Woh Tera Ankh Bhar Kay Mujhay Dekhna

Woh tera ankh bhar kay mujhay dekhna,
Woh tera dekhna he kamal tha,
Meri justajo kay ahsas par,
Tera lamss bhi tu baymisal tha,

Meray saray jazboon ki dilkashi,
Teray ashiyan pay aa kay simat gai,
Gar main ruk na jata iss taraf,
Tu meri hasti pay pher zawal tha,

Teray husan ki sari tajaliyan,
Kaisy ho gayen mujh pay mahrban,
Meray zehan kay neha khanoo main,
Yehi chupa howa aik sawal tha,

Woh jo chaltay chaltay thy mil gaye,
Thy meri chahatoon kay silsalaye
Jo tera sang na milta mujhy,
Tu pher jena mera muhal tha.

Kachi Umer

kachi umer mein jajbaat the 
kachi umer mein umeed 
kachi umer mein khaab the 
kachi umer mein dil khush rehta tha 
kachi umer mein chehra hasta 
kachi umer mein dunian khoobsurat thi 
kachi umer mein josh 
kachi umer mein zindagi zindagi lagti thi 
kachi umer mein rishte khoobsurat 
kachi umer mein sari dunia apni lgti thi 
kachi umer mein rossein the
 kachi umer pe pyar 
kachi umer mein ishq ho gyea 
kachi umer mein ishq ki pyas thi 
kachi umer mein ishq mein har sans thi 
kachi umer mein chaand chaand ni mehboob ka chehra tha 
kachi umer mein sapno jaisi dunia thi bekhabar haqikat se pare..  .dunian dari se na kabi dare....
kachi umer mein dost dosty ka ehsas dete the 
jaise hi umer dalne lgi jajbaat kya hai har dhadkan samjhne lgi 
jaise hi umer pakne lgi har sans main ni aaugi kehne lgi 
jaise hi umer sal gujar gai harpal har ehsas zindagi haar gai 
jaise hi din raat chhut te gaye har jajbaat dhere dhere tut te gaye 
jaise hi raatein kat ti gai.....har pyar ki ghadi nafrat mein batt ti gai...
jaise log naye milte gaye har rishte alvidah kehte gaye.
jaise hi ishq mein padte gaye..dard se gujarte gaye 
jaise hi ishq mein gujarte gaye.ankh se aashoon behte gaye 
jaise hi pyar ke chehre dikhte gaye ishq ke jajbaat sare mit  te gaye 
jaise hi hum badte gaye waise khudki awaj sun na chhodte gaye 
jaise hi dard badte gaye hum dunian se alag hote gaye 
khudko bhoolte gaye jajbaat mitate gaye 
jhutha mutha hsate gaye 
khali khali ho gai zindagi eskadar din raat gujarte gaye 
dard se badta gyea sine mein dil 
dardse badti gai jine mein tadap 
kash abh sochte hai hum ishq na kerte 
hum mohabbat na kerte 
na tutte itna na ehsas chut te itna 
kash jee sakte auroo ki tarah 
kash jee sakte dil se 
har ehsas se 
har jajbaat se 
har khaab se 
har umeed se 
har arjoo se 
har khushi se

Hidden Love

Nikal k dil ko sine se, rakh du Teri kadmo me,
Dar h k tu ise kahi kuchal na de,
Khwahise mohabbat to tere dil me b h,
Dar h k tu ise kahi badal na de.

Majboor h mera dil apni aadto se, 
Tujhe dekh har baar fishalta h,
Tu dur rah meri nazro se,
zra iss dil ko to sambhalne de.

Ishqe izaazat dil ko hamne naa di, 
ye to teri adaaon ka maara h,
Tere pyar me mere bahke kadam,
Aur mera dil bechara h,
Sambhal leta iss dil ko,
phr socha thora tere pyar me ise jalne de.

Nazro ne dekha aur ho gai mujhse pyar ki khata,
Zra in nazro ko inke khata ki sza to Milne de.

Dil ka kya kasoor tha jb tumse nazre mili,
Dil toota kai baar, jb szaae mohabbat mili,
Rok leta dil ko apne, 
phr socha zraa mohabbat me iss dil ko pighalne de.

Nikal k dil ko sine se, rakh du Teri kadmo me,
Dar h k tu ise kahi kuchal na de.


Cheesed-Off Charlie

It bloats me out and makes me wheeze;
I have an allergy to cheese
Which makes it hard to find a mate
For reasons I shall now relate.

A simple sniff of curds and whey
Provokes an itchy rash display.
So cheesaholics need to know
That for my sake, the cheese must go!

This ultimatum has a flaw
For cheese exerts a pungent draw.
So far, I’ve lost my sweet Viola
To a tasty ‘Gorgonzola’.

Then sweet Suzanne from ‘gai Paris’    *        
Preferred a mild and creamy ‘Brie’.
And as for fit and feisty Hedda;
She deserted me for ‘Cheddar’.

All dreams that Kate would see it through
Were melted by a cheese fondue,
And hopes were shattered too when Claire
Would not forsake her smooth gruyère.

The list is long – they came and went
Preferring taste to sentiment.
And even ‘Stinking Bishop’ won
The heart of Rose : I felt outdone!

But now at last, I’ve found my match;
A truly ‘made-in-heaven’ catch.
It’s serious! I’m on my knees!
She’s vegan and averse to cheese!

God, the Lord, reigns* graciously omnipotent
Offering willingly His compassion-wealth
Directing hearts toward His joyous peace…

Redeemer of souls, granting life eternal
Empowering salvation of assurance-echo
Illumining minds against falsity’s blur
Guarding with truths, biblically sound
Nurturing faith against doubt-sink
Satisfying spirits upon contentment gain…

Forever, the Almighty prevails, loving us so
Opening to us heaven along blessings’ flow
Restoring our lives with forgiveness bliss…
Enabling faithful stewardship of trust-climb
Verily upholding us by His omniscience
Everlasting is His might, securing all of His…
Resting in His grace, we thank Him Who knows best.

Premium Member Fr - Je m'adresse au mystere du temps

Je m’adresse au mystère du temps,

Es-tu mon ennemi ou mon meilleur ami? Je n’ai jamais réalisé avant ce moment que les enfants n’ont pas de conflit avec toi.  On n’entend jamais un enfant se plaindre qu’il n’a pas suffisamment de temps.  C’est donc évident que c’est l’Adulte en moi qui a tous les problèmes.

Je me demande d’où vient la notion que 24 heures ne me sont pas suffisantes et que j’ai le droit de me sentir ingrate.  J’ai tenté à plusieurs reprises à m’établir des objectifs, des priorités, des suivis.  J’ai toujours mieux réussi avec la partie À FAIRE, mais moins bien avec la partie pour célébrer mes réalisations ou même d’en faire le bilan.  Ce n’a pas toujours été gai entre nous deux.  C’était plutôt à sens unique et toujours travailler travailler travailler.  Rarement jouer.

C’est le temps de faire la paix avec toi.  Je ne peux pas vivre le reste des jours fâchée contre toi ou continuellement à me sentir inadéquate.

Ces jours-ci je pense à ce que je laisserai derrière moi, mon patrimoine. mon héritage.  C’est évidemment un projet massif que je veux entreprendre avec des blocs et des piliers.  J’aimerais donc devenir amis afin de travailler en équipe.

Je pourrais peut-être commencer chaque journée en acceptant que, si tout va bien, j’aurai 24 heures comme tout le monde.  Qu’est-ce que je veux accomplir durant ces heures et qu’est-ce qui peut attendre à demain, si Dieu le veut.

Je suis bien contente d’avoir eu notre discussion.

Premium Member Shikata ga nai

You say you're leaving me now?
This cannot be!  Why? How?
I cannot say goodbye.

Tell me what you want from me.
I'll be what you want me to be.  
Give me one more try.  

Still, you walk out of the door?
For time to grieve, I implore.
I need time to cry.  

Now, I have things to do.
It was so nice knowing you.
Shikata na gai.

'sister'

zindgi ko pankh lagakr
na jane tu kaha udh gai....
asmaan ko manzil batakr 
na jane tu kaha mudh gai...
waqt to chalta raha pr 
na jane tu kaha tham gai....

Piya

Tun nay aisa laund diya
Meri fat gai meray piya.

Ishq

Menu ishq da roog lagya
Meri izzat lag gai Loray...
