Letting go...

I might have been rich if I'd wanted the gold
instead of the friendships I've made.
I might have had fame if I'd sought for renown
in the hours when I purposely played.
Now I'm standing to-day on the far edge of life,
and I'm just looking backward to see
What I've done with the years and the days that were mine,
and all that has happened to me.

I haven't built much of a fortune to leave
to those who shall carry my name,
And nothing I've done shall entitle me now
to a place on the tablets of fame.
But I've loved the great sky and its spaces of blue;
I've lived with the birds and the trees;
I've turned from the splendor of silver and gold
to share in such pleasures as these.

I've given my time to the children who came;
together we've romped and we've played,
And I wouldn't exchange the glad hours spent
with them for the money that I might have made.
I chose to be known and be loved by the few,
and was deaf to the plaudits of men;
And I'd make the same choice should the chance
come to me to live my life over again.

I've lived with my friends and I've shared in their joys,
known sorrow with all of its tears;
I have harvested much from my acres of life,
though some say I've squandered my years.
For much that is fine has been mine to enjoy,
and I think I have lived to my best,
And I have no regret, as I'm nearing the end,
for the gold that I might have possessed.
LOVVEEE ITTT!!! XD :D

“He shall never know I love him: and that, not because he's handsome, but because he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made out of, his and mine are the same.”
― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

Wished to relive

I felt the dew drowned grass barefoot, I stood in the open.
I smelled the wet soil,refreshing as ever.
I felt light,as though I could be carried by the wind.
I sensed a supernatural force acting,upon my body.
I noticed I was swiftly moving upwards.
I then had reached where I could never believe Id stand.
I was there,face to face with the fluffy clouds.
I bend down,touched one and gave it a kiss which in return gave me a healing sensation.
I then was awakened by the pat on the back from a friend as the bus had stopped in front of school gates.

A poison tree...

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine.
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

I don't have no time!
Then again, nobody did.

Yes, like you, I wish it was mine.
But obviously, it isn't.

It isn't a slave to your desires
Or your procrastinating mind.

It isn't out there for a hire
But as an ever drifting tide.

It bears the power to break you
and simultaneously make you.

Sadly, time has never been ours to own...
Will never be.

So let us throw that fantasy
Onto the far far-side.

All the things you want to be in life
Are not the things they say are right.

All the things you want to be in life
Tend to stay hidden in your mind.

All the things you want to be in life
Are not just the dreams you dream at night.

All the things you want to be in life
Who knows, you could be, in time ...

My Name there you go ... another one :)

I'm a big fan of Allama Iqbal:)
read and enjoy! indeed the ultimate truth!(y)

Adam Is Received By The Spirit Of The Earth


Khol Ankh, Zameen Dekh, Falak Dekh, Faza Dekh
Mashriq Se Ubharte Huwe Suraj Ko Zara Dekh

Open your eyes and look above,
Look at the streak of dawn;


Iss Jalwa-e-Beparda Ko Pardon Mein Chupa Dekh
Ayyam-e-Judai Ke Sitam Dekh, Jafa Dekh

Look at the veiling of the vision;
Look at the banishment unfair;


Betab Na Ho Maarika-e-Beem-o-Rija Dekh!

Look at the battle of hope and fear.


Hain Tere Tassaruf Mein Ye Badal, Ye Ghataen
Ye Gunbad-e-Aflak, Ye Khamosh Fazaen

Yours are the clouds, the rains, the skies,
Yours are the winds, the storms,


Ye Koh Ye Sehra, Ye Sumandar Ye Hawaen
Theen Paish-e-Nazar Kal To Farishton Ki Adaen

The woods, the mountains, the rivers are yours;
The world of the angels was a void;


Aaeena-e-Ayyam Mein Aaj Apni Ada Dekh!

Look at the peopled earth, which is yours.


Samjhe Ga Zamana Teri Ankhon Ke Ishare
Dekhain Ge Tujhe Door Se Gardoon Ke Sitare

You wilt rule it like a king;
The stars will gaze in wonder;


Na-Paid Tere Behar-e-Takhiyyul Ke Kinare
Pohanche Ge Falak Tak Teri Aahon Ke Shirare

Your vision will encompass the earth;
Your sighs will reach the heavens;


Tameer-e-Khudi Kar, Asar-e-Aah-e-Rasa Dekh!

Look at the power of your pain and passion.


Khurshid-e-Jahan Taab Ki Zou Tere Sharar Mein
Abad Hai Ek Taza Jahan Tere Hunar Mein

The spark in you is a radiant sun;
A new world lives in you;


Jachte Nahin Bakhshe Huwe Firdous Nazar Mein
Jannat Teri Pinhan Hai Tere Khoon-e-Jigar Mein

You care not for a borrowed heaven;
Your life‐blood has it concealed;


Ae Paikar-e-Gil Koshish-e-Peham Ki Jaza Dekh!

Look at the reward of anguish and toil.


Nalinda Tere Uood Ka Har Taar Azal Se
Tu Jinse-e-Mohabbat Ka Khireedar Azal Se

Your lyre has an eternal plaintive string,
Panting with the passion of love;


Tu Peer-e-Sanam Khana-e-Asrar Azal Se
Mehnat Kash-o-Khoon Raiz-o-Kam Azaar Azal Se

You guard eternal secrets divine,
And live a life of obedient power;


Hai Rakab-e-Taqdeer-e-Jahan Teri Raza, Dekh!

Look at the world as shaped by your will.
