abb tu iss sheher ka sanatay sa dar lagta hay
apnay ander hi koi sheher basaya jaya,

[ibrishah]

<b>Khawaja_i Sahab dedicated to you</b>.

Main Hansna Bhool Jati Hoon


Ek Tum Hi Say Hay Mansoob Khushi

Ek Tumharay Rooth Janay Say

Kissi Ko Kuch Nahi Hota

Phool Bhi Mehaktay Hain

Rang Bhi Damaktay Hain

Suraj Bhi Nikalta Hay

Taray Bhi Chamaktay Hain

Lakin Itna Zaroor Hota Hay

Ek Tumharay Rooth Janay Say

Main Hansna Bhool Jati Hoon

It is not an achievement to make thousand friends aday but the achievement is to make one friend for thousand years.

[khawaja_i]

a dil un ankhooin pa na jaa
jin main wafoor-e-ranj sa
kuch dair koo teray liay
ansoo agar lehra gay
yeh kuch lamhooin ki chamak
joo tuj koo pagal kar gaii
un jugnaooin ka noor sa
chamki ha kab woo zindagi
jis ka maqadar main rahii
subhay talag sa taragi
kis sooch main gumm sum ha tu
a ba khabar nadan na ban
teri fasurda rohh ko
chahat ka kantooin ki talab
orr teray daman main faqat
hamdardioon ka phool hain

ap jin ke qariib hote hain

jab tabiyat kisii pe aatii hai
maut ke din qariib hote hai.n

mujh se milanaa phir aapakaa milanaa
aap kis ko nasiib hote hai.n

zulm sah kar jo uff nahii.n karate
un ke dil bhii ajiib hote hai.n

A Man's Trail

This is the story of an average human
From his story there is so much to learn

"I work through life working day and night
Let me tell you of my miserable plight
Before that, let me thank Allah Most Merciful too
That's why I'm sharing my story with you

From young I was told I had to be the best
I must learn to score for my exams and tests
I studied hard to be the top in class
So that my friends will respect me with all the fuss


In my youth days, I was actually insecure
So much temptations and many are impure
I prayed sparingly but it didn't help me
Why couldn't I feel that Allah was watching me?

I wanted to be the cream of the cake
I didn't allow myself to make a single mistake
I wanted more friends and also be praised
When I didn't get complimented, I felt so dazed

I began to doubt myself again and again
Was I not good enough or was I insane?
I was feeling inadequate for my lack of looks
Was I too fat, short, or did my smile give the spooks?


I learnt to dress up in trendy clothes bought from stores
I wanted people to look at me and say 'wow' in awe
I wanted to be adored, praised and be popular
Success to me is to be top scholar

I wanted to shower myself in fame
I also hoped to earn a big name
I studied hard and topped my school high
I believe that to make friends, success is a tool

Whenever I was with friends and my date was just beside
I felt the pressure to display my witty side
I'm afraid my friends would leave me if I'm not nice enough
So I bought them gifts and other good stuff


Branded clothes, car, intelligence and friends indeed
You may think I have all that I need
But I'm still unhappy inside and I don't even know why
Was I not good enough, too ugly or too shy?

At work, I pleased my boss to show him I was the best
I treated my colleagues lunch and sacrificed all my rest
I was afraid that my boss disliked me if I lazed about
In front of him, I did my best and tried to stand out

Then I climbed the corporate ladder and be my own boss
Finally, I was successful but I was still in a loss
I was cheerful outside but scared inside
I was not even sure what I'm doing is right


I looked around to see all my best friends
I wonder if they still like me if my wealth ends?
I cannot bear to face rejection or even fail
If I become poor and old, will my friendships be stale?

I work hard, but who am I trying to impress?
The fear of losing my reputation is causing me stress
I want friends to respect me forever and ever
I could imagine my friendship to sever

But alas! My business failed me terribly
I was down with illness and suffered painfully
All the people whom I thought were faithful friends
Left me because my status has no stands


I'm left alone and wonder whether it is true?
To make good friends, wealth matters too?
I looked at the side of my bed and saw the Qur'an
Guilt enveloped me because the Qur'an I have read none

Since I was alone and feeling so bored
I explored the Qur'an to know about Allah the Lord
True Muslims friends start to befriend me
It doesn't matter whoever I'll be

They accept me and love me despite my flaws
I don't have to make them like me by using force
I don't have to impress Allah with my witty charm
I already know Allah loves us and protects us from harm


With Allah's help, we can attain peace in self
So let's put doubt back in Satan's shelf
If there are problems with work and with men
Please remember that it's part of Allah's plan

Ask from Allah because He listens to us always
Allah will help us with His Kindness and Grace
I met a man who is unfortunately blind
He then advised me with words so kind

He said, 'Love yourself and be grateful for what you are
You owe it to Allah for coming this far


Allah loves us and makes us Muslims
But many people don't appreciate it, it seems
It doesn't matter if we're poor or earn less
Allah loves who we are and He cares
Don't do good deeds if you do it for show

Or else your spiritual status will sink below
If you're humble, do good deeds and pray to Allah Most Wise
You can earn yourself a place in Paradise
Good Muslims overcome worries and insecurity

They are unfazed even if they are treated with hostility
Why be a slave to affluence and glamour?
Why worry if we are not witty with humour?
Always be yourself, dear brother, have no pretence


Allah will still love you, even if you don't have any fans
Why be afraid, dear brother, when friends shun away
When Allah is there for you it's always that way.'

After the blind man left, my mind started working
I was still surprised and truth starts coming
It seems that I may be a boss or lying here poor
but good Muslims greet me with salaam, a smile and no fear

I kept wondering, what is success to me?
Is it about having friends, or earning a good degree?
I had all these and yet I was not satisfied
Could it be because that Allah was not on my side?


Then I realize that I have been foolish
My INSECURITY is the one that was my leash
Why was I ungrateful to Allah Most Great?
Allah's helping us all the way as Fate

Oh! I'm ashamed for being so proud
When my success was actually a passing cloud!
Now I realize my great big mistake
So I do more good deeds now with sincerity and no fake

Let's learn from this life and tread the virtuous road
Remember that this world is only a temporary abode "


Remember true success is not about having lots of friends
In fact, it is about passing Allah's tests
Happiness is not about showing off your generous part
In fact, it's about the ATTITUDE of your heart

Say 'I like who I am and I'm glad to be me
I love being a Muslim and Allah sets my heart free!
I can feel in my mind and in my little heart bone
I confess - with Allah around, I know I'm never alone'.

[khawaja_i]

With eyes full of tears
And heart full of scar,
I think about you
Reminiscing all the painful moments
When you left me.
When my soul yelled,
When I felt survival too hard
And life itself a burden.
How can I forget that loving face?
Deep care, humble looks
Loving words and affectionate gestures.
all around me I found your silent prayers,
Your eyes weeping on my pain.
Your hands griping tightly when I trembled.
But now... there is nothing
I can't believe that you are no more
You are gone to heaven, never to return.
Where will l find that love?
Where will I find that care?
You will never return to kiss my forehead?
Never ever to pray for me again?
How can I believe?
All my tears, my screams, my sighs
Can never bring you back.
And this reality puts my soul on fire,
Whose flame flickers upward ceaselessly.
Now life becomes a torture for me,
Getting intolerable every day .
Sometimes I feel it all a nightmare,
Someday I'll get up and will feel relieved.
But no, this is a nightmare with open eyes,
Never to end.
Oh! My father! You were my most precious asset,
My entire universe .
But now you are gone,
Come back and wipe my tears once again.
I still look towards the door,
Some day you might come
And I'll put my head in your lap
And would say "i love you Dad"
With eyes full of tears
And heart full of scar,
I think about you
Reminiscing all the painful moments
When you left me.
When my soul yelled,
When I felt survival too hard
And life itself a burden.
How can I forget that loving face?
Deep care, humble looks
Loving words and affectionate gestures.
All around me I found your silent prayers,
Your eyes weeping on my pain.
Your hands griping tightly when I trembled.
But now... there is nothing
I can't believe that you are no more
You are gone to heaven, never to return.
Where will l find that love?
Where will I find that care?
You will never return to kiss my forehead?
Never ever to pray for me again?
How can I believe?
All my tears, my screams, my sighs
Can never bring you back.
And this reality puts my soul on fire,
Whose flame flickers upward ceaselessly.
Now life becomes a torture for me,
Getting intolerable every day .
Sometimes I feel it all a nightmare,
Someday I'll get up and will feel relieved.
But no, this is a nightmare with open eyes,
Never to end.
Oh! My father! You were my most precious asset,
My entire universe .
But now you are gone,
Come back and wipe my tears once again.
I still look towards the door,
Some day you might come
And I'll put my head in your lap
And would say "i love you Dad"
And sleep soundly...

Honthon se choo lo tum mera geet amar kar do
ban jao meet mere mera geet amar kar do
naa umar ki seema ho na janam ka ho bandan
jab pyaar kare koi to dekhe keval mann
yeh reet chala kar tum yeh reet amar kar do
honthon se chool lo tum mera geet amar kar do

akash ka sunna pan mere tanah mann mein payal
chankati tum aa jao jeevan mein
sanse dekar apni sangeet aman kar do
sangeet amar kar do mera geet amar kar do

jag ne cheena mujhse mujhe jo bhi laga pyaar
sab jeet diye mujhse main har dam hi hara
tum haar ke dil apna meri jeet aman kar do
yeh jeet amar kar do mera geet amar kar do
