सामने चमकने वाले सितारे को तुम्हारा दर्पण बनाए।

दिन के उजालों से हूँ मैं थोड़ा परेशान,

रात के अन्धेरे में शायद तुम्हारा चेहरा नज़र आए।

___________________________________________

2. आसमाँ में देखो तो सितारे दिखाई देते हैं,

नीचे देखो तो ये लोग सारे दिखाई देते हैं।

ये ग़म इसका है, ये ग़म उसका है,

भई हमें तो सारे ग़म हमारे दिखाई देते हैं।

अरे। आँखों में आँसू लिए हमारा इन्तज़ार करते होंगे,

कौन जाने किस दिन मुलाकात हो जाए,

हमारी तरह वो भी खुद को रोज़ तैयार करते होंगे।

____________________________________________________

2. कभी हम यूँ ही कभी यूँ ही दिल जलाया करते हैं,

कभी कोई आँसू छलका देता है, कभी ये यूँ ही छलक जाया करते हैं।

____________________________________________________

3. मैं सारा दिन खुशीयों का राह देखता हूँ,

और तुम्हे देखने भर से खुशी मिल जाती है।

____________________________________________________

4. वो हमें छोड़ कर गए और वापस ना आए,

हम तो ढूँढते ही रह गए उनकी यादों के साए। (Happens to be my first poetic creation, ever)

____________________________________________________

जिनको दिलो-जान से हमने अपना माना,

वो सुनाते गए हम सुनते गए, हमारी बेवफ़ाई,

और हमसे बनाया भी न गया कोई वफ़ाई का बहाना।

_____________________________________________________

2. सपने में तुम आए हो या सपना तुम्हारा आया है,

तुम नहीं जानते तुम्हारी याद ने हमें कितना रुलाया है।

सपने में ही सही तुम दिखे तो,

लम्बी अमावस के बाद आज पूरा चाँद नज़र आया है।

_____________________________________________________

3. ठोकर लगे तो आह की बजाए तुम्हारा नाम होठों पे आता है,

खुशी मिले तो वाह की बजाए तुम्हारा नाम होठों पे आता है,

ये सारे लोग कहते हैं कि तुम बोलते बहुत हो

लेकिन मैं जब भी बोलता हूँ, तुम्हारा नाम होठों पे आता है।

Hindi alphabet contains lots of sounds that follow a definite pattern. The consonants are categorized according to their pronouncing style. There are lots of sounds that are produced by combining two consonants. Apart from this, there is a concept of using the half sound, which is prevalent is many other languages of the world. However, the complete letter has a conjunct sound of any consonant with the vowel अ. In Microsoft Windows, Mangal font is used for writing Hindi Alphabet, which is also used for writing Sanskrit Alphabet and Marathi Alphabet.

Below is the list of Hindi Alphabet and some examples of English language where the same sound is used. It is noticeable here that all the sounds of Hindi Alphabet can’t be produced in English and therefore no potent example could be provided for them.

Apart from these symbols, there are two types of half-sound of ‘r’ that is used in Hindi. One after the bearing consonant and one before the bearing consonant. The symbol is not present as such in the Mangal Font but can be made by pressing the Shift+3 keys. This symbol will put the half-sound of ‘r’ in the foot of the consonant and its sound would come after the consonant. Typing र and then using the key ‘d’ to make it half and then pressing the next consonant would make the symbol of ‘r’ that is sounded before the bearing consonant. This symbol will be placed above the consonant. Hindi is one of the official languages used in India and can be used for communication through the Northern India except the Dravidian Plateau of South India. In the states of Kerela, Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu, and Karnataka, Hindi is not that much popular.
