ज़िन्दगी ना मिलेगी दोबारा.. You wont get this life again! ♥ ♥ ♥ पिघले नीलम सा ये समां  नीली नीली सी खामोशियाँ  न कहीं ज़मीन है न कही आसमां सरसराती हुई टेहेनियाँ, पत्तियां  कह रही हैं की बस एक तुम हो यहाँ  सिर्फ मैं हूँ,मेरी सांसें हैं और मेरी धडकनें  ऐसी गहराइयां, ऐसी तनहाइयाँ और मैं,... सिर्फ मैं  अपने होने पे मुझको यकीन आ गया  apne hone pe mujhko yakeen a gaya ~~~~~~~~~~~~ दिलों में तुम अपनी बेताबियाँ लेके चल रहे हो तो जिंदा हो तुम  नज़र में ख्वाबों की बिजलियां लेके  चल रहे हो तो जिंदा हो तुम  हवा के झोकों के जैसे आज़ाद रहना सीखो  तुम एक दरिया के जैसे लहरों में बहना सीखो  हर इक लम्हे से तुम मिलो खोले अपनी बाहें  हर इक पल इक नया समां  देखें ये निगाहें  जो अपनी आँखों में हैरानियाँ लेके चल रहे हो तुम  तो जिंदा हो तुम  दिलों में तुम अपनी बेताबियाँ लेके चल रहे हो तो जिंदा हो तुम ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ Translated approximately..... दिलों में तुम अपनी बेताबियाँ लेके चल रहे हो तो जिंदा हो तुम  You haveth the eagerness  in your heart, and hence you are alive! नज़र में ख्वा

via amazon.com A nice poem by Rumi We are as the flute, and the music in us is from thee; we are as the mountain and the echo in us is from thee. We are as pieces of chess engaged in victory and defeat: our victory and defeat is from thee, O thou whose qualities are comely! Who are we, O Thou soul of our souls, that we should remain in being beside thee? We and our existences are really non-existence; thou art the absolute Being which manifests the perishable. We all are lions, but lions on a banner: because of the wind they are rushing onward from moment to moment. Their onward rush is visible, and the wind is unseen: may that which is unseen not fail from us! Our wind whereby we are moved and our being are of thy gift; our whole existence is from thy bringing into being.

He was sure she would take the whole day to get it done. But the little one came back within minutes with perfect map. When he asked how she could do it so quickly, she said, “Oh…Dad, there is a man's face on the other side of the paper. I made the face perfect to get the map right.” She ran outside to play leaving the father surprised.
