Aditi's Poem

Aditi's Beautiful Tribute to Nook at his Memorial Service

Nook, our friend so dear
Honored to call you friend
You've left behind a tear
That can't ever be mend!

All your loved ones
Both far and near
Love and miss you tonnes
The memories are so clear!

Your love, your laugh, your care,
Your friendship so deep
Your passion, your flair
Is for us to keep!

The sight of the setting sun
The sound of birds in the sky
The drives by the ocean
Is for us to remember you by!

The mention of your name
The taste of coffee n beer
The excitement of a game
Is sure to bring a tear!

On a full moon night
You were graciously born
And another similar sight
Was seen when you were gone!

We are so proud today
You put in an inspirational fight
Yet it took you away
The darkness of a moonlit night!

All the words unsaid
Will remain unsaid forever
All the moments ahead
Will sadly happen never!

Space that keeps us apart
Can never be filled
A part of our heart
Has forever been killed!

You will always be
In our prayers and thought
Though you will never see
We will miss you lot!

Wish you rest in peace
Whereever you are
You will live in our memories
Although you have gone too far!

जिंदगी क्या है ?

बस कुछ दिन, कुछ रातें
पल से पल की कुछ गांठें
बना जाते हैं कुछ किस्से
बस थोडे से ही आते हिस्से !

कुछ इंतज़ार कराते
कुछ बिन बुलाए चले आते
कहाँ से आते, कहाँ चले जाते
बिन खब्बर कहीं खो जाते !

कुछ भूल जाते, कुछ भुलाए जाते
कुछ सकूं देते, कुछ सताए जाते
कुछ यादें बनाए, कुछ मिटाए जाते
कुछ बीत जाते, कुछ बिताए जाते !

कुछ ख़ुशी, कुछ ग़म में मिट जाते
कुछ अपने साथ, कुछ दूसरों में बट जात
न क़ाबू आते, न रुकते
किसी के आगे नहीं झुकते !

जितने भी मिलें , जैसे भी मिलें
जो भी मिले, जहां भी मिले
इस एकपल में डाल दो अपनी जाँ
एक पल ही तो है, जिसका कोइ नहीं इमाँ !

OR (if u cant read hindi but understand the words)

Zindagi kya hai?

bus kuch din, kuch raate
pal se pal ki kuch gaanthe
bana jate hai kuch kissey
bus thode se hi aate hissey!

kuch intezaar karate
kuch bin bulaye chale aate
kahan se aate, kahan ko jate
bin khabar kahi kho jate!

kuch bhool jate, kuch bhoolay jate
kuch sakoon dete, kuch sataye jate
kuch yaadein banye, kuch mitaye jate
kuch beet jate, kuch bitaye jate!

kuch khushi, kuch gum mein mit jate
kuch apne saath, kuch doosron mein but jate
na kaaboo aate, no rukte
kisi ke aage nahin jhukte!

jitne bhi mile, jaise bhi mile
jo bhi mile, jahan bhi mile
iss ek pal mein daal do apni jaan
ek pal hi to hai jiska koi nahin imaan!
