હરિને ભજતાં હજી કોઈની લાજ જતાં નથી જાણી રે;
જેની સુરતા શામળિયા સાથ, વદે વેદ વાણી રે.
વહાલે ઉગાર્યો પ્રહલાદ, હરણાકંસ માર્યો રે;
વિભીષણને આપ્યું રાજ, રાવણ સંહાર્યો રે. હરિને…
વહાલે નરસિંહ મહેતાને હાર, હાથોહાથ આપ્યો રે;
ધ્રુવને આપ્યું અવિચળ રાજ, પોતાનો કરી થાપ્યો રે. હરિને…
વહાલે મીરાં તે બાઈનાં વિખ હળાહળ પીધાં રે;
પંચાળીનાં પૂર્યાં ચીર, પાંડવકામ કીધાં રે. હરિને…
વહાલે આગે સંતોનાં કામ, પૂરણ કરિયાં રે;
ગુણ ગાય ગેમલ કરજોડ, હેતે દુ:ખ હરિયાં રે. હરિને…

શ્યામ રંગ સમીપે ન જાવું, મારે આજ થકી શ્યામ રંગ સમીપે ન જાવું.
જેમાં કાળાશ તે તો સૌ એકસરખું, સર્વમાં કપટ હશે આવું…. મારે..
કસ્તુરી કેરી બિંદી તો કરું નહીં, કાજળ ના આંખમાં અંજાવું…. મારે…
કોકિલાનો શબ્દ હું સુણું નહીં કાને, કાગવાણી શકુનમાં ન લાવું…. મારે…
નીલાંબર કાળી કંચુકી ન પહેરું, જમનાનાં નીરમાં ન ન્હાવું…. મારે…
મરકતમણિ ને મેધ દ્રષ્ટે ના જોવા, જાંબુવંત્યાક ના ખાવું…. મારે…
દયાના પ્રીતમ સાથે મુખે નીમ લીધો, મન કહે જે ‘પલક ના નિભાવું!’… મારે…

આ નભ ઝૂક્યું તે કાનજી

આ સરવર જલ તે કાનજી
ને પોયણી તે રાધા રે,
આ બાગ ખીલ્યો તે કાનજી
ને લ્હેરી જતી તે રાધા રે,
આ પરવત-શિખર કાનજી
ને કેડી ચડે તે રાધા રે,
આ ચાલ્યાં ચરણ તે કાનજી
ને પગલી પડે તે રાધા રે,
આ કેશ ગૂંથ્યા તે કાનજી
ને સેંથી પૂરી તે રાધા રે,
આ દીપ જલે તે કાનજી
ને આરતી તે રાધા રે,
આ લોચન મારા કાનજી
ને નજરું જુએ તે રાધા રે!

3. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship -- and find out that you still care for that person.
4. A sad thing in life is, you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be , and you just have to let go.
5. When the door of happiness closes, another opens. But often times we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

14. There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from dreams and hug them for real ! Hope you dream of that special aomeone.
15. Dream what you want to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and only one chance to do all the things you want to do.
16. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.
17. Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person, too.
18. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck a life. A timely word may level stress. A loving word may heal and bless.
19. The beginning of love is to let those we love just be themselves and not twist them with our own image. Otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
20. The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
