In Intertainment :-

I was thinking of old friends today

and how many of them have slipped away.

Moved, got married, or stopped calling so much,

Found new friends, got busy, and just lost touch.

It reminded me of falling leaves.

Every autumn the leaves fall from the trees.

Some stay longer than others, but eventually -

Each leaf must fall, I'm told,

leaving the tree alone to face the cold.

Why is it that in the time of utmost need

the leaves would seek to leave the tree?

And when we need our friends around us

We look and they cannot be found?

Of course these friendships come and go

and in the spring new leaves will grow.

But I prefer autumn friends of old

with crackling laughter and colors bold.

And then I thought of you.

That one stubborn leaf that won't let go.

That clings despite the winds that blow.

Fighting ice, and snow, and winter's stings

hanging on right through till spring.

So I guess that's what you are to me -

The very last leaf to leave the tree.

I know it seems silly, but it's true.

When I see that last leaf...I think of you.

....don't drift away.... will you?

Chaha hai jise cghahat se jyada

Manga hai jise mohabbat se jyada.....

Bharosa hai jispe khud se bhi jyada

Han tu hai tu hi hai wo Pyar hamara.....!!!

Shama jalti rahi sari raat

us hath ki khushbon.....

mahakti rahi sari raat

Tum dur sahi yaad ati rahi saari raat.....!!!

Nighao me ab koi Pyar ke kabil na raha

Is kinare ka aur koi sahil na raha.....

Chand jaisa dost mila hame jamin par

Aasma ka chand bhi ab didar ke kabil na rah.....!!!

Rukwa dena mera janaja Galib

jab unka ghar aye.....

Wo jhankle khidki se aur

Hamra dil dhadak jaye.....!!!

Har ahat ehsas hamara dilayegi

Har hava kissa hamara sunayegi.....

Ham itni yaden bhar denge apke dil mein

Na chahte hue bhi Apko yad hamari ayegi.....!!!

Ho roshan teri zulfo ki chao mein,

Simat aye to chand ki tarah meri panaho mein,

Ye khwab bunte chale ham nigaho nigaho mein........

Ryth gaya hai mananewala,

Ab koi nahi mera naaz uthanewala,

Jane kya sochta hai ye khula darwaza,

Shayad rasta bhul gaya hai koi anewala......

" Mann men raakhun to mera mann jaley.

Kahoon to mukh jal jaayeri.

Jaise gungeko sapanaa bhayo ree.

Samaz samaz pachhtaay ree!!

Khusroh dariyaah premkaa.

Jo ultee waaki dhaar.

Jo ubaraa so doob gayaa...

Jo dooba so paar

Khusroh bazee premki,

Main khelun piyke sang.

Jeet gayi to piyaa more.

Jo haari main piyake sang!!

Main to piyaa se nainaa lagaa aayirey.

Main to binmol cheri kahaa ayee rey.

Ab jo hogaa so dekhenge..

Main to binmol cheri (cheli) kahaa ayee rey. "
