Invictus – William Ernest Henley

Posted by pratik in Quotes on February 5, 2010

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

-William Ernest Henley

Paritranaya sadhunam vinashaya cha dushkritam.

Dharma sansthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge.

For the upliftment of the good and virtuous,

For the destruction of evil,

For the re-establishment of the natural law,

I will come, in every age

Koshish karne walon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti…a poem by Dr.Harivansh Rai Bachchan

Posted by pratik in Quotes on October 21, 2009

Lehron se Darkar Noka paar Nahi hoti. Koshish karne walon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti…

Nanhi chinti jab Daana Lekar chalti hai. chadti Deewaron par so(100) baar fisalti hai.

Mann ka vishwaas Ragon mein sahas bharta hai.

Chadkar girna girkar chadna naa akharta hai.

Mehnat uski bekar har baar nahi hoti.

Koshish karne waalon ki Kabhie haar nahi hoti… dubkiyan samundar mein gotakhor lagata hai.

Ja ja kar khali haath laut kar aata hai.

Milte na sehaj hi MOTI gehre paani mein.

Barta dugna vishwaas issi heyrani mein.

Muthi uski khaali har baar nahi hoti.

Koshish karne walon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti… asafalta ek chunoti hai sawikaar karo. kya kami reh gayi dekho or sudhar karo.

Jab tak na safal ho neend chain ko tyago tum. sangharshon ka maidan chhor na bhago tum.

Kuch kiya bina hi jai jai kaar nahi hoti.

Koshish karne walon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti..

John Lenon – Imagine

Posted by pratik in Quotes, Random on September 11, 2009

Was just listening to Imagine by John Lenon, and felt like putting up the beautiful lyrics on this blog.. Enjoy.. :)

Imagine there’s no Heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
