Shadan Poem-Main Jo Hoo, Woh Main Hoo


§  Jo banaya Tumne voh ban gaye hum
Khuda ki rehmat se khush ho gaye hum

Teri marzi tu jane, bane jo hum deewane
apne shaikh ki mohabbat main kho gaye hum

asghar gondvi

Asraar-E-Ishq Hai Dil-E-Muztar Liye Huwe
Qatra Hai Beqaraar Samandar Liye Huwe

Kya Mastiyaan Chaman Main Hain Josh-E-Bahaar Se
Har Shaakh-E-Gul Hai Haath Mein Saaghar Liye Huwe

Pehli Nazar Bhi Aap Ki Uf Kis Balaa Ki Thhi
Hum Aaj Tak Woh Chot Hain Dil Par Liye Huwe

Tasveer Hai Khinchi Hui Naaz-O-Niyaaz Ki
Main Sar Jhukaaye Aur Woh Khanjar Liye Huwe

Main Kya Kahun, Kahaan Hai Muhabbat, Kahaan Nahin
Rag Rag Mein Daudi Phirti Hai Nashtar Liye Huwe

Asghar Hareem-E-Ishq Mein Hasti Hi Jurm Hai
Rakhna Kabhi Na Paaon Yahaan Sar Liye Huwe

miscellaneous

Hai kahan tamanna ka doosra qadam Yarab
Hum Nai dasht-e-imkaan ko ek naqsh-e-paa paya - ghalib

Aina kyun na dun k tamasha kahen jise
aisa kahan se laun k tujhsa kahen jise

"ghalib" bura na man jo waiz bura kahe
aisa bhi koi hai k sab acha kahen jise

surme ka khaal mushafe ariz pe kis liye
nuqta barha rahe ho khuda ki kitaab main - qamar jalalvi

ishq insaan ko diwana bana deta hai
apne mahol se begana bana deta hai
husn anware ilahi ka majazi paikar
jaam kausar ka nazron se pila deta hai - marghoob

hamne ajab majra dekha
chote logon ka dil bara dekha
dast-e qatil ki sangdili dekhi
marne walon ka hausla dekha - marghoob

Iqbal and Khudi

ki Haqq se farishton ne Iqbal ki ghammaazi
gustaakh hai karta hai fitrat ki hinabandi

khaki hai magar iske andaaz hai aflaki
roomi hai na shaami hai kaashi na samarkandi

sikhlaayi farishton ko aadam ki tarap isne
aadam ko sikhaata hai aadaab-e-Khuda'wandi

khudi ki jalwaton mein kibriya, khudi ki khalwaton mein mustafai
zameen o aasaman o arsh o kursi, khudi ki zadd mein hai sari khudai (1)

The angels began to speak behind Iqbal
'This creation of clay is of heavenly nature

Rumi it is not, not is it Shami,
Kashi(Benaras) it isn't; nor Samarkandi;

It taught the Angels the torture of Adam,
It brought Adam to worship the Divine (2)

Selfhood in the world of men is prophethood; Selfhood in solitude is godliness;
The earth, the heavens, the great empyrean, Are all within the range of Selfhood's power. (3)

__________________________________________

Khudi ka sirr-e-nihaaN La ilaha il Allah
khudi hai tegh-e-fasaaN La ilaha il Allah

The secret of the Self is hid, In words "No god but He alone".
The Self is just a dull-edged sword, "No god but He," the grinding stone.


Yeh daur apne 'Braaheem ki talaash mein hai
Sanam-kadah hai jahaaN La ilaha il Allah

An Abraham by the age is sought To break the idols of this Hall:
The avowal of God's Oneness can Make all these idols headlong fall.


Kiya hai tu ne mataa'-e-gharoor ka sauda
fareb-e-sood-o-ziyaaN ! La ilaha il Allah

A bargain you have struck for goods Of life, a step, that smacks conceit,
All save the Call "No god but He" Is merely fraught with fraud and deceit.


Yeh maal o dawlat-e-dunya, yeh ristha o paivand
butaan-e-vehm-o-gumaaN! La ilaha il Allah

The worldly wealth and riches too, Ties of blood and friends a dream
The idols wrought by doubts untrue, All save God's Oneness empty seem.


Khird huwee hai zamaan o makaan ki zunaari
na hai zamaaN, na makaaN! La ilaha il Allah

The mind has worn the holy thread Of Time and Space like pagans all
Though Time and Space both illusive "No god but He" is true withal.


Yeh naghma fasl-e-gul o laaleh ka nahin paband
bahaar ho ke khizaaN, La ilaha il Allah

These melodious songs are not confined To Time when rose and tulip bloom
Whatever the season of year be "No god but He" must ring till doom.


Agarche but hain jama'at ki aasteenoN mein
mujhe hai hukm-e-azaaN, La ilaha il Allah

Many idols are still concealed' In their sleeves by the Faithful Fold,
I am ordained by Mighty God To raise the call and be much bold.

Kab Mera Nasheman

Kab mera nasheman ahl e chaman gulshan main gawara kartay hain
Ghunchay apni awazoon main bijli ko pukara kartay hain

Ponch na arq rukhsaroon say rangin e husn ko barhnay doo
Suntay hain k shabnam kay qatray pholoon ko sanwara kartay hain

Ab nazah ka aalam hai mujh per tum apni mohabbat wapis lo
Jub kashti doobnay lagti hai tou bojh utara kartay hain

Jati hoi maiyat dekh kar bhi Wallah tum uth kar aa na sakay
Doo chal qadam tou dushman bhi takleef gawara kartay ahin

Taroon ki baharoon mein bhi Qamar tum afsurda say rehtay ho
Phoolon ko dekho kanton main hans hans kar guzara kartay hain

dekho tu husn-e-yaar ki jadoo nigahiyaan

Become a Leader Yourself

When a situation calls upon you to demonstrate leadership skills, those skills need to come to the fore naturally and instantly. And because all good leaders share the same qualities, you can imprint these upon your unconscious mind using hypnosis.
Perhaps you are a manager or want to organize people in a sporting context or maybe you want to rise to the top of your profession. Whatever the context, being a leader; knowing how to lead and, importantly, feeling like a leader will be a huge bonus.
  • Leaders know how to inspire which means they exude confidence.
  • Leaders know how to positively influence others without seeming bossy or over bearing.
  • Leaders know how to be a part of the team and don't seek glory for themselves at the expense of others (although they do gain great respect as a by-product of their leadership).
  • Leaders have 'grace under fire'. Leaders know how to think on their feet which means they are calm.
  • Leaders have confidence and are not afraid to make mistakes and take responsibility.
  • Leaders are not control freaks - they know how to delegate and trust others to do well.
  • Leaders look like leaders - not in physical stature but in the way they move, speak and relate to others. When you feel like a leader you will have the body language of a leader.
Be a Leader will inspire you with confidence and help program your instincts with the leadership edge. To truly be a leader you need confidence and calm. Only when you are calm can you see clearly what needs doing. This powerful hypnotic session will help you become a true leader.

3G Mobiles Internet access

Previously, we discussed how to select a wireless Internet access method for corporate laptops. Most workers who choose 3G wireless will either buy a new laptop with embedded 3G or add a new 3G card to an existing laptop. But don't overlook a third option that just might prove less expensive, so why not use a 3G phone for Internet access.

Benefits and limitations

Embedded and after-market 3G adapters provide Internet access by connecting a host (i.e., laptop, desktop, PDA) to a carrier's EV-DO or HSDPA data network. Embedded 3G is the most convenient option for those who require very frequent on-the-go Internet access. An after-market PC or Express card is slightly less convenient, and these small devices may be mislaid, stolen or broken. Both have a costly down-side: 3G adapters require their own service subscription, usually with a long-term contract. Going 3G this way commits you to spending Rs.4000-8000/month for the next one to two years, depending on your carrier and data limit.

Alternatively, a mobile worker who has already purchased a 3G phone, or who expects to do so in the near future, should consider tethering that phone to his or her laptop. Depending on your phone and laptop, those two devices may be linked using Bluetooth, Infrared (IrDA), USB cable or serial cable. The tethered host treats the linked 3G phone as a modem, using dial-up networking or a carrier-supplied wireless connection manager to initiate calls to the carrier's network.
The main advantage of cell phone tethering is the ability to get more mileage out of a single 3G subscription. Travelers who already pay for unlimited wireless data on a RAZR, BlackBerry, Blackjack or similar handset may find it less expensive to tether that phone instead of buying a separate wireless adapter and service plan. For example, a Verizon Broadband Access Data subscriber will pay an extra Rs.1500 per month to add the Broadband Access Connect feature (tethering) to an existing Smartphone account, without incurring a card activation fee or requiring another service contract.
Tethering is a good way to trial 3G laptop connectivity without making a long-term commitment. It can also help 3G subscribers satisfy both Smartphone and laptop wireless Internet access needs at a lower total monthly cost. But there are drawbacks:
Those who don't already have a compatible phone, or don't already have a data plan for that handset, could end up spending more for both than the price of a dedicated 3G wireless adapter. Those with limited MB-per-month plans may need to upgrade to an unlimited data plan to accommodate the combined bandwidth consumption.
Tethering has a significant impact on ease of use. Connecting a Bluetooth-enabled laptop to a Bluetooth-enabled Smartphone is reasonably convenient but will eat into the phone's battery life. USB tethering may not consume as much handset power but requires carrying a cable and connecting it whenever Internet access is desired.
Mobile workers who need to talk on the phone while connected to the Internet cannot use one tethered handset to meet both needs simultaneously. When a laptop places a data call using a tethered modem, that phone cannot make or receive voice calls until the data session is terminated. Running a VoIP soft phone on the laptop is a possible work-around but is less convenient than just using the handset directly for voice calls.

Forgiveness

Learning to forgive can feel like one of life’s harder lessons. So many seemingly-logical objections arise such as "why should I, after what they did to me?"
However, long lasting bitterness, resentment and hate is so damaging, not only to your enjoyment of life, but to your health. Bitterness chews you up inside and spoil your time on this Earth.
Forgiving someone doesn’t mean tolerating or excusing the bad that was done. But the shock, even horror of what happened needs to register only for a while. After that you need to move on from it for your own peace of mind.
Don't let resentment color all of life
The worst kind of bitterness is when a person is treated badly by one person but then starts to resent all people. This kind of negative over-generalizing is called ‘globalizing’ and you need to be aware that you don’t start to unfairly ‘tar everyone with the same brush'.
And as for thoughts of revenge there is a wonderful old saying: Do unto others what is worthy of you, not what is worthy of them'. This encourages us to treat people in accordance with our own values and character regardless of what they have done.
Imagine when you can think about the events in question and feel calm and even indifferent. What a relief! How much more space you’ll have in your mind and life. When you truly forgive and move on you can put the past behind you and get on with life.

                                                                                              When I Came to the U.S.A.

  It was hard; one man was pinning me; he was huge strong so I couldn't get up.  I was on the wresting team in the high school.  It was hard to get in, but I knew that I would do it.  I tried for that and I got in.  I fought that match.  I lost that match.  Later, on I was on the varsity wrestling team.  I won five matches.  It was amazing.  In India when I was young, like ten years old, I saw so many wrestling matches on T.V. and it was amazing.  From that time, my mind was moving to wrestling.  I decided when I grew up, I would join the wrestling team.  Now I am touching my goal.  My dream came true.  I love these Kinds of sports.  It is over for this school year, but I will try again next time.
  It was snowing outisde.  In India I hadn't seen snow and I saw it for the first time when I came to the U.S.A. in 1997.  I had to change two planes.  I had never been on a plane before, so this was my first experience.  It was a good experiece.  When I came to the airport, the weather was so different from India.
  In the U.S.A., I worked for the first time.  It was amazing and interesting.  It was pretty hard because at that time I didn't know very much English; after four or five months I knew a little bit of English.  I did cashier work during summer vacation.  I worked because I wanted to buy a computer and my parents didn't have enough money for that, so I had to work.
  I had three weeks to plan for my high school.  I was nervous.  Finally, I got in the high school.  The first day in high school it was so difficult.  During that time I didn't know what to do, which way my classes were, but later on I got everything I needed to know.  I was learning many things in high school.  I made many friends in high school.  I saw many different students like white students, black students, different country's students like African, Korean, Chinese, Italian and Mexicans.  I saw that all these people have their different language, and different cultures.  All other country's people have different personalities, like they walk differently and they speak English differently, but one thing is common in high school: every one has to speak Englsih.
  During the three weeks of planning for my high school, I went to so many different stores.  It was different than in India, but I was better.  In India there were no big stores like in U.S.A.  In the U.S.A., the stores have different sections like a food section, a drink section, a milk section, but in India it's different.  It is all mixed together.  It was confusing too.  In India, the schools are also different thatn in the U.S.A.  In the U.S., students have to switch classes--all the teachers have to do it.  India is different from the U.S.A. like in stores, schools, in education and colleges.
  I came to the U.S.A. for a good education because I heard that from some of my friends, my cousins, and everybody in my family.  My future goal is to be a computer engineer.  I hope I will be successful for my goal.  This was my biggest change in my life when I came to U.S.A.
