Taste life twice

We write to taste life twice,

in the moment and in retrospect.

Only sayings of the wise will remain

Many have died;

you also will die.

The drum of death is being beaten.

The world has fallen in love with a dream.

Only sayings of the wise will remain.

 

~~ Kabir, The Bijak of Kabir

 

Kabir ( कबीर) was a 15th-century Indian mystic poet and saint, whose writings influenced Hinduism’s Bhakti movement.

Anger

Although you may spend your life killing,

You will not exhaust all your foes.

But if you quell your own anger,

your real enemy will be slain.

 

~~Nagarjuna

 

(Nagarjuna -The “second Buddha”, was an Indian Buddhist priest and thinker.)

फिजा में बिखरी खुशबू


फिज़ा
में बिखरी खुशबू खिसकती सरकती 
ना जाने कब 

पास पहुँच कर 

गले में बाँहें डाल 

अतीत की ओर खीँच  ले गई .

किसी के यादों के साये और गुलाबों के बीच ले गई .
