hazaaroon Khawahishain aesi kay har Khawahish pe dam nikle ..

I am like an Open Book Except for the few pages of my past, My life is an empty book. It takes the shape of a mystery, To me it does at least. For I cannot tell what happens next, Too many cliffhangers and too much suspense. But its clues all lead eventually to the same place, Unfortunately it does not say where. It only says get the next book, For in this one you’ ve ran out of room.

Us Kay Dar Sey Niklay he They Kay

Na gham hai, na khushi hai
Na hi is dil mein koi dard hai
Is shaher ke mausam ki tarah
Yahan pe har Jazbah sard hai

Life is like a piano --- what you get out of it,
Depends on how you play it.

Ye khoob kiya hai! ye zisht kiya hai! jaha'n ki asal sarisht kiya hai
baraa maza ho tamaam chehray agar koi benaqaab kar de.....

Next word: Ye

“Alif”

Life is like a piano — what you get out of it,
Depends on how you play it.

188

Inhi patharon pe chal ker agar aa sako to aao
mere ghar ke raaste main kaheen kehkashan nahin hai

189

yaad kya dast-e-hunar hai keh sanvarta gaya main
us ko sochaa to use yaad hi karta gaya main
is ko tahzib-e-junun kahiye ki mujh se pahle
jaise bikhre hain sabhi log bikharta gaya main

Life is like a piano --- what you get out of it,
Depends on how you play it.
