Sunset

I didn't ask for it to be over, 
but then again, 
I never asked for it to begin.
For that's the way it is with life, as some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance. 
But even the most beautiful days eventually have their sunsets.

Clouds come floating into my life, 
no longer to carry rain or usher storm, 
but to add color to my sunset sky.

Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer the goal.

Yaar ko hamne ja bja dekha...

Yaar ko humne ja ba ja dekha,

Kahin zaahir kahin chhupa dekha.

( I saw my beloved in all I saw, At times revealed, hidden at times. )

Nukta-e-imaan se waaqif ho,

Chehra-e-yaar ja ba ja dekha.

( Been familiar with the issue of faith, I saw the face of my beloved in all I saw. )

Kahin mumkin hua kahin waajib,

Kahin faani kahin baqa dekha.

( At times a possibility, at times imperative, At times ephemeral, at times eternal. )

Deed apne ki thi use khwahish,

Aap ko har tarah bana dekha.

( Inspired by the wish to see Himself, He made Himself into every form. )

Dekhta aap hai sune hai aap,

Na koi uska ma siwa dekha.

( He is the one who sees and hears, I saw no one other then Him. )

Soorat-e-gul mein khilkhila ke hansa, 

Shakl-e-bulbul mein chahchaha dekha.

( Laughed gleefully through blooming flowers, Crooned in nightingale's melodious songs. )

Shama ho kar ke aur parwana,

Aap ko aap mein jala dekha.

( He took the forms of the candle and the moth, And annihilated Himself in flames of His own. )

Kar ke daawa kahin anal haq ka,

Bar sare daar wo khincha dekha.

( At times claiming "I am the Truth", Witnessed his head raised on the Cross. )

Tha woh bartar shuma-o-ma se 'Niyaz',

Phir wohi ab shuma-o-ma dekha.

( O 'Niyaz' He was beyond the bounds of `You' and `Me', And yet I see Him in every `You' and `Me'. )

Kahin begaanavash nazar aaya,

Kahin surat se aashna dekha.

( At times he behaved like unfamiliar, At timed I found him familiar with the face. )

Kahin hai badshah-e-takht nashin,

Kahin kaasa liye gada dekha.

( At times he is the emperor in power, At times seen with a mendicant's begging bowl. )

Kahin aabid banaa kahin zahid,

Kahin rindon ka peshwa dekha.

( At times, a devout worshipper, Lord of rakes and drunkards at times. )

Kahin woh dar libaas-e-mashooqaan,

Bar sare naaz aur ada dekha,

( At times in the beloved's attire, He was seen throwing up His charms. )

Kahin aashiq 'Niyaz' ki soorat,

Seena biryaan-o-dil jala dekha.

( At times as a lover like 'Niyaz', He was seen beating his breast and heart aflame. )

Winnie - The Pooh

If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you...

Promise me you'll never forget me because if i thought you would, I'd never leave.

If there ever comes a day when we can't be together keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever.

If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.

“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh," he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw, "I just wanted to be sure of you."”

Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.

Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.

“"I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit.
"No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way."”

The hardest part is what to leave behind, ... It's time to let go!

Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.

If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.

It's always useful to know where a friend-and-relation is, whether you want him or whether you don't.

A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference.

Always watch where you are going. Otherwise, you may step on a piece of the Forest that was left out by mistake.

You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.

मुझे गुमां था, चाहा बहुत ज़माने ने मुझे...

मैं अज़ीज़ सबको था, मगर जरुरत क लिए...

=====================================

तालीम नहीं दी जाती, परिंदों को उड़ानों की...

वो तो खुद ही समझ जातें हैं, उचाई आसमानों की...

=====================================

हीरे की शफ़क है तो अँधेरे में चमक...

धूप में आकर तो शीशे भी चमक जातें हैं...

=====================================

तूफ़ान कर रहा था मेरे अज्म की तवाफ...

दुनिया समझ रही मेरी कश्ती भंवर में है...

अज्म = determination;

तवाफ = going in circles at sacred place; worship

भंवर = whirlpool

=====================================

वो मेरी हर बात से इख्तिलाफ करता है...

चुप चुप के मगर मेरा तवाफ़ करता है...

कहीं कोई और शख्स मेरे करीब न हो जाए... 

इसी लिए वो सब को मेरे खिलाफ करता है...

=====================================

अपनी तो मोहब्बत की इतनी कहानी है...

टूटी हुई कश्ती और ठहरा हुआ पानी है...

एक फूल किताबों में दम तोड़ चुका है...

मगर कुछ याद नहीं आता ये किसकी निशानी है...

Saahil

Teri palkon pe jhilmilaun main…

Tu kare intezaar aur na aaaun main…

Mazhdhaar me le jaake, dagaa mat karna aye dost...

Tu kahe to saahil pe doob jaaun mai...

Koi Apna Sa

Door hai mujhse, to mere khwaabon me aata kyon hai...

Koi rishta to nahi mujhse, phir mujhe satata kyon hai...

Maine tujhse kabhi kuch bhi, maanga to nahi aye dil...

Phir ye dard de k bhi, tu ehsaan jatata kyon hai...

                               

Ek lamhe k liye bhi tujhko, mai bhul nahi paaya...

Phir har nafas mujhko, tu yaad aata kyon hai...

Tu mera nahi hai, ye to pata hai mujhko...

Phir tujh me apna sa koi, nazar aata kyon hai...

-abhi

Barsaat

Ye barsaat ab ruke to, to apne ghar ko jaayein hum...

Boondon me kaid the ab tak, toot k bikhar jaayein hum...

Ruke ruke se kuch lamhon me, bhaagti jati hai ye zindgi...

Ek teri justju nikal jaaye is dil se, phir guzar jaayein hum...

Sunset

Maine khud ko jalte hue dekha hai...

Akeli ajnabi raahon pe chalte hue dekha hai...

Rag rag me lahu banke, daudta hai nasha...

Kadam kabhi bahke aur kabhi sambhalte rahe...

Ab na armaan hai koi na khwaahish baaki...

Kuch khwaab ke tukde the.. Jo aankhon me palte rahe...

Us chaand ko paane ki hasrat dil me liye..

Har shaam hum tanha hi dhalte rahe...

--abhi

Aakhri Saans

Phir chal pada hoon main apni hi talaash me,

Kuch ban ne, kuch kar dikhaane k prayaas me...

Kho jaana chahta hoonn, is neele aakash me,

Par ye panchi abhi hai pankhon ki aas me...

Kahne ko to saari duniya hai paas me...

Par door hota jaa raha hai sab kuch... shaayad is aakhri saans me...

--abhi

Khayaalon ki Udaan

Khwabon k hain kai tukde... aur kuch adhoore armaan...

Zindagi humse naaraaz... aur hum zindagi se pareshaan...

Tanhai ki mahfil bhi hai... aur ajnabi hai har insaan...

Jin raaston pe kabhi mila karte the dost... aaj who raah bhi veeraan...

Ek lamhe me bikhre kai rishte... Kuch marasim ab ho gaye anjaan...

Aati saans de jati hai bebasi... Jaati saans badha deti hai thakaan...

Jaise jaise simati jaati ye duniya... Aur bhi badhta jaata aasmaan...

Hasraton k pankh jala diye humne, Par na rok paaye khayaalon ki udaan...
