Nice Lines By Gulzaar Saab....
Paani se tasveer kahan banti hai, Khwabo se taqdeer kahan banti hai. Kissi bhi rishte ko sachche dil se nibhao,
Kyunki ye zindagi phir wapas kahan milti hai.
Kaun kissi se chah kar dur hota hai, Har koi apne halaton se majbur hota hai.
Hum to bus itna jante hai har rishta Moti aur har dost Kohinoor hota hai...
What is originality? To see something that is as yet without a name, that is as yet impossible to designate, even though it staresus in the face.

For me patriotism is the sme as humanity. I am patriotic because I am human and humane. It is not exclusive. I will not hurt England or Germany to serve India . . . My patriotism is inclusive and admits of no enmity or ill-will.
Sab kuch milta hai bas ek "khudai" ke siwa,
zindagi bahut pasand aayi ek "ruswai" ke siwa,
meri chahat ka ehsas bhi na kar sako ge tum,
us ki har ada pasand hai ke "bewafai" ke siwa.
Ye raat chandni lekar aapke aangan aaye,
Ye aasma ke taare saare lori gaa kar sulaye,
Ho aapke itne pyaare sapne yaar,
Ki neend me bhi aap bahot muskuraye..!!
Only when your hearts are empty of the things of the mind, is there love. Then you will know what it is to love without separation, without distance, without time, without fear.
