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

You are my sunshine.

You are my shining star.

TERE BIN AB CHUP CHUP REHNA

Bin tere ab chup chup rehna acha lagta hai,

Khamosh reh ke is dard ko sehna acha lagta ha

Be The Best Of Whatever You Are

INN AANSUON ME UTAR AYA HAI

Aasman mei iss aadhe-adhure chand ke sath

Dil ke dar-o-deewar mei dard utar aaya hai

khoobsurat dosti ka rishta

कहते हैं कि दोस्ती का रिश्ता,
No Othe Friend

No other friend is quite like you.

No other friend could do exactly what you do.

YE DIL MERA TUJH PAR

दिल के इस दर्द को क्या अंजाम दूँ

Par bolo toote pyaalon par

Jeevan mein madhu ka pyaala tha

 

Tumne tan man mein daala tha
