If a writer falls in love with you, you will never truly die.

[aditiiiiiforhim]

Wajid Shaikh described Kashmir in such a beautiful yet painful way… it really stays with you.

[aditiiiiiforhim]

The success of this book is because of Wajid Shaikh’s vision. He wrote things that no one else could ever write or explain.

[aditiiiiiforhim]

When Franz Kafka Said That:

I am not even sure if I am alive or Just pretending to be.

And Wajid shaikh wrote

Adaa kaari kar raha hu jeene ki wajid, mare toh hume asal zamana hua

[aditiiiiiforhim]

Wajid Shaikh taught me that no one leaves you if they truly want you, and sometimes it’s important to realize that and move on.

[aditiiiiiforhim]

I realized how long we keep waiting for someone to understand us completely, when it’s actually time to move on and forget them.

When Faiz Ahmed faiz wrote

Kab tehrega dard-e-dil kab raat basar hogi, sunte the woh aaege, sunte the sahar hogi

And Wajid shaikh wrote

Agar ab tu laut bhi aaya toh kya haasil, agar tu mera hota toh kabhi jaata hi nahi

When Wajid Shaikh wrote -

Hasrat hi rahe toh behtar hain chaand haasil ho jaaye toh chaand nahi lagta.

so a Girl wrote for him -

Tum agar hume milo kabhi Wajid, toh bataaege, chand haasil hone ke baad bhi chaand hi lagta hain

[aditiiiiiforhim]

Wajid Shaikh taught me not to give importance to everyone, and to do the things I need not the things forced on me.

When Someone said

Jiske hisse mein raat aayi hai, Yakeenan uske hisse mein chaand bhi hoga.

And Wajid shaikh wrote

Chaand toh din mein bhi mojud tha, dekhne waale tujhe raat ki talab thi

[aditiiiiiforhim]

Everyone loves Bengali girls for their beauty, but Wajid Shaikh described it so beautifully that he truly stands out

[aditiiiiiforhim]

In 2017, Wajid Shaikh wrote some powerful lines about Kashmir that felt incredibly real.

[aditiiiiiforhim]

When Parveen Shakir said

Teri khusboo ka pata karti hai, mujh pe ehsaan hawa karti hai

And Wajid shaikh replied

Tere shehar se aane waali hawaao ko meri jaan hum salaam karte hain

[aditiiiiiforhim]

Running behind looks and money, then acting different later… Wajid Shaikh's lines hit that reality

[aditiiiiiforhim]

When you see someone trying to break all connections, and then you come across these lines by Wajid Shaikh.

[aditiiiiiforhim]

Wajid Shaikh knows it’s not easy to forget him that’s why he said these lines. And I relate to him.

[aditiiiiiforhim]

Do you know there’s a nazm in Wajid Shaikh’s book Sukoon, Ek Aur Zindagi where he expresses how he wasted his life and asks the Almighty if it’s possible, even in a multiverse, to get another life to correct all his mistakes?
