"Destined Minds"

LOVE THAT SMILES

love that smiles
and lights the face anew

the warm embrace of friendship
from sweetness of invitation grew

the yearning of all desire
sincerity of heart and pure the joy that be

your love that calls each one near
the indian jewel that time reflects the beauty that we see

For God alone placed the precious gem among our midst
so give praise to the creator that let passion burn so bright

and shared with us but a moment
strength today and bright hope we call tomorrow (kal)

Shukhriya, shukhriya for the blessing (so thank you for the blessing)
for life is niether kala nor safed (black nor white)
and you are the sweetness of grape..अंगूर (angur)

you are air to me ( Hava हवा )
meetha, meetha Bay-hen (sweet, sweet sister)

and now you will feel a warmer Bay-hen (sun)
and dance under a brighter moon (chand spogmai)

where the sky's are deeper (asman asman)
and stars shine more brilliantly (ek tara)

and rain is purer (baris baran)
that falls into the river where many a tear is falling (darya sind)

and all that is left is the smile you put on our face.....
