„I see you with my heart not with my eyes".

[perksofbeingaqib]

Rehta gar mai tere he dhar par tou kehta mai tabinda hu

Karke jurm-e-behisaab, mai khanakharab ab sharminada hu

Ab faasiley hai aa chuke aur hosley bhi toot chuke

Hu tere he mojizo ka muntazir aur tere he dar par pa'inda hu

Na guzarishie na shikayatien na rahi koi khahishie

Parvaaz nahi hai jise ab , mai wo ek parinda hu

Mai duniya ki zanjeero ko jageer samaj betha tha

Aur bhool gaya tha mai waqt nahi bus ek guzra lamha hu

Na ahle sukhn mai ab raha, na ahle dilo mai ab kahi

Na shanakhat hai jise khud ki koi mai wo ek bashinda hu

Jise milne ka na raha intizar, jise khuloos par na raha aitıbaar

Jo ishq e majazi mai ulajhta raha, mai he wo tera banda hu

Ek kashmakh mai hu musalsal, kya mai aaj bhi la'iq e banda hu?

Rindo ki mehfil mai, mai aaj bhi kaise zinda hu?

I carried a mess with me, the kind that doesn’t show in videos. But something about being away from everything made it easier to sit with it. Maybe that’s all I needed, a little distance, a little quiet, and a moment where things finally slowed down enough to hear myself think.

tum jab aaogī to khoyā huā pāogī mujhe

merī tanhā.ī meñ ḳhvāboñ ke sivā kuchh bhī nahīñ

mere kamre ko sajāne kī tamannā hai tumheñ

mere kamre meñ kitāboñ ke sivā kuchh bhī nahīñ

چو استاده ای٬ دست افتاده گیر

As long as you are standing, give a hand to those who have fallen.

~Persian proverb

In English we say :

“Out of all people you misunderstood me”

But in urdu we say :

“usey meri baatein ab samjh nahi aati, kabhi jo meri khamoshi ki tafseer likha karta tha.”

‎ہمیں تو دو پل بھی پیار کے نصیب نہ ہوئے غالب

اور بدنام ایسے ہوئے جیسے عشق ہم نے ایجاد کیا تھا

مرزا غالب

[shisasan]

I must see new things and investigate them. I want to taste dark water and see crackling trees and wild winds. I want to gaze with astonishment at moldy garden fences, I want to experience them all, to hear young birch plantations and trembling leaves, to see light and sun, enjoy wet, green-blue valleys in the evening, sense goldfish glinting, see white clouds building up in the sky, to speak to flowers. I want to look intently at grasses and pink people, old venerable churches, to know what little cathedrals say, to run without stopping along curving meadowy slopes across vast plains, kiss the earth and smell soft warm marshland flowers. And then I shall shape things so beautifully: fields of colour…

In english we say :

"The moon's beauty is captivating, yet it doesn't surpass yours."

But in urdu shafin khan says :

“Jahan woh hota hai waha raunak hoti hai.. Iss maayne mai woh chaand se bhi aage hai.”

“Humne tujhe dekha nahi kya Eid manaye,

jis ne tujhe dekha ho use Eid mubarak.”

In English we say,

“It’s overthinking”

But in Urdu we say,

“Woh baatein khaa gayi mujh ko,

Jo baatein pee gaya tha main.”

Intezaar

Lamba intezaar

Bas thoda aur intezaar

Iddat ka intezaar

Saamne khadi hai fir bhi intezaar

Yeh intezaar pagal kar dega mujhe

"i know you care but it's hard because i do more than you. i always have. i always will. i tried to be away but it always affected me how were you. i am tired but i can't take you out of my mind. i was there right infront of you still you chose to be away. i was there all the time. i am tired."
