A bouquet of heart beats

दिल की दहलीज़ लाँघ कर,

जब से तुम मेरी ज़िन्दगी में आई हो,

ज़िन्दगी भी मुझसे बड़े अदब,

और तहजीब से पेश आई है.

बहुत खलता है खालीपन इस सीने में,

तो इसे धुएँ से भर दिया,

नींद नहीं मुकम्मल इन आँखों को,

तो इन्हें ख्वाबों से भर दिया.

दिल में रखूँगा जज़्बात अपने,

ज़ुबान तक नहीं लाऊँगा,

देखी है तुमने बेखुदी मेरी,

अब तो बेरुखी ही दिखाऊंगा.

तेरे नर्म बदन की गर्म छाँव तले,

सुलगते रहे रात भर,

गुज़र गई शब थोड़ी ही देर में,

आँख खुली तो देखा रूबरू है सेहर.

कुछ ख़लिश हो सीने में,

तो बस हम से ही कहना,

ख़फा भी हो जाऊं तुमसे,

मेरे दिल में ही महफूज़ रहना.

तेरे इश्क से रोशन रूह मेरी,

फैली खुशियों की धूप,

जित देखूँ उत देखूँ तुझको,

तेरा इश्क नचाए खूब.

ख़्वाबों के फर्श पर,

ख़यालों के पाँव फिसलते रहे,

तेरे फिराक में शब् भर,

सेहर तक मचलते रहे.

बिखरी बिखड़ी सी थी मेरी ज़िन्दगी,

तेरी बाँहों में आ कर सिमटने लगी,

ग़म-ए- ज़िन्दगी भी रूह के हाथों से

रेत बन कर वाकई फिसलने लगी...

कुछ तुम कहो कुछ हम कहें

कुछ तुम कहो कुछ हम कहें,

ये फासले यूँ ही कम करें,

कुछ तुम कहो कुछ हम कहें,

अब दरम्यान न कोई गम रहे.

जब जब गम के बादल बरसे,

क्या दोगे मेरा साथ?

तेरा ही था, तेरा ही हूँ,

क्यूँ सोचे ऐसी बात....

तुम बिन धड़कन सूनी सी है,

सीने पर रख दे हाथ,

आ लग जा सीने से तू,

दे दे हाथों में हाथ...

मेरे ग़म से रोई धरती,

देखो ये ओस की बूँद,

आ बस जा नयनों में तू,

आँखों को लूँ मैं मूँद...

तेरे इश्क से रौशन रूह मेरी,

बिखड़ी खुशियों की धूप,

साथ मेरे जब तक है तू,

मैं हूँ ग़म से महफूज़...

बिन देखे बेचैन रहूँ,

देखूँ तो आये सुकून,

चाहूँ खुद से ज्यादा तुझको,

तेरा इश्क नचाए खूब...

गीताँजली

जब लगा की थक कर हुआ चूर,

पथ मेरा मुझसे हुआ दूर,

हर काम रुका, पाथेय चूका,

थी यही नियती, अति कठिन- क्रूर;

अब कहीं किसी कोने में जा,

करना होगा कहीं ओढ़,

वे दीन हीन से जीर्ण वसन;

तब देख रहा यह चकित आज,

तेरी लीला का नहीं पार,

फिर धार उमर आई कोई,

मुझमे बहती नूतन बयार;

जब गई पुरानी भाषा मर,

नव गीत उठे छाती में भर,

जब पूरा हुआ पुराना पथ,

आये नव प्रांतर,क्षितिज उभर..

कल रात मैं कहाँ था?

क्या ख़लिश थी , ना ख़बर कि,

क्यूँ कब से मैं ख़फा था,

क्या ज़हन म चल रहा था,

कल रात मैं कहाँ था?

x

वो लिबास सा लिपट कर,

क्यूँ लिहाफ़ सा लगा था?

मैं मरीज़ खुद दवा था,

कल रात मैं कहाँ था?

x

थी वो हूक हसरतों की,

सब धुँध से धुला था,

क्यूँ धूप में धरा था,

कल रात मैं कहाँ था?

x

क्यूँ खुली थी खिड़कियाँ भी,

कब लौ वो बुझ गया था?

मैं आप जल रहा था,

कल रात मैं कहाँ था?

खुद को जताया जाए...

चलो आज...
किसी सोये हुए रिश्ते को जगाया जाए,
किसी का दिल बहलाया जाए,
किसी का दिन बनाये जाए,
किसी को कुछ बताया जाए.


जो दूर हो उसे पास बुलाया जाए,
जो पास हो उसे ख़ास बनाया जाए,
सूखे किसी दिल को भिगाया जाए,
किसी पर तो प्यार लुटाया जाए.


जो रोता हो उसे हंसाया जाए,
जो रूठा हो उसे मनाया जाए,
किसी से सुन किसी को सुनाया जाए,
ग़मों को भूलकर थोड़ा मुस्कुराया जाए.

किसी का नंबर मिलाया जाए,
किसी का फ़ोन खनकाया जाए,
दिलों के फासलों को मिटाया जाए,
फिर एक नई दुनिया बनाया जाए,

चलो आज, खुद को जताया जाए...

Tagore's Gitanjali

"My song has put off her adornments.

She has no pride of dress and decoration.

Ornaments would mar our union;

they would come between thee and me;

their jingling would drown thy whispers."

"My poet's vanity dies in shame before thy sight.

O master poet, I have sat down at thy feet.

Only let me make my life simple and straight,

like a flute of reed for thee to fill with music."

Tagore again

Go not to the temple to put flowers upon the feet of God,

First fill your own house with the Fragrance of love...

Go not to the temple to light candles before the altar of God,

First remove the darkness of sin from your heart...

Go not to the temple to bow down your head in prayer,

First learn to bow in humility before your fellowmen...

Go not to the temple to pray on bended knees,

First bend down to lift someone who is down-trodden. ..

Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness for your sins,

First forgive from your heart those who have sinned against you.

English Version of the immortal words.

If they answer not to thy call walk alone,

If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall, O thou of evil luck,
Open thy mind and speak out alone.

If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness, O thou of evil luck,
Trample the thorns under thy tread, and along the blood-lined track travel alone.

If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm, O thou of evil luck,with the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart and let it burn alone.

Do i even need to name the author?

Tagore's words

Love adorns itself;
it seeks to prove inward joy by outward beauty.

Love does not claim possession,
but gives freedom.

Love is an endless mystery,
for it has nothing else to explain it.

Love's gift cannot be given,
it waits to be accepted.

Rabindra Nath Thakur

I know you're there

I know you’re out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice

I know I'll find you somehow

And somehow I'll return again to you

x

The mist is lifting slowly

I can see the way ahead

And I’ve left behind the empty streets

That once inspired my life

And the strength of the emotion

Is like thunder in the air

coz the promise that we made each other

Haunts me to the end

x

The secret of your beauty

And the mystery of your soul

I’ve been searching for in everyone I meet

And the times I’ve been mistaken

Its impossible to say

And the grass is growing

Underneath our feet

x

From the words that I remember

From my childhood still are true

That there’s none so blind

As those who will not see

And to those who lack the courage

And say it’s dangerous to try

Well they just don’t know

That love eternal will not be denied

x

Yes I know its going to happen

I can feel you getting near

And soon well be returning

To the fountain of our youth

And if you wake up wondering

In the darkness I’ll be there

My arms will close around you

And protect you with the truth

Moody Blues

Love as you see it...

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel:

U know u have found love, when u want to be ur best, when u push urself harder to live up to someone. And that someone is the person who is gonna make u a better person than what u can ever be by urself. Someone who builds or breaks ambition inside u by his or her presence or absence.


Someone can walk into your life and it is not until after they walk out that you wished they were back:

I had heard somewhere that sometimes we get so busy gathering stones that we miss the diamond. We take people for granted. Its only when they go, we realize that they have left an indelible mark in our lives.


We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love:

You know you love someone when you want them to be happy even if their happiness means that you're not part of it. People we loved always remain sacred and holy to us. We stand by them when someone speaks trash bout them. We go to any length to maintain the sanctity of our emotions that once prevailed in us.It's amazing how someone can break you heart or tread on your dreams and trample them underfoot, but you still love them with all the little pieces that remain.

I want you

The guilty undertaker sighs

The lonesome organ grinder cries

The silver saxophones say I should refuse you

The cracked bells and washed-out horns

Blow into my face with scorn

But it's not that way

I wasn't born to lose you

I want you, I want you I want you so bad

Honey, I want you.

The drunken politician leaps

Upon the street where mothers weep

And the saviors who are fast asleep

They wait for you

And I wait for them to interrupt

Me drinkin' from my broken cup

And ask for me Open up the gate for you

I want you, I want you Yes, I want you so bad

Honey, I want you.

Now all my fathers they've gone down

True love they've been without it

But all their daughters put me down

'Cause I don't think about it.

Well, I return to the Queen of Spades

And talk with my chambermaid

She knows that I'm not afraid

To look at her She is good to me

And there's nothing she doesn't see

She knows where I'd like to be

But it doesn't matter I want you, I want you

Yes, I want you so badHoney, I want you.

Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit

He spoke to me, I took his flute

No, I wasn't very cute to him - Was I ?

But I did though because he lied

Because he took you for a ride

And because time was on his side

And because I ..I want you, I want you

Yes, I want you so bad Honey, I want you.

Bob Dylan

तुझ पे दिल कुर्बान

ए मेरे प्यारे वतन ए मेरे बिछड़े चमन,

तुझ पे दिल कुर्बान.

तू ही मेरी आरजू, तू ही मेरी आबरू,

तू ही मेरी जान.

तेरे दामन से जो आये, उन हवाओं को सलाम,

चूम लूँ मैं उस जुबान को जिस पे आये तेरा नाम,

सब से प्यारी सुबह तेरी , सब से रंगीन तेरी शाम;

तुझ पे दिल कुर्बान.

माँ का दिल बनके कभी सीने से लग जाता हैं तू,

और कभी नन्ही सी बेटी बन के याद आता हैं तू,

जितना याद आता हैं मुझको उतना तड़पाता हैं तू;

तुझ पे दिल कुर्बान.

छोड़कर तेरी ज़मीन को दूर आ पहुचे हैं हम,

फिर भी हैं यही तमन्ना तेरे जर्रों की कसम,

हम जहां पैदा हुए, उस जगह ही निकले ये दम;

तुझ पे दिल कुर्बान.

रूठ के हमसे कहीं

This is a heart smasher!

and the picturisation really complements the song.

रूठ के हमसे कहीं जब चले जाओगे तुम

ये ना सोचा था कभी इतने याद आओगे तुम

मैं तो ना चला था दो कदम भी तुम बिन

फिर भी मेरा बचपन यही समझा हर दिन

छोड़ के मुझे भला अब कहाँ जाओगे तुम

ये ना सोचा था कभी इतने याद आओगे तुम

बातों कभी हाथों से भी मारा है तुम्हें

सदा येही कहके ही पुकारा है तुम्हें

क्या कर लोगे मेरा जो बिगड़ जाओगे तुम

ये ना सोचा था कभी इतने याद आओगे तुम

देखो मेरे आँसू येही करते हैं पुकार

आओ चले आओ मेरे भाई मेरे यार

पोंछने आँसू मेरे क्या नहीं आओगे तुम

ये ना सोचा था कभी इतने याद आओगे तुम

आज फिर आप की कमी सी है

शाम से आँख में नमी सी है
आज फिर आप की कमी सी है

दफन कर दो हमें के साँस मिले

नब्ज़ कुछ देर से थमी सी है

वक़्त रहता नहीं कहीं टिक कर
इस की आदत भी आदमी सी है

कोई रिश्ता नहीं रहा फिर भी
इक तस्लीम लाज़मी सी है

Romantic Dialogues...the best of 'em

My Best Friend's Wedding
If you love someone you say it, you say it right then, out loud,
or the monment....just paasses you by.

Phenomenon
George: Hey, would you love me for the rest of my life?
Lace: No...m gonna love you for the rest of mine.

Notting Hill
I'm also just a girl standing in front of a guy asking him to love her.

The Bridges of Madison County
I dont want to need you coz I can't have you.

Jerry Maguire
I love you. You complete me.

Runaway Bride
If I don't ask you to be mine I'll regret it for the rest of my life.

The English Patient
I promise I'll come back for you. I promise I'll never leave you.

As Good As It Gets
Melvin: You want me to be a better man.
Carol: That's may be the best compliment of my life.

When Harry Met Sally
I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because
when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody,
you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

Love

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.

Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;

For love is sufficient unto love.

think not you can direct the course of love, for love,

if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.

But if you love and must needs have desires,

let these be your desires:

To melt and be like a running brook

that sings its melody to the night.

To know the pain of too much tenderness.

To be wounded by your own understanding of love;

And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

To wake at dawn with a winged heart

and give thanks for another day of loving;

To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;

To return home at eventide with gratitude;

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart

and a song of praise upon your lips.

Khalil Gibran

Where The Mind is Without Fear

Where the mind is without fear

and the head is held high

Where knowledge is free

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments

By narrow domestic walls

Where words come out from the depth of truth

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way

Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit

Where the mind is led forward by thee

Into ever-widening thought and action

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,

let my country awake

xxxx

Rabindranath Tagore

The Road Not Taken

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood,

and I — I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound's the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

ससुराल गेंदा फूल

The newsest flavour in town- rasik and rustic

सैयाँ छेड़ देवे, ननद चुटकी लेवे,

ससुराल गेंदा फूल,

सास गारी देवे , देवर समझा लेवे,

ससुराल गेंदा फूल,

छोरा बाबुल का अंगना भावे डेरा पिया का हो...

सैयाँ हैं व्यपारी , चले हैं परदेस,

सूरतियाँ निहारु , जियरा भारी होवे,

बुशर्ट पहिने , खाई के बीड़ा पान,

पूरे रायपुर से अलग है, सैयाँ जी की शान,

ससुराल गेंदा फूल

Movie-Delhi-6; Lyricist-Prasoon Joshi

जाने तू मेरी क्या है,

For all of us who've missed love at some point of time. Late realisation can at times be the cause of permanent emptiness of soul.

जाने तू मेरी क्या है, जाने मैं तेरा क्या था,

साथ तेरे हर पल, साथ हर लम्हा था..

जाने कैसी कसक है, जाने कैसी तड़प है,

क्यूँ ये आँखें नाम है, जाने कैसा .. ग़म है..

है दोस्ती हमको यकीन तो, दोस्ती और कुछ भी नहीं था,

पर कैसे तुझको बाँटे , क्यूँ चुभते हैं पैरों में काँटें,

जाना दिल जाना, कैसे मैंने ना जाना के प्यार यही है,

ये जाने तू या जाने ना.. जाना दिल जाना,

कैसे तूने ना जाना के प्यार तो है,ये जाने तू या जाने ना

क्यूँ ऐसे चुभती है तुझसे दूरी , क्यूँ लगती है ज़िन्दगी यूँ अधूरी

छुआ किसी ने तुझको तो लगा के, दिल में किसी ने जैसे आग लगा के...

दुनिया जलादी है.. मेरी

xxxx

जाने तू मेरा क्या है, जाने तू मेरा क्या था

तू ही मेरा हर पल, तू ही हर लम्हा था

जाने कैसी कशिश है, जाने कैसी ख़लिश है

क्यूँ ये साँस थमी है, आँखों में क्यूँ नमी है

है दोस्ती हमको यकीन था, दोस्ती और कुछ भी नहीं था

है कैसा ये दर्द नया सा क्यूँ दिल लगता टूटा टूटा सा

जाना दिल जाना, कैसे मैंने ना जाना के प्यार यही है,
ये जाने तू या जाने ना.. जाना दिल जाना,
कैसे तूने ना जाना के प्यार तो है,ये जाने तू या जाने ना

होती थी तुझ से सुबह हर दिन की

तेरी दोपहर से शाम की धुन थी

होती थी रातें तेरी बातों में खोये तेरे ख्यालों में जागे और सोये ..

तू जो नहीं तो क्या रहा

Lyricist- Prasson Joshi

I believe

I believe
That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other.

And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do love each other.

I believe
That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I believe
That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while

and you must forgive them for that.

I believe
That true friendship continues to grow,

even over the longest distance.

Same goes for true love.

I believe
That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I believe
That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I believe
That you should always leave loved ones with loving words.

It may be the last time you see them .

I believe
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I believe
That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I believe
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I believe
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done,

regardless of the consequences.

I believe
That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe
That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I believe
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down,

will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe
That sometimes when I'm angry Ihave the right to be angry,

but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I believe
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had

and what you've learned from them and less to do with

how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I believe
That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.

sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe
That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe
That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,

but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe
That you shouldn't be so eager to find out asecret.

It could change your life forever.

I believe
Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I believe
That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

I believe
That even when you think you have no more to give,

when a friend cries out to you -you will find the strength to help.

I believe

That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
