Make Your Today Better As down goes the sun to set A tired and fatigued day pines for rest Seeking the cool hand of night like soft falling rain To remove my worries, to wash away all pain Who picked me up? Is it not you my God? Who held me close to the bosom as a mother would hold? Dreams of the day’s ups and downs, the success I achieved, mistakes I made.. Came crowding my head It is you again who smoothed my wrinkles, removed my pain As you spoke of the lesson of life to be brave again “Let life not defeat you, you were born to win” Said you as to your chamber of deep sleep you led me in Came dawn…a new day struck.. Lovingly you called “Awake Get up son! Another day, another opportunity should not go waste Try, Try again An honest effort never goes in vain” Strength returned, ahead lay the unfinished road I picked me up with your support my God Gratefulness swelled in my heart as I meekly mumbled “How can I repay you?” my heart asked You smiled at my foolishness and gave me your best lesson “Carry your bag and move on Remember this of me if you want to repay Forget yesterday and gift me a better today Make your today better than yesterday.”
Dil ka maamla Sardi ka mahaul tha Dubke rahte the din raat Khao piyo aur mauj karo Fiqr ki na koi baat Aise mein is dil ne ek din Baja diya alarm ECG machine se Nikla ek lamba sa form

Tedhi medhi lakiron par Likha tha dil ka haal Doctor lage ghabraye hue Hum to the khushhaal Hospital mein rehna bhi Ek tajurba hota hai Khaas taur pe bogus patient Jab koi bharti hota hai Lete lete palang par Milta hai badhiya khana TV dekho, akhbaar padho Biwi bhi na kare na na

Sundar, sundar nursen aakar Letin BP aur temperature Unhen kya pata ki yeh ‘patient’ Ghoor raha hai maze le kar Dil hamara sachh mein uchhala Maari kayi chhalaang Jab ek sundari aa kar boli ”Chaliye karwa doon snaan” Biwi ne us nurse ko Teekhi nazron se dekha "Chalo utho khud snaan karo" Kaha kar tauliya hum par phainka Rae sabhi tandruston ko hai 'Lal' ki Apne dil par rakho kaabu Par kabhi kabhi yun mauka paakar Maze maar lo babu !

A matter of the heart It was chilly cold winter I used to remain tucked in a comforter Eating hot pakodas and samosas Was a tasty daily matter Then one day this heart rang an alarm From ECG machine came out a longish form The zigzag lines were telling the tale of my heart Doctors looked scared and got up with a start Staying in hospital is also fun Specially if you are admitted For simply no rhyme or reason The IVs, pipes and needles scare you a bit But you must get used to them And keep control of your wit Beautiful nurses come regularly
To check your BP and temperature They do not know the patient has an ogling nature,, My heart was thrilled and jumped several leaps When one sweet thing came and said "Sir, shall I give you a bath?" My wife looked at her with piercing eyes And threw the towel on my face Go and have a bath yourself, said she This hospital is not such a nice place. Says ‘Lal’ to every one "Have control on your heart my friends” Sending patients to hospitals on holiday Is now becoming a trend ! Ashok Lal, ablsl1971@yahoo.co.in
