Dayar-e-ghair main kaise tujhe sada daite...

Zindagi mein to sabhi pyaar kiya karte hain
Main to mar ke bhi meri jaan tujhe chahoonga

Tu mila hai to yeh ehsaas hua hai muJhko
Yeh meri umar mohabbat ke liye thodi hai
Ik zara sa gham-e-dauran ka bhi haq hai jis par
Maine wo saans bhi tere liye rakh chodi hai
Tujh pe ho jaaoonga qurbaan tujhe chaoonga
Main to mar ker bhi meri jaan tujhe chahoonga

Apne jazbaat mein naghmaat rachaane ke liye
Maine dhadkan ki tarah dil mein basaya hai tujhe
Main tasawur bhi judaai ka bhala kaise karoon
Maine kimsat ki lakiron se churaaya hai tujhe
Pyaar ka ban ke nigehbaan tujhe chahoonga
Main to mar ker bhi meri jaan tujhe chahoonga

Teri har chap se jalte hain khayalo ke chiragh
Jab bhi tu aaye jagata hua jaadu aye
Tujh ko choo loon to phir ai jaan-e-tamanna mujhko
Der talak apne badan se teri khushbu aaye
Tu baharon ka hai unwaan tujhe chahoonga
Main to mar ke bhi meri jaan tujhe chahoonga

Hosh ayaa tou sabhi khuwaab thay raizah raizah ...
Jaissey urtey huwaay auraaq-e-pareshaan janaa'n !

Main aur meri tanhai...

What women want?

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him, but was moved by Arthur’s youthful happiness. So he offered him freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer; if, after a year, he still had no answer, he would be killed.

The question was: What do women really want?

Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and, to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. Well, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch’s proposition to have an answer by year’s end. He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everybody: the princess, the prostitutes, the priests, the wise men, the court jester. In all, he spoke with everyone but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.

What most people did tell him was to consult the old witch, as only she would know the answer. The price would be high, since the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no alternative but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer his question, but he’d have to accept her price first: The old witch wanted to marry Gawain, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur’s closest friend!

Young Arthur was horrified: she was hunchbacked and awfully hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage water, often made obscene noises. He had never run across such a repugnant creature. He refused to force his friend to marry her and have to endure such a burden.

Gawain, upon learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He told him that nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur’s life and the preservation of the Round Table.

Hence, their wedding was proclaimed, and the witch answered Arthur’s question: What a woman really wants is to be able to be in charge of her own life.

Everyone instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur’s life would be spared. And so it went. The neighboring monarch spared Arthur’s life and granted him total freedom.

What a wedding Gawain and the witch had! Arthur was torn between relief and anguish. Gawain was proper as always, gentle and courteous. The old witch put her worst manners on display. She ate with her hands, belched and farted, and made everyone uncomfortable.

The wedding night approached: Gawain, steeling himself for a horrific night, entered the bedroom. What a sight awaited! The most beautiful woman he’d ever seen lay before him! Gawain was astounded and asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her (when she’d been a witch), half the time she would be her horrible, deformed self, and the other half, she would be her beautiful maiden self.

She asked him which would he want her to be during the day and which during the night?

What a cruel question? Gawain began to think of his predicament: During the day a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his home, an old spooky witch? Or would he prefer having by day a hideous witch, but by night a beautiful woman to enjoy many intimate moments?

What would you do? What Gawain chose follows below, but don’t read until you’ve made your own choice.

Noble Gawain replied that he would let her choose for herself. Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time, because he had respected her and had let her be in charge of her own life.

The Moral of the Story: It doesn’t matter if your woman is pretty or ugly, underneath it all, she’s still a witch!

When she said me "No"

When she said me "No" then I came to know

• It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

• When the door of happiness closes, another opens but often times we look so hard at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

• It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

• Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their hearts but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

• There are things you'd love to hear that you would never hear from the person whom you would like to hear it from them from, but don't be so deaf as not to hear it from the one who says it from his heart.

• Love comes to those who still hope although they've been disappointed to those who still believe although they've been betrayed, to those who still love although they've been hurt before.

• It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like
  someone and a day to love someone--but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

• Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

• There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them out of your dreams and hug them for real!

• Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.

• Careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a
  timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless.

• The beginning of love is to let those we love be just themselves, and not twist them with our own image--otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

• Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

and last but least...

• Some moments are ever lasting, some relations are not time bound, some words are untold, some emotions are divine, some feelings are inexpressible, and some people are unforgettable.

Mohabbat ab nahi hogi!

Sitarey jo damaktey hain kisi ki chashm-e-heran mein
Mulaqatain jo hotee hain jamaal-e-abro-baraan mein
Yeh na-abaad waqton mein, dil-e-na-shaad mein ho gi
Mohabat ab nahin ho gi, yeh kuch din baad mein ho gi
Guzar jaa'en gey jab yeh din, tau in ki yaad mein ho gi
Mohabbat ab nahi hogi!!!!
