When I Was One-and-Twenty

When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
‘Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Did you know?Explore Trending and Topic pages for more stories like this.
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free.’
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me. When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,
‘The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;
’Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue.’
And I am two-and-twenty,
And oh, ’tis true, ’tis true.

i flirt with you
i flirt with you because i need
slipping in and out of conversation
making you wonder,

APNA HAR DARD CHHUPAYA

Zindgi se apna har dard chupa lena

Khushi na sahi gam gale laga lena

The time will come

when, with elation,

you will greet yourself arriving
