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
