Thats The Way It Is

Some of my favourite lines, that prep. me up, from the song "Thats the way it is!" by Celine Dion:

I can read your mind and I know your story
I see what you're going through
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you

Don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you question me for a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see, if you stick together
You're gonna find a way, yeah

So don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

These lines sure have a magic feel. Be it any emotion in the world, you feel you have garnered some courage to face it all and lift up the spirits. I have resorted to this song a gazillion times before. And once more time, I croon.....

Food for Soul....My Way

One of my "Sahir Ludhianwi" favourite:

"Niklete the kahaan jaane ke liye,
Pahunche hain kahaan maalum nahin..
Ab apne bhatakte qadmon ko,
Manzil ka nishaan maalum nahin...."

Jhute Ilzaam

kaun kisako yahaa bhalaa samajaa
humane kyaa samajaa tumane kyaa samajaa
bewafaa humane tumako samajaa sanam
tumane humakohi bewafaa samajaa

jhute ilzaam meri jaan lagaayaa naa karo
dil hai naajuk ise tum aise dukhaayaa naa karo
jhute ilzaam meri jaan lagaayaa naa karo

meri aankhon mein jo achhe nahi lagate aansu
to jalaayaa naa karo mujhako sataayaa naa karo
dil hai naajuk ise tum aise dukhaayaa naa karo
jhute ilzaam meri jaan lagaayaa naa karo

tum kisi aur ki kismat mein ho tum mere nahi
ye agar sach bhi hai to mujhako bataayaa naa karo
dil hai naajuk ise tum aise dukhaayaa naa karo
jhute ilzaam meri jaan lagaayaa naa karo

yaa to taawir bataayo mere sab khwaabo ki
yaa koi khwaab in aankhon ko dikhaayaa naa karo
dil hai naajuk ise tum aise dukhaayaa naa karo
jhute ilzaam meri jaan lagaayaa naa karo

abhi aaye ho abhi baithe abhi jaate ho
sirf ek rasm nibhaane ko to aayaa naa karo
dil hai naajuk ise tum aise dukhaayaa naa karo
jhute ilzaam meri jaan lagaayaa naa karo
