Socrates - The Philospher

Triple Test of Socrates.
"In ancient Greece,Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day anacquaintance met the great philosopher and said, 'Socrates, do you knowwhat I just heard about your friend?' 'Hold on a minute,'Socrates replied. 'Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass alittle test. It's called the Triple Filter Test.' 'Triple filter?' 'That'sright,' Socrates continued. 'Before you talk to me about my friend, itmight be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going tosay. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that whatyou are about to tell me is true?' 'No,' the man said, 'actually I just heard about it and...' 'All right,' said Socrates. 'So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?' 'No, on the contrary...' So,'Socrates continued, 'you want to tell me something bad about him, butyou're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though,because there's one filter left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what youwant to tell about my friend going to be useful to me?' 'No, not really.' 'Well,' concluded Socrates, 'if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?' This is why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.

बारिश

तीरों की बारिश ख़त्म करो यारो.......
बहुत लग चुके है ,पैबंद दामन पे अपने
अब तो तीरों की बारिश ख़त्म करो यारों,
दो घड़ी पास बैठो मोहब्बत की बात करो यारो.

जिनके कहने पर हमने खून वहाया तूने मेरा
और मैने तेरा घर जलाया,
खादीं मे छुपे उन शैतानों को पहचनो यारों
दो घड़ी पास बैठो मोहब्बत की बात करो यारो.

मेरे घर मे नन्हे बच्चे है, तो तेरे घर मे भी है बुडी माँ
ज़िम्मेदारी मुझ पर भी है ज़िम्मेदारी तुझ पर भी
तो क्यो ना अपनो की बात करे यारों
दो घड़ी पास बैठो मोहब्बत की बात करो यारो.

ना मेरा ईश्वर तुझसे खफा है, ना तेरा अल्लाह
मुझसे जुदादिल से पुकारो दोनो मिलेंगें यहाँ,
चलो शिर्डी मे सर झुकाएँ और दरगाह मे दुआ माँग आएँ यारो
दो घड़ी पास बैठो मोहब्बत की बात करो यारो.
