"Decorate" by Yuna from Yuna Zarai on Vimeo.

So you decided to see me out of the blue
Should I let you come over?
I think you're doing fine
That girl in your arms, does she know where you come from?

Almost made me move out of town
You don't want me to be around
But I stayed anyway.. just in case

Finding reasons to hate you more than before
Like how you said you would call
But never at all.. got rid off your number that I know by heart

You left your things at my place
As if I have all the space cause you know I don't mind
Just come back when you think it's time

I'm all black and white inside
Monotonous from left to right
I decorate my house with things you love
Just in case you show up.. in case you show up

What counts

Is not the color of your skin,
But the color of your character.

Is not the language that you speak,
But the words that you use.

Is not where you live,
But how you live.

Is not how much you earn,
But what you do to earn it.

Is not where you are
But how you got here.

Is not that you are a human being
But the kind of human being you are.

दिल की बातें दिल में रह गयी , जुबाँ पे आया कुछ भी नहीं

दिल की बातें दिल में रह गयी , जुबाँ पे आया कुछ भी नहीं
सोचा बहुत था, पर आई जब तुम, हमने बताया कुछ भी नहीं

कभी ये मोती, कभी ये शबनम , तुम्हारा कतरा गंगाजल नम
गम तो यहाँ भी दबे बहुत थे, हमने बहाया कुछ भी नहीं

बादल, बिजली, सूरज , चंदा, तारें, मौसम सब तुम हो
जो कुछ था सब तुमपे लुटाया, हमने बचाया कुछ भी नहीं

दुःख सब मेरे, सुख सब तेरे, हम है तेरे गम के लुटेरे
दर्द की वैसे खेती की है, तुझे भिजवाया कुछ भी नहीं

चंचल आँखें, नाजुक बातें , चाँद सा चेहरा , जुल्फें रातें
एक झलक में इतना सब कुछ, अभी दिखाया कुछ भी नहीं

बदन धूप का, खिले रूप का, फूल-सी खुशबू , अल्ला हू
सारी नेमत तेरे हिस्से , हमने पाया कुछ भी नहीं

तेरा पसीना ओस की बूंदें , आसूं तेरे गौहर हैं
हम जो हँसें तो बने गुनाह, तूने जो रुलाया कुछ भी नहीं

पता हैं तूने पिया न पानी, चाँद जो तुझको दिखा नहीं
मैंने भी है साथ निभाया , सुबह से खाया कुछ भी नहीं

मेरी बरकत, मेरी शोहरत, सब तुझसे ही रोशन हैं
जो कुछ है सब तेरा है, मेरा कमाया कुछ भी नहीं

- अमित अरुण साहू , वर्धा

तुम्हे तो शायद अब याद भी न हो

किसी ने चाहा था लड़कपन में तुमको
तुम्हे तो शायद अब याद भी न हो
मन ही मन अपना बनाया था तुमको
तुम्हे तो शायद अब याद भी न हो

उसे न आता था प्यार जताना
उसे न आता था तुमको मनाना
इसलिए शायद सताया था तुमको
तुम्हे तो शायद अब याद भी न हो

दिल ही दिल में अपने ख्वाब बुनता था
सपनो को कलियाँ तेरे लिए चुनता था
कभी न लेकिन बताया था तुमको
तुम्हे तो शायद अब याद भी न हो

रातों को उठकर बिस्तर से जागता था
वो तुम्हे चाहता था तुम्हे मांगता था
दुनिया से रूठकर भी मनाया था तुमको
तुम्हे तो शायद याद भी न हो

सोचता था क्या होगा अंजाम मेरा
कोपियों पे लिखता था वो नाम तेरा
किताबों मेंफूल सा सजाया था तुमको
तुम्हे तो शायद अब याद भी न हो

पीछे कि सीट से क्लास में बैठकर
प्यार से वो तुमको देखता था अक्सर
चाहा मगर गले से लगा न पाया तुमको
तुम्हे तो शायद अब याद भी न हो

बचपन कि वो यादें अब भी आती है
बैचैन करती हैं मुजको रुलाती हैं
सोचा बहत ''तोमर'' भुला न पाया तुमको
तुम्हे तो शायद अब याद भी न हो....
तुम्हे तो शायद अब याद भी न हो...
तुम्हे तो शायद अब याद भी न हो...

~डॉ. विकास तोमर.

सांस लेने की भी फुरसत नहीं होती मुझको

अब तेरी याद से वेहशत नहीं होती मुझको
ज़ख्म खुलते हैं, अजीयत नहीं होती मुझको

अब कोई आये, चला जाए, मैं खुश रहता हूँ
अब किसी शक्स की आदत नहीं होती मुझको

ऐसा बदला हूँ, तेरे शहर का पानी पी कर
झूठ बोलूँ तो नदामत नहीं होती मुझको

है अमानत में खयानत, सो किसी की खातिर
कोई मरता है तो हैरत नहीं होती मुझको

इतना मसरूफ हूँ जीने की हवस में मोहसिन
सांस लेने की भी फुरसत नहीं होती मुझको

आज इस मोड़ पर लाये हैं उजाले मुझको

आज इस मोड़ पर लाये हैं उजाले मुझको
एक अँधेरे का समुन्दर है संभाले मुझको|

जी में आता है तेरे ज़ुल्म-ओ-सितम सब कह दूं
पर रोक लेते हैं लब-ए-इज़हार के ताले मुझको|

कुछ तो तेरी राह-ए-गुज़र थी हमदम
कुछ सर-ए-राह मिले लूटने वाले मुझको |

वो कब तलक मुझको अपनी पलकों पे सजाये फिरती
कर दिया उसने भी अश्कों के हवाले मुझको |

कैद अपनी ही रिवायत की हदों में हूँ
कोई तो हो जो इस अँधेरे से निकाले मुझको |

मुझको हर सिम्त अपने होने की बू आती है
कही मेरा होना ही मार ना डाले मुझको|

हुआ जो कुछ उसे भुलाना चाहिए था

हुआ जो कुछ उसे भुलाना चाहिए था
के उसे अब लौट आना चाहिए था

यह सारा बोझ मेरे सर पे क्यों है
उसे भी थोड़ा गम उठाना चाहिए था

इतनी खामोशी से ताल्लुक तोड़ दिया
उसे पहले बताना चाहिए था

उसकी यादों की खुश्बू है आज भी मेरे दिल मैं
मुझे जिसको भुलाना चाहिए था

ज़रा सी ग़लती पे रूठ बैठे
क्या उससे बस बहाना चाहिए था ??

मुझे पा कर उससे क्या चैन मिलता
जिसे सारा ज़माना चाहिए था||

I never knew

I never knew there would be a better tomorrow,
But you've come into my life and taken away all my sorrow.

My days of sadness are a thing of the past,
Because I have found true love at last.

My days of emptiness are gone for good,
Because you fill a void in my heart that you should.

You've opened a window.
You've shown me the light,
And my love for you
will continue to burn bright.

कुछ दिन पहले मोहब्बत को सपना समझा हमने

कुछ दिन पहले मोहब्बत को सपना समझा हमने,
मोहब्बत हुयी, मोहब्बत को अपना समझा हमने|
मोहब्बत में इस क़दर मदहोश हो गए,
इसकी बेवफाई को वफ़ा समझा हमने|
ज़ख्म इस क़दर मोहब्बत ने दिए,
इन ज़ख्मों को फूल समझा हमने|
मोहब्बत की चीख-ओ-पुकार इस क़दर थी,
के आस-पास लोगों के रोने को आसना समझा हमने|
मोहब्बत की शिद्दत में आँखें इस क़दर चौंधिया गयीं,
हर चमकती चीज को सोना समझा हमने|
दीवाना इस क़दर मोहब्बत ने बनाया हमको,
के अपने को बेगाना समझा हमने|
मोहब्बत की यादें दिल पर कुछ यूँ नक्श कर गयीं,
के उनको भुलाने की कोशिश में खुद को भुला दिया हमने||

A Poem for A Special Someone.

You are my inspiration.

Having you in my life

Revived my sleeping devotion

You are indeed a special someone.

Loving you gives me hope

To free this misery that I coped

In those times I gave up

You came and I stood up.

Never will I forget

How you always cheer me up

Every time I’m sad

And for that I’m glad.

I dedicate this poem to you

To show how much you meant

To me I love you

My special someone..............

बिछड़ने से पहले

 

हसीन यादों में खोया था बिछड़ने से पहले,

बड़ा खुश-फहम सोया था बिछड़ने से पहले|

वो जिस के हाथ छूने को भी अदबी समझता था,

गले से लग-लग के रोया था बिछड़ने से पहले|

उसे मालूम था शायद जुदाई ही मक़सद है,

वो किन सोचों में खोया था बिछड़ने से पहले|

तुम क्या जानो मैं खुदा से क्या मांगता हूँ

तुम क्या जानो मैं खुदा से क्या मांगता हूँ,
तुम्हारे सलामती की हमेशा दुआ मांगता हूँ||
अगर अनजाने में हो जाये कोई तुमसे ख़ता,
तो दो मुझे उसकी सजा, मैं ये मांगता हूँ||
अगर लग जाये कोई चोट तुमको, या हो जाओ तुम परेशान,
तो मेरे हक में वो सारी तकलीफें मांगता हूँ||
ऐ खुदा मेरे दोस्त को ग़म से दूर रखना,
दिन रात तुम्हारे सारे ग़म मांगता हूँ||
तुम हो हमेशा कामयाब, तुम्हारी हर ख्वाहिश हो पूरी,
बस ये चाहता हूँ और तुम्हारी ख़ुशी मांगता हूँ||
मैं जनता हूँ कि तुम मेरे नहीं हो लेकिन,
मैं हमेशा खुदा से तुम्हारा साथ मांगता हूँ||

बड़ी लंबी कहानी है, तुम्हें लेकिन सुनानी है

बड़ी लंबी कहानी है, तुम्हें लेकिन सुनानी है
तेरा गम जानलेवा, पर तेरी यादें सुहानी हैं

ग़मों को छोड़ हम देते,सुकून को थाम ही लेते
ग़मों से क्या करें लेकिन, बड़ी यारी पुरानी है

ज़मीन को चीरना चाहे, हवा को थामना चाहे
बड़ी पागल सही लेकिन, यही यारो जवानी है

आए गम तू दूर ही रहना, समंदर आंसू का है
बहा ले जाए ना तुझको, ये लहरें भी दीवानी हैं

हर शाम तुमसे मिलने की आदत सी हो गयी,

हर शाम तुमसे मिलने की आदत सी हो गयी,
फिर रफ्ता-रफ्ता तुमसे मोहब्बत सी हो गयी|
शायद ये ताज़ा सी जुदाई का था असर,
हर शक्ल बस कुछ तेरी सूरत सी हो गयी|
एक नाम झिलमिलाने लगा दिल के ताक पर,
एक याद जैसे बाईस-ए-राहत सी हो गयी|
खुद को सजा संवार के रखने का शौक था,

फिर अपने आप से मुझे नफरत सी हो गयी|

मैंने कुछ बयान सफाई में नहीं दिया,
बस चुप रही तो खुद ही वजाहत सी हो गयी|

1000 Paper Cranes

There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl. This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl.

Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, his future didn’t seem too bright, they were very happy together. Until one day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come back. She also told him that she cannot visualize any future for the both of them, so they went their own ways there and then…

Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But when he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to make something out of himself.

Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this guy had set up his own company …

You never fail until you stop trying. One rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain walk ing to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn’t take him long to realize they were his girl’s parents.

With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted them to know that he wasn’t the same any more; he had his own company, car, condo, etc. He made it! What he saw next confused him, the couple was walking towards a cemetery, and so he got out of his car and followed…and he saw his girl, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone and he saw his paper cranes right beside her…

Her parents saw him. He asked them why this had happened. They explained, she did not leave for France at all. She was ill with cancer. She had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not want to be his obstacle… therefore she had chosen to leave him. Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have. She had wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because, if the day comes when fate brings him to her again…he can take some of those back with him…

Once you have loved, you will always love. For what’s in your mind may escape but what’s in your heart will remain forever.

The guy just wept…The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside her knowing you can’t have her, see her or be with her ever again………

Act before it's too late!

10th Grade:
As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me.
She was my so called 'best friend'. I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine.
But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it.
After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before.
I handed them to her.She said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
11th grade:
The phone rang. On the other end, it was her.
She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart.
She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, So I did.
As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine.
After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go home.
She looked at me, said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek..I want to tell her,
I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Senior year:
One fine day she walked to my locker.
"My date is sick" she said. "He's not gonna go". Well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade,
we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as 'best friends'.
So we did.
That night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step.
I stared at her as She smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes.
Then she said- "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.
Graduation:
A day passed, then a week, then a month.
Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma.
I wanted her to be mine-but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her.
Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said- 'you're my best friend, thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.
Marriage:
Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now and drive off to her new life, married to another man.
I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it.
But before she drove away, she came to me and said 'you came !'.
She said 'thanks' and kissed me on the cheek.
I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.
Death:
Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my 'best friend'.
At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years.
This is what it read:
"I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it.
I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.
I wish he would tell me he loved me !"

"I wish I did too." I thought to my self, and I cried.

Girl, you told me...

Girl, you told me you want me,
Girl you told me you miss me,
Girl you told me you love me.
Thinking of you since dawn to dark,
I can feel your smile and sense the spark.
Baby, I knew you were never true.
But I didn't trust you, such time was very few.
I knew I was a fool when I said I love you,
But I felled a much bigger fool when I thought I didn't love you.
Girl, I knew you wont love me some day.
Girl, I knew you wont miss me some day.
Girl, I knew you wont need me some day,
But I never knew you would leave me alone some day.

I know you're there.

I can't see you
I can't smell you
I can't touch you
And I can't feel you
But, somehow, I know you're there.

A distance, so brutally far
A feeling, so uncomfortably near
It fills me with want and desire
And I realize- I must not conspire.

I cannot think and can't imagine
I fear if I do it will make me closer
While you remain out of reach
And probably with someone else...
I know I could be her... if I was there.

I can't see you
I can't smell you
I can't touch you
And I can't feel you
But, somehow, I know you're there.

I long to hear your voice once more.
In the past it filled me with exhilaration
And then left me in despair.
Fill my soul once more with your proper tone
And then jerk it away, as we say, "So long".

I want to know feelings I never felt before
But will I ever experience your gentle touch again?
Or your warm breath against my neck,
As you solemnly whisper, "I LOVE YOU, I NEED YOU."

In the days before I loved you

In the days before I loved you
Things were not so great
The kids at school all laughed at me,
My life was full of hate.

In the days before I loved you
Before our late night talks
I felt my life restrained
Within a little box.

And now that I love you
I look forward to each and every day
You opened up a part of me
That wouldn't have been opened
Any other way..........


Nothing was ever going to be ordinary or the same again.
You could patch up whatever was broken, but if you were the one who had fixed it, you’d always know in your heart where the fault lines lay.

For I miss you so much my dear.....!!!

I am sitting alone wishing you were here.

For I miss you so much my dear,

The sky is soft shade of blue.

It all seems colorless without you.

The clouds are moving here and there,

You and me are apart that's not fair.

The birds are flying and singing songs.

A day without you is very long.

So I am sitting alone wishing you were here.

For I miss you so much my dear.

As the Sun sets in the evening,

Tears fall from my eyes without me knowing

Cool breeze and lovely weather.

Without you this doesn't bother.

I get scared easily at night.

Please come to me and hold me tight.

So I am sitting alone wishing you were here.

For I miss you so much my dear.....!!!

Things aren't always what they seem.

Walking down the hall with her head held high, every hair is in its place, sees a friend and she waves 'Hi', wearing a smile on her perfect face. Friendly, smart, and beautiful, everyone adores this girl. Seemingly content, her head's in a whirl. Inside she's unhappy, and doesn't know why. She lays in her bed at night and cries. She doesn't know what causes the tears; how could this princess have insecurities or fears? She has it all. A pretty smile, many friends,the newest trends, her family has money, she gets good grades, has her own car, and her makeup never fades. Always looking happy, every single day, but inside she's feeling a different way.This is wonder girl, she's everyone's dream, but things aren't always what they seem.

तुझे दिल में बसाना चाहता हूँ

तुझे दिल में बसाना चाहता हूँ
तुझे अपना बनाना चाहता हूँ|

ज़रा भी दूर हो आँखों से जब तू
मैं मिलने का बहाना चाहता हूँ|

मेरी आँखों में है तस्वीर तेरी
जिसे तुझ को दिखाना चाहता हूँ|

जो गहरी झील सी आँखें है तेरी

मैं इन में डूब जाना चाहता हूँ|

जो बरसों की है दूरी तुझमें मुझमें
 मैं लम्हों में मिटाना चाहता हूँ|

घटा सावन की तू, मैं खेत सूखा
मैं प्यास अपनी बुझाना चाहता हूँ|

ग़मों से उमर भर पाला पड़ा है
मैं अब हँसना-हँसाना चाहता हूँ|

ग़ज़ल है तू मेरी, मैं तेरा शायर
तुझे मैं गुनगुनाना चाहता हूँ|

Let him go...

Let him go, get him out of your head, remember you’re not in his.
Forget his birthday, his phone number & the sweet things he said; remember those were lies.
Delete his texts, take his contact out of your phone, remember he’s talking to all those other girls instead.
Quit wishing he’ll come back, stop putting yourself down, remember it’s not your fault; he had no good reason to leave.
Just stop it, stop it all, & erase him from your past.
Block out his name, ignore his texts, plug your ears when someone mentions him because trust me, he’s doing perfectly fine WITHOUT YOU
If you ever want to get over him, cut yourself off.
Take every object & memory you have of him & throw it in the trash.
And then maybe, if you’re lucky, you’ll escape him.

ए खुदा! कर दे उस शख्स के हवाले मुझको,

ए खुदा! कर दे उस शख्स के हवाले मुझको,
के अपने सीने से वो एक बार लगा ले मुझको,
बिखर गया हूँ मैं टूट कर टुकड़ों में,
दे उसे तौफीक के आ के संभाले मुझको|
या तो उसका साथ अता कर मुझको उम्र भर के लिए,
या तू चुपचाप अपने पास बुला ले मुझको|

फिर याद बहुत आते हो

जब ठंडी हवा सिरहा-सिरहा, छूकर बदन को गुजरती है,
कभी रूकती है कभी चलती है, सर-सर साँसे भरती है,
तुम छू कर गुज़र जाते हो, फिर याद बहुत आते हो|
जब पतझड़ के पत्ते उड़-उड़, गीले शीशों से चिपकते हैं,
जब दर्द उभर कर नस-नस में, टूटे शीशों से चटकते हैं,
तुम मन चटका जाते हो, फिर याद बहुत आते हो|
जब ओस के छोटे-छोटे कण, नन्हे बच्चों से उछलते हैं,
जब धूप की किरणों से तपकर, बर्फ के कण पिघलते हैं,
तुम फिर से खो जाते हो, और याद बहुत आते हो|

मेरे दुश्मन तू मेरी दोस्ती को तरसे

मेरे दुश्मन तू मेरी दोस्ती को तरसे
मुझे ग़म देने वाले तू खुशी को तरसे

तू फूल बने पतझड़ का, तुझ पे बहार न आए कभी
मेरी ही तरह तू तड़पे तुझको क़रार न आए कभी
जिये तू इस तरह के ज़िंदगी को तरसे

इतना तो असर कर जाएं मेरी वफ़ाएं ओ बेवफ़ा
जब तुझे याद आएं अपनी जफ़ाएं ओ बेवफ़ा
पशेमां होके रोए, तू हंसी को तरसे

तेरे गुलशन से ज़्यादा, वीरान कोई वीराना न हो
इस दुनिया में कोई तेरा, अपना तो क्या, बेगाना न हो
किसी का प्यार क्या तू, बेरुख़ी को तरसे|

--आनंद बख्शी

ऐसा कभी ना करना

तुम रूठ जाओ मुझसे, ऐसा कभी ना करना,
मैं एक नज़र को तरसूँ, ऐसा कभी ना करना||
मैं पूछ-पूछ हारूँ, सौ-सौ सवाल करके,
तुम कुछ जवाब ना दो, ऐसा कभी ना करना||
मुझसे ही मिलके हसना, मुझसे ही मिलके रोना,
मुझसे बिछड़ के जी लो, ऐसा कभी ना करना||
तुम चाँद बनके रहना, मैं देखता रहूँगा,
किसी रोज़ तुम ना निकलो, ऐसा कभी ना करना||
तुम चले जाओ जब भी, तो देखूं तुम्हारा रास्ता,
तुम लौट के ना आओ, ऐसा कभी ना करना||

I love you that much

Tonight when you look up at the stars,
Try and count them all,
I miss you that much..

When you go to the beach,
Try to count every grain of sand,
I trust you that much..

When you go in the water..
Try and count each drop of water in the ocean,
I need you that much..

When your heart beat..
Try and count each and every beat for a day,
I love you that much!!

Still remind me..

I’ve tried to spend my time Alone...
Tried to play some songs...
But every song still reminds me of you...
Every sound still reminds me of you...
I try to look for something that to hold on to..
Because I’m lost, I’m numb without you!!!
I tried to find some ways to free me from this blue
Cause everything still reminds me of you.

Best Thing I Never Had - Beyoncé

What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)

There was a time
I thought, that you did everything right
No lies, no wrong
Boy I, must've been outta my mind
So when I think of the time that I almost loved you
You showed your ass and I saw the real you

Thank God you blew it
Thank God I dodged the bullet
I'm so over you
So baby good lookin' out

[Chorus]
I wanted you bad
I'm so through with it
Cuz honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
You turned out to be the best thing I never had
And I'm gon' always be the best thing you never had
I bet it sucks to be you right now

So sad, you're hurt
Boo hoo, oh, did you expect me to care?
You don't deserve my tears
I guess that's why they ain't there
When I think that there was a time that I almost loved you
You showed your ass and I saw the real you

Thank God you blew it
Thank God I dodged the bullet
I'm so over you
Baby good lookin' out

[Chorus]
I wanted you bad
I'm so through with it
Cuz honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
I said, you turned out to be the best thing I never had
And I'll never be the best thing you never had
Oh baby I bet sucks to be you right now

I know you want me back
It's time to face the facts
That I'm the one that's got away
Lord knows that it would take another place, another time, another world, another life
Thank God I found the good in goodbye

[Chorus]
I used to want you so bad
I'm so through it that
Cuz honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
You turned out to be the best thing I never had
And I will always be the, best thing you never had.
Best thing you never had!

I used to want you so bad
I'm so through it that
Cause honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
Oh you turned out to be the best thing I never had
Oh I will never be the best thing you never had
Oh baby, I bet it sucks to be you right now

Goes around, comes back around
Goes around, comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
Goes around, comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
Goes around, comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now.

लालायित अधरों से जिसने

व्यर्थ सुखा डाली जीवन की उसने मधुमय मधुशाला।।१८।

हर आरज़ू पे दिल मचलता है

हर आरज़ू पे दिल मचलता है,
हर नींद में इक ख़्वाब पलता है !
वो करीब है इतना
कि उसकी हर सांस का अहसास मेरी हर सांस में होता है,
फिर भी न जाने क्यूँ-
उसे हासिल करना अब भी इक ख़्वाब ही लगता है,
पर ये दिल तो दिल है जो, अब भी हर आरज़ू पे मचलता है !!

कुछ अपने ज़ख़्म की हालत सुनाओ कैसा है

कहा तो था के बहुत सख़्त मरहाले होंगे,
यह मेरी ज़ात से तुमको लगाव कैसा है

शदीद कर्ब में जीना भी रास है तुमको,
तुम्हारे शौक़ का यह चल चलाव कैसा है

तलाश कर ही लो मिल जाएगा कोई तुमको,
मेरी ही सिम्त तुम्हारा झुकाव कैसा है

श्रृंगार हुस्न की फ़ितरत रही है सदियों से,
तुम्हारे इश्क़ में आख़िर बनाव कैसा है

वो जिस शहर में बसर कर रहे हो उम्र 'फिगार',

मुहब्बतों  का वहाँ रख रखाव कैसा है||

--फिगार

Hope

Hope is knowing that a positive outcome awaits.
Hope is not only expecting a dream to come true,
But also having a deep assurance
That it's within your reach.

Hope is saying you can.
Hope is knowing that you can improve
And that you always get better with practice.

Hope is knowing that you can achieve your goals
Through hard work and persistence.

Hope is looking to the future with joy
And having an expectation of
Better things to come.

Hope is the knowledge that life is everlasting,
And that miracles happen every day.

Hope is something that never abandons you.
Even when your life is filled with
Sadness and disappointment,
A spark remains inside to help you
Get through the rough times.

Hope is one of God's greatest gifts to you,
Because it's the magic that inspires you
To keep trying, learning, loving, and living..
and most of all Surviving.
