My Gratitues

Since past few months, i have been reading a lot of nice stuff (some people sarcastically call it getting enlightened). :-)
Well... i am not compalining, because, the more i am reading about our inner enlightment, the more i am realising that i can feel the utter bliss even in nothing. It is a hard fact to digest for most of people, but the truth is, happiness exist inside us. We just don't know how to bring it out. A simple yet a difficutlt habit to get used to. :-)
I am not here to give lectures on all that stuff, i am not at all good in it. It just that, i have started knowing gradually that one way to feel happy is by showing gratitude for things around me. Even those things which i have taken for granted.
Here goes my list.
I am so happy and grateful today for:-
- All the beautiful clothes i am able to buy.
- All the good food i am able to eat.
- All the beautiful knowledege god is providing me, which i never get to know even after getting few education degrees.
- For the sheer happiness i feel from the time i wake up to the time i go back to sleep.
- Understanding how to find positive in any negative situation.
- For the bread butter breakfast i had today.

Wooooooo Hoooooooo!!! Smiles smiles smiles

Peace and happiness to all!!!!

रंजिश ही सही दिल ही दुखाने के लिए आ

I found this ghazal on a blog while doing some surfing for Bulleh Shah work. Liked it and posting it here.

Written by Ahmed Faraz

रंजिश ही सही दिल ही दुखाने के लिए आ,
आ फिर से मुझे छोड़ के जाने के लिए आ

[रंजिश = Anger, Annyoance]

पहले से मरासिमं ना सही फिर भी कभी तो,
रस्म-ओ-राहे दुनिया की निभाने के लिए आ

[मारासिम = Friendship]

किस किस को बताएँगे जुदाई का सबब हम,
तू मुझ से ख़फा है तो ज़माने के लिए आ

[सबब = reason]

कुछ तो मेरे पिंदार-ए-मुहब्बत का भरम रख,
तू भी तो कभी मुझ को मनाने के लिए आ

[पिंदार-ए-मुहब्बत = Love's Pride]

एक उम्र से हूँ लज़्ज़त-ए-गिरिया से भी महरूम,
ऐ राहत-ए-जान मुझ को रुलाने के लिए आ

[लज़्ज़त-ए-गिरिया = taste of tears, महरूम = devoid,राहत-ए-जान = Peace of life]

अब तक दिल-ए-खुश फहम को तुझ से हैं उम्मीदें,
ये आखरी शम्मे भी बुझाने के लिए आ

माना की मुहब्बत का छुपाना है मुहब्बत,
चुपके से किसी रोज़ जताने के लिए आ

जैसे तुझे आते हैं ना आने के बहाने,
ऐसे ही किसी रोज़ ना जाने के लिए आ

Poem Written by me

For the first time in my life, i have written a poem one fine day. Here it is:-

Never wanting to break your heart
Always denied you a place in my heart..

you smiled, you cared, you did everything right
i saw, i blushed, but stayed in fright..

At every step, i thought of the worst
if the hearts will be broken, my eyes would burst

The love i feel now is bringing back that past..
and all this is making an ache in my heart

Never wanting to break your heart
I couldn't stop myself breaking apart..

- "True love begins when nothing is looked for in return"
