If I Were Her Lover

I

If I were her lover,
I'd wade through the clover
Over the fields before
The gate that leads to her door;
Over the meadows,
To wait, 'mid the shadows,
The shadows that circle her door,
For the heart of my heart and more.
And there in the clover
Close by her,
Over and over
I'd sigh her:
"Your eyes are as brown
As the Night's, looking down
On waters that sleep
With the moon in their deep" . . .
If I were her lover to sigh her.

II

If I were her lover,
I'd wade through the clover
Over the fields before
The lane that leads to her door;
I'd wait, 'mid the thickets,
Or there by the pickets,
White pickets that fence in her door,
For the life of my life and more.
I'd lean in the clover—
The crisper
For the dews that are over—
And whisper:
"Your lips are as rare
As the dewberries there,
As ripe and as red,
On the honey-dew fed" . . .
If I were her lover to whisper.

III

If I were her lover,
I'd wade through the clover
Over the field before
The pathway that leads to her door;
And watch, in the twinkle
Of stars that sprinkle
The paradise over her door,
For the soul of my soul and more.
And there in the clover
I'd reach her;
And over and over
I'd teach her—
A love without sighs,
Of laughterful eyes,
That reckoned each second
The pause of a kiss,
A kiss and . . . that is
If I were her lover to teach her.

This Is Giving Up

So I guess I could lie and say I tried,

But the truth I can't deny,

I loved you,

Bestest Best Friend Forever And Always

You are there when I need you

You always have my back

You uplift me when I'm sad<

taqdeer hi bewafa hai

Ishq karna toh lagta hai jaise

Maut se bhi badi saza hain,

Kya kisi se shikwa kar

Just Another Year

The years are taking their toll.

Another birthday has now arrived.

People you mee

Hurt And Pain

Hurt and pain.

There's much to gain.

Peace and love.

It's all the same.

You Will Never See Me Fall

You may see me struggle,

but you won't see me fall.

Regardless if I'm weak or not

Love Throughout Time

Time is like the wind,

Slow and smooth.

Time can change swiftly,

Fast and

Swatantrata ka samay ab aaya hai !

Uth mere veer javan uth,

Uth mere veer javan uth,

Lahlahaati is dharti me aaj,

na hi pyaar badla hai or na hi jazbad

ना ही दिल बदला है मेरा,

ना ही मेरे ज़à

Mera Pyara Desh

Pyara pyara mera desh,

saja-sanwaara mera desh.

Duniya jis par garv kare--
