એક ઢળતી સાંજે મને અચાનક જ તારી યાદ આવી, જાણે વરસતી વાદલડીમાં ભીની માટીની સુગંધ આવી

You possess only that which will not be lost in death;
all else is illusion -

Friendship Of "The Souls"

Have you ever felt like you knew someone a long, long time ago?
Another place, another time, a friendship of the souls?
Two people who share a bond for reasons neither know,
A feeling that they were friends, a long, long time ago?

Did they stumble onto each other by pure circumstance,
Or was it fate and destiny that played a certain hand?
Two souls intertwined, they are worlds apart,
But the soul, it knows no difference, in matters of the heart.

Somehow they are drawn together, fate has brought them back,
Each living worlds apart, they journey separate paths,
When this life is over, and a new life begins,
Their souls will find each other, two souls that we call friends.

The truth of one’s soul is silent
important only to oneself
for my truths are not necessarily your truths’
so silent it will be
until in silence our truths
will meet and we laugh
to find that they are only
reflections of one another.

I am the wind, sea & sail
I am the ship for any gale
I am the sky, cloud filled blue
I am it all, strong and true
I am setting off to far new lands
I am it all, Godself in man.

The beauty I see in you
is not just the beauty of your face,
It is the beauty of your soul.

The love I feel for you,
is not the love of your physical being,
It is the love for your soul, your inner being.
And that love, that feeling is
so beautiful, that it cannot be explained.
It is something that has no bounds, no limits.

It is completely free,
free like the air, free like the ocean.
It is not bound by
space, time or age.

And therefore even though we rarely meet,
I am always loving you,
and you are always with me.

-  Abhay

Friendship is something that grows through the years
Withstanding feelings of anger, joy and tears
It is something you cannot live without
A friend you can turn to when in doubt
They should listen carefully and not speak a word
For you would do the same when they want to be heard
A person you can confide in, learn from and trust
This is a friend and everyone must be able to have someone just like this
Not a boyfriend to hug, cuddle and kiss
But a person so special, faithful and true
The only one I can think of is a person like you
Our friendship is strong, healthy and great
Through the years I see its wonderful fate
A fate of laughs, greatness and fun
We have only one life to live and this is the one
The past- full of memories that runs through my head
The bad ones never talked about or said
Every moment of life should glisten with fresh morning dew
This reminds me of the greatest friendship one ever knew.

How I wish I were the gentle moonlight,
that brings out your beauty.

How I wish I were the wind that,
Softly flows across your face.

How I wish I were the raindrops,
Falling on your face gently touching you.

How I wish I were the flower that,
You kiss with your lips.

How I wish I were the note of music that,
softly touches your heart & soul.

But all these things last but for a few moments,

And I wish you were in my arms,
Here & now & we are together forever.

- Abhay

In your arms, I had found my strength.
In your eyes, I had found my vision.
In your words, I had found my speech.
In your heart, I had found my love.
In your touch, I had found my feelings.
In you, I had found myself.
I am lost without you.

- Abhay

My heart soars like a bird,
flying in the wide open sky,
when I feel your love.
Even though all I get is a glimpse
of your love now and then,
just like you can feel the warmth of the sun,
on a cold and cloudy day.
But I know that with the power of your love,
I will rise above the clouds
and feel the warmth always.

- Abhay

Deep into the night,
When the world has gone to sleep,

I lie here on the sand,
Watching the twinkling stars,
And listening to the music of the waves & the wind.

I dream of you,
You are so far away,
Yet so near,
Because love is beyond all physical barriers.

- Abhay

I wish I could help you in the dark times of your life.

If I could,

I would be a candle that burns itself,
To bring you out of the dark.

I would be a glow-worm that would
Bring you a small glow of hope.

I would be the lamp that burns
As long as you want.

I would perish myself if I could
To bring a smile on your lips
& a light to warm your heart.

- Abhay

However far my eye may wander,
Thou standest before me!

For the Heavens & the splendour of the stars
Are thy image!

कोशिश तो रोज़ करते हैं के वक़्त से समझौता कर लें,,

कम्बख़्त दिल के कोने में छुपी उम्मीद मानती ही नहीं...

अच्छा ख़ासा बैठे-बैठे ग़ुम हो जाती हूँ,

अब मैं अक्सर, मैं नहीं रहती तुम हो जाती हूँ..

ऐ खुदा अगर तेरे कलम की स्याही खत्म है तो, 

मेरा लहू लेले,

पर यूं कहानियां अधूरी ना लिखा कर...

તારું અને મારુ ,
.......સરનામું મળે એમ તો નથી...

છતાં કોઈ શોધે તારામાં...

...અને હું ના મળું. સાવ એવું પણ નથી..

एक साँस भी पुरी नही होती तेरे ख्यालो के बिना,. तुमने ये कैसे सोचा कि, हम जिदंगी गुजार देगे तेरे बिना..!! तलब ऐसी कि साँसों में समां लूं तुझे और किस्मत ऐसी कि, तुझे देखने को भी मोहताज हूँ मैं..!!

“The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.” 
― Rumi, The Illuminated Rumi
