Kabhi to ki hogi suraj ne chand

Tabhi to chand mein daag hai,
Mumkin hai ki chand ne ki
hogi bewafai
Tabhi to suraj mein aag hai.



Wo roj jaate hai maikhaane mein
Jinko ranjo-gum ne jakdaa hai
Gark ho kar madiraa mein
Zaalim ne khanjar pakdaa hai

50 CeNt

"First I drop my album, and people pay attention. Now that I got their attention, I'm gonna drop the next sh*t on them -- the G-Unit sh*t, both the label and the group... I'm not leveling the competition, I'm destroying it." -50 Cent



Curtis James Jackson III (born July 6, 1975), better known by his stage name 50 Cent, is an American rapper. He rose to fame with the release of his albums Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003) and The Massacre (2005). Both albums achieved multi-platinum success, selling over twenty-one million copies combined.
Born in South Jamaica, Queens, 50 Cent began drug dealing at the age of twelve during the 1980s' crack epidemic. After leaving drug dealing to pursue a rap career, he was shot nine times in 2000. After releasing his album Guess Who's Back? in 2002, 50 Cent was discovered by rapper Eminem and signed to Interscope Records. With the help of Eminem and Dr. Dre—who produced his first major commercial successes—he became one of the world's highest selling rappers. In 2003, he founded the record label G-Unit Records, which signed successful rappers such as Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo.
50 Cent has engaged in feuds with other rappers including Ja Rule, The Game, and Fat Joe. He has also pursued an acting career, appearing in the semi-autobiographical film Get Rich or Die Tryin' in 2005 and the Iraq War film Home of the Brave in 2006.

2000–2001: Shooting
On May 24, 2000, 50 Cent was attacked by a gunman outside his grandmother's former home in South Jamaica, Queens. He went into a friend's car, but was asked to return to the house to get jewelry. His son was in the house while his grandmother was in the front yard. On returning to the back seat of the car, another car pulled up nearby. An assailant then walked up to 50 Cent's left side with a 9mm handgun and fired nine shots at close range. He was shot nine times—in the hand (a round hit his right thumb and came out of his pinky), arm, hip, both legs, chest, and left cheek. The face wound resulted in a swollen tongue, the loss of a wisdom tooth, and a small slur in his voice. His friend also sustained a gunshot wound to the hand. They were driven to the hospital where 50 Cent spent thirteen days. The alleged shooter, Darryl "Hommo" Baum, was killed three weeks later. Darryl Baum was also Mike Tyson's close friend and bodyguard.
Mike Tyson, offered $50,000 towards a "hit" on two members of a violent gang suspected of killing Darryl Baum. The allegation was made by Dwayne Meyers, another former member of the Cash Money Brothers (CMB), a Brooklyn street gang accused of drug trafficking, kidnapping and murder.
Meyers, who along with several CMB members was indicted in 2005 for drug dealing and murder, made the claims as he testified at the trial of Abubakr Raheem.
Raheem is accused of driving a getaway car after two turf-war killings.
50 Cent recalled the incident saying, "It happens so fast that you don't even get a chance to shoot back... I was scared the whole time... I was looking in the rear-view mirror like, 'Oh shit, somebody shot me in the face! It burns, burns, burns.'" In his memoir, From Pieces to Weight: Once upon a Time in Southside Queens, he wrote, "After I got shot nine times at close range and didn't die, I started to think that I must have a purpose in life... How much more damage could that shell have done? Give me an inch in this direction or that one, and I'm gone". He used a walker for the first six weeks and fully recovered after five months. When he left the hospital, he stayed in the Poconos with his then-girlfriend and son. His workout regimen helped him attain his muscular physique.
While in the hospital, 50 Cent signed a publishing deal with Columbia Records. However, he was dropped from the label and "blacklisted" in the recording industry after it was discovered he was shot. Unable to find a studio to work with in the U.S, he traveled to Canada. Along with his business partner Sha Money XL, he recorded over thirty songs for mixtapes, with the purpose of building a reputation. 50 Cent's popularity rose and in 2002, he released material independently on the mixtape, Guess Who's Back?. Beginning to attract interest, and now backed by G-Unit, 50 Cent continued to make songs. They released the mixtape, 50 Cent Is the Future, revisiting material by Jay-Z and Raphael Saadiq.

Non-musical projects:

50 Cent has established himself in a wide variety of fields outside music. In November 2003, he signed a five year deal with Reebok to distribute a G-Unit Sneakers line as part of his G-Unit Clothing Company. He provided the voice-over as the protagonist in the video game, 50 Cent: Bulletproof, which was released for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and the PlayStation Portable. Its sequel, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, is set for a 2008 release. He worked with Glacéau to create a Vitamin Water drink called Formula 50. In 2007, Coca-Cola purchased Glacéau for US$4.1 billion. Forbes estimated 50 Cent, who owns a stake in the company, to have earned $100 million after taxes.
Once upon a Time in Southside Queens. On January 4, 2007, he launched his G-Unit Books imprint at the Time Warner Building. He also co-wrote The Ski Mask Way, a novel about a small-time drug dealer who attempts to rob his employers, which is to be turned into a film. 50 Cent said he read Robert Greene's The 33 Strategies of War and worked with the author on a book titled The 50th Law, an urban take on The 48 Laws of Power

True Sikhi, Fateh !

You wear a gold khanda,
Yeah that makes you a Sikh,
Erm, wrong actually you look like a freak.

You say Guru cares about whats inside,
You say that while your face is full of drunken pride

Sikhs don’t cut their hair, but you do and your proud,
When theres a bhangra gig your at front of the crowd

Raj Karega Khalsa, you shout when your drunk,
Khalsa means pure, not drunk as a skunk,

You claim IM SIKH when goray attack
So why go against your Guru and turn your back?

You don’t agree with Amrit, its only for fanatics,
But you do Matha Tek to the Gurus to forgive your unsikh antics

You say aunty ji and uncle ji to respect your Punjabi backgound,
But do you think of that at the weekend, getting drunk and falling on the ground,

You wear a bandana coz it makes you look black,
You chat up goris to get them into the sack.

You have a khanda ring, to prove you’re a Sikh,
But in the Gurus eyes, bling is NOT chic,

You eat meat and relish the taste of sin,
Then you come to Gurdwara and throw your langar in the bin.

You laugh at turbans, you think they look dumb,
But then you wear a pink one at your marriage to please your mum.

You act like a Hindu, but laugh at Shiva,
At least a Hindu follows their preacher,

You drink alcohol, against what Guru says,
But how can you com[promise your Punjabi ways?

You laugh at girls who keep their hair,
You wear light foundation so that you look fair.

You shave your legs just to look hot for some guy,
Then at Gurdwara you act all shy.

You come to Gurdwara to catch up on cheap gossip,
You style your hair so it looks like a mop.

You wear make up to disguise your true skin,
But in Sikhi, all this is a sin.

You say Sat Sri Akal, Yet you don’t know what it means,
You forget all that when your partying in your tight jeans.

You can respect your Punjabi culture 100 percent,
But when it comes to Sikhi, where has your love went?

For your wedding, you do it in front of Guru and you wear the colour of red,
But you don’t even know why you are bowing your head.

Guru Granth Sahib, is to you just a book,
To know a Guru, its at pictures you look.

To be a Sikh, follow Guru you must,
You need to earn back the Gurus trust.

Stop all this drinking and messing around,
Its at the feet of the Guru true happiness is found.

When you say IM SIKH, say it with truth,
Not with a mouth smelling of vermouth.

Bow your head in respect to a Guru you love,
Don’t do it just coz some aunty gives you a shove.

You deserve to be happy and live a beautiful life,
With Guru Sahib always by your side.

Its your choice to be who you want to be,
But remember, Punajbi culture, aint ANYTHING like SIKHI!!!!!!!

Sikhi !

"Give Me Back My Head
A poem for those who once gave Guru Jee their head by taking Amrit, but took it back...
---

Guru Gobind Singh Ji tried, to keep you on the right track
You gave Him your head, but then you took it back

Turning your back on Guru Ji, how did it feel?
Or were you too busy convicing yourself, that "It's really no big deal"

Remember that day when you took Amrit and made a vow?
What happened to those promises, who is your Guru now?

You sold out your Sikhi, and that’s the plain truth
You ruined this precious life, saying "I want to enjoy my youth"

To make yourself feel better, you can say whatever you want to
But one dreadful day, your words will come to haunt you

And when that day comes, you will regret what you have done
You lost your honour, in a battle you should have won

This world is just maya, it will take your Sikhi away
Tell me, did you forget that you are gonna die one day?

When this dream called life reaches its end
Then who will be your saviour, your helper, your True Friend?

There is still hope, you need to sharpen your mind
Go towards Guru Ji, and the Truth you will find

To merge with God, you were sent to earth
Trying to impress the world, you wasted the human birth

Did you think of those mothers, who wore their babies around their necks?
Or did all you think about, was attracting the opposite sex?

The very same hair that Guru Ji put Amrit in
You grabbed the scissors, and committed the ultimate sin

Guru Ji's Sons gave their lives, so you can be a Sikh
Their Sikhi remained strong, with each and every brick

Now is the time, for you to wake up and take control
Guru Ji is the water, that will sooth your burning soul

Do you really want to come back to this hell on earth?
Wandering and suffering, birth after birth

You say you're not ready to take Amrit, thats always your reply
But think about this...are you ready to die?

You think you'll practice Sikhi, in the future when you are old
But tell me, do you know when your body will turn cold?

When it’s all said and done, you will be full of sorrow and regret
You'll want to go to Sach Khand, but the requirements were not met

Guru Ji's arms are wide open, and He is waiting for you
It’s time to take action, and do what you gotta do

Change your life RIGHT NOW!, don't wait another day
Tomorrow may never come, then what will be left to say?

That Guru Gobind Singh Ji tried to put me on the right track
I gave Him my head, but then I took it back. "

Love hurts !

You left in the lightning and rain
Without a chance to say good-bye.
You left in the thunder and pain

With your friends on a country lane.
You were driving I can’t deny.
You left in the lightning and rain.

Crossing the tracks, struck by a train.
Sudden and senseless way to die,
You left in the thunder and pain.

A force seatbelts could not restrain.
Your face uplifted toward the sky,
You left in the lightning and rain.

Tufts of hair gone and bits of brain,
Mangled, bloody, quietly you lie.
You left in the thunder and pain.

Life now seems brittle and insane.
You were my “catcher in the rye”.
You... left in the lightning and rain.
You... left in the thunder and pain.

Cliches and One-Liners

If evolution was true, mothers would have more than two hands.
If God didn't forgive Heaven would be empty.
If God is your co-pilot, switch seats with Him!
If he was any slower, he'd be going in reverse.
If I can only be with you in my dreams, then I want to sleep forever.
If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet?
If I had never met you, I wouldn't like you;
If I didn't like you I wouldn't love you;
If I didn't love you I wouldn't miss you... But I did, I do and I will.

I had dreams and I've had nightmares. I overcame the nightmares because of my dreams.
I have changed my mind a dozen times. It seems to work better now.
I have discovered the whole problem with the National Debt.
Most of us work 5 days a week, and the government spends 7.
I have gotten to the age where I need my false teeth and hearing aid before I can ask where I left my glasses.
I have faith in fools, my friends call it self-confidence.
I have never understood why women love cats.
Cats are independent, they don't listen, they don't come in when you call, they like to stay out all night, and when they're home they like to be left alone and sleep. In other words, every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat.
I haven't lost my mind, I know exactly where I left it.
I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm doing.
I just got lost in thought. . . . It was unfamiliar territory.
