Dil se <3
The Secret in their eyes.
The Secret in their eyes.
lost keys
In your abscene, I search for you like a pair of lost keys.
Mir Taki Mir
मक्का गया मदीना गया कर्बला गया,
जैसा गया था वैसा ही चल फिर के आ गया.
देखा हो कुछ उस आमद-ओ-शुद में तो मैं कहूँ,
ख़ुद गुम हुआ हूँ बात की तह अब जो पा गया.
कपड़े गले के मेरे न हों आब-दीदा क्यूँ,
मानिंद-ए-अब्र दीदा-ए-तर अब तो छा गया.
जाँ-सोज़ आह ओ नाला समझता नहीं हूँ मैं,
यक शो'ला मेरे दिल से उठा था जला गया.
वो मुझ से भागता ही फिरा किब्र-ओ-नाज़ से,
जूँ जूँ नियाज़ कर के मैं उस से लगा गया.
जोर-ए-सिपहर-ए-दूँ से बुरा हाल था बहुत,
मैं शर्म-ए-ना-कसी से ज़मीं में समा गया.
देखा जो राह जाते तबख़्तुर के साथ उसे,
फिर मुझ शिकस्ता-पा से न इक-दम रहा गया.
बैठा तो बोरिए के तईं सर पे रख के 'मीर',
सफ़ किस अदब से हम फ़ुक़रा की उठा गया.
मिर्ज़ा रज़ा बर्क़
हमारे ऐब ने बे-ऐब कर दिया हम को,
यही हुनर है कि कोई हुनर नहीं आता.
nobody can save you but
yourself.
you will be put again and again
into nearly impossible
situations.
they will attempt again and again
through subterfuge, guise and
force
to make you submit, quit and /or die quietly
inside.
nobody can save you but
yourself
and it will be easy enough to fail
so very easily
but don’t, don’t, don’t.
just watch them.
listen to them.
do you want to be like that?
a faceless, mindless, heartless
being?
do you want to experience
death before death?
nobody can save you but
yourself
and you’re worth saving.
it’s a war not easily won
but if anything is worth winning then
this is it.
think about it.
think about saving your self.
your spiritual self.
your gut self.
your singing magical self and
your beautiful self.
save it.
don’t join the dead-in-spirit.
maintain your self
with humor and grace
and finally
if necessary
wager your self as you struggle,
damn the odds, damn
the price.
only you can save your
self.
do it! do it!
then you’ll know exactly what
I am talking about.
~Charles Bukowski
