अंगड़ाई पर अंगड़ाई लेती है रात जुदाई की

अंगड़ाई पर अंगड़ाई लेती है रात जुदाई की,
तुम क्या समझो तुम क्या जानो बात मेरी तन्हाई की

कौन सियाही घोल रहा था वक़्त के बहते दरिया में,
मैंने आँख झुकी देखी है आज किसी हरजाई की

वस्ल की रात ना जाने क्यों इसरार था उनको जाने पर,
वक़्त से पहले डूब गए तारों ने बड़ी दानाई की

उड़ते उड़ते आस का पंछी दूर उफ़क़ में डूब गया,
रोते रोते बैठ गयी आवाज़ किसी सौदाई की.

मेरा दिल भी शौक से तोड़ो एक तजुर्बा और सही

मेरा दिल भी शौक से तोड़ो, एक तजुर्बा और सही,
लाख खिलौने तोड़ चुके हो, एक खिलौना और सही.

रात है ग़म की आज बुझा दो जलता हर एक चराग,
दिल में अंधेरा हो ही चुका है, घर में अंधेरा और सही.

दम है निकलता एक आशिक़ का, भीड़ है आ कर देख तो लो,
लाख तमाशे देखे होंगे, एक नज़ारा और सही.

खंजर लेकर सोचते क्या हो क़त्ल "मुराद" भी कर डालो,
दाग हैं सौ दामन पे तुम्हारे एक इजाफा और सही.

Date With A Woman

Date With A Woman… (A Must Read Inspiring Story )

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said I love you but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.

That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.

'What's wrong, are you well,' she asked? My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.

'I thought that it would be pleasant to be with you,' I responded. 'Just the two of us.'

She thought about it for a moment, and then said, 'I would like that very much.'

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous.

When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.

She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's.

'I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed, 'she said, as she got into the car. 'They can't wait to hear about our meeting'. We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady.

After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips.

'It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,' she said. 'Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor,' I responded.

During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation - nothing extraordinary, but catching up on recent events of each other's life.

We talked so much that we missed the movie.

As we arrived at her house later, she said, 'I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.' I agreed.

'How was your dinner date?' asked my wife when I got home. 'Very nice.

Much more than I could have imagined,' I answered.

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to do anything for her.
Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined.

An attached note said:
'I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.’

At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: 'I LOVE YOU!' and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than God and your family.

Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till 'some other time.'

टुकड़े-टुकड़े दिन बीता, धज्जी-धज्जी रात मिली

टुकड़े-टुकड़े दिन बीता, धज्जी-धज्जी रात मिली

जिसका जितना आँचल था, उतनी ही सौगात मिली

रिमझिम-रिमझिम बूँदों में, ज़हर भी है और अमृत भी

आँखें हँस दीं दिल रोया, यह अच्छी बरसात मिली

जब चाहा दिल को समझें, हँसने की आवाज़ सुनी

जैसे कोई कहता हो, ले फिर तुझको मात मिली

मातें कैसी घातें क्या, चलते रहना आठ पहर

दिल-सा साथी जब पाया, बेचैनी भी साथ मिली

होंठों तक आते आते, जाने कितने रूप भरे

जलती-बुझती आँखों में, सादा-सी जो बात मिली

Modern relation between Son and Father

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'
DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.
SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily.
SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'
SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'
The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed.
Think about why you are being so selfish.
I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions.
How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. 'Are you asleep, son?' He asked.
'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.
'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man.
'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.' The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.
'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled.
'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.
'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.
It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life.
We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love.
