dhairya

dheere dheere re mana
dheere sab kuch hoye
maali seenche sau ghada
ritu aaye phal poye

- Kabir

:)

faiz kal mandir gaye the
ki pir mil jaye
faiz aaj baazaar gaye the
ki bheed mil jaye

chuppi

aap poocho main chup kyun
kya kahen kahne ko nahin
na jindagi samajh main aaye
na khudhi ko jaan paaye

nasamjhi

kitna hum chahen
woh mod phir aayen
aur hum raste badal aayen

some cheese

bandigi kuch yun kabool ho jaye
tere dard phool ho jaye

Irish Blessing

Found this today, here you go.

A soothing music video here with ireland pics
...
I wish you not a path devoid of clouds, nor a life on a bed of roses,
Not that you might never need regret,
nor that you should never feel pain
No, that is not my wish for you

My wish for you is:
That you might be brave in times of trial,
when others lay crosses upon your shoulders
when mountains must be climbed and chasms are to be crossed,
when hope can scarce shine through

That every gift God gave you might grow with you
and let you give your gift of joy to all who care for you

That you may always have a friend who is worth that name,
whom you can trust and who helps you in times of sadness,
Who will defy the storms of daily life at your side

One more wish I have for you:
That in every hour of joy and pain you may feel God close to you.
This is my wish for you and for all who care for you.
This is my hope for you now and forever

ek onkar

We were driving once, this song played and you turned up the volume. So here we go again my friend:

ek onkar satnam kartapurakh
nirmoh nirvair akaal murat
ajuni sabham
guru parsad jap aad sach jugaad sach
hai bhi sach nanak hose bhi sach
soche soch na ho wai
jo sochi lakh waar
chhupe chhup na howai
je laai har lakhtaar
ukhiya pukh na utari

je banna puriya paar
sahasyanpa lakh woh hai
ta ek na chale naal
ke ve sach yaara hoi ae
ke ve kude tutte paal
hukum rajai chalna nanak likheya naal

Movie Name: Rang De Basanti (2006)
Singer: Harshdeep Kaur
Music Director: Rahman AR
Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi

I feel so helpless tonight.

antheen

duniya sawal pe sawal poochti hai
kahti hai jawab pharmayen
kya kahen ki
jhoot hum kah nahi sakte
sach hum bata nahi paayen

thokaren

jab thokar par thokar mili
kadam yun ladkhadaye
ki chalna mushqil ho gaya
dil kuch aise baitha
ki sambhalna mushqil ho gaya

Split

aaj ki raat hum bate do worlds main
ek main hum hain aur ek main man hai

- that can be a movie line. maybe? no?

zor ka jhatka :D

woh itni aasani se kah gaye
hum bas dekhte rah gaye
ham samandar main bah gaye
woh ret pe rah gaye

- dont ask me what that means. I dont kno.

khona?

hum ajnabi the
ajnabi rah gaye
haath se samay ke moti
yunhi chale gaye

The City Sleeps

It's a beautiful night tonight. The moon shines brightly and the clouds are spread beside. I can see the same stars I could see from boulder, only a little fainter. They stay with you dont they :). A gentle breeze flows. And the city sleeps. With it's millions of teeming lights, few in each house, the city sleeps. It will awaken tomorrow, and hustle and bustle will begin anew, afresh.

but tonight
under the faint moonlight
the gaze of the stars
and caress of the breeze
the city sleeps

sawal

hum toh behaal hi acche the
ki tumne haal pooch liya
jiska jawab hume khud maloom nahi
woh sawal pooch liya

Shayari

Heard some amazing shayari on Urdu channel. Sample this:

bichade, do dil, aadhi raat
le aaye barsaat
badal, barse, ek pal
aankhen barse saari raat

- dont know the name

hai mobahhabt pe yakin woh aane wale hain
kismat dekhiye ki woh urdu jabaan wale hai
kar deta main mohabbat aam magar
mere khilaaf khandan wale hain
ladne ka shauq toh dushmano ko bhi nahi magar
hume ladwate .. darymiyaan wale hain

- dont know the name

jindagi main aaye ho
pyaar main dhalna bhi seekh lo
baad main basana chandralok ko
pahle dharti par chalna bhi seekh lo

All this was from this show called mehfil e mushaira

ahmiyat

waise toh jindagi main
har roz nayi subah
har roz nayi shaam hai
par chooi unchaaiyaan jo
woh tere hi naam hai

waise toh jindagi main
har roz aagaaz hai
har roz anjaam hai
par dekhi gahraiyaan jo
woh tere hi naam hai

We likes this song today

kaise mujhe. Some times, like and life don't match. But what to do, one cant reason one likes, and one cant get away from ones life. It wouldn't be liking then :), and it wouldn't be life then. Makes nonsense?

This morning

Do not say, "It is morning," and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name.

- Tagore

It is easier said than done. But such is the wonder of a newborn, it makes grown ups smile the smile they used to, when they were kids. Of innocence.
