E & O E
I am just a smll drop in the internet ocean , and a humble student of languages and poetry .
Must have made number of mistakes and errors in the pages . Please forgive me .
If you take the pains of pointing them out to me I will be very grateful !
My grandpa imbibed in me interest of poetry hindi and urdu .
He used to tell many wisdom sher , like this one -
" Girate hain sheh sawaar hi maidaane jung mai.n ,
Woh tifl kyaa girai.n jo ghutano ke bal chalai.n " - Anon.
Chalanaa seekh rahe hain , dost ! ............ Rajji
My Favourites
Three Great Gs
Khalil Gibran
I think the greatest poet and thinker of the century .
My favorite Gibran lines are :
On giving ..
You often say, "I would give, but only to the deserving.
The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture.
They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.
And on Marrige ..
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Read an excellent collection by Mahmoud Khatab at Gibran khalil
Mirza Ghalib
Any one who loves, loves his sher on love :
Ishq par jor nahi.n hai yeh woh aatish ghalib,
Jo lagaaye na lage aur bujhaaye na bujhe !And see this one on himself :
Hai.n aur bhi duniyaa main sukhanwar bahut achhe,
Kahate hai.n ki ghalib ka hai andaz e bayaan aur !
