MAKE GOD YOUR BELOVED

 No one is immune to loss of a loved one in life .These times are so tragic and tough that one looses balance for some time. The hardest part is acknowledging you will never see  them again ,the pain keeps coming back again and again . भुलाने की कोशिश करना भी है एक बहाना है याद करने का ( trying to forget is a way of remembering ) By locking oneself away from the world, one chooses to destroy any chance of ever finding happiness.Fate is not our enemy, We are. We cannot control life, but  we can choose what to make of it. " Look inside yourself everything you want is inside you " Surrender to HIM accept happily what you still have ,what he has blessed you with and see the difference .Identify our hidden potentials ,skills and hobbies and hone them to fill your life and life of others with joy .Life is too precious to live in remorse and pain.Make God your beloved ,for the truth is that love is the ultimate  which man aspires for in life to get and to give .So cherish this gift of life and live with love and devotion , discharging responsibilities and spreading smiles .Life will become beautiful once again .I share my thoughts in my hindi poem with an English version of the same .

 मेरे प्यारे परमात्मा 

ज़िन्दगी  के मोड़ पर 
जब हमसफ़र छूट जाते हैं 
आँखों के आँसू  
जब बह बह के सूख जाते हैं 
साँस चलती रहती है पर 
दडकन थम सी जाती है 
सूनी सूनी राहों पर 
दम जब घुटने लगता है
दूर दूर तक जब 
कुछ नज़र आता नहीं 
एहसास  ऐसा होता है जैसे 
ज़िन्दगी रूठ सी गई 
तब ज़िन्दगी ख़ुद अपने 
आग़ोश में ले लेती है 
सहलाती है समझाती है
जीने की राह दिखाती है 
अकेले अाए थे तुम यहाँ 
अकेले ही तुम जाओगे 
तेरा असली प्यारा हमसफ़र 
तेरे दिल में बसा हैै पहले से 
उसे तुम पहचान लो 
अपने अंतरआत्मा को जान लो 
अंदर छुपे परमात्मा को जान लो 
वो सदा तुम्हारे साथ है 
हर ज़िन्दगी  के सैलाब में 
वो ही नैया पार लगाएँगे 
अपने आप को उनपर करदे तू फ़ना 
ज़िन्दगी  बनी रहेगी सदा ख़ुशनुमा 
शुक्राने  और इबादत के गीत गाते रहना सदा 
ज़िन्दगी फिर से मुस्कुराने लग जाएगी 
प्यार के गैहिर्रे समुनदर में सुकून पाएगी !

MAKE GOD YOUR BELOVED 

On the path of life there comes a turn 
when you loose your loved one 
your heart and eyes just cry and cry 
till  they are wrenched absolutely dry 
you continue to breathe 
but your heart beat bequeathes 
lost and  lonely on life's path 
feeling strangled seething with wrath 
loosing life's meaning and your sight 
you imagine life sulking at your plight 
its  then  that life  just hugs you tight ,
soothes your wounds 
endears you not to fight 
but to flow  embracing the tide 
you came here alone
you will go back alone  
but you seem to forget 
your true beloved mate 
resides in your heart 
never  ever to part 
your pure soul sublime 
God is within you all the time 
in this tsunami of life 
just surrender ,let God drive 
silence your storm of thoughts 
have faith and trust in him 
he will open all your knots 
for his love will never die 
love him with gratitude 
you will then overcome 
your bitter attitude,
for he is your true soulmate 
never  will he abandon you 
what ever be your fate 
Listen to his loving voice within 
you will start loving life again 
Spread smiles love and laughter 
life will  become beautiful thereafter :) 

Dedicated to a loving friend who has just passed through a troubled phase in life
