Purpose in life

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Epistle DedicatoryIrish dramatist & socialist (1856 - 1950)

pyar ko pyar hi rahne do koi naam na do

From Khamoshi sung by Lata M

ham ne dekhi hai in aankhon ki mahakti khushboo
haath se chuh ke ise rishto ka ilzaam na do
sirf ehsaas hai ye rooh se mahsoos karo
pyar ko pyar hi rahne do koi naam na do

pyar koi bol nahin, pyar awaz nahin
ek khaamoshi hai sunti hai kaha karti hai
na yeh bujhti hai na rukti hai na Thahri hai kahin
noor ki boond hai sadiyon se baha karti hai

sirf ehsaas hai ye rooh se mahsoos karo
pyar ko pyar hi rahne do koi naam na do

muskrahat si khili rahti hai aankhon me kahin
aur palkon pe ujaale se chuhpe rahate hain
honth kuch kahte nahin, kaanpate honthon pe magar
kitane khaamosh se afasaane ruke rahate hain

sirf ehsaas hai ye rooh se mahsoos karo
pyar ko pyar hi rahne do koi naam na do
