Hazaaron khwahishen aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle
Bohat niklay mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle...

---
Mohabbat mein nahin hai farq jeenay aur marnay ka
Usi ko dekh kar jeetay hain, jis kaafir pe dam nikle

----
Hazaaron khwahishen aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle

Abode of Happiness

I wake up in the morning feeling a void;
I wonder, 'Why Oh Why am I happiness devoid?'
Nothing I said or did could answer this
'Why Oh Why I feel this sorrow in abundance noontide?'
As I mull I hear a sound. The heaviness of the beat made me think, 'Hmm.. A Sagacious Resound'
The whisper in the ear was mild and tender. I smiled.
The sun was bright and so was I.
There was a trail within me; untouched. It lays uncovered now in reverberations abound.
I now see a light beaming out. I know now where castles one's happiness; I am astound.
All the sages knew their secrets and I know mine too.
For ones' own mind abodes happiness and I am glad I found it too.
