Flowers is All I Have by Sandeep Silas

Flowers is All I Have

Sandeep Silas


Flowers is all I have

Flowers in your eyes

Flowers in your breath

Flowers in your heart

Flowers in your soul

 

The immortality of life’s goodness written on soft petals

The freedom of a soul’s journey carried on the fragrance

The essence of your existence dwelling in sweet nectar

The perishability of a blossom renewing faith in the life cycle

 

Flowers is all I have

Give flowers to everyone

Offer fresh flowers to your Deity

Give flowers of kindness to the hungry child on the road

Offer flowers of peace to the bomb scorched lands crying for mercy

Give flowers to the white canvas waiting for those budding in your mind

Offer flowers to everyone you meet

Flowers is all you have

 

Freedom from want is a precious flower

Dignity of life is a desired flower

Communal harmony is a treasured flower

Respect for all religions, traditions and communities is a cherished flower

Equitable distribution of wealth is a dream flower

Freedom of thought, speech, and action is a constitutional flower

Liberty of life is a God gifted flower

Flowers is what all humanity has

Flowers is all what makes you and I

So live like a flower till the time you have in this life

Pray like a flower that is happy it came to life

There is a star hidden inside every flower

That star is you

Flowers is all you and I have in this life

Forever Love by Sandeep Silas

Immortal Poetry written over many years encapsulating the most tender soulful emotions and philosophical thoughts!

Rainbows Don’t Last Forever, unless… by Sandeep Silas

Hi friends, announcing the publication and launch of “Rainbows Don’t Last Forever, unless…” my book of poetry/lyrics in English, in Europe on 30-07-2022 !

ISBN-13: 978-613-9-42258-6

ISBN-10: 6139422582

EAN: 9786139422586

Book language: English

Blurb/Short text: “Rainbows Don’t Last Forever, unless…”, I must confess was mostly written at a time of great turmoil in my life. As the winds grew harsh and biting, the storm following with fearsome intent, I stood strong like a tree in the Fall, releasing more colour and spreading more joy. In a phrase, I must say—I lived the season. I know that all these songs in this book will one day touch the soul of the people in the world and music composers will delight in them, with them. These are the songs of the people. You and I live similar lives, in more or small measure; with stronger or lesser intensity; with suppressed desires and hopes; and with stars shining in the darkness of the night. It is one thing to see a star and another to hold on to its twinkle. Find your star and let its soft light raise a glow in your life. I have just done that in “Rainbows Don’t Last Forever, unless…”.

Borough in the Mist, revealed… by Sandeep Silas

Hi friends, announcing  the  publication  and launch of  my  book  of  poetry  in  English “Borough in the Mist, revealed…” in  Europe on 30-07-2022!

ISBN-13: 978-613-9-42262-3

ISBN-10: 6139422620

EAN: 9786139422623

Book language: English

Blurb/Short text: The autumn leaves have started falling. Yellowed. Aged or matured? They have lived their puny lives on the tree. Like the sunlight they drank in everyday, they have become—the colour of the sun. In their freedom from life on the tree, is grace. They will rest in the grass, melt into the soil of collective consciousness and this energy will rise on another tree sometime in the future. So are my poems in this collection. They grew within. Each taking a different shape, a structure as definite and free as the thought, each speaking of the time it saw and soaked. They filled me up, as long as they grew on me. They ate of my flesh and drank of my blood. These are my creations. Eventually, they had to meet the earth on which I stand. New leaves must replace the earlier ones. Yet, they would belong to me in the sense the air, earth, water, fire, light and darkness belong to me. The endless cycle of ideas and words falling in composition the time ordains must go on. Like many others of my ilk, I love painting with words. But, the mere picture is not enough. I must see that it reflects, the seen and unseen. I must, like a seeker, seek the world of my dreams.

वक़्त का तुम… Waqt Ka Tum… by संदीप साइलस “दीप”

वक़्त का तुम…
संदीप साइलस “दीप”

वक़्त का तुम दम भरते हो, वक़्त किसका है
इंतिज़ार करते रहते हो, की ख़त किसका है।

मौसम-ए-बहार की रोज़ तुम राह तकते हो
दरख़्तों से बातें करते हो, परिंदा किसका है।

मन में लिए इख़्लास, क्या-क्या सम्भाले हो
तन्हाइयों में डूबे रहते हो, आसरा किसका है

ये कशिश क्या कभी ले आएगी तुम्हारा प्यार
तारों को गिनते रहते हो, आसमाँ किसका है।

उनकी रूह को ताज़ा, रुख़्सार हँसी रखते हो
असास हैं मज़बूत, उन्हें एहसास किसका है।

यूँ बात-बात आब-ए-दीदा होते हो, बेज़ार हो
कौन पोंछेगा बहते अश्क़, रूमाल किसका है।

आँखों में दास्ताँ, शरीर, हरारत लिए फिरते हो
मोहब्बत भरे लब हैं ख़ामोश, जिगर किसका है।

ख़ंजर-ए-इश्क़, लमहा-बा-लमहा धार रखते हो
खुद ही तो लहू-लुहान रहते हो, दिल किसका है।

चलो बयाबान में चलो “दीप”, वतन किसका है
तेरा हुआ तो आएगा, वरना ख़याल किसका है।

दिल निकाल के… संदीप साइलस “दीप” Dil Nikaal Ke… Sandeep Silas

दिल निकाल के…
संदीप साइलस “दीप”

दिल निकाल के रखता हूँ रोज़ तेरे सामने
मेहर की उम्मीद करता हूँ तुझसे तेरे सामने।

कभी वेद पढ़ता हूँ, तो कभी अज़ान गाता हूँ
कभी कबीर, कभी नानक होते हैं मेरे सामने।

नव-दुर्गा का अदब रखना है मुझे ता ज़िंदगी
इंजील-ए-ईसा को भी लाना है तेरे सामने।

ए इंसाँ तू क्यूँ छोड़ता जा रहा अपनी ज़मीं
तेरी पाकीज़गी को मुझे लाना है तेरे सामने।

ये सियासतें, गर्दिश में ले जा रहीं हैं तुझे हिंद
हज़ारों साल की तहज़ीब, देख है तेरे सामने।

ना सुन बुरा, ना कह बुरा, ना देख तू कुछ बुरा
बापू को भूलने से पहले, ज़रा रख उसे सामने।

नफ़रतें ना लाएँगी, अमन-ओ-चैन की दुनिया
हिट्लर भी गया था, अपनी ही गोली के सामने।

ना झूठ बोल, ना कर फ़रेब, तुझे मिली सल्तनत
कुदरत से ना खेल इंसाँ, पुतला है उसके सामने।

नहीं मानेगा तू, तो वो वापस ले लेगा तेरी साँस
कहते हैं वो मन का “दीप” देखता है अपने सामने।

प्यास… Thirst by संदीप साइलस “दीप”

प्यास…

संदीप साइलस “दीप”

दूर से प्यास बुझती, तो किसी को कहाँ लगती

पी–पी के अश्क़ तू जी गया, प्यास कहाँ लगती।

वो जिसकी तलब थी, नहीं मिला, तो इश्क़ रहा

मिल गया होता, तो इश्क़ की आग कहाँ लगती।

तँहा ना हुए होते, बाद–ए–सबा, सर्द कहाँ लगती

तसव्वुर में ना आते, जाँना की कशिश कहाँ लगती।

वो ग़र पास हुए होते, दिल–तिशनगी, कहाँ लगती

तीरगी के आलम सिवा, ख़्वाबों में लौ कहाँ लगती।

शब–ए–हिज्र, शुक्रिया, नीम–वा रोशनी कहाँ लगती

मेरी सूखी आँखो को, उनकी नमी कब कहाँ लगती।

वादा–ए–वफ़ा निभाया होता, ये ख़लिश कहाँ लगती

वो जुदा ना हुआ होता, ख़ुदा की आस कहाँ लगती।

ज़ख़्म–ए–दिल लिए फिरता हूँ, अब दवा कहाँ लगती

कुछ रखे ज़माने के लिए, वरना नुमाईशें कहाँ लगती।

अब ना हसरत–ए–शाम, ना ख़्वाहिशों से हमें काम

कोई आए ना आए, अब खामोशी भी कहाँ लगती।

एक बेगाने की आस “दीप” क्यूँ रखते हो अपने दिल

ख़ुदा की बारगाह में आओ, यहाँ प्यास कहाँ लगती।

Peace Anthem for the World by Sandeep Silas

Lyrics: Sandeep Silas; Singer: Pawni Pandey

I had been thinking for a long time that our beautiful world does not have a Peace Anthem, which can be universally accepted by the nations of the world and sung in schools and universities.

So I wrote the song, and many thanks to Akshat Pandey, my friend in Mumbai, who recorded it in the voice of his lovely and talented daughter, Pawni Pandey! Thanks Pawni, for making the Peace Anthem idea a possibility for our world and hearts!

Peace is what we want utmost if we have to preserve the human race on the planet!

PEACE ANTHEM

SANDEEP SILAS

There was a time

When the Earth was tranquil

And peace reigned around

Man lived in Eden

And Eve in his heart

Eve in his heart

The serpent of knowledge

Brought untold destruction

Hearts are now divided, homes are aflame

Lines now define frontiers

The fields are red

Are red with blood

See, now the rivers sigh

And the mountains silently cry

The oceans tremble with fear

Music is drowned, by the roar above

And toys have gone for guns

This is my land, those are my men

No one is equal, anymore

Anymore

We have everything

We have nothing

There are tears in every eye

Angels have also become shy

Children don’t play those innocent games

Ivy rushes up walls no more

Strange darkness follows every man

No one to stop and give a hand

Peace does not live in hearts

Not, live in hearts

So think of everyone

As your dear one

Kindle some warmth to last forever

Share the little you have with love

See, tender flowers bring you a promise every season

And the sky still shows a rainbow after the blinding rain

Spring, bursts from the autumns’ yellow

Green is the hand of the gardener

Look at the wonders of this beautiful world

And feel the magic living around you

Living around you

We have everything

We have nothing

There is so much peace hidden in every heart

The world can become one again

Say, that we’ll not live apart

Come let us wish for the healing rain

Turn the wheel as it must

Bring peace to every troubled heart

Peace to every heart

Peace to every heart

We have everything

We have everything

तू लौ ख़ुशनुमा…by संदीप साइलस “दीप” Tu Lau Khushnuma…by Sandeep Silas “deep”

तू लौ ख़ुशनुमा…

संदीप साइलस “दीप”

तू लौ ख़ुशनुमा, मैं पतंगा तेरा

तुझको जियूँ तो, जल जाऊँ मैं ।

ये क्या राबता, कैसा है मेला

तुझको छू लूँ तो, खिल जाऊँ मैं ।

तू मदहोश है, मेरा खोया पिया

तुझको देखूँ तो, भर जाऊँ मैं ।

मेरा दिल तो तेरा, घर बन गया

तुझको पाऊँ तो, बस जाऊँ मैं ।

तेरा चर्चा रहा, वो ज़माना तेरा

गहमा-गहमी हो, तो डर जाऊँ मैं ।

मैं तो आयत तेरी, तू ईसा है मेरा

तुझको मिलने को, ललचाऊँ मैं ।

हर राह तेरी, हर जहां है तेरा

ले चला तू मुझे, कहाँ को जिया ।

ज़ुबान ने मेरी, आज शिकवा किया

ऐसा मिलना हुआ, तो मर जाऊँ मैं ।

तू लौ ख़ुशनुमा, मैं पतंगा तेरा

तुझको जियूँ तो, जल जाऊँ मैं ।

ये क्या राबता, कैसा है मेला

तुझको छू लूँ, तो खिल जाऊँ मैं ।

TU LAU KHUSHNUMA…

Sandeep Silas “deep”

Tu lau khushnuma, main patanga tera

Tujhko jiyun to, jal jaun main

Ye kya raabta, kaisa hai mela

Tujhko chhuu lun to, khil jaun main

Tu madhosh hai, mera khoya piya

Tujhko dekhun to, bhar jaun main

Mera dil to tera, ghar ban gaya

Tujhko paun to, bas jaun main

Tera charcha raha, wo zamana tera

Gehma-gehmi ho, to dar jaun main

Main to aayat teri, tu Isaa hai mera

Tujhko milne ko, lalchaun main

Har raah teri, har jahaan hai tera

Le chala tu mujhey, kahan ko jiya

Zubaan ne meri, aaj shikwa kiya

Aisa milna hua to, mar jaun main

Tu lau khushnuma, main patanga tera

Tujhko jiyun to, jal jaun main

Ye kya raabta, kaisa hai mela

Tujhko chhuu lun to, khil jaun main
