A Stranger came to my door and knocked,
I opened the door and Looked,
He entered the door smiling,
As I followed him puzzling.
...

I invite you to my world
A paradise of human virtue,
where you and I are 'one'
...

It is beyond human ken,
An idea difficult to learn
Even to those who are keen.
But man knows It as real
...

Nice it is to see you again
In good health and healthy disposition
After a lot of sufferings from illness
Oh, friend, I grieved at your sufferings
...

Oh, mothers of the world you are divine,
Oh, daughters of the world you are divine,
Oh, sisters of the world you are divine,
Oh, wives of the world you are divine,
...

Love is life and death,
It is smooth and rough,
Happiness and unhappiness,
Live together in selfless love.
...

Have you seen him? the fellow,
Who claims to be great,
Though he is foolish 'blank'.
...

He is her better half'
She is his sweet heart,
The flowers of the stem,
Called 'life', the God's gift.
...

I laugh when Death comes
In state with his retinue
His visit makes people shudder
As he makes Kith and Kin disappear.
...

The fine creation man is a debris
Where all kinds of trash works
The flesh and blood contaminated
Produce odours nauseating to the most beloved
...

Paradise is our goal
Some say it is in skies
Other ones say in Earth
...

You weep for what?
Is it not you forget Him,
So you weep for 'nothing'
...

Have you seen a cart-
That moves on one wheel?
No such cart Is cosy
