isi main khush hun mera dukh koi to sahta hai
chali chalun ki jahan tak ye sath rahta hai
zamin-e-dil yun hi shadab to nahin ai dost
qarib main koi dariya zarur bahta hai

mere badan ko nami kha gai ashkon ki
bhari bahar main jaise makan dahta hai

Experts believe flavonoids are the key ingredient in tea that promotes health. These polyphenol antioxidants are found in many foods and plants, including tea leaves, and have been shown to help prevent cell damage. Public health nutritionist Dr Carrie Ruxton, and colleagues at Kings College London, looked at published studies on the health effects of tea consumption.
