Not hear it? --yes, I hear it, and have heard it. Long --long --long --many minutes, many hours, many days, have I heard it --yet I dared not --oh, pity me, miserable wretch that I am! --I dared not --I dared not speak! We have put her living in the tomb!
Why not simply honor your parents, love your children, help your brothers and sisters, be faithful to your friends, care for your mate with devotion, complete your work cooperatively and joyfully, assume responsibility for problems, practice virtue without first demanding it of others, understand the highest truths yet retain an ordinary manner? That would be true clarity, true simplicity, true mastery.
As long as the Earth can make a spring every year, I can.
As long as the Earth can flower and produce nurturing fruit, I can, because I'm the Earth. I won't give up until the Earth gives up.
The air came laden with the fragrance it caught upon its way, and the bees, upborne upon its scented breath, hummed forth their drowsy satisfaction as they floated by.
I am sometimes sad when I hear the personal stories of Tibetan refugees who have been tortured or beaten. Some irritation, some anger comes. But it never lasts long. I always try to think at a deeper level, to find ways to console.
Woh Dil, Dil Nahi Hota,
Jis Mein Pyar Nahi Hota.
Woh Pyar, Pyar Nahi Hota,
Joh Chahat Mein Bekarar Nahi Hota.
Thoda Tadapna, Thoda Machalna,
Toh Hai Mohabbat Ki Ada.
Joh Inn Raahoon Se Na Guzre,
Woh Yaar, Yaar Nahi Hota.

hum nhi jeet sake unse,
wo aisi shart lagane lage,
pyari si aankho ko meri aankho se lagane lage,

par palak humne tab jhapkaai,
jab unki palko se aansu aane lage...
Chand ne rab se chandni mangi hai,
suraj ne rab se rausni mangi hai,
rab ne humse pucha tumhari kya chahat hai,
humne sirf aapki puri umar ki dosti mangi hai...
Raat Chup Chap Hai Par Chand Khamosh Nahi,
Kaise Kah Doon K Aaj Phir Hosh Nahi,
Aisa Dooba Hoon Main Tumhari Aakhon Mein,
Haat Mein Jaam Hai Par Pine Ka Hosh Nahi�
