Pashmina dhaagon ke sang

Pashmina dhaagon ke sang Koi aaj, bune khwaab, aise kaise Waadi mein gunje kahi Naye saaz, yeh rawaab, aise kaise

Pashmina dhaagon ke sang Kaliyon ne badle abhi ye mizaaj Ehsaas, aise kaise Palko ne khole abhi, naye raaz Jazbaat, aise kaise

Kacchi hawa kacha dhuaa ghul raha Kaccha sa dil lamhein naye choon raha Kacchi si dhoop kacchi dagar phisal rahi Koi khada chupke se keh raha Main saaya banun, tere pichhe chalun Chalta rahoon

Sometimes I think it is my mission to bring faith to the faithless, and doubt to the faithful.

He who can see truly in the midst of general infatuation is like a man whose watch keeps good time, when all clocks in the town in which he lives are wrong. He alone knows the right time; what use is that to him?

Schopenhauer

Age does not protect you from love, but love protects you from age.

Jeanne Moreau

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.
