Million Dollar Baby

Frankie Dunn: It wasn't fault. I was wrong to say that.

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: You damn right. I found you a fighter. You made her the best fighter she could be.

Frankie Dunn: I killed her.

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Don't say that. Maggie walked through that door with nothing buts guts. No chance in the world of being what she needed to be. It was because of you that she was fighting the championship of the world. You did that. People die everyday, Frankie - mopping floors, washing dishes and you know what their last thought is? I never got my shot. Because of you Maggie got her shot. If she dies today you know what her last thought would be? I think I did all right.

sarakti jaaye haiN rukh se naqaab aahistaa-aahista

sarakti jaaye haiN rukh se naqaab aahistaa-aahista
nikalta aa raha hai aaftaab aahistaa-aahista 
[rukh - face, aaftaab - sun,face ]

jawaN hone lage jab wo to humse kar liya parda
hayaa yakalaKht aaee aur shabaaB aahistaa-aahista
[Yak Laqt - All of a sudden, shabaaB - Juvenility  ]

sab-e-furkat ka jaaga hoon paristhoN ab to sone do
kabhi fursat meiN kar lena hisaab aahistaa-aahista
[sab-e-furkat- Night Of Separation]

Sawal-e-wasl par unko udu ka kwof hai itna 
dab-e-hoton se dete hai jawab ahista ahista  
[Sawal-e-wasl - asking for a date, udu - rival] 

hamaare aur tumhaare pyaar meiN bas farq hai itna
idhar to jaldi jaldi hai udhar aahistaa-aahista

baDi bedardi se sar kaate 'ameer' aur maiN kahooN unse
huzur aahistaa aahistaa janaab aahistaa-aahista

Go not to the temple

Go not to the temple to put flowers upon the feet of God
First fill your own house with the fragrance of love

Go not to the temple to light candles before the altar of God
First remove the darkness of sin from your heart

Go not to the temple to bow down your head in prayer
First learn to bow in humility before your fellowmen

GO not to the temple to pray on bended knees
First bend down to lift someone who is down-trodden

Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness of your sins
First forgive from your heart those who have sinned against you

- Rabindranath Tagore

You're nobody til somebody loves you


You're nobody til somebody loves you
You're nobody til somebody cares
You may be king, you may possess the world and it's gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growing old
The world still is the same, you never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody til somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love

The world still is the same, you never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
Well, you're nobody til somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love
