Tagore song: Shokhi bhabona kahare bole, translated by Ranu

. song . , ,

Sokhi Bhaabona Kaahare

গান: সখী ভাবনা কাহারে বলে

 

Bengali lyric

সখী,    ভাবনা কাহারে বলে ।
          সখী,    যাতনা কাহারে বলে ।
তোমরা যে বলো দিবস-রজনী    ‘ভালোবাসা’ ‘ভালোবাসা’—
          সখী,    ভালোবাসা কারে কয় !
          সে কি   কেবলই যাতনাময় ।
সে কি   কেবলই চোখের জল ?   সে কি   কেবলই দুখের শ্বাস ?
লোকে তবে করে   কী সুখেরই তরে   এমন দুখের আশ । 
          আমার চোখে তো সকলই শোভন,
          সকলই নবীন, সকলই বিমল,
          সুনীল আকাশ, শ্যামল কানন,
বিশদ জোছনা, কুসুম কোমল— সকলই আমার মতো ।
    তারা  কেবলই হাসে, কেবলই গায়,
          হাসিয়া খেলিয়া মরিতে চায়—
না জানে বেদন, না জানে রোদন,   না জানে সাধের যাতনা যত ।
ফুল সে হাসিতে হাসিতে ঝরে,   জোছনা হাসিয়া মিলায়ে যায়,
হাসিতে হাসিতে আলোকসাগরে   আকাশের তারা তেয়াগে কায় । 
          আমার মতন সুখী কে আছে ।   
          আয় সখী, আয় আমার কাছে—
          সুখী হৃদয়ের সুখের গান   
          শুনিয়া তোদের জুড়াবে প্রাণ । 
প্রতিদিন যদি কাঁদিবি কেবল একদিন নয় হাসিবি তোরা— 
একদিন নয়
 বিষাদ ভুলিয়া সকলে মিলিয়া গাহিব মোরা ॥

What is reflection and
What is agony dear friend.
You talk of love day and night-
How do you define  love?
Is it only torture, tears and sighs?
Why do people desire  such an unpleasant thing.
To me everyone and everything is beautiful,
  novel,and pure
Deep blue sky,green forest,
white moonlight, soft like a flower-
they are all like me.
They only laugh, and sing,
They want to die a happy death-
They know not pain, or tears,
 or useless torment
Flowers wither naturally,
 moonlight disappears when its job is done,
Is there anyone happier than me.
Come to me my friend,
Happy song in a happy heart, 
will give you relief,
If you only cry everyday,
 at least laugh one day-
Let us all join together, 
forget your misery for a day and SING!
..........................:)

Hindi song: Posted and translated by Ranu

. song . , , , ,

In your world it is better

to die than to live.

Tears and sighs are widespread

No matter where my heart leads me.

I wish there was  a home where I could find love.

Unfortunately all I see are cheerless faces,

The same sorrow and despair,

wherever my travel takes me.

“O ruler of the sky, tell me how bad will it be,

to send a few gales of happiness,this way!”

Hindi song: Hamein aur jeenay ki chahat na hoti, posted and translated by Ranu

. song . , , , , , , , , ,

Singers are : Kishore Kumar(male voice, Lata Mangeshkar- female voice)

I would not have the desire to live,

Had you been not here,

If you did not  support me,

I would remain in the whirlpool,

And would not find the shore,

Even if I was on the shore

The waves would come and drown me.

If you were not here

How can I tell you

How much you mean  to me.

You are my life’s support

I would hold on to the string of hope

And weep for moments

Had you not been here.

I would not have the desire to live,

Had you  not been  here.

I would endure

all your sorrows happily.

I would not complain

To anyone ever.

The world would jeer at me,

Happiness would weep for me

Had you not been here,

I would not have the desire to live,

Had you not been  here!

Writing – 101:Why do you write

. Writing 101 . , , , , , , , ,

Today, tell us why do you write?

Set a timer and free-write for 15 or 30 minutes without stopping. Begin your post with “I write because or start it any other way you wish.

I’ve never asked this question why do I write? Now that the question appears before me I wonder, why do I write?

Writing has opened doors for me that were in my mind closed. I’m able to write about my likes and dislikes. My childhood which was the best years of my life. Where we were a happy family, we were contented with everything we had. We did not ask anymore, satisfaction was the keyword in our lives .

Suddenly it all changed, we saw and understood,life was not all about happiness, we must make room or get used to dark unhappy days. Writing gives me the avenue to vent. I know and hope others will read about me and make sense of my personality, why I’ve  become  so quiet, why I take no interest in laughter and good times.

I’ve tasted all of that and thought I’ll always be happy, but it was taken away from n me on a bright sunny morning,when my Dad took his last breath. Before this incidence I thought happiness is forever.

The words of my,”Moral Science Book ” still haunts me, “man can be happy to some extent but cannot attain perfect happiness.”

Little did I realize nothing is permanent in this life, everything is temporary, it is this thought that scares me, I’m scared to be too happy, knowing that tomorrow I won’t be.

I write because I’m free to express myself. There are so many things I can write about,which I won’t be able to do when I am with my friends. They may not like when I talk only about myself.

I can write more,but now I think this is all for today.

I’m happy to be a part of the writing 101 participants. My best wishes to each and every one of you. Thank you for reading my thoughts about ,Why Do I Write?

365 Writing Prompts: Happy happy joy joy

. 365 days . , , , , , , ,

We cry for lots of reasons:  sadness, pain,fear….. and happiness.When was the last time you shed tears of joy?

Almost every day I feel joyous. The very fact that the snow, winter, the freezing days, the ice on streets and pavements have run its course, that this unpleasant weather is on its way out, gives me relief and happiness.

Sunset at 4 pm is such a difficult thing to bear, I look forward to longer hours of daylight and warm sunshine with pleasure .

I am longing to see and  feel the fresh air without covering myself from head to foot, the green grass, trees covered with leaves, birds singing, announcing the end of winter and welcoming the arrival of summer.

This is when I say yes the happy days are here again!

Song by Muhammad rai:Mais zindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya posted and translated by Ranu

. Uncategorized . , , , , ,

I went along with life

accomplished what I could.

I  ignore any kind of worry

In my mind I knew to be

sorry in defeat was useless

Instead I celebrate  defeat.

Whatever I got in life

I considered it my destiny,

I erased loss from my memory

Where sadness or happiness

made no difference

I was happy  to accept it.

I went along with life

accomplished what I could

I ignore any kind of worry!

DP Daily Prompts: I Got Skills

. Daily Prompt . , , , ,

If you could choose to be a master (or mistress ) of any skill in the world, which skill would you pick?

I am not aware what I am good at doing, again I don’t know what comes to me naturally, I have learned some skills by studying in schools.

I am trained to be a teacher, I have used my skills to get a job and have done all right, but I cannot be a mistress of this skill.There are people much better than I am, I cannot claim to be the mistress of this skill and I won’t pick this one.

If it were possible I’d like to choose  to be a mistress  of happiness, I know it’s a tall order, there isn’t anything I can think of other than this, I can at least try!

DP Daily Prompts: Happy Happy Joy Joy

. Daily Prompt . , , , ,

pad2014-s.png (308×60)

We cry for lots of reasons: sadness, pain, fear…. and happiness. When was the last time you shed tears of joy.

Pain I felt for the last few days, I never knew what can top it, I suppose happiness can.

Happiness is a commodity if I can call it that everyone strives to achieve, how many are successful I have no idea, I only see glum faces around me.

Sometimes I think why is it so difficult to be happy, maybe those words that I learned is true: “Man can be happy to some extent but cannot attain perfect happiness.”

When was the last time I can say I was happy Happy?

I received a letter from my prof. that I have passed the, “Master’s degree exam.”

I was away from home studying B.Ed. I was very very happy but sadly I was far away from home and could not tell my Mom and siblings immediately. I wrote a letter which they got after a month. I could send a telegram which they could receive sooner, but the receipt of a telegram frightens those who receive it so it was not really a good idea.

This morning I was more than happy to get mail from my brother!

Happy New Year Everyone(2015)! 🙂
