Pal bhar thahar jaao
Dil ye sambhal jaaye
Kaise tumhe roka karun
Meri taraf aata har gham phisal jaaye
Aankhon mein tum ko bharun
Bin bole baatein tumse karun
‘gar tum saath ho..
Agar tum saath ho

Behti rehti..
Nahar nadiya si teri duniya mein
Meri duniya hai teri chaahaton mein
Main dhal jaati hoon teri aadaton mein
‘gar tum saath ho

Teri nazron mein hai tere sapne
Tere sapno mein hai naraazi
Mujhe lagta hai ke baatein dil ki
Hoti lafzon ki dhokebaazi
Tum saath ho ya na ho kya fark hai
Bedard thi zindagi bedard hai
Agar tum saath ho
Agar tum saath ho

Do I Know You?

I'm sorry, I thought I knew you,
I didn't mean to stare,
Was that a smile of recognition,
Just before that worried glare?

No, you're right, you're not the person,
The girl I knew was full of hope,
You're depressed and getting older,
You can hardly seem to cope.

She was young and full of energy,
There was nothing she couldn't do,
She had faith and joy and laughter,
No, you're right, she wasn't you.

Promise me, that if you see her,
You'll tell her that I really care,
And I miss her looking back at me,
From that mirror over there.

“Some people are like fire,
beautiful flickering flames
that you know will burn you
but you can’t help but reach for.

They burn you slowly,
warming to scorching to burning,
and yet, aware of the pain,
you don’t pull away.

The scares last for a while,
if not forever,
and you find yourself poking them,
wishing for the flame once more”

When I’m loud and cheerful; you say I’m on a high
When I’m quiet and reserved; you say I’m too shy
When I hold those tears within; you say my eyes are too dry
When they leak out at times; you say there was no need to cry
When I ask you your news; you say I’m trying to pry
When I give you a gift; you say your favour I’m trying to buy!
When I tell you my problems; ‘life’s not fair!’ you sigh
When I try to make amends; you become suspicious and ask ‘why?’
You’re never happy and pleased; no matter what I do or try
Would you care if I ran away? ; Would you care if I let myself die?
Maybe I should go on in this hopeless way; Or maybe I should just leave without goodbye…

Jab Mene Us Se Pocha Tha

Kya Dhop Mn Barish Hoti He

Wo Hnste Hnste Rone Lgi

Or Dhop Mn Barish Hony Lgi

Wo Nazuk Si Kali Murjha C Gayi

Or Ro Kar Mujh Se Kehne Lagi

Tum Chor Na Jana O Sajan

Dil Tor Na Jana O Sajan

Tum Kya Jano Dhop Ki Barish ko

Tum Kya Jano Hijir Ki Garmi ko

Jab Tum Door Thy Mujh Se O Sajan

Mere Hath Ki Chori Aur Kangn

Jab Geet Tumhare Gaty Thy

Mujhe Yaad Boht Tum Aaty Thy

Mn Hnste Hnste Roti Thi

Aur Dhop Mn Barish Hoti Thi.

How When Where
Poet: John Oxenham

It is not so much WHERE you live,
As HOW, and WHY, and WHEN you live,
That answers in the affirmative,
Or maybe in the negative,
The question Are you fit to live?

It is not so much WHERE you live,
As HOW you live, and whether good
Flows from you through your neighborhood
. And WHY you live, and whether you
Aim high and noblest ends pursue,
And keep Life brimming full and true.

And WHEN you live, and whether Time
Is at its nadir or its prime,
And whether you descend or climb.
It is not so much WHERE you live,
As whether while you live you live
And to the world your highest give,
And so make answer positive
That you are truly fit to live.

A smile
By Anonymous


Smiling is infectious,
You catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner,
And someone saw my grin,
When he smiled I realized,
I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile,
Then realized its worth,
A single smile, just like mine,
Could travel round the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin,
Don't leave it undetected.
Let's start an epidemic quick,
And get the world infected.
