How do I love yew


How do I love you? Let me count the ways
I love you to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.

I love you to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light

I love you freely, as men strive for right
I love you purely, as they turn from praise

I love you with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith

I love you with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love you with the breath

Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose
I shall but love you better after death ..

Ek Shakhs


Ek shakhs ko dekh tha taroon ki terhan hum nay

Ek shakhs ko Chaha tha apno ki terhan hum nay

Ek shakhs ko samjha tha pholon ki terhan hum nay

Woh shakhs qayamat tha

kya us ki karein batein ??

Din us k liye paida aur us ki hi thi ratein

kabh milta kisi say tha, hum say thi mulaqatein

rang us ka shahabi tha zulfoon main thi mehkarein

ankhein thi kay jadoo tha palkein thi kay talwarein

dushman bhi aggar dekhay so jann say dil harein

kuch tum say woh milta tha, baton main shabahat thi

han tum sa hi lagta tha shokhi mein shararat main

lagta bhi tumhi say tha

dasturay mohabbat main woh shakhs humein ek din

apno ki terhan bhula, taroon ki terhan dhuba, pholon ki terhan tota

phir hath na aaya woh, hum nay bohat dondha ..

tum kis liye chonkay ho ?? janna! Tum kis liye chonkay ho ??

kabh ziqar tumhara hai ??

kabh tum say taqaza hai ??

kabh tum say shikayat hai ??

bas ek taza hikayat hai

sun lo tau inayat hai

Ek shakhs ko dekh tha taroon ki terhan hum nay

Ek shakhs ko Chaha tha apno ki terhan hum nay

Ek shakhs ko samjha tha pholon ki terhan hum nay

Heartfelt Cry


Oh gentle winds 'neath moonlit skies
Do not you hear my heartfelt cries ??

Below the branches, here about
Do not you sense my fear and doubt ??
Side glistening rivers, sparkling streams
Do not you hear my woeful screams ??

Upon the meadows, touched with dew
Do not you see my hearts a'skew ??
Beneath the thousand twinkling stars
Do not you feel my jagged scars ??

Seek not my mournful heart kind breeze
For you'll not find it 'mongst these trees

It's scattered 'cross the moonlit skies
Accompanied by heartfelt sighs
It's drifting o're the gentle rain
A symbol of my silent pain

It's buried 'neath the meadow fair
Conjoined with all the sorrow there
It's lost among the stars this night
Too far to ease my quiet fright

No gentle winds, seek not my heart
For simply ... it has torn apart ..

Meri Kahani


yeh ankhon ki nami aik kahani batati hai meri
par us kahani ko sunane mein jann jati hai meri

iis ko aik kahani kahon yaan taavel silsila-e-zindagi meri
ek umar guzari thi mein nay banane mein kahani meri

khushiyan, ansoo, ghum, umedien aur pyar tha kahani mein meri
par lamha bhi chota para jabh bigharne per ayi kahani meri

ab tau na neend hai aur na hi koi khuwab hai ankhon mein meri
ab aggar kuch bacha hai tau woh hai sirf ankhoon mein mani meri ..

Bebasee


Woh kehti hai kay us ki zindagi mein meri jo mojodagi hai

Us say woh uljhan mein par jati hai

ya Allah aik paal kay liye khudkhushi ko halal qarar de dey

Kay mujh say mere mehbob ki uljhan dekhi nahi jaati ..

Remember


I sit in the park where i dwell
For this girl i love so well
She took my heart away from me
Now she wants to set me free

I see a guy on her lap
She says things to him she never said to me
I ran home to cry on my bed
Not a word to father was said

Father came home late that night
He looked at me from left to right
He saw me hanging from a rope
He took his knife to cut me down
And on my dress a note was found

Dig my grave, Dig it deep
Dig my grave, From head to feet
And on the top place a dove
And remember this, i died for love
