चींटी -त्रिलोक सिंह ठकुरेला

नन्हीं काली, हिम्मतवाली,
चींटी बड़ी निराली है ।
दौड़ लगाती, कभी न थकती,
वह कितनी बलशाली है ।।

बहुत अधिक मेहनत करती है,
लेकिन थोड़ा खाती है।
जब उसको गुस्सा आता है
हाथी से लड़ जाती है ।।

जल्दी जगती रोज सवेरे,
देर रात को सोती ।
खुद से अधिक भार ले जाती
बड़ी साहसी होती ।।

चींटी कहती - प्यारे बच्चो,
मिलकर कदम बढ़ाओ ।
मेहनत करो, न हिम्मत हारो,
जो चाहो वह पाओ।।

आओ मिलकर दीप जलाएँ -त्रिलोक सिंह ठकुरेला

आओ, मिलकर दीप जलाएँ।
अंधकार को दूर भगाएँ ।।

नन्हे नन्हे दीप हमारे
क्या सूरज से कुछ कम होंगे,
सारी अड़चन मिट जायेंगी
एक साथ जब हम सब होंगे,

आओ, साहस से भर जाएँ।
आओ, मिलकर दीप जलाएँ।

हमसे कभी नहीं जीतेगी
अंधकार की काली सत्ता,
यदि हम सभी ठान लें मन में
हम ही जीतेंगे अलबत्ता,

चलो, जीत के पर्व मनाएँ ।
आओ, मिलकर दीप जलाएँ ।।

कुछ भी कठिन नहीं होता है
यदि प्रयास हो सच्चे अपने,
जिसने किया, उसी ने पाया,
सच हो जाते सारे सपने,
फिर फिर सुन्दर स्वप्न सजाएँ ।
आओ, मिलकर दीप जलाएँ ।।

-त्रिलोक सिंह ठकुरेला

Magic Door -Amy

Once upon a time there was a little boy named Kulli.

He ate his breakfast and went to play with his friends. When he came back home he saw a door.

He wondered: "What is behind the door?."
He opened the door and he saw a bathroom. He closed the door and thought that this is a bathroom.
Then he simply said "Circus" and he heard some sound behind the door. When he opened the door he saw a Circus! He was amazed.

Then he ate his lunch and went to play again.

When he came back home, he opened the door again. This time he saw a Bedroom! He wondered: "What is happening with me?".
Then again he said "Circus" and opened the door and saw a Circus!
He understood, then, that he got what he wanted behind the door just by saying it.

He was so happy that he danced the whole day long.

नानी तेरी मोरनी को मोर ले गए -शैलेन्द्र

नानी तेरी मोरनी को मोर ले गए
बाकी जो बचा था काले चोर ले गए

नानी तेरी मोरनी को मोर ले गए
बाकी जो बचा था काले चोर ले गए

खाके पीके मोटे होके, चोर बैठे रेल में
चोरों वाला डिब्बा कट कर, पहुँचा सीधे जेल में

खाके पीके मोटे होके, चोर बैठे रेल में
चोरों वाला डिब्बा कट कर, पहुँचा सीधे जेल में

नानी तेरी मोरनी को मोर ले गए
बाकी जो बचा था काले चोर ले गए

उन चोरों की ख़ूब ख़बर ली, मोटे थानेदार ने
मोरों को भी खूब नचाया, जंगल की सरकार ने

उन चोरों की ख़ूब ख़बर ली, मोटे थानेदार ने
मोरों को भी खूब नचाया, जंगल की सरकार ने

नानी तेरी मोरनी को मोर ले गए
बाकी जो बचा था काले चोर ले गए

अच्छी नानी प्यारी नानी, रूसा-रूसी छोड़ दे
जल्दी से एक पैसा दे दे, तू कंजूसी छोड़ दे

अच्छी नानी प्यारी नानी, रूसा-रूसी छोड़ दे
जल्दी से एक पैसा दे दे, तू कंजूसी छोड़ दे

नानी तेरी मोरनी को मोर ले गए
बाकी जो बचा था काले चोर ले गए

पापा - मुझे पतंग दिला दो -त्रिलोक सिंह ठकुरेला

पापा - मुझे पतंग दिला दो,
भैया रोज उड़ाते हैं।
मुझे नहीं छूने देते हैं,
दिखला जीभ, चिढ़ाते हैं॥

एक नहीं लेने वाली मैं,
मुझको कई दिलाना जी।
छोटी सी चकरी दिलवाना,
मांझा बड़ा दिलाना जी॥

नारंगी और नीली, पीली
हरी, बैंगनी,भूरी,काली।
कई रंग,आकार कई हों,
भारत के नक्शे वाली ॥

कट जायेंगी कई पतंगे,
जब मेरी लहरायेगी।
चंदा मामा तक जा करके
भारत­-ध्वज फहरायेगी॥

The Unkind Soul-Dragger -Janaab

The Soul Dragger

for all ye there

unkind

in what you do
in what you eat
in what you say

there is a fiery rope
to drag your soul
on the road to hell

scream or moan
with a fish hook
through your lips
and nose

you shall bear
the pain of all ye killed
or culled
for taste, fun or gain

your pleas
or bending knees
shall not be heard
or seen
for there are no ears
or eyes
of the
soul-dragger.

तुझे सूरज कहूं या चंदा -प्रेम धवन

तुझे सूरज कहूं या चंदा
तुझे दीप कहूं या तारा
मेरा नाम करेगा रौशन
जग में मेरा राज दुलारा

मेरा घर था खाली खाली
छाई थी अजब उदासी
जीवन था सूना सूना
हर आस थी प्यासी प्यासी
तेरे आते ही खुशियों से
भार गया है जीवन सारा
मेरा नाम करेगा रौशन
जग में मेरा राज दुलारा

मैं कब से तरस रहा था
मेरे आँगन में कोई खेले
नन्ही सी हँसी के बदले
मेरी सारी दुनिया ले ले
तेरे संग झूल रहा है
मेरी बाहों में जग सारा
मेरा नाम करेगा रौशन
जग में मेरा राज दुलारा

आज उँगली थाम के तेरी
तुझे मैं चलना सिखलाऊँ
कल हाथ पकड़ना मेरा
जब मैं बूढ़ा हो जाऊँ
तू मिला तो मैं ने पाया
जीने का नया सहारा
मेरा नाम करेगा रौशन
जग में मेरा राज दुलारा

मेरे बाद भी इस दुनिया में
ज़िंदा मेरा नाम रहेगा
जो भी तुझ को देखेगा
तुझे मेरा लाल कहेगा
तेरे रूप में मिल जायेगा
मुझ को जीवन दोबारा
मेरा नाम करेगा रौशन
जग में मेरा राज दुलारा

गौरैय्या -त्रिलोक सिंह ठकुरेला

गौरैय्या

घर में आई गौरैय्या ।
झूम उठा छोटा भैया ।।

गौरैय्या भी झूम गयी ।
सारे घर में घूम गयी ।।

फिर मुंडेर पर जा बैठी ।
फिर आंगन में आ बैठी ।।

कितनी प्यारी वह सचमुच ।
खोज रही थी शायद कुछ ।।

गौरैय्या ने गीत सुनाया ।
भैया दाना लेकर आया ।।

दाना रखा कटोरे में ।
पानी रखा सकोरे में ।।

फुर्र उड़ी वह ले दाना ।
सबने मन में सुख माना ।।

My Rainbow Dance -Amy

Sun King Sun King,
Please come to
make my mother warm.
When my mother asks me,
"What are you doing?"
Then I will say,
"I - am making you warm."

When my mother is warm,
I will call the cloud to
make my mother cool.
When my mother asks me,
"What are you doing?"
Then I will say,
"I - am making you cool."

When my mother is cool,
I will call the rainbow.
When the rainbow comes,
we will both dance together!

ದೀಪಾವಳಿ -Prabhakar Hegde

ಬದುಕು ಬೆಳಗಲಿ
ಸಾಲು ದೀಪಗಳ ಬೆಳಕಿನಲಿ
ನಡೆಯುವೆನು ನನಗದೇ
ದೀಪಾವಳಿ

ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆಗೆ ಇರಲಿ
ಹೊಳೆವ ಹಣತೆಯ ಬೆಳಕು
ದಾರಿಯುದ್ದಕು ನಡೆವ
ದೂರದಲ್ಲಿ

ಇರಳು ಆಗಸದಲ್ಲಿ
ಇರಲಿ ತಾರೆಯ ಬೆಳಕು
ಹಣತೆ ಮಿನುಗಲಿ ಇಲ್ಲಿ
ನೆಲದೆದೆಯಲಿ

ಬಾನ ಬೆಳಕಿಲ್ಲಿ
ಮುತ್ತಿಡಲಿ ಹಣತೆಯನು
ಹಣತೆ ಮಿನುಗುತಿರಲಿ
ನೀರವದಲಿ

ಇರಲಿ ದೀಪಾವಳಿಯು
ನಿತ್ಯವೂ ನಮಗಿಲ್ಲಿ
ನೆಲಬಾನ ಸಿರಿಬೆಳಕ
ಸ೦ಗದಲ್ಲಿ !

How to marry the Queen? -Harekrishna

The universe is awesome
but no one gazes up.
The human body is awesome
but all say yuck!

Mathematics is the queen of all sciences
no one dare touch the queen!
God is great, yes,
but no one follows as His being.

There are so many fruits on a tree
all are yet unripe to eat.
But once they sweeten, ripen and fall,
them, we dont eat!

We talk of hunger,
work ourselves to death
for money,
to buy.
But do not plant a fruit tree,
nor even a plant.
We even waste
what God put in our plate!

Action not in due time
causes all the trouble
that man bears,
cursing God himself.
But all that man needs to do,
is to act when there is still time.

ಗಿಡ್ಡನ ಗಡ್ಡದ ಕಥೆ -Prabhakar Hegde

ಹಿ೦ದೆ ಒ೦ದು ಊರಿನಲ್ಲಿ
ಒಬ್ಬ ಗಿಡ್ಡನಿದ್ದನು
ಅಲ್ಲ ಅವನು ಬುದ್ಧಿವ೦ತ
ದಡ್ದ ಕೂಡ ಅಲ್ಲವು
ಕೇಳಿ
ಅವನ ಊರ ಜನರು
ಹೇಳಿದ೦ತ ಕಥೆಯನು

ಗಿಡ್ಡನ ಗಡ್ಡದ ಕಥೆ

ಗಿಡ್ಡನ ಗಡ್ಡ
ಉದ್ದಕೆ ಬೆಳೆಯಿತು
ಕುತ್ತಿಗೆದಾಟಿ
ಎದೆವರೆಗೆ

ಊರವರೆಲ್ಲ
ಗಡ್ಡದ ಗಿಡ್ಡ
ಎ೦ದೇ ಕರೆಯಲು
ಗಿಡ್ಡನಿಗಾಯಿತು ಬೇಜಾರು
'' ಕತ್ತರಿ ಬೇಡ, ಬ್ಲೇಡೂ ಬೇಡ
ಸುಲಭದಿ ತೆಗೆಯುವೆ ಗಡ್ದವನು ''
ಎನ್ನುತ ಗಿಡ್ದನು
ಉರಿಯುವ ಮೇಣದ ಬತ್ತಿಯ
ತ೦ದನು ಖುಷಿಯಲ್ಲಿ

ಗಡ್ಡದ ಕೂದಲ
ಕೈಯಲಿ ಹಿಡಿದು
ಉರಿಯನು ಇಟ್ಟನು ಗಡ್ಡಕ್ಕೆ
ಗಡ್ಡವ ಸುಟ್ಟಿತು
ಬುರು ಬುರು ಬೆ೦ಕಿಯು
ಬೆದರಿದ ಗಿಡ್ಡನು
ಕೈಬಿಟ್ಟ
ಗಡ್ಡಕೆ ಹತ್ತಿದ ಬೆ೦ಕಿಯು
ಸುಟ್ಟಿತು
ಗಡ್ಡದ ಕೂದಲು
ಮುಖ ಮೋರೆ

ಊರವರೆಲ್ಲ ನಕ್ಕರು ಅ೦ದರು
'' ಗಡ್ಡದ ಗಿಡ್ಡ ಬ೦ದ
ಗಡ್ಡ ಈಗ ಚ೦ದ ! ''
