The Secret Weapon

---

Once there was an old king named Aldorado. He ruled over a large part of Asia and all his rival kings greatly feared him. He was a kind, generous, powerful and compassionate ruler who ruled for the welfare of his subjects. He was a very religious man and donated large amount of money, clothes and garlands to the temples. The king had three sons who were equally skilled in all fields. The thought that was worrying him was the rising power of King Rayuka. He was often called as the “Dark Lord” by other kings as he was the ruler who had never suffered defeat in any battle. He mercilessly used his sword against his enemies and knew defeating Aldorado was not an easy task. Rayuka’s army was huge and was headed by a number of well-trained Generals. In due course of time Rayuka conquered all the neighbouring kingdoms of Aldorado. Suddenly one day, Rayuka waged a war against Aldorado. It was going difficult for Aldorado, each and every day he lost thousands of soldiers and this drained the Royal Treasury. In a time of three days Rayuka took the two of the largest states Leotaet and Fardinabad under his control.

Aldorado, then realising the crisis, called his Ministers, Officials, Generals, Advisors and his sons in the Royal Court. Aldorado said, “If we do not do something quick then soon, we will suffer death in the hands of Rayuka. We should think of a smart and effective plan.” After some time Prince Sagitario, his eldest son asked his father, “Father, I wonder, how can a person be so powerful and so undefeatable? I think Rayuka has a secret weapon using which he defeats his enemies.” Then one of the Advisors said to the king, “Your Majesty, if the prince thinks that way, then I advise we should send a spy to reveal the truth.” Aldorado ordered some spies to find out the truth. But he saw no sign of their return. He again sent other spies but this time also they did not return. He became worried about this. Just then a soldier entered the court and said to the king, “Your Majesty, early this morning in the midst of the battle I heard a faint scream. Along with me there were some soldiers who heard the scream, they told me that it is the voice of one of the spies sent by your Majesty.” The soldier bowed and left the Royal Court. Then Prince and Commander Capri said to Aldorado, “Father, I also have noticed that King Rayuka only targets the powerful army of guerrilla warriors and Generals even if he has got a chance to capture any state, he still targets them.” “Father, so it is clear that Rayuka has no interest in conquering the lands, so what does he want from us? Why does he keep fighting with powerful forces?” asked Mighty Prince Subhasa to his father. “I will take the risk and search for any clues to reveal the secret” said brave Prince Sagitario. Then Subhasa said, “No brother I won’t let you go alone in such crisis, I will come with you since I am stronger than you I can help you.” But Commander Capri said, “None of you two know where the the places are situated, also there are some secret tunnels and underground holes unknown to everyone except me. I will guide you way to search each and every place.” King Aldorado thought about this plan for some time then he said at last, “Yes maybe this plan is perfect but be careful my sons.” “Don’t worry father, we will find out the truth and come back after defeating Rayuka.” said three of them.

At midnight, the three princes crept out of the battleground and made their way towards Pegas. Pegas was situated in between Fardinabad and Leotaet. When they reached the outskirts of Fardinabad, many guards were guarding the entrance. The guards stopped them and one of them asked them purpose their visit. Then Sagitario told them that they were pilgrims from Fardinabad and they had gone to Mecca for some months and were returning today. The guards let them in and they continued their journey. After 7-8 hours they reached Pegas. Just then they saw a group of soldiers charging towards them. The princes thought that maybe the soldiers identified them. So Subhasa took out his club and started to kill them one by one. Just in a matter of seconds Subhasa killed all the soldiers. His brothers praised his strength and then Capri led them to some secret passages which helped them search each and every place quickly. Soon they discovered that Rayuka lived in a grand Palace which was guarded by soldiers on all sides. Sagitario said, “Oh no! Now it will be difficult to enter the Palace without fighting the soldiers. Also we are only three how can we fight an army of soldiers?” But Capri said to his brother, “Don’t worry. I know a secret hole through which we can enter the Palace.” So he led them to the hole and soon they reached inside the Palace. “We need to be very careful now.” said Capri. They saw some clothes of soldiers lying in the floor. They wore them in order to blend with the soldiers. They made their way out of the room and saw many soldiers and servants, but none suspected them.

Soon they came across a room where they could hear loud screams. When they went inside the room, they saw Rayuka was holding a man with his hands. To their surprise the man was becoming older and older while Rayuka was laughing. Soon the man fell down in the floor, dead. Suddenly the green gem in Rayuka’s crown started to glow brighter. He said to himself, “Now I have more power than before, now no one can defeat me with my incredible power!”. The brothers were horrified on what they saw now. None could understand how it could happen. But Sagitario told them that maybe the glowing gem in his crown is the secret weapon which enables him to absorb other’s power and ultimately kills them. “So we need to destroy the gem, else he will absorb our power also.” explained Sagitario. So they came out of their hiding place and Capri taking out his swords, called out to Rayuka, “Rayuka we are the sons of King Aldorado. We have come here to take revenge and take back what belongs to us.” Rayuka turned back and looked at them. He said, “How did you rats enter my Palace? But nevermind, I will absorb your powers and then I will teach you a lesson that weaker people should never interfere in powerful people’s work.” Capri told his brothers to attack from different sides and use full force. Rayuka took out his club and started to attackthem. Sagitario climbed up a large box and from there he started to shower arrows on Rayuka while Subhasa using his club and Capri using his swords fought him on the ground. Rayuka was a skilled warrior, he fought three of them very efficiently. Suddenly he struck a heavy blow to Capri and he fell down. Rayuka was going to absorb Capri’s power when one of Sagitario’s arrow pierced his hand. Taking advantage of the situation, Subhasa struck the gem in the crown, breaking it. Capri again stood up and grabbing one of his swords he cried, “Now we will take our revenge!” then piercing it in Rayuka’s chest he killed him. Thereafter the princes returned back to their kingdom while without the king the armies of Rayuka fled. Aldorado regained all his lost territories. Everyone was thankful to the three brothers and they lived peacefully forever.

Corner Of The Universe

---

In this universe, there is our planet Earth. In our planet there are many people who are always doing some work. Children are playing whereas adults go to work. There are also such people who study space. They are known as space scientists. Mr. Bignut Destin, the boss of some of the people, entered with his son and his best friend's daughter, Clara Gentillesse. Because she was interested in space studies. They were all just introducing themselves and chatting away happy, when suddenly one of the scientists looking through a telescope shouted “A PLANET! A PLANET WITH LIFE!” “WHAT!” Cried Mr.Destin and pushed him aside and looked into the telescope. Clara was beyond speechless. What if it was actually a planet that supports life? It would be a great discovery. But then Mr.Destin said “Are you stupid? It was just a shooting star!” And the trio went home after that.
But in the planet, the one that was about to be exposed, was in chaos. The planet there was different than ours. The plants and trees are crooked and blue. The water was also blue, as if the planets favourite colour was blue! Their ears were pointed like antennas and they were green in colour. The weirdest thing about that place was the people inhaled nitrogen and exhaled oxygen! And of course, the trees gave out nitrogen. And because of these weird trees and the way the life survived. There was no ozone layer. So they actually created an ozone layer and managed like that. By mistake the ozone layer was deactivated and there were changes in just one second. The thing is that, the ozone layer makes the planet invisible and that was all the chaos. In all of these people, there are these two sisters, Natasha Nuevo and Samantha Nuevo. Natasha was a space scientist and worked in a space research centre, NISA. Meanwhile Samantha had her own lab, Jellylabs, where she made the craziest experiments which the authorities unproved of. So, she and her sister mostly used these inventions in secrecy. One day, after a tiring day, Natasha went to Jellylabs, to her sister’s lab. It was all dark there. So Natasha thought Samantha had went home and turned to retreat but then suddenly the lights switched on and Samantha shouted “SURPRISE!” Natasha turned around smiling to see a very happy Samantha pointing towards something that was covered in a huge plastic sheet. “What is it?” Asked Natasha curiously. “Dear Natasha, it is a TELEPORTING DEVICE!” Said Samantha and pulled the sheet off which revealed a two seated sofa type of thing. Samantha gestured Natasha to sit on the machine. So, both of the girls sat on it and while Samantha was tapping on the buttons to activate it, Natasha thought that this could be one of the greatest achievements of their world, and they could also be friends with the new beings. While Natasha was deep in thought, Samantha had a problem and in lack of patience, she clicked on some button and there was red light glowing everywhere and shouts of ‘ERROR’ everywhere. Samantha unbuckled herself from the seat and tried to make it normal. “WHAT’S HAPPENING? SAM!” Just when Natasha said ‘sam’ Samantha said “NO!” And Natasha vanished.

Natasha suddenly felt an urge to shut close her eyes. So, she did and the next moment when she woke up, she was sleeping on the ground, on something green. She stood upend looked down to see grass. Then when she looked around, she was speechless! All the trees, the water, the air she was breathing and even the dogs chasing the squirrels made her feel so astonished that she started to run around the park. Then she saw some humans and hid behind a nearby bush. The humans were very beautiful they were all different coloured and... they were just incredible foe Natasha. So, she thought that they would help her, be friends with her and work with her. So, she moved forward towards the people. At first all of them just stared at her but then someone said “nice costume girl!” “But it seriously looks disgusting!” Said another “I wonder which stupid place she is from!” That’s when Natasha got angry and tried to hit them and they all started to shout and calling someone through some black boxes type of thing. Just then some men came wearing the same outfit running towards Natasha which scared her a lot and she began to run away but then something hit her in the head and she fainted.

The next time she woke up she realised that instead of the ‘green and happy’ looking park, she was in a dark and slightly damp room. When she tried to move, she realised that she was chained. Without warning, she burst into tears. She thought that she would have come here with Samantha but instead, came alone. Then she thought that she could ask for help and be friends with the people here but to no await all these people were cruel and had no pity at all. Just then there was a sound coming from the other side of the door “No! You are being stupid!” Said a boy’s voice “No I am not being stupid! I just want to see it! I was at the park too! I saw it and it was not that dangerous!” “Fine! If you die after seeing it, remember what I said!” Said the boy “yeah! Let’s see!” Said the girl’s voice. There was a little closed window on the door which opened and Natasha said “What do you want?” The same girl’s voice said “do you speak English?” “Yes, we understand and speak all languages because of our antenna like ears” said Natasha and the girl exclaimed “wow! That’s something that nobody has! Anyway, what is your name?” “My name is Natasha Nuevo what about you?” “My name is Clara, Clara Gentillesse” and then Natasha and Clara talked a lot about each other's worlds “Wow! Hmmm...... Should I tell Mr.Destin? I am sure he will help when I tell him about you” said Clara but Natasha said “No! He is too bad! Don’t tell him!” “He is a bad person? Well, that’s the little truth but he always listens to what I say so I am going to tell him. Bye” said Clara and ran down the corridor “Wait! Come back! Please! Oh no!” Natasha screamed and sat down silently.

After an hour or so, the door’s lock was jingling “Please! Don’t do anything to me! I am sorry!” Natasha cried “I had no intention of hurting you and besides, I should be the one who is sorry because Mr.Destin is a bad person! He is not ready to listen to anything no matter what and now he is arranging to take you to a lab in Siberia and isolate you there for ever! But thank God! I found your keys lying on his table and snatched it and ran away!” Explains Clara as she opened the door and was now opening the chains that were locking Natasha “there! Now we can escape let’s go!” Said Clara and took hold of Natasha’s hand and they both ran away.

Right when both of them escaped the building, all of the alarms went off and the sirens started to sound. “THEY ARE AFTER US!” And then Natasha bumped into a guy who was riding a scooter and he freaked out and ran away leaving the scooter behind. Without knowing what she was doing she pushed Clara onto the scooter and sat behind her “what are you doing?” Said Clara surprised “what do you mean by? Let’s go!” Said Natasha “but I am just sixteen I don’t have a licence either!” Replied Clara “IS LIFE IMPORTANT OR LICENCE JUST GO!” Screamed Natasha and both of them were off with a scooter and were also on run.

Suddenly Natasha said “Clara can we go to a lab? Any lab I know one potion that we could make from which we could send a message to her” “‘her’ meaning who?” Asked Clara “my sister, Samantha and who!” said Natasha and Clara replied “Ok fine then let’s go!” Now they were of to a lab. When they reached one first Clara entered and said “hello there! I have a dangerous monster with me, so you all better get out!” And she pointed towards Natasha who was acting like a dead lion and that convinced all the people and they all ran for their life. “Nice acting!” Said Clara half-laughing when the last of the scientist ran away. “Thanks!” Said Natasha “now we should get to work” and saying this she started to mix up the most poisonous and most dangerous looking chemicals. “Is it ok to mix all that stuff?” Asked Clara covering her mouth and backing away when it started to bubble. “You’ll see” said Natasha and dropped the potion on the floor and it turned into a ball when it touched the ball and was not emitting toxic fumes. But then it started to grow and grow util it was big enough to carry two people “at first I thought to send a message but then I thought why don’t I go there myself instead of a message, "said Natasha. There was some silence for about a minute and Clara said “we will never see each other again!” And both of the girls burst into tears and hugged each other. Then Clara kneeled and said “pease take me with you” “but how can I do that! This is your world you are supposed to live here!” Said Natasha tears still streaming down her face “PLEASE!” Screamed Clara now begging Natasha “but, what about your family if you come with me?” Asked Natasha to which Clara replied “I was the only child of my parents and the died last year. Ever since then Mr.Destin has been taking care of me but I don’t want him to be my parent! He is so cruel! Please take me with you, please” this time Natasha smiled and said “Clara, a new life awaits you in my world” and she beckoned Clara into the ball. Both of them sat in the ball and it broke the roof and flew into the space, to a corner of a universe.

A Rainy Day In Summer

---

A rainy day in summer makes the weather pleasant. One day it was terribly hot. The scorching sun did not allow people to get out of their houses. All of a sudden cloud appeared. Soon, the whole Sky was overcast. It became dark. Lightning and thunder started. With no time it started drizzling. Soon it began to rain. The dream started overflowing. The streets turned into small streams. The children begin to take bath in the rain. Some of them floated paper boats. Some of them splashed water on one another. After the rain stop ground became slippery. Some of the people actually slipped. It made the bystanders laugh. In spite of all inconvenience the people heaved a sigh of relief.

My Best Friend

---

Friends are the important part of everyone's life. A friend is someone with whom you can share your joys and sorrow and who is there to help in case of need. I have many friends but Kisna is my best friend. She is my nursery classmate in my never too. I am lucky enough to have true friend like Kisna. It is impossible to write about her in just few words. She understands me a lot and always ready to help me in my all bad or happy condition.

I usually study, play and dance with Krishna. Her parents and my parents are very good friends too. We often have dinner together on my birthday. She always gives me very good and memorable gifts. I wish a great life ahead for her. I pray to God to keep our bonding strong and lively forever.

How Offline Mode Of Education Is Better Than Online Mode Of Education

---

Due to covid-19 virus, schools have been closed everywhere and online education has started and we are acquainted with it, but offline mode of education is better than this. Some reasons behind it are:

In offline mode of education students are able to physically meet with the teacher, ask their doubts without any disturbance. Where is in online mode of education there is a lot of disturbance and students are not able to ask your doubts properly. In offline mode of education students are fully attentive towards class only, and there is less distraction. Where is in online mode of education there are more possibilities of distractions while students main surf on other platform or pay less attention in the class. In offline mode of education teacher can provide individual attention to the students address their issues and solve it quickly. Where as in online mode of education there is so much network problem that it is difficult for the students also and for the teachers also to study. In offline mode of education there is no harm to our eyes. Where is in online mode of education there is much harm and damage to our eyes. So offline education is very helpful for students' teachers and for the whole world.

Glow Like a Diamond

---

Often heard, people saying "glow like a diamond"..."You are a diamond in your attributes"....mhmm..quite interesting.

Does a diamond have its own light?? A diamond is something which traps light within it and tries to portray its fancifulness, alluring people with its sparkles... without light, it's as inferior as one wrongly considers a mere piece of coal...But We humans...We have our own light...invisible but a matter of flamboyance...We don't need to capture light but discover it, somewhere inside ourselves, trickling with our bloods, pressed between our muscles, dusked by our problems. hidden inside our minds embedded in our grey matters. We just need to extract it out and rear it with our passions, sow the seeds for it and bless the saplings as they rise...God delivers the light inside us but need to nourish it. light which has different shades according to different souls...Light which doesn't need a diamond 's gleam but which can enlighten a diamond with its beam...#Lets nurture our talents... There's a whole lot of ruckuses all round the world, begging for #glimmering glory#internal peace... Let's illuminate the flickering light of the world. Let our emanating lights promulgate all round. to every corner of the World...to every eye.#Light inside us.

My Green Garden

---

I have one beautiful garden in my house and I want to share my experience about my green garden. When I am free I go to my garden to spend time with the beautiful flowers, I also play with the mud and help my Grandpa to water and to grow the plants. I also help him in seeding. Some of the best memories of my childhood are attached to my garden. I love it when my entire family sits together in the garden to have their evening tea. I also love the winter afternoons when we have our lunch in the garden. It is simply amazing. Having a garden at home is nice. A Garden is the best place in the house according to me. As it is the only place where a person can get relief from a busy life. Moreover, having a garden in the house welcomes many health benefits. For instance, a garden has many plants that give oxygen. Every day in the morning I can hear the chirping of many birds. Birds like sparrow, pigeon and Indian myna come to wake us. My garden has different kinds of flowers like roses, jasmin, marigold, hibiscus, daisy etc. Also my garden has different vegetables growing in them. The garden has grass all over the area. As a result, this makes it the best place for any exercise. This ensures that I do not get hurt even if I fall down while playing. Further, my garden has a swing too which is my favourite. Because I can spend hours swinging on it and do not get bored. Sometimes I spend my entire day in the garden completing all my tasks there. But this is only possible whenever I have a holiday. I love my garden so much.

Everybody please pay attention,
Here I am going to speak about a great person,
Who lives in my imagination,
Hence, I have given her a special position,
Her words are full of affection,
She does her work with great dedication.
Her behaviour is like a mother,
She cares for me much more than my father,
Who extremely worries about my career,
Since I am her dear,
Her eyes should never tear.
Her teachings are very fine,
Her scolding are very kind,
Her face is full of shine,
My life in her hands is always enshrines,
Her feelings for me are very divine,
She is my sunshine,
Where, I and more little flowers like me blossoms.
Now don't grow imprudent,
To know, who is this great person,
To whom I have paid and will be paying a lot of devotion,
To purify my soul in her own light alone.
She is no one like long fellow,
She is no one like song yellow,
But my respectable, honourable, a motherly and a friendly figure, my TEACHER.

A fear and demon named coronavirus has set inside of all of us.
This pandemic has sunk our academics.
Social distance is the new resistance.

Loving the time we are spending
some online learning and some TV bringing.

Just a Few Years ago

---

Before the Computer age,
An application was for employment,
A Program was a television show,
Windows were something you hated to clean.
A Keyboard was a piano,
Memory was something you lost with age,
A CD was a bank account.
Compress was something you did to garbage.
Log On was adding wood to fire.
A Hard Drive was a long trip on the road.
A Mouse Pad was where a mouse lived.
CUT you did with scissors.
Paste you did with glue.
A Web was a spider home.
And Virus was a flu.

The Glorious Day

---

When the Sun shines,
The air breezes,
The birds chirp,
Rain drops sanctify the place.
Silence dwells everywhere,
Waiting with peace and discipline,
Remembering the bravery and martyr,
Saluting proudly the heroes.
The tricolour unfolds,
The national anthem begins,
Everywhere happy and cheers,
We are audacious with no fears.
Promising to take to new high,
The best amongst all,
Motherland-oh my motherland,
Will scale you like the sky.

Tension

---

The moment you are in tension
You will lose your attention
When you are in total confusion
And you feel irritation
Then you will spoil personal relation
Ultimately you won't get Corporation
Then you will make things complication
When your BP may also rise to caution
Then you may need to take medication
Instead understand the situation
Android to think about the solution
Many problems will be solved by discussion
Which will work out better in your profession
It is only for your prevention
If you understand my intention
You will never come again to tension
A minute of anger may cause a lifetime of agony to you.

Hope

---

When covid came along,
Mankind thought it's just for a while and would be gone,
But as the time passed along
People hopes gone.
But with the lockdown,
The children also missed their playground,
There were dreadful Vibes,
As people lost their lives.
The world then also connected,
The virtual mode they accepted
But still some kept hopes alive,
As doctors saved many life.
Is the time paved its way,
The vaccines come along our way
People are full of happiness,
As they think they are going to be back to their business.
We have got a new way to live our lives,
But the normal way we cannot sacrifice
And would be soon back to the normal
As we aren't able to abide by this new normal.

And the hope is still alive...
And the hope is still alive...

The sky screeches in wonder,
There, the clouds prangle about,
And chortle happy and loud,
The birds gallop in Nature’s song,
I want this to go long and long,
The pit and patter of the Rain drops,
The friskiness with which plants hop,
The desire for the rain to pop,
It makes me jump, sloth, lounge and slop,
This is the vista of the heaven above,
I don’t want it to stop,
The sun appears and dances around,
Mangling the glory I had found,
The mud dries out,
But still sounds nature’s flute
The breeze choruses with the trees,
Still flutter the sprightly bees,
I want again to sigh and flush and hoot
Nature is heaven, mellifluous or mute...

God made a wonderful mother.
A mother who never grows older.
Mother sees the good inside me.
Takes my hand and guide me.

teaches me how to stand up again.
Mother I wish were you my matrix,
the birth of Excellence.
Mother I wish you were my composer,
record my rhythmic symphony of intelligence.
Thank you for all that you have done,
and thank you for all that you do so thank you thank you.

Look there! the beautiful plants with beautiful flowers.
Look there! the birds are singing.
Look there! the beautiful sun is.
Look there! the beautiful sky.
These are the things make a beautiful morning.

Happy Rains

The rainy season is the best season
And it is for many reasons
The days are cold and dark
And the Ray of lightning gives a spark.
The rivers are flowing
The crops are growing
The nature is glowing
And the cool winds are blowing.
Pitter patter pitter patter
The raindrops are falling on the ground
Chitter chatter chitter chatter
The laughter is all around.
It is raining outside
Come on let's go out
Pick up your umbrella
Let's roam a roundabout.
The peacocks are dancing
The trees are swinging
The rainbow is shining
And the whole world is looking green and charming.

Coronavirus

Here, I sit.
In a complete isolation.
All a first separated by The Invisible.
I would reach out to you,
Birthday simple elbow touch wouldn't do.
Lysol spray has become perfume,
Hand sanitizer has become hand lotion,
The news has become that Bible.
A simple virus whose name resembles royalty,
Has done the unthinkable.
Destroyed businesses,
And has ruined relationships.
The death toll Rises.
And hope decreases.
What to do,
Everyone scrambles to find a solution.
Maybe it is found in the empty grocery shelves.
Or may be in the fear of going outside.
Online assessments plague the uninfected.
But I believe
We will all get through this together.
We will all get through this just not with each other.

I Am Special As I Can Be

I am special I am me
I have two hands and two eyes to see.
Anuj to smell and my years too well Anuj to smell and my ears hear well.
A mouth to talk
And two legs to walk.
But that's not all because you see.
And special, I am me!
I am special as I can be,
Because no one looks or acts like me.
I am one person, myself, me and that's the way that it should be.

The Hidden Treasure

---

When I was a kid
I asked my father
What is inside the earth?
My father replied "hidden treasure"
You will get when you dig.

Next day I asked my father
What is inside the sea?
My father replied " hidden treasure"
You will get while sailing across it.

When I grew up
Neither did I dig nor did I sail
But when I went to school
I found the hidden treasure!
That came to me from my teachers
Who imparted knowledge!
Teachers are the real "hidden treasure" whose value one cannot measure!

नर हु मै नारायण नहीं

---

नर हूँ मई नारायण नहीं
हर का दिया ये शरीर भी मेरा नहीं
गरीब हूँ नहीं है दौलत अभी
परोपकार के लिए ये बाधा नहीं
है अपने पास जो खुद नारायण के पास भी नहीं
चीत खोलो अपने आत्मा का
जो कर सकते है हम नहीं कर सकते नारायण भी
धड़का सकते है ये दिल किसी और के धड़कन में
पहचान ले अपने आप को हर के बंदे
दे सकता है किसी के नैनो मई रंगीन सपने
सशरीर अंग लेकर क्या सवर्ग ले जाना है
नहीं मिलेंगे नारायण तुम्हारा इस सौग़ात से
खिला सकते है कितनो के जिंदगी में हॅसी
दूर कर सकता है अँधेरा भर सकता है रौशनी
देकर अपना हर एक अंग दान
रख सकता है दधीची का मान
खुद नारायण आयेंगे अमृत कलश ले आयेंगे
सार्गक होगा जीवन अपना
कांधा देंगे नारायण अपना
नर हूँ में नारायण नहीं
हर का दिया ये शरीर भी मेरा नहीं

ମୋ ସ୍କୁଲ

---

ମନେ ପଡ଼େ ମୋ ସ୍କୁଲ
ମାନିବାକୁ ହୁଏ ସବୁ ଭୁଲ ।

ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା ସମୟରେ ଲାଗେ ପୁରା ଫୁଲ୍
ଆକଟ କରନ୍ତି ଶିକ୍ଷକ ଶିକ୍ଷୟତ୍ରୀ ଯଦି କରୁ ଭୁଲ ।

ଖାଇବା ଛୁଟି ହେଲେ ହୁଅନ୍ତି ସଭିଁଏ ଚୁଲ୍ବୁ ବୁଲ୍
ଖେଳ ଛୁଟି ରେ ପଡ଼ିଆ ରେ ହେଇଯାଆନ୍ତି‌ ମସଗୁଲ୍ ।

ଦେଢ଼ ବରଷ ହେଲା କଲ୍ ବଲ୍ କଲାଣି କରୋନା
ପଢିବା ପାଇଁ ସ୍କୁଲ ଯିବା ମନା ।

ଘରେ ବସି କାଟୁଛି ଆମ ଦିନ ରାତି
ଇଛା ହୁଏ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ନିଜ ସାଙ୍ଗ ସାଥି ।

ହେ ଈଶ୍ଵର, ତୁମ ନିକଟରେ କରେ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା
ଦୂର କର ଦୁନିଆଁ ରୁ ମହାମାରୀ କରୋନା ।

ସଭିଏଁ ମିଳିମିଶି କରିବେ ହଲ୍ ସ୍ତୁଲ
ପୁଣି ହସି ଉଠିବ ମୋ ସ୍କୁଲ ।

ନାଇଁ ଥାଉ

---

ଏ ଆଖି ହଜାରେ ସ୍ଵପ୍ନ ସଜାଡେ,
ତାସ୍ ଘର ପରି ସବୁ ଉଜୁଡେ ।
ମନେ ଆକାଂକ୍ଷାର ସୌଧ ଗଢ଼େ,
ଭାଙ୍ଗି ପୁଣି ସେ ମାଟିରେ ମିଶେ ।
ଚିନ୍ତା ପୁସ୍ତିକାରୁ ଚିରିଲେ ଫର୍ଦ୍ଦେ,
ଯୋଡି ହୋଇଯାଏ ଅନେକ ଫର୍ଦ୍ଦ ।
ସ୍ମିତ ହସ ପଛେ ଲୁଚି ରହିଥାଏ,
କେତେ ଯେ ଯନ୍ତ୍ରଣା, କେତେ ଯେ କୋହ ।
ଜାଣେ ସେ ଲୁହର ତାତି,
କେବଳ ସେ ଅନ୍ଧାର ରାତି,
ଆଉ ସେ ନିର୍ଜୀବ ବାଲିସ୍ ।
ସବୁପରେ କରିନିଏ,
ନିଜ ସହ ପୁଣି ମାଲିସ୍
ମନକୁ ଟିକେ ଫୁସୁଲେଇଦିଏ,
ଆଉ କୁହେ,
ନାଇଁ ଥାଉ!

ସ୍ୱପ୍ନ

---

ମଗିଥିଲି ତାକୁ ମୁଠାଏ ସପନ
ଆଖି ରେ ଭରିବା ପାଇଁ
କ୍ଳାନ୍ତ ପଲକରେ ସଜାଇ ମୁ
ମଧୁର ପରଶ ଦେଇ ।

ଭାବିଥିଲି ମନେ ଯିବା ପାଇଁ ଦିନେ
ଇନ୍ଦ୍ରଧନୁ ର ପଥେ
ପଣତ କାନି ରେ ସାଉଁଟି ଆଣିବି
ଜୀବନ ରଙ୍ଗ କୁ ସାଥେ ।

ଭରିଦେଇ ରଙ୍ଗ ହତାଶ ପରାଣେ
ବସନ୍ତ ମଳୟ ପରି
ଫଗୁଣ ର ଗନ୍ଧେ ମନ ଅଗଣାରେ
ସବୁଜିମା ଦେବି ଭରି ।

ମାଁ ପଣତରେ ଶିଶୁ ର ମୁହଁ ରେ
ଦରୋଟି ହସରେ ଛଟା
ନିଦାଘ ଜୀବନେ ଶୁଷ୍କ ପରାଣେ
ଶ୍ରାବଣ ଅମ୍ରୁତ ଛିଟା ।

ଏ ଜୀବନ ସ୍ୱପ୍ନ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କରିବାକୁ
ଶକ୍ତି ଦିଅ ହେ ପ୍ରାଣେ
ଯୋଡ଼ ହସ୍ତେ ପ୍ରଭୂ ପ୍ରଣାମ କରେ
ମୁଁ, ସତ କି ହୋଇବ ସତେ ?
