If we affirm one moment, we thus affirm not only ourselves but all existence. For nothing is self-sufficient, neither in us ourselves nor in things; and if our soul has trembled with happiness and sounded like a harp string just once, all eternity was needed to produce this one event - and in this single moment of affirmation all eternity was called good, redeemed, justified, and affirmed.
Kabhi Ro k Muskuraye,
Kabhi Muskura k Roye...
.
Jab b Teri yaad aai
Tujhe bhula kr Roye...
.
Ek tera hi to naam tha
Jise Hazar Baar Likha,
.
Jitna likh k khush hue
Usse jyada Mita kr Roye...!!
