Silence speaks...



Just listen.

When everything dies,
hope remains...
When hope dies,
what remains?

"Forget about him.
Let him go.
Don't think.
Just let go,"
So they say.

"Well ,why not?" I said
"How hard can it be?"

I kept thinking about forgetting him,
then fell asleep.
There he was again,
smiling in my dream,
as if saying, "Happy forgetting."

What will people say
is all that matters.
What the heart says
does not matter.
The heart speaks in silence
no one can hear.
It is the people
who says it out loud.

I often wonder,
what happens when all the lovers die ?
Do they really turn into stars,
to shine bright in the night sky ,
far away from each other -forever.

Or do they turn into stardust, become one,
comes down to the earth
to be reborn,
to fall in love again ?

I can be what you want me to be.
I can be how you want me to be.
Chained to you and not be free.

                      But-

Will you be able to love me
if I am not me...

                   truly?

Between life and death,
lies an empty space,
a playground for love
where hearts run wild.

We break a piece of glass....unintentionally.
We break a loving heart....intentionally.

When a glass breaks,
it makes a sound.
When a heart breaks,
it cries in silence.

I went in search of love
which was not there.
But what I found
was truly rare,
made my search worthwhile.

For I found -

      A protector
      A guide
      A friend
      A brother.

I am broken,
don't fix me.
If you find me in pieces,
don't collect me.
I am replaceable,
just replace me.
It's quite easy.

She said, "I am afraid ."
He said, "Why? I am here."
She said, "That is why."

How will you fare
when I am gone?
Don't stop living
on my account .

Find a new light
in your heart .
Move on
make a fresh start.

In your journey down the line,
love will find you one more time.

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.

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.

Out of curiosity, I asked AI,
"A thousand years from now,
how our world will be?"

It replied,
"I can't tell how the future world would be,
but there I will be."

I often ask myself :

"Why is it so easy to die
for someone you love ,
and yet so hard to live on
for someone who cares?"

We don't know each other,
We have not seen each other.
Yet, we are bound together
by an invisible thread of emotions
in this world of words .

Together we stand ,
   with each other ,
    for each other.

If I love you enough ,
my love will find a way
to your heart .

No,I don't believe in miracles -
it is my love
that I trust.

If you were to ask
why I write
so much about love

Well, what can I say -

The Taj Mahal is my inspiration.

No love is true or false
Love is love
Same for all
Sacred and pure.

It is just that
Some people love and
some only pretend.

The pen was always mightier than the sword.
        
                            what if

                            we could

make our keypads mightier than the bullets ?

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.

What a wonderful place to be -
The world of words
Where imagination comes alive
Hopes fly high

They give joy,
tears too.

A place like no other
the world of words.

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. "

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 .

In despair,

when breathing
feels like a crime
do not give up.

When everything feels lost
hold on to hope

Keep it burning -
the candle of hope

A little hope and
a little courage

will pull you through....

       even hell.

I
fell
in
love
in
an
instant

  
and


I
am
still
falling.

Why have you come back?

what do you wish to see

or do you want what is left of me

Come...see
what you have done to me

Tell me
Is this how I am suppose to be

Go away
Don't come back....

I've had enough of you..

You are not worthy of my love.

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

That was enough -
I fell in love.

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.

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

I'm as stubborn as you are.

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.

There is a moon up in the sky ,
another one that walks the earth.
I deeply love them both.

Is this what is hurting you ?
Is this why you are walking away in silence ?

If only the Moon had a voice ,
it would have smiled and whispered-

" He loves me only because
in me, he sees you."

Strong as a rock,
Unbreakable like a promise.
Yes, it is friendship -
A bond built on trust.

Once made, never broken
The older it gets ,
Stronger it becomes .
Far or near, always there .

Seasons come and go,
But friendship remains intact.
Never fades away nor disappears ,
Stays with you like the Sun -

Always shining bright
To brighten up your life
Removing all the dark clouds
Away from your life.

You said, "It's over"
as if it was dinner .

It is love,
it is forever.

Destruction caused by war,
Innocent lives lost,
Everything turned to dust .

Where do we pick up
How do we rebuild
How do we overcome the grief
of the loss of our loved ones

How do we begin again
How do we find the strength to move on
How do we live on
when everything is gone


         TOGETHER

we can - if we join hands.

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.

एक चाँद है आशमाँ में    
एक है ज़मीन पर
दोनो ही से है मुझे प्यार  बेहद
रूठ कर बैठे हो इसलिए
क्योंकि चाँद से भी है प्यार मुझे  
सुनो कहता है क्या चाँद मुस्कुराते हुए  -

"प्यार करता है वो मुझसे इसलिए  क्योंकि मुझमें  
  उसे  तुम्हारा  चेहरा  नज़र आता है "||

If it's love,
It will hurt.

If it hurts,
You know it's love.

It is time
to rise and fight.

It is time
to take a stand ,
for what is right .

It is time
to turn the tide .

Today is the time
to save the world,    
for our tomorrow
    
          or else

there will be none.

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

If  I  got to choose
what would I be
A butterfly or a bee?

I would choose to be a bee
Not beautiful,  not desirable,
yet happy,
I will fly free .

Touch me - I will sting.

I saw a light in your heart,
that is how I fell in love.
Your light sparked a fire of desire
in my heart.

Douse this fire with a shower of your love,
or watch it burn to ashes of love.

I have no riches
to win your heart,
No power
to make you mine.

All I have
are my words .
With them, I will build
a love bridge .

There,
one day,
someday,
our hearts will meet.


Hopefully.

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...

All that is beautiful is not treasure.
All that is broken is not trash .
Ask any broken heart
It will tell
It is beauty that breaks hearts.

What was love for me
Was only a game for you.
I gave you all my love
You have torn  my heart apart
Shattered my life.
All my dreams turned into nightmares
All sweet memories turned  to bitter poison
My heart suffers in agony,
by the deep wounds you have gifted me.

All in the name of love.
O' how I wish I were born without a heart.

You wanted a boy
You got me
Were you happy
Of course not
I did all the right things
Took care of you
Didn't chase after boys
Rather, I chased my dreams
Made a name in the world
People I meet say- we are proud of you !
But you are ashamed .
I am still your worthless child
Just because I am a girl.

मैं ना रहूं कल तो
मेरे जाने का  कोई  गम ना करना |
मेरे गम  में अपनी आंखें नम ना करना |
हो सके तो दिल से भुला देना मुझे  |
याद जो आऊ कभी तो
मेरा कोई नगमा गुनगुना लेना |
ये सिर्फ़ शब्द नहीं
दिल के जज़्बात है मेरे
हर नगमा में छुपा एक दिल की धड़कन है |
इन्हे  संभाले रखना तुम
इनमें ज़िंदा में रहूंगी सदा  ||

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.
