A very new day dawns at your feet
Awakening those whom you've to defeat
It is fresh, maiden and lacks its fate
It will accept whatever your hands will create
...

You turned 39 today
Later 40 and so on
No matter how bad is your way
Only you deserves the crown
...

Look up in the east, not up so high
Where endless oceans bleed into the sky
It's the rising sun, spilling its serene rays
Born for the earth, enlightening all its ways
...

Seems like it is my last day,
Seems I'm burning in thousand suns;
Seems like someone closed all the way,
And I've no medicine for my paining burns.
...

Up the face of the earth, far closer to the sky
I landed on my feet with my eyes held high
My sight above is clear, No one's there in to hinder
Nor the sense of the cold above the fog of this winter
...

Like those free birds, you will leap on, so high
With endless efforts, one day you'll claim the sky
You hover above me, I'm the dust of the ground
I'll watch you, fly on
...

As I crawl myself through the shady heath
There's a keen quiver in my dusky breath
I look aside to what the trees reveal
My eyes don't see what the soul can feel
...

With the pleasure of my holy sense
Uneasy happiness and in whatever remains
In it, to feed it my wisdom divine
Sneaking drops from my eyes, they're ready to shine.
...

As my beats pause, and all of my sense
Naturally rhyming for my Bright Star
Blessed are they, for her magnificence
Umpteen glory of endless stars.
...

Away from my world, far off those worries
Past pray to the dawn, in my land of memories
Tearing apart my loneliness, from high above those trees
Rushes down the wind; In, welcomes me the breeze
...

I wonder the man who first started feeding.
I wonder what they ate first,
I wonder how they came on the crust
I wonder how they would have felt,
...

With full of unwillingness
the water evaporates
The natural love story ends
as heat - the villain infests.
...

When the heart is full of solicitude
When the mind buries in range
When the fear, falling off the altitude
threatens; the soul betrays
...

There you are, in the midst of the world
Among the humans, who never understood you
You never imagined they were so cynical
To give you distress, under this serene blue
...

कहाँ हो तुम इस जीवन की मझधार में
किन लोगों के बीच, इस मतलबी संसार में
लोग जो अँधेरे और अशांति के प्रतीक हैं
इसी नीले और शांति-रुपी आकाश में
...

Look up in the east, not up so high
Where endless oceans bleed into the sky
There I see a meek and figure-less sun
He was ignored just like a trigger-less gun
...

पूरब की पवन इक संदेशा ले कर आयी है
दूर जो क्षितिज में सुलगती इक चिंगारी है
कमज़ोर दुर्बल वृत जैसा आज कुछ उगा वहाँ
मुझसे टकराने चला है, साक्षी जिसका सारा जहाँ
...
