearl unfolds,
+All creatures and lands and seas· ,
+Birds of the air with woods and bamboos ,
+Morning dews and scattering mist -
+Truth ? Not there.
+Wealth from the womb of the earth,
+Gold and diamond galore
+Are but shadow of the Creator's heart.·
+Among myriads of races
+Of creeds and faiths under the vaulted sky;
+Men of great strength, valour and brave watriors,
+Belles beautiful, sweet scented flowers , ·
+Skilled handiwork, perfect in form, with deadly arms,
+Are but to perish and be no more.
+I look everywhere
+I listen constantly,
+I utter words after words
+From one end of the earth
+To the other and I roam pondering,
+To see Truth, I run helterskelter ;
+To pleasure houses and public squares,
+Drunken brawls and noisy crowds
+They are nothing but slothful arrogance.
+In market fairs well oiled greedy fac1;•s,
+Vied ·endlessly with profiteers.
+Houses of learnings ! producers of swollen brutes,
+The wisdom and knowledge they profess
+Are nothing but empty fraud.
+Selfish seekers of positions.
+Oh ! Failures, but wise double-edged tongues
+Seekers of pleasures in their prime,
+Wiles of youth - these are but van;ty.
+Honourable Justices, in their dignifed robes
+Sitting on the throne of authority,
+Wearing a crown of oppression and injustice
+With golden maces in their hands they rule supreme.
+In their temples the preacher repeats.
+Nothing but words and words;
+Worshippers of idle thougths and fancy.
+The rich are unsatisfied with their wealth.
+Bereaved homes resound with wailing and self pity.
+The wide open heaven, the sun the moon,
+Countless stars are empty;
+Like me the dwellers of this continent
+Are without hope-waiting for the end to come,
+I cry aloud with no avail.
+When I keep quiet, foolish me !
+Behold my merriment recedes too soon,
+Others dance and shout with joy :
+They mistake what they see for Truth .
+When I come to my senses
+I learn God is the Truth,
+I sit I stand, then I sit down,
+In joy I leap and bounce;
+I shut my eyes and ears to the world,
+I have seen, and now I know.
+The Eternal, the Everlasting,
+The Creator without creator, the Former with no former.
+The immortal. He only is the Truth.
+Oh! Delhi
+While nations poised for spoils,
+Plan destruction for imagined wrongs;
+Count their armies and cannons,
+Might is right' said they.
+But you, 0 ! Delhi, city of peace;
+Sits serene undisposed to aggression;
+Messenger of peace to all nations,
+With your watch-word-' peace on Earth'.
+The great Moghuls of old did rule supreme,
+· Built the Red Fort strong and secure;
+Under foreign domination lasting,
+Her glories passed - we mourn.
+Your sages now roam your streets in peace,
+The peaceful Jawans match in colourful arrays;
+Men of all tribes within your borders,
+With happy music procession joined.
+Mizo, Naga, Garo and Khasi from the east,
+Down to wave-tossed boulders of Kumari on the South
+From the Gate of India on the west,
+To the snowy mountains on the north.
+With one accord we march together,
+We drink your nectar, Oh, how sweet !
+Should your enemies attack you,
+We shall sing a victory song under your flag.
+0 Delhi, where mercy seat is ensconed,
+Your sceptre with flowers of love entwined;·
+Men of all faiths within your soil
+Are joined together in the mainstream of Nation.
+Bonded by all embracing statue,
+When hostile forces threatended you;
+With a smiling face she countered,
+They dropped their guns in shame.
+0 ! Delhi, send forth your sceptre of love,
+To all men of parliament;
+Your peaceful hands are extended,
+With olive branches for all to share.
+Like dew may your healing love fall on all Nations,
+Let the wind of peace blow over land and seas;
+With lips of love kiss away the hates of enemies,
+May struggling nations find their peace through you.
+A Soldier's Prayer
+Browned off and feeling ill at ease
+And far from home and comforts here
+When nothing suits, nothing can please,
+I close my eyes and say a prayer.
+I pray for peace and home and you,
+Rest from this savage world of war;
+Pray for a life we'd live we two,
+When we our joys and sorrows share.
+Pray for a home with one I love ,
+A girl who's now waiting for me;
+Yet as I pray, planes fly above,
+Death in the air, on land, on sea.
+In this mad world it seems my prayer
+Is hopeless and so far away;
+As war drag on from year to year,
+And nights of horror crowd each day.
+The day will come; it's sure to come
+We must wait patiently and strong -
+To face with courage, planes and bomb,
+To fight the 1 war and right a wrong.
+And then peace comes here once more,
+When guns are silent, man is free;
+When ships shall sail on India's shore,
+When wars are done, and life's born anew.
+Then I'll come back to you, my cleat,
+With you I'll stay, and never roam·
+The war has taught me all too clear,
+That there's no place like home, sweet home.
+Spirit of Night
+What makes the night so hungry-
+Hungry for all unwanted things of light !
+Light becomes dim at night, May be-
+Be in a certain corner, in a corner so special, yet unmarked
+Unmarked spot of the' day, ah !
+Ah ! where night's agent starts groping -
+Groping in the dark.
+What makes the night so angry,
+Angry night ! to do and to react­
+Reaction which is so bitter,
+Bitter for someone to receive the gift !
+Gift of the night, to a particular prey,
+Prey of the unforeseen, suppressed temper !
+Temper of the most common type.
+What makes the night so loving,
+Loving ? 'Cause it brings along - charms !
+Charms, by the light of the moon,
+Moon hangs upon the cheek of innocent,
+Innocence ! For it leads to experience.
+Experience, for night has a thousand eyes,
+Eyes ! Sparkling, so acquainting with the night.
+What makes the night so boring ?
+Boring for someone who feels deserted;
+Deserted ! Yes, from the night's meaner beauties,
+Beauties ! shades of the night are falling,
+Falling over the face of starved lips !
+Lips, which do nothing, but to bite,
+Biting from the back, mumble and stare.
+Then I ask of you, beloved spirit of night !
+What makes me ask of those,
+Oh, tell me in ·a softer manner,
+Spirit of Delight and Sorrow .... tell me.
+Oh ! Spirit of tht: Night,
+Thou weave dreams of joy and fear,
+Which make you so Terrible and so DEAR !
+To Mother Teresa
+Mother of the poor, wretched and dying people,
+The world needs your valuable service and comfort.
+You have brightened all the dark corners,
+You have brightened the hearts of people.
+Your smile, love, compassion, care and messages,
+Will live on until the end of our lives.
+You· are the real salt of the earth for Christ,
+Messenger of peace, Well done on earth, Sweet Mother.
+To the Day
+Now here's the day !
+A time when everything is clear,
+Cause things are there as th ey should
+Light being an instrument of the day.
+Each new day brings hope,
+Hope for a better living,
+Life on earth is but based on dreams,
+Day-dreaming is what one can't avoid consciously
+Or unconsciously, one is dreaming for one's betterment.
+Life is but hope for a better future
+Enjoyment being the last resort,
+And careless life will be followed by remorse,
+Remorse for what ones has done.
+Oh! New day!
+What things, good things are coming along with you,
+Riches, pleasure and dignity are calls for today
+For we are all running mad after money-
+Money buys, Yes, it buys simply .... no more
+Can't you make a sudden flight to greatness
+Cause greatness pays !
+If you can bring such greatness, mon ey will welcome you
+Or you'll come with honesty, righteousness, innocence
+And with a humble heart with dignity, but
+Not finding any shelter to take rest -
+Such things never find a suitable abode.
+Oh ! Heart, heart !
+Ah ! my soul knows
+The future triumph of Virtue over vice in the end,
+But, now we are like this, seeing like this .....
+We are here as we are, in front of the stage,
+Staring clearly at the wonderful events of the day,
+For our own eyes can see in the light
+Deceitful : 1983
+Deceitful is the physical appearance,
+Your first reading of the character
+May not come true to your surprise,
+It may be different still,
+Again in your third assessment;
+Better watch and think,
+Crown no fame to a wrong head.
+Deceitful is the sudden passionate love,
+Get not the very first love alone;
+Rather a renewed love is passionate,
+Sweet are the usual persuer's claims,
+Examine the nature of expression,
+Smooth is the path of a loaded mind,
+Cause experience makes a man smart.
+Deceitful is the honey mouth,
+Slip not to the tip of the tongue;
+Easily won - easily go confound
+Readymade love - a fearsome pit;
+Plunge not in the pool of crocodile's tears,
+Remember that real Beauty is Truth,
+Wise is the man who knows the Perfect Beauty.
+Come Closer :' 1981
+Dear friends of mine, come, come closer,
+Come, let's walk side by side;
+Learing and playing together,
+Facing and tackling our problems,
+Having definite aim in life.
+Together toiling for our dreams,
+Fighting it on without stopping;
+To achieve what we longed for,
+For today is a very special day,
+So, let us be firm and happy.
+true and just to all,
+open and sociable;
+Let us be frank and meaningful,
+Let us be brave to fight. worldly evil foes,
+Let us be strong and firm in our righteous stand.
+Our Last Rendezvous
