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

TUMHARI MUSKAN HO MERA JIWAN

जिस क्षण तुम मुझे स्वयं से अलग करो,

Each day we wake is such a gift;

No moment's guaranteed.

Tomorrow isn't promised,

No Such Thing As Happy Endings

The first night they meet

He knew it to be true

This girl who lied before him

boyfriens ki marzi kaa intzaar

उनकी मर्ज़ी हो तो वो हम से बात करते है&

Farz hai jo umar bhar nibhana hai

सुख-दुख के अफसाने का

ये राज है सदा

tumse jab bate shuru hui

उस एक दिन जब बातें शुरू हुई तुमसे लगा

KUCH LOG KEHTE HAI

कुछ कहते हैं मजबूर हैं हम

उस वक़्त

KHAYALO ME SIRF TUM HO

आज रात फिर ख़यालो में तुम हो,

आज फिर

I have no name
Until you name me.
I have no form
Until you shape me.
I don't exist

Ye tum ne kaisa rabta rakha ?

Ye tum ne kaisa rabta rakha,

na qareeb aaye, na fasla rakha.
