It is not selfish to be happy. It is your highest purpose. Your joy is the greatest contribution you can make to life on the planet. A heart at peace with its owner blesses everyone it touches.
So she sat on with closed eyes, and half believed herself in Wonderland, though she knew she had but to open them again, and all would change to dull reality.
Hamne socha ke ham hi chahte hain aapko,
Par aapke chahne waalon ka toa kafila nikla.
Dil ne kaha shikayat kar khuda se,
Par vo khuda bhi aapka chahne waala nikla.
Palak ko zid hai ankho se ansu girane ki Dil ko zid hai aapko apna pyara dost banane ki Apko zid hai agar hume bhulane ki To hume bhi zid hai apko apni yaad dilane ki.....
Kal sar-e-rah paon ik khasa-e-sar par jo par gya

I journeyed to London, to the timekept City, Where the River flows, with foreign flotations. There I was told: we have too many churches, And too few chop-houses.

Bas jate hain wo dil me is kadar
Ke ankhen band kro to samne nazar aate hain..

Khuda kare har saal chand bankar aaye,
Din ka ujaala shaan bankar aaye,
Kabi dur na ho Aapke chere se hasi,
Yeh HOLI ka thyohar Aisha mehmaan bankar aaye.
All furnished, all in arms;
All plum'd like estridges that with the wind
Bated like eagles having lately bathed;
Glittering in golden coats like images;
As full of spirit as the month of May
And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer;
Wanton as youthful goats, wild as young bulls.
Tum Bin Zindagi Sooni Si
Lagti Hai, Har Pal Adhuri
Si Lagti Hai... Ab Tu In
Saanson Ko Apni Saanson Se
Jod De, Warna Zindagi Kuchh
Pal Ki Mehmaan Si Lagti Hai.
