One day I wrote her name upon the strand


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

One day I wrote her name upon the strand,
But came the waves and washed it away:
Again I wrote it with a second hand,
But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.
Vain man, said she, that dost in vain assay
A mortal thing so to immortalize!
For I myself shall like to this decay,
And eek my name be wiped out likewise.
Not so (quoth I), let baser things devise
To die in dust, but you shall live by fame:
My verse your virtues rare shall eternize,
And in the heavens write your glorious name;
Where, whenas death shall all the world subdue,
Our love shall live, and later life renew.

-Edmund Spenser

Saanso mei basne laga hai tu

Neendo mei jagane laga hai tu

Duao mei aane laga hai

tumhen har dafe manana

कसम से मेरे अंदर कुछ तो कमाल कर गया बह

tu jo kehde khuda se

Tu jo keh de to khuda se bhi, lad jaye hum

Teri khushi ke liye marna pade, mar jaye hum

Friendship After Love

After the fierce midsummer all ablaze

Has burned itself to ashes, and expires

In

If You Believe Than Achieve

When you proceed,

Some will say it can't be done

And that there is no need
