Interview With God

I dreamed I had an interview with God.
"So you would like to interview me?" God asked.
"If you have the time" I said.
God smiled. "My time is eternity." "What questions do you have in mind for me?"
"What surprises you most about humankind?"
God answered...
"That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again."
"That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health."
"That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future."
"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived."
God's hand took mine and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked...
"As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?"
"To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved."
"To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others."
"To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness."
"To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them."
"To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least."
"To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings."
"To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently."
"To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves."
"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.
"Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"
God smiled and said, "Just know that I am here... always."

Dil Ke Aarmaan..

Badi mehnat se meri duniya lutai hogi,

Meri hasti b mitai hogi,

La uske pairon me marham laga du,

Mere dil ko thokar marte unhe chaut to aayi hogi.

Bedard Kuch Dost Aise ho gaye hai hamare,

Jo hamara intezar bi nahi karte,

Kabhi humse bahot baat kiya karte the,

Ab to hame yad bhi nahi karte.

Ishq se mili hai jo tanhai humein,

Kaise uska dard bayaan karenge,

Ekse hi mohabbat itni karli,

Auro se mohabbat kya karenge.

Tera dukh hum seh nahi sakte,

Bhari mahfil me kuch keh nahi sakte,

Humare girte aansu pakad ke dekh,

Wo bhi kehte hai hum tere bin reh nahi sakte.

Har Ek Jazbat ko juban nahi milti,

Har ek aarju ko dua nahi milti,

Muskan banaye rakho to dunia hai sath,

Aansou ko tho anko mein bhi panah nahi milti.

Khul kay ezhar-e-mohabbat karna hamari aadat na thi,

Wo samajay ke humain unse mohabbat na thi,

Sari aarzu dil mein hi rah gaye,

Kabhi hum masroof the, to kabhi unhe fursat na thi.

Chote se dil ko milte jakham bahut hai,

Zindagi ko milte har pal gum bahut hai,

Mar dalti kab ki ye duniya humein,

Kambkhat aap jaise doston ki duaon mein dum bahut hai.

Humne Ansuo se poocha,

Kyu mera majak banate ho,

Sabke samne hi chale ate ho,

Ansu bole

"Mehfil me bhi aapko tanha pate hain",

To saath dene chale aate hai.

Bahut chaha magar tumko bhula na sake,

Khayalon me kisi aur ko la na sake,

Tumko dekh ke aansoo to poch liye,

Par kisi ke samne muskura na sake.

Kasur na unka tha na mera,

Hum dono hi rishton ki rasmein nibhte rahe,

Wo Dosti ka ehsaas jatate rahe,

Hum Mohabat ko dil me chupate rahe.

Jab pyar karna sikh liya, to pyar nibhana bhi sikh liya,

Jab aaye aap ki yad to palko ko jhukana bhi sikh liya,

Is dar se ki koi dekh na le ye aansu,

Har gam me muskurana bhi sikh liya.
