Salaamaleykum,
I came across this song, and found the lyrics quite inspirational. So, why not share?
Here's the link to the video of the song

Toota Toota Ek Parinda Aise Toota
An angel was so badly broken
Ke Phir Jud Naa Paaya
That he could not be healed

Loota Loota Kisne Usko Aise Loota
Somebody stole (the wings) from the angel
Ke Phir Ud Naa Paaya
Till he was unable to fly

(repeat)

Girta Hua Woh Asma Se
He fell from the sky
Aakar Gira Zameen Par
Onto the earth

Khwabon Mein Phir Bhi Badal Hi The
Yet in his dreams there were still only clouds
Woh Kehta Raha Magar
And he kept saying

*Ke Allah Ke Bande Hasde
That the people of Allah will always be laughing (happy)
Allah Ke Bande
People of God...
Allah Ke Bande Hasde Jo Bhi Ho Kal Phir Aayega
The people of Allah will always be laughing... whatever happens, tomorrow will still come

(repeat *)

Kho Ke Aapne Par Hi To Usne Tha Ud Naa Sikha
Only after losing his wings did he learn to fly
Kho Ke Aapne Par Hi To
Only after losing his wings...

Kho Ke Aapne Par Hi To Usne Tha Ud Naa Sikha
Only after losing his wings did he learn to fly

Gham Ko Aapne Saath Mein Lele Dard Bhi Tere Kaam Aayega
Take your sorrow with you, for the pain will be of use to you

*Ke Allah Ke Bande Hasde
That the people of Allah will always be laughing (happy)
Allah Ke Bande
People of God...
Allah Ke Bande Hasde Jo Bhi Ho Kal Phir Aayega
The people of Allah will always be laughing... whatever happens, tomorrow will still come

(repeat *)

Tukde Tuke Ho Gaya Tha Har Sapna Jab Woh Toota
He broke into pieces when every dream of his broke

Tukde Tuke Ho Gaya Tha
He broke into peices

Tukde Tuke Ho Gaya Tha Har Sapna Jab Woh Toota
He broke into pieces when every dream of his broke

Bhikre Tukdon Mein Allah Ki Marzi Ka Manzar Paayega
It is only in the scattered pieces of your dreams that you will find the meaning of Allah's Will.

*Ke Allah Ke Bande Hasde
That the people of Allah will always be laughing (happy)
Allah Ke Bande
People of God...
Allah Ke Bande Hasde Jo Bhi Ho Kal Phir Aayega
The people of Allah will always be laughing... whatever happens, tomorrow will still come

(repeat *)
(repeat *)

Salaamaleykum,

A few weeks ago, on a children's Hindi Song singing competition (Zee's SaReGaMaPa Lil' Champs), one of the kids sang a song that mesmerised the hearts of everyone that heard it...and not to mention the tears it brought.Here's the song on YouTube :
Tujhsa Naraaz Nahin Zindegi from Masoom(1983)

And so that you get the feel of what I'm talking about, here's the translation of the song:

I am not upset with you, life.. I am astonished;
To your innocent questions,I am distressed.

I never thought that in order to live, I would have to take care of woes;
To smile, I would have to take on the debt of smiling;
If I were to smile, it seems that I would have to incur this debt upon my lips.

Today, if my eyes fill with tears, then they will fall;
Who knows whom these eyes will long for tomorrow;
Who knows where I lost;
The one tear I had kept hidden.

Life, your sorrows have taught us new bonds;
Whomever you shall meet in the sunlight;
You will feel the cool shade of love.

    This song perfectly narrates the thoughts that's going in my mind and heart right now. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.After all, this is one of the Evergreen of Bollywood.
    Before I go far, let me recommend you to watch Masoom (Innocent). This wonderful movie made me almost weep like a baby.Naseeruddin, Shabna and little Jugal Hansraj acted splendidly...extra applause to Jugal for his extraordinary act as an child actor. Watch here.

    Ok back to the issue...
    Life is beautiful, but it sometimes ask us questions to which,we have no answer. When this happen, we get stressed out and become walking zombies, due to excessive worry and thoughts. But we never hate life for that, as I said, Life's beautiful.
    Sometimes, we say life's not fair...note down every time you say that,and you WILL realise that, sooner or later, you'll be saying life's beautiful again. Every misery that touches us,every headache/heartache/worry we receive, there's a good side behind it.
   If the great fire of London never happened, London would have remained filthy and plague-infested...and never rose to be a major city in the world.
    Well, of course, this is life, its not heaven. Having our heart crushed, painful incidents, emotionally tormenting scenarios are inevitable. At such times, people we love comes in handy..be they friends or family.
    Bottom line, things happen for a reason...we just need to open our eyes and minds and search for the silver line.
    Life is a voyage, fantastic, exciting unique voyage. Bon Voyage.

    Allah Madad!

Salaamaleykum

Sorry for the long delays.And to those people i normally stalk, i'm so sorry i cant stalk you guys much...my PC is really jamming up.I've been trying to write this post for at least one week.lol.

well, so that day, i was in my deep thought mode...and i came to a conclusion...life is masala...

Just in case you do not know what a Masala is...

A seasoning made by blending dry-roasted, ground spices, such as black pepper, cumin, cloves, and cardamom, used in the cooking of northern India.

[Urdu garm maṣāliḥ, garam masālā, hot spices : garm, garam, hot, burning (from Persian garm, from Middle Persian, from Old Persian garma-, in garma-pada, entrance of the heat, month name) + maṣāliḥ, masālā, ingredients, mixture of spices (from Persian masāleḥ, from Arabic maṣāliḥ, pl. of maṣlaha, benefit, from ṣalaḥa, to be good).]

So its the mixture of many types of spices...just like the Masalaa...
in life..there's good times, sad times,hopeful moments, crashed moments, tears, smiles, adrenalin rush, broken hearts, and so on and so forth.
Life is, indeed,Masala.

Now, there are many types of Masala- Bombay Masala, Hydrebadi Masala, National Briyani Masala, Shan Masala,..etc.

Again, just like the variety of Masalas, there are variety of lifes we live. A Briyani Masala can NEVER be like a Gosht Masala ...the mixture of spices is different. The composition is different for every different type of Masala.
My life, or rather, masala is different from yours.You might have more friends than me, but i might have more smiles then you.or maybe vice versa.
My point is...one's life,one's Masala composition is totally different from another's masala composition..er..life. So...we should be ourselves.we must want to be unique, there's no point having two packets of Bombay Masala when we can have one Bombay masala and one fish Masala.
BE UNIQUE...YOU ARE SPECIAL...THERE'S NO MASALA LIKE YOU!
