Truth and love

प्रेम छुपा नहीं सकते हो
वो आंखों से झलक जाता है
कदमों मैं दिख जाता है
वाणी मैं पुकारता है
होठों पे मुस्कराहट बनता  है

हर पल तड़पता है
खुद को व्यक्त करने को
असंभव को संभव करने मैं
सदियों से इंसान
प्रेम की अभिव्यक्ति मैं
कितने जीवन बिता चूका है
लेकिन जो अस्तित्व है
उसको अभिव्यक्त नहीं कर पाया है

खासकर महिलायें
जो जियों जान से
अपने परिवार की सेवा करती हैं
फिर परेशान रहतीं हैं
कि कोई उन्हें प्यार नहीं करता
न बेटा , न बेटी , न पति , न बहु
इस दर्द मैं जीवन गुजार देतीं हैं
उस प्यार की अभिव्यति ढूँढती हैं
जो संसार मैं इंसान से
आधी अधूरी ही हो पाती है

ऐसा ही कुछ सत्य का हाल है
जो सच है वोह चुप नहीं सकता
और उसे जानता है वोह उसका
सम्पूर्ण अभिव्यक्त नहीं कर सकता

इसलिए कुछ मान के चलो
कुछ जान के चलो
सबको गले लगाते चलो

Truth cannot be hidden
neither can it be expressed

Same with love
It just shows
in the glistening eyes of beholder
from the spring in his walk
in the sweetness of his talk
in his ever broadening smiles
for no reason
there is glow in his presence

Since ancient times
men have tried to express love
none have succeeded so far
none will ever be

Unexpressed love is frustration
especially for ladies
who sacrifice their lives
serving and fulfilling the
lives of people around them
their children, spouse, parents, neighbors
they need not worry

for its difficult to experience love
and the ones who do
its difficult to express love
with your limited means
for its your very existence
its your truth

Therefore , wisdom is to know that
few things can be known in life
few things can be on faith
people say earth rotates round  sun
have you see it?
They also say men have been on moon
you have only seen few pictures
same way some people
show pictures of krishna
you cannot go in time and see
but in meditation you will know it
that truth is god and god is love
