Zara Samajh
Tiere is à pleasure in the pales woods,
Tiere is rapture on the lonely shore,
There is socery where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music ints rar:
I love not man the les, but nature more.
The sea is emotion incarnate,
U loves, fates, and weeps and watt
We defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects
all shackles,
[No matter what you say about it, fre ts alas that
ich you cant tacke
The stars are like the trees in the forest,
And they e watching consoling through the sorest
Cox there are times when the wolves are silent
But the moon seems like a victim of violence
Ye Mausam Bft Kita pyara fat,
Karti ye Hawayein kuch ishara hat,
Zara samjfo inke jazbato ko,
Ye ka raft fal apko kisi ne Dil se Pukara ft

The sun goes dex, but gentle warmth

The musie stops, yet echoes on in sweet, soulful refains.
For every joy that pases, something beautiful remains
