kabhi youn bhi a meri ankh main k meri nazar ko khabar na ho
mujhe ik raat nawaz de magar uskay baad sehar na ho
woh bara rahem o kareem hai mujhe yeh sift bhi aata karay
tujhe bhoolnay ki duaa karoun to meri duaa main aasar na ho
meri bazaoun main thaki thaki abhi mahv e khawaab hai chandni
na uthay sitaroun ki paalki,abhi ahatoun ka guzar na ho
kabhi dhoop de kabhi budliaan, dil o jaan se dono qabool hain
magar us jahan main na qaid kar jahan zindagi ka guzar na ho
kabhi din ki dhoop main jhoom kar kabhi shab kay phool choom kar
youn hi sath sath chal sada kabhi hatam apna safar na ho
meray pass a meray habeeb a , zara dil k aur kareeb a
tujhe dharkanoun main basa loun main kay bicharnay ka kabhi durr na ho

Best Heart Benefits From Canola and Fish Oils -- Not Olive Oil
Olive oil may be nearly as dangerous as saturated fat in clogging arteries, according to authors of a study comparing the effects of canola, olive, and fish oils. They presented their findings today at the American College of Cardiology meeting in Anaheim, Calif.
"We expected there to be no detrimental effects at all because they were all good oils. What we found is that two were good and one was not -- olive oil. Olive oil impaired vascular function just like a Big Mac or fries or Sara Lee cheesecake," says Robert Vogel, MD, head of cardiology at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. He tells WebMD that the study's results "represent a major change in terms of what we should be telling people about what they should eat."
Vogel has long been recognized for his work regarding diet and health. "There is such confusion in the population as far as what's good and what's bad," he says. His research specifically focuses on the endothelium, which is the lining of blood vessels such as arteries and veins. When the endothelium is injured, it triggers atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of fatty substances on the blood vessel's walls that leads to heart disease.
His study is based on the famous Lyon Diet Heart Study, published in 1999, which showed that the low incidence of heart disease of coastal Mediterranean residents was due to a "Mediterranean diet" of bread, vegetables and fish, less meat (red meat replaced by poultry), fruit, and -- not olive oil -- but canola oil.
"Most people don't realize that the Lyon diet did not use olive oil. Volunteers in the study didn't particularly like the taste of olive oil, so they substituted with canola oil," says Vogel. "It's fascinating. ... Although they may have made part of their decision based on the tastes of the volunteers, it was actually a very smart thing to do."
In his study, Vogel and colleagues compared olive oil -- which is very much a part of a traditional Mediterranean diet -- with canola and fish oil. Ten volunteers, all with normal cholesterol levels, were given three meals composed of canola oil and bread, olive oil and bread, or salmon, with each meal totaling 50 g of fat.
Both before and after the meals, arterial blood flow in each volunteer's arm was measured using a technique that combines ultrasound and a blood pressure cuff. "We can watch what happens to the size of the artery when we increase blood flow. Normally, the artery should increase 10-15% in diameter. If it doesn't increase, you don't have normal [blood flow]," he tells WebMD. Arterial blood flow can be an indicator of whether the lining of the arteries -- the endothelium -- has been damaged, Vogel says.
The olive oil meal caused vessels to constrict by 34%, whereas the canola oil and salmon meals caused insignificant changes in blood vessels, Vogel reports. Because such constrictions injure the blood vessels' endothelium, they contribute to heart disease.
"We showed that omega-3 fats [the kind of fat found in fish] cause no impairment in [blood vessel] function, but olive oil with omega-9 fats does. The real importance is not whether it's monounsaturated or polyunsaturated; it's whether it's omega-3," Vogel says. Canola oil is enriched with omega-3.
Laurence Sperling, MD, medical director of preventive cardiology at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, reviewed the study for WebMD. "I think this is an interesting finding and it explores a bit more the impressive benefit that was seen in the Lyon Heart Trial," he tells WebMD. "There was a lot of speculation about the benefit -- was it due to various components of the diet ... or the fact that [Mediterranean people] eat a lot more foods prepared with olive oil?"
Noting the study's very small size, Sperling says that it is a "well-done study. There's a lot of good data to suggest that this is a good measure of the [health] of the blood vessel."
Ronald M. Krauss, MD, head of molecular medicine at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif., tells WebMD that Vogel has been a leader in studying the ability of the blood vessels to dilate and allow more blood to flow. "His method of doing the measurement is pretty well established," Krauss says, however "this [study's] observation should be confirmed in larger studies and not interpreted to point the finger away from olive oil until we have a real clear picture whether this is consistent and until we understand the mechanism."
Vital Information:
In a small study comparing different types of oil, olive oil was found to be potentially damaging to blood vessels, while canola oil and fish oil were not harmful.
Canola oil and fish oil contain omega-3 fats, but olive oil contains omega-9 fats.
One expert cautions that more studies on a larger number of people are needed before these results can be confirmed.

Sirf TUm !!!
Sirf Tum

kab yeh teh howa tha
kay phir milien zindagi k kisi mor par
kab yeh kaha tha k bin tumharey
na jee sakien gay hum
bahut tarpaye ga yeh hijr ka mousam
yeh sawan aur pat jhar ka mousam
kab yeh teh howa tha
kay sar-e-sham hi
tumhari yaad utar aye gi
iss dil k angan mein
agar yeh sab teh nahi howa tha tu
barsoon guzar janey k baad bhi
meri wehshatoon, meri yaadon, meri tanhayion

sirf tum hi tum kiyon ho?
Hum main aur tum mein
kab yeh teh howa tha
kay phir milien zindagi k kisi mor par
kab yeh kaha tha k bin tumharey
na jee sakien gay hum
bahut tarpaye ga yeh hijr ka mousam
yeh sawan aur pat jhar ka mousam
kab yeh teh howa tha
kay sar-e-sham hi
tumhari yaad utar aye gi
iss dil k angan mein
agar yeh sab teh nahi howa tha tu
barsoon guzar janey k baad bhi
meri wehshatoon, meri yaadon, meri tanhayion

Na shikaayatein, na gilaa karey
Koi aisa shakhs hua karey
Jo merey liye hee saja karey
Mujh hee sey Baatein kiya karey
Kabhi royey jaaey woh bepanaah
Kabhi be-tahaasha udaas ho
Kabhi chupkey chupkey dabey qadam
Merey peechay Aa kar, hansa karey
Meri qurbatein, meri chaahatein
Koi yaad kare qadam qadam
Mein taveel safar mein hoon agar
Meri waapsi ki Dua karey
Koi aisa shakhs hua karey
Jo merey liye hee saja karey
Mujh hee sey Baatein kiya karey
Kabhi royey jaaey woh bepanaah
