अब अकेले में कभी Sometime in Solitude - Ab akelay me kabhi

उम्र भर करते रहे लोगों से तक़रारें मगर  
सोचता हूँ अब किसी को कुछ न कहना चाहिए 

पढ़ चुके  'राजन ' किताबें दूसरों की तो बहुत 
अब अकेले में कभी ख़ुद को भी पढ़ना चाहिए 
                                   " राजन सचदेव "

Umar bhar kartay rahay logon say takraaren magar
Sochtaa hoon ab kisi ko kuchh na kehna chaahiye

Padh chukay ' Rajan' kitaaben doosron ki to bahut 
Ab akelay me kabhi khud ko bhi padhnaa chaahiye 
                                 " Rajan Sachdeva "
                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                          Translation in English

 Although, have been arguing with people all lifelong 
I think nothing should be said to anyone anymore.

Have read so many books by others - about others.

Now it's time to sit alone - in solitude and read our own self.

  3. Received this long but interesting forward which is applicable:

    *Mário de Andrade - The Valuable Time of Maturity.*

    I counted my years
    and realized that
    I have less time to live by,
    than I have lived so far.

    I have more past than future.

    I feel like that boy who got a bowl of cherries.
    At first, he gobbled them,
    but when he realized there were only few left,
    he began to taste them intensely.

    I no longer have time to deal with mediocrity.

    I do not want to be in meetings where flamed egos parade.

    I am bothered by the envious,
    who seek to discredit the most able,
    to usurp their places, coveting their seats, talent, achievements and luck.

    I do not have time for endless conversations,
    useless to discuss about the lives of others
    who are not part of mine.

    I no longer have the time to manage sensitivities of people who despite their chronological age, are immature.

    I hate to confront those that struggle for power,
    those that ‘do not debate content, just the labels’.

    My time has become scarce to debate labels,
    I want the essence.

    My soul is in a hurry …Not many cherries in my bowl,

    I want to live close to human people, very human,
    who laugh of their own stumbles,
    and away from those turned smug,
    and overconfident with their triumphs,
    away from those filled with self-importance.

    The essential is what makes life worthwhile.
    And for me, the essentials are enough!

    Yes, I’m in a hurry.
    I’m in a hurry to live with the intensity that only maturity can give.

    I do not intend to waste any of the remaining cherries.

    I am sure they will be exquisite, much more than those eaten so far.
    My goal is to reach the end satisfied and at peace with my loved ones and my conscience.

    And as Confucius “We have two lives,
    and the second begins when you realize you only have one.”

    Beginning this weekend, Enjoy life, you only have one, do things that matter & stay blessed forever.
