I have said it a thousand times
What if I say it one more time
Or perhaps a thousand times more

After all it's only three words

                          I
                      LOVE
                       YOU .

ख़ुशियों से मेरे दिल को आबाद कर दो ,
गमो को मेरे दिल से आज़ाद कर दो |
अगर उम्मीद पर कायम है  ये दुनिया  ,
तो उम्मीदों से मेरा दामन भर दो  |
तुम्हारी यादें रुलाती हैं दिल को,
अपनी यादों को मेरे दिल से आज़ाद कर दो  |

Part by part
you tore me apart.
Now you ask,
have I killed you
gently enough?

Kindness touched a heart,  
the heart turned into a beautiful flower,
its fragrance is felt everywhere.

Let us let go of the past .
Let us make a fresh start .
Let the first step be trust .
Let us be friends one more time .
Let us be friends for life.

This is our world-
Yours and mine.
We call it home.
It's not perfect ;
It has flaws .
True, we can't make it perfect .
But with a little bit of kindness ,
and a little bit of love
we can always make it better .

Only if we try-
Let us try.

Give life a chance,
Live a little longer.
Life is a gift,
Share it with the ones you love.
Hold a trusted hand,
The road of life will be smoother again.
Leave all your sadness behind,
Step into a beautiful new world.
Set your aching heart free,
Love will come in like a cool breeze.

Like a dream
you came to my life.
Your eyes sparkled like stars
in the dazzling sunlight
as you looked at me.
Your smile, ever so gentle-
Oh, how you smiled at me.
That was the moment
love touched me.

Little by little ,
I fell in love .
A gentle smile,
every once in a while.
I fell in love .
A few words of wisdom,
Whenever I felt lost.
I fell in love .
A  little help ,
Every time I needed.
I fell in love with you.
With each passing day,
I love you a little more...

What was once a beautiful bond
is now broken.
What's left is a shattered heart.
Anxiety fills my thoughts all day,
keeps me awake all night.
Once a beautiful dream
now turned to a nightmare.

I look for peace
nowhere to be found.
How do I mend
the broken bond?
Everything feels so lost -
waiting for a ray of hope.

If it's love,
It will hurt.

If it hurts,
You know it's love.

O' love....your name I hear everywhere
What are you?...I  asked.
A voice came from within the depth of my heart
Love is.....it said
"When the world is lying at your feet
Yet, you don't care to look
For you can't take off your eyes
from that one face. "
O' how truly beautiful love is...said I.
Come...come...love
Come to my heart
For I too wish to feel your touch
Dear sweet love.

Love isn't geometry
There's no need to prove it

Love is only a feeling
You can feel it

in every little gesture.
in every little deed.

in a smile.
in the eyes.

Love enters the heart gently ,
Like a gentle breeze.
It touches the heart softly,
Like soft drops of rain .

But when love leaves ,
It brings a thunderstorm,
Shattering the heart into pieces.

My heart often sings for you,
The eternal song of love.
If it ever touches your heart,
Come to me.
I will be waiting,
For all eternity.

Once I stumbled upon
a stream of love,
wondering where it was coming from
I  went searching.

There it was,
lying around...
a broken heart.

If I had the Magic lamp,
I  would wish for bullets of love
To **** all the hatred from people's hearts
And for bullets of kindness
To **** all the jealousy from people's minds
And then I would set the Genie free.

Don't shed tears,
Over my dead body.
I am no longer in there.
I am free now ,
From the ******* of life .
You call me dead,
I feel more alive .
Keep me in your heart.
Keep me in your memories .
We will meet again ,
Through your dreams.

If I am not here tomorrow ,
Don't grieve my departure ,
Don't let your eyes filled with tears
in sorrow.
If possible, erase me from your heart.
If a memory of me ever surfaces,
hum one of my songs.

These aren't just words-
They are emotions of my heart.
In every melody lies,
A heartbeat of my soul.

Preserve them with care
for in them
I shall live forever.

If not for a lifetime,
walk just a few steps with me.

Not asking for the entire age,
Spend just a few moments with me.

Share a little of your story,
listen to a little of mine .

Even if not you ,
your memories will stay with me .

In the lonely journey of life ahead,
they will be my companion.

When happy,
she heals
with her beauty.

When angry,
she kills
with her fury.

I started my journey alone,
into the unknown.
Alone I may be,
but not lonely,
for my dreams are with me,
to keep me company.
I don't know where my destination is
it is the journey, that is my goal.

Strange but true,
I fell in love with you.
Never saw your face,
Yet I gave you my heart.
For I saw your heart,
Full of love.
You went out of my life,
But can you leave my heart?
You were never mine for me to keep,
Yet you became a part of my soul.
No matter where you are,
No matter whom you love.
You will forever live in my heart,
For you are the love of my life,
The most beautiful poem of my heart.

I am still in search of my place
in the world.

In hope,I start
then stop to ask:
Is this where I belong ?

Everything works fine at the start
then it falls apart .

So I move on ,
Start over ,
stop again to ask :
Do I really belong here?

I have started again
now I am afraid to stop and ask
once more :
Is this the place where I belong?

After all, I am only a speck of dust
amongst the galaxy of stars.

I went on a quest,
in search of the most beautiful place on earth.
I saw beauty all around .
But what I went searching for ,
I  found it right here .
It is the heart,
for, heart is the sacred place where
the flower called love blooms.

Mysterious are the ways
how the universe works.
People we see everyday
remains strangers all through our lives.
And yet someone living in a distant land
touches our heart in such a way,
It turns our whole life upside down.
They don't belong to us
still becomes a part of us.

This is my story .
How I came to be .
Lying unconscious,
In my death bed
Waiting for the inevitable
Alas! I came back to life
Woke up all alone
Sad and lonely
No one to care or love
Thought dying would have been better
Was fascinated by the world of Art
Drawn towards Monet, in particular
Started to dream,
To paint like him
Soon to realize
It was a dream, too far out of reach
Felt lost again
Wondering , to which world do I belong
So I took to writing
And this is how I came to be.

When nature takes center stage


the world holds its breath.

I love no more, I hate no more.
I dream no more, I wait no more.
My time in this world is over now.
Now I rest.
Farewell to all my miseries.
Farewell to all my pain.
It's all over now.
For now I rest.
In the peaceful bed of death.
Farewell! O' my dearly beloved.

Why feel sorry
Why regret
We did what we do best
I loved; you left.

I said , "I  love you. "

He looked at me for a moment
and then with his gentle soft voice
he said,  " I  love  too....

      
           but not you. "

A lonely heart,
in a lonely world,
is always in search of
an oasis of love.

Let's not fight any war today
Let's not die today
Let us all live one more day
Let us steal a day from the clutches of death
Heaven can wait for one more day.

Let's enjoy one last meal with our loved ones
Enjoy our favorite movie one last time
Dance to the tune of our favorite songs
Visit the place where we have first met our soulmates.
Let us make it the best day of our lives
And finally say goodbye to one another.
Let's just live one more day.
Before death comes to take us away.

Time is running out,
the heart is giving up.
What was once loved
will be left behind -
a new journey is about to begin
into the unknown.

Sometimes, pain is the only reminder


                
                  you are still alive.

If I were to define poetry,
I would say,
Poetry is ‐
The thoughts of our mind ,
The words of our  heart and
The feelings of our soul .
It has a language of its own
through which,
it connects with the world.

I was once curiously asked:
"Why write poetry?
Does it pay the bills?"

I replied with a smile:
"It does far more than that -
it heals."

Once, I despised you ,
Yet, you turned out to be my truest friend .
Come, touch my lips ,
Slip down my throat,
Reach for my soul
Take it out ,
Carry it to the unknown,
Far away from this miserable world.
Bury it there for all eternity,
So it may never rise again.

I went to the gift store ,
to buy you a gift.
Could not decide on
what to buy
Should it be the costliest one
or the prettiest one .
You are precious, so should you gift.
So, I left the store empty handed
to be with you ,
and give you,
the most precious thing that  I have ‐TIME.

He was not extraordinary,
Not out of this world ,
Just lovable .

That was enough -
I fell in love.

A smile is a reflection of joy,
when you see the people you love.
It is a reflection of happiness,
when you meet old friends.

A smile is an unspoken word,
that says it all.

She was told:
"You are sold
    to an old
for some gold."

A Starfish lying dead
on the beach
when touched by waves
begins to breathe.

I was lost in the darkness,
you brought me to light.
Showed me the world,
through your eyes.
Your laughter fills my heart,
with new hopes.
Your soothing voice,
calms my unsettling mind.
Your smile makes,
my world peaceful.
You are like my very own star,
that shines brightly in a moonless night ,
to light up my dark path.

A stormy night
I was drawn towards the waves
You pulled me back to the shore
So worried that I would drown
You held me tight
till it was dawn.

You try;I won't cry.
You try;I won't die.

I'm as stubborn as you are.

A symbol of love,
my nation's pride,
a gift to the world,
built by Shah Jahan
for his beloved Mumtaz.
Fulfilled the promise
he made to her,
built a unique monument of love
to stand the test of time
where they now rest side by side,
together forever.
A reminder -
love exists in the real world.

Happy families, smiling,
enjoying time together,
atmosphere filled with their laughter.

And then -

in a moment of madness,
all silenced.

Bullets took over,
dead bodies lying all around.

Terror strikes the land
we call "Paradise on Earth."

While sitting alone
under the shade of a tree
lost in the pages of my favorite book
an unexpected guest visited me-
a beautiful blue butterfly.
It sat on the tip of my left thumb, momentarily
then flew away
leaving me a moment of joy
a joy that still surrounds -
makes me smile.

One day it will come .
The day of my dreams.
A world, peaceful and beautiful .
No hatred, only love abound .
Everyone offering a helping hand ,
So that no one falls behind .
No talks of riches or power.
No discrimination against any
Race, religion or gender.
All equal, all accepted and loved.
Such a day will come soon.
I may or may not be around to see.
But I can see it in my vision,
How the day of my dreams would be.
