Death be not proud

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou thinkst thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow
And soonest our best men with thee do go
Rest of their bones and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppies or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke. Why swellst thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die!

The first few balls were l

Maut tu ek kavita hai

Maut tu ek kavitaa hai mujhse ek kavita ka vada hai milegi mujhko doobti nabzon mein jab dard ko neend aane lage zard sa chehra lekar jab chaand ufaq tak pahunche din abhi paani mein ho, raat kinaare ke kareeb na andhera na ujaala ho, na abhi raat na din jism jab khatm ho aur rooh ko jab saans aaye mujhse ek kavita ka waada hai milegi mujhko
