and sings victory of the son

"To experience poetry is to see over and above reality. It is to discover that which is beyond the physical, to experience another life and another level of feeling. It is to wonder about the world, to understand the nature of people and, most importantly, to be shared with another, old or young, known or unknown."

mere dil main pal kar ho giya hai baDa -

nahin si patta- hun
mera bageecha suk giya hai.
