"There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we
are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we
open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement,
and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in
all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love
ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others
or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a
better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision
of people who embrace life."

-- John Lennon

"Listen to your inner voice for it is a deep and powerful

शायरी (२३-०४-२०१२)

तकदीरें बदल जाती है, जब ज़िन्दगी का कोई मकसद हो;
वरना ज़िन्दगी तो कट ही जाती है, तकदीर को इल्जाम देते देते!

पास आपके दुनिया का हर सितारा हो;
दूर आपसे गम का हर किनारा हो;
जब भी आपकी पलकें खुलें;
सामने वही हो जो आपको दुनिया में सबसे प्यारा हो!

कुछ अमल भी ज़रूरी है, इबादत के लिए;
सिर्फ सजदा करने से, किसी को जन्नत नहीं मिलती!

मुलाकातें रह जाती है सुहानी यादें बनकर;
बातें रह जाती है कहानी बनकर;
पर प्यार तो हमेशा दिल के करीब रहता है;
कभी होंठों पे मुस्कान तो कभी आँखों में पानी बनकर!

खफा न होना हमसे, अगर तेरा नाम जुबां पर आ जाये;
इंकार हुआ तो सह लेंगे और अगर दुनिया हंसी, तो कह देंगे;
कि मोहब्बत कोई चीज़ नहीं, जो खैरात में मिल जाये;
चमचमाता कोई जुगनू नहीं, जो हर रात में मिल जाये;

ज़िदगी जाने कितने मोड़ लेती है, हर मोड़ पर नए सवाल देती है;
तलाशते रहते हैं हम जवाब ज़िन्दगी भर;
और जब जवाब मिल जाये तो ज़िन्दगी सवाल बदल देती है!

जाने उस शक्स को कैसा ये हुनर आता है;
रात होती है तो आँख में उतर आता है;
मैं उसके ख्याल से निकलूं तो कहाँ जाऊं;
वो मेरी सोच के हर रास्ते पर नज़र आता है!

प्यार आ जाता है, आँखों में रोने से पहले;
हर ख्वाब टूट जाता है, सोने से पहले;
इश्क है गुनाह, यह तो समझ गए हम;
काश कोई रोक लेता, ये गुनाह होने से पहले!

हमने तेरे बाद न रखी किसी से मोहब्बत की आस;
एक शक्स ही बहुत था जो सब कुछ सिखा गया!

तकदीरें बदल जाती है, जब ज़िन्दगी का कोई मकसद हो;
वरना ज़िन्दगी तो कट ही जाती है, तकदीर को इल्जाम देते देते!
