My favorite poems

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

By Robert Frost 1874–1963 Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

From the movie 'Wake Up Sid'. Lyrics by Gulzar,
Sung by :Shankar Mahadevan

Boondon ke motiyon mein ghulke ehsaas aaya
Waqt se nikal ke lamha dil ke paas aaya
Chhoo ke guzra tha par dil ko na mehsoos hua
Ab jo dekha to wo lamha dil ko raas aaya
Yoon.. kehte.. kal na paaun re
Dil ki baat mai hawa ke zariye pohchaun re
Ya khud hawa pe chalke aaun re
Tumse pyar hai ye khulke.. jinme keh paaun re
Lafz wo kahan se laaun re
Wake up....... there 's your callin '
there 's your callin '
Life...... is comin ' your way.

Weeping willow with your tears running down,
Why do you always weep and frown?
Is it because he left you one day?
Is it because he couldn't stay?
On your branches he would swing -
Do you long for the happiness that day would bring?
He found shelter in your shade
You thought his laughter would never fade.
Weeping willow, stop your tears
For there is something to calm your fears.
You think death has ripped you forever apart,
But I know he'll always be in your heart.
