किसी रक़ीब ने दाने दिखा दिए उसको
हमारी छत  पे कबूतर  उतरने वाला था

तेरे माथे पे ये आँचल बहुत ही ख़ूब है लेकिन
तू इस आँचल से इक परचम बना लेती तो अच्छा था

तिरी नीची नज़र ख़ुद तेरी इस्मत की मुहाफ़िज़ है
तू इस नश्तर की तेज़ी आज़मा लेती तो अच्छा था

माना की दूरिया कुछ बढ़ सी गई हे..!!
लेकिन तेरे हिस्से का
वक़्त आज भी तन्हा गुजरता है ||

बताओ के कैसे तुम्हें भूलूं...??
के तुम तो वाकिफ हो इस हुनर से...!!

Life challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they’re supposed to help you to discover who you are.....

ज़ालिम ने अपनी सोच की दीवारें दिखा दी हमको,
हमारे हौंसलों की सरहदों का उसे अभी अंदाजा नहीं !

अगर लोगो में विस्वास बनाये रखना है तो अपने कथनी और करनी में अंतर मत रखो नहीं तो खुद पर भी विस्वास करना एक दिन भारी हो जायेगा !

अपनें को मनुष्य बनाने का प्रयत्न करो,
यदि इसमें सफल हो गए,
तो हर काम में सफलता मिलेगी ||

गृहस्थ एक तपोवन है,
जिसमें संयम,सेवा और सहिष्णुता की साधना करनी पड़ती है !!

"एक महान नेता में अपनी दूरदर्शिता को पूरा करने की हिम्मत उत्कंठा से आती है, दर्जे से नहीं।"

मैं कभी न मुसकुराता जो मुझे ये इल्म होता
कि हज़ारों ग़म मिलेंगे मुझे इक खुशी से पहले।

नीन्द इस सोच से टूटी अक्सर ..... किस तरह कटती हैं रातें उस की

Strength grows.. when v dare, Unity grows.. when v pair, Love grows.. when v share.. &.. Relation grow when v Care !!! Live in peace.. &.. not in pieces !

Don't place your mistakes on your head, their weight may crush you.
Instead, place them under your feet ;and use them as a platform to view your horizons.":

मुझ को ये आरज़ू वो उठाएँ नक़ाब ख़ुद
उन को ये इंतिज़ार तक़ाज़ा करे कोई

"मुझे दुश्मनों से
भी खुद्दारी की उम्मीद रहती है,
सर किसी का भी हो कदमो में
अच्छा नहीं लगता..."

"माता पिता अपने बच्चों को उत्तरदान में धन दौलत नहीं, बल्कि श्रद्धा की भावना दें।"

वक्त अच्छा हो या बुरा:

वक्त अच्छा हो या बुरा ??
वक्त की पहचान ~ वक्त के साथ ही होती है ||

मोहबत तो सीर्फ दिल देख कर की जाती है ; दोस्तों !
चेहरा देख कर तो लोग मोह्बत का सौदा करते हैं।।

चढ जाये तो फिर उतरता ही नहीं .............
ये इश्क़ भी गरीब के क़र्ज़ जैसा है

CRY & TRY have only 1 letter difference in spelling..
but..a lot in meaning..
CRY.. collapses our confidence..
&.
TRY builds our confidence !!

किसी रक़ीब ने दाने दिखा दिए उसको

सब्र हर बार इख़्तियार किया
हम से होता नहीं हज़ार किया

आदतन तुम ने कर दिए वादे
आदतन हम ने ए'तिबार किया

इस दौर के लोगों में वफ़ा ढूँढ रहे हो,
तुम जहर कि शीशी में दवा ढूँढ रहे हो..!

Tare Zameen Par:

In the movie _Taare Zameen Par_
The art teacher tells the rude and cursing father of the dyslexic kid about *Solomon Islands..*

In those islands, the tribal don’t cut down a tree. *They surround the tree and curse it for hours every day..*

Within a few weeks, the tree
dries up and becomes dead..

Many of us might find that example too difficult to believe. How can intangible and invisible thoughts and words kill a tree.!

Well, if you get to read Bruce H. Lipton’s THE BIOLOGY OF BELIEF, you won’t only believe in the Solomon Islands story, but would also think a dozen times before saying something demoralizing to yourself and the people you love..

In this book, Mr. Lipton tells in detail about the power of conscious and subconscious mind..

The subconscious mind is million times more powerful than the conscious mind, and decides most of the things in our lives according to the beliefs it has..

Many times we fail to change an unpleasant habit despite our will-power and consistent efforts..

It’s because the habit has been so strongly programmed in our subconscious mind that the efforts made by our conscious mind hardly make any difference.

*Conscious Mind is just a shadow* *of our Unconscious Mind..*

So, when the tribals of Solomon Islands curse a tree, they are actually installing negative and harmful beliefs in the tree’s emotion (yes, trees do have emotions too).

Within few days, those negative emotions becomes a belief & eventually changes the molecular architecture of the tree and kill it from inside..

2500 years ago, when the Buddha said that *‘You are what you think',* he was not articulating a random philosophical theory.

Actually he was telling a scientific fact which is now proved correct by Quantum Physics and Molecular Biology.

The book has a special chapter on Conscious Parenting where it talks about the beneficial and harmful effects of what parents say to their children..

*If you are a parent and you keep cursing your child in the name of constructive criticism, you are installing beliefs in their mind which will keep harming them forever..*

*But if you keep appreciating them in a sincere way, you are installing beliefs in their mind which will help them entire life..*

And also be careful of what
you keep saying to yourself.

Repetition of words and thoughts is the best way to install a belief in your subconscious mind..

If you keep saying you are a loser,
don’t be surprised if you become one within a few months or years..

And if you have friends who keep saying such things to you, there is no harm in saying a quick goodbye to them..

May be you value the friendship a lot. But you must value yourself a little

And ...Always keep saying to urself..
*I am healthy, wealthy, happy, successful & prosperous!*

It's a long message but please read at least the gist of it...

Thank God:

    A rich man looked through his window and saw a poor man picking something from his dustbin ... He said, Thank GOD I'm not poor.

             The poor man looked around and saw a naked man misbehaving on the street ... He said, Thank GOD I'm not mad.

The mad man looked ahead and saw an ambulance carrying a patient ... He said, Thank GOD am not sick.

   Then a sick person in hospital saw a trolley taking a dead body to the mortuary ... He said, Thank GOD I'm not dead.

   Only a dead person cannot thank God. (Psalm 115:17)

Why don't you thank GOD today for all your blessings and for the gift of life ... for another beautiful day.

*What is LIFE*?
     To understand life better, you have to go to 3 locations :

1. Hospital
2. Prison
3. Cemetery

🏥 At the Hospital, you will understand that nothing is more beautiful than HEALTH.

🔐 In the Prison, you'll see that FREEDOM is the most precious thing.

💐 At the Cemetery, you will realize that life is worth nothing. The ground that we walk today will be our roof tomorrow.

*Sad Truth* :  We all come with *nothing* and we will go with *nothing* ... Let us, therefore, remain humble and be thankful & grateful to God at all times for everything.

जो सितारे थे चमकते रहे:

सरकशों ने ताअते-हक़ छोड़ दी
अहले-सजदा सर पटकते ही रहे
जो गुबारे थे वह आख़िर गिर गए
जो सितारे थे चमकते ही रहे

याद नहीं वो रूठा था या मैं रूठा था !
साथ हमारा जरा सी बात पे छूटा था।

चिराग ए उल्फत जला रहा हूँ मैं
अब अँधेरे मिटा रहा हूँ मैं
नहीं है जिनमे वफ़ा की खुशबु
वो निस्बतें भी निभा रहा हूँ मैं....

Success doesn't change:

Here's a good one for you :)

This is a great story. Take a moment to read it; I Pray it will make your day!

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art..

When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.

About a month later, just before Christmas, There was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands..

He said, 'Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly... He often talked about you, and your love for art.' The young man held out this package. 'I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.'

The father opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture.. 'Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift.'

The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.

The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.

On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel. 'We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?'

There was silence...

Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, 'We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one.'

But the auctioneer persisted 'Will somebody bid for this painting? Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?'
Another voice angrily. 'We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Gogh's, the Rembrandts. Get on with the Real bids!'

But still the auctioneer continued. 'The son! The son! Who'll take the son?'
Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. 'I'll give $10 for the painting...' Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.

'We have $10, who will bid $20?'
'Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters.'

The crowd was becoming angry They didn't want the picture of the son.

They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.

The auctioneer pounded the gavel.. 'Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!'

A man sitting on the second row shouted, 'Now let's get on with the collection!'

The auctioneer laid down his gavel. 'I'm sorry, the auction is over.'

'What about the paintings?'

'I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will... I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.

The man who took the son gets everything!'

"Success doesn't change who you are. No, it reveals who you are.”

मुक्कमल खड़े हैं:

दुनिया में वही शख़्स है ताज़ीम के क़ाबिल
जिस शख़्स ने हालात का रुख़ मोड़ दिया हो

हर रोज गिरकर भी,
मुक्कमल खड़े हैं...
ए जिंदगी देख,
मेरे हौसले तुझसे भी बड़े हैं !!

"गाहे गाहे की मुलाक़ात ही अच्छी है 'अमीर'
क़द्र खो देता है हर रोज़ का आना जाना"

जब अल्फाज पन्नो पे शोर करने लगे
समझ लेना सन्नाटे बढ गये है अंदर....

दानिस्ता हम ने अपने सभी ग़म छुपा लिए
पूछा किसी ने हाल तो बस मुस्कुरा दिए

फ़क़ीर समझते रहे हम खुद को ज़माने से उफ्फ !
एक निगाह की जादूगरी !!!!!!
उस एक नज़र ने हमें मालामाल कर दिया !

To understand everything is to forgive everything ~ Buddha

What we make of life depends on our day-to-day choice.

जब जीत निश्चित हो तो हर कोई लड़ सकता हैं...
मुझे तो कोई ऐसा व्यक्ति दिखाओ जो हार निश्चित होने पर भी लड़ने का साहस रखता हो....
जिंदगी तो अपने दम पर ही जी जाती हैं...
औरो के कंधो पर सिर्फ जनाजे उठा करते हैं …

हमने रोती आँखों को हँसाया है हमेशा,
इससे बेहतर इबादत तो होगी नहीं मुझसे...

“It’s your attitude and not your aptitude that determines your altitude.”

“Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.”

“The empires of the future are empires of the mind.”

"आप जो हैं वह बनें और जो सोचे वह कहें क्योंकि जो आपत्ति करते हैं वे महत्त्व नहीं रखते और जो महत्त्व रखते हैं वे आपत्ति नहीं करते।"

पंथ पर चलना तुझे तो मुस्कुराकर चल मुसाफिर
वह मुसाफिर क्या जिसे कुछ शूल ही पथ के थका दें
