Vaishnavi Singh

March on your toe,
with the head towards time;
Work with your hands,
with your heart looking at time.
...

The mountains screamed to wake the sea,
The trees stood to be silent,
The sun came to give light,
But the world is still violent.
...

We have tongue, but say lies,
We see wrong, but ignore our eyes.
We eat fruits, but cut the tree,
How strange are we!
...

Work, work and only work
We humans are just like clerk;
No enjoyment, no fun
Just to see the rising sun.
...

Of someone I am talking,
Who you see while working, walking;
Don't take him to be a fool,
For this one is beautiful;
...

दुख के बादल हुए घने,
आँसुओं की बरसात है,
जीवन अंधेरा-सा बने,
पर वक़्त चलता ही रहे.
...

The world is ruled by Science,
This truth will be known by these lines;
By the law of gravity, we walk on ground,
The human ear can't hear ultrasound;
...

Oh! the wrong makeup
and the clumsy hair,
Not the mismatched sandals,
Just mind what you wear.
...

In the forest of dark,
When a traveller lost his way,
When night was having a stay,
A ray of light could give a mark.
...

Gazing the stars at night,
We dream of taking a flight;
From town to abroad,
from paper to iron rod.
...

Workers: We sweat in the day
awake in the night,
Body pains, muscles strains,
All this for a two square meal per day.
...

The running legs with shoes and socks,
The sound of ringing bell,
The games in the beach of rocks,
Stories of school they tell.
...

The hopeful eyes that stare,
Gives me gift of knowledge and care,
The creation that God made,
With time, will never fade.
...

The showers of smile,
and the floods of strife,
The anger runs a mile,
As its a part of life.
...

The dates when kings were born,
The war which Hitler won,
Learning it my head pains,
I wonder where are my brains!
...

हर उदेश्य की पूर्ति सफलता नहीं,
राह में आई हर बाधा विफलता नहीं,
सफलता की परिभाषा सही -
मत छोडो आशा कहीं.
...

Towards life what we think,
Or the dreams which usually sink;
Is it the verdict of hell,
or the hope that all's well.
...

Munching bars and watching a match,
And clapping on the fielder's catch,
The latest news of every region,
Is shown by our dear television.
...
