Goodbye … (from a good boy)

I went to a party Mom,
I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom,
So I drank soda instead.

I really felt proud inside, Mom,
The way you said I would.
I didn’t drink and drive, Mom,
Even though the others said I should.

I know I did the right thing, Mom,
I know you are always right.
Now the party is finally ending, Mom,
As everyone is driving out of sight.

As I got into my car, Mom,
I knew I’d get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me,
So responsible and sweet..

I started to drive away, Mom,
But as I pulled out into the road,
The other car didn’t see me, Mom,
And hit me like a load.

As I lay there on the pavement, Mom,
I hear the policeman say,
“The other guy is drunk,” Mom,
And now I’m the one who will pay.

I’m lying here dying, Mom….
I wish you’d get here soon.
How could this happen to me, Mom?
My life just burst like a balloon..

There is blood all around me, Mom,
And most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say, Mom,
I’ll die in a short time.

I just wanted to tell you, Mom,
I swear I didn’t drink.
It was the others, Mom.
The others didn’t think.

He was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is, he drank
And I will die.

Why do people drink, Mom?
It can ruin your whole life.
I’m feeling sharp pains now.
Pains just like a knife.

The guy who hit me is walking, Mom,
And I don’t think it’s fair.
I’m lying here dying
And all he can do is stare.

Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.
Tell Daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven, Mom,
Put “GOOD BOY ” on my grave.

Someone should have told him, Mom,
Not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him, Mom,
I would still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, Mom.
I’m becoming very scared.
Please don’t cry for me, Mom.
When I needed you, you were always there.

I have one last question, Mom.
Before I say good bye.
I didn’t drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?

FARQ SIRF ITNA SA THA

(Unknown)

FARQ SIRF ITNA SA THA
Teri doli uthi,
Meri mayyat uthi,
Phool tujh par bhi barse,
Phool mujh par bhi barse,

FARQ SIRF ITNA SA THA
Tu saj gayi,
Mujhe sajaya gaya .
Tu bhi ghar ko chali,
Main bi ghar ko chala,

FARQ SIRF ITNA SA THA
Tu uth ke gayi,
Mujhe uthaya gaya .
Mehfil wahan bhi thi,
Log yahan bhi the,

FARQ SIRF ITNA SA THA
Unka hasna wahan,
Inka rona yahan.
Qazi udhar bhi tha, Molvi idhar bhi tha,
Do bol tere pade, Do bol mere pade,
Tera nikah pada, Mera janaaza pada,

FARQ SIRF ITNA SA THA
Tujhe apnaya gaya,
Mujhe dafnaya gaya.
FARQ SIRF ITNA SA THA

Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
there will always be sunshine,
after the rain ….

Perhaps you may stumble,
perhaps even fall,
But God’s always ready,
To answer your call …

He knows every heartache,
sees every tear,
A word from His lips,
can calm every fear …

Your sorrows may linger,
throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish,
in dawn’s early light …

The Savior is waiting,
somewhere above,
To give you His grace,
and send you His love…

Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
“God always sends rainbows ….
after the rain … “

Bir Purush (Modern version)

A Tribute to Ghetu’r Ma

Priye praneshwari…

Tomar khure pranam kori.. 

Ami tumi ar tumi ami ek-i,

Tomate amije nijekei dekhi…

Tumi sukhe acho tai ami sukhi..

Tomar dukkhe ami hoi dukhi. 

Sundari bole koro abhiman…

Bandori hole banchto e pran…

Tension e life rakho tan tan..‘

Bhalo achi’ sunle koro aanchan.. 

Kamar noy, chutor tumi je,

Tuk tuk koro, bhabo miche nije…

Bojhabe ke? Matha khabe veje..

Michi michi kando, nacho sang seje. 

Ki bhebe amar din mati koro?

Bor hoi ami, sahos to boro?

Choto choto katha, sobtai dhoro?

Tumi mathamota, jhogrute boro. 

Boyos tomar koto holo jani,

Bap – ma tomar khelo matha khani…

‘Sonar tukro meye’r kahini..

Hit kore gache, fail hoyni. 

But….. I really really miss you……. 

I miss the sparkle in your eyes

Your loving stare, your gentle smile,
Your tender lips caressing mine,
When we were lovers chasing time.

I miss the way you’d held me close,
Of your drugs I’m overdosed,
Your drugs of love, I suppose,
I guess that’s just the way it goes.

You bring so much of happiness;
You are a mother by God’s grace,

I miss you; miss your divine face,

I love you all, Oh yes yes YES !!!
