"My favorite Urdu word is shayad. Filled with hope and hopelessness in equal measure."
“But in that moment I understood what they say about nostalgia, that no matter if you’re thinking of something good or bad, it always leaves you a little emptier afterwards.”
— John Corey Whaley; Noggin
limiting people’s access to you is self care
This is for people of Israel/anyone who supports Israel/anyone who wants to stay "neutral" about this genocide, remember that this is how your fav "defenders/heroes/government servants are supposed to be responsible" are talking about innocent Palestinians civilians:
If you choose not to speak on this matter, if you choose to not speak up for Palestinians, then be well assured, 100% guaranteed that what's happening in Palestine can (and will if you let Israel get away with MASS MURDER) also just as easily happen to you, and then there will be other people who would stay "neutral" and silent on this matter.
If you think that the reason you're not taking sides is because you don't really know the situation that well, then EDUCATE yourself. It is your responsibility, as a fucking human, to do your research to stop and prevent such atrocities from being committed.
(I know, I FUCKING KNOW I have at least a few dozen followers from Israel/support Israel/ZIONISTS who are reading this and I know that your eyes may be blind, but your hearts aren't. Don't be a hypocrite, and don't be ignorant)
Israeli official calls for 'doomsday' nuclear strike on Gaza that will 'shake Middle East'
“Oh Palestine, if your love was a crime then let history testify that I am a criminal for loving you.”
In English we call it "one sided love"
But in Urdu we say;
"Tum ko khabar hui na zamana samajh saka,
Hum chupke chupke tum par kayi baar mar gye"
وہ ہم سفر تھا مگر اس سے ہم نوائی نہ تھی
کہ دھوپ چھاؤں کا عالم رہا جدائی نہ تھی
عداوتیں تھیں، تغافل تھا، رنجشیں تھیں بہت
بچھڑنے والے میں سب کچھ تھا، بے وفائی نہ تھی
वो हम-सफ़र था मगर उस से हम-नवाई न थी कि धूप छाँव का आलम रहा जुदाई न थी
अदावतें थीं, तग़ाफ़ुल था, रंजिशें थीं बहुत बिछड़ने वाले में सब कुछ था, बेवफ़ाई न थी
Naseer Turabi

"And because you're a dream, I sleep a lot."
Today my mom was singing Mirza Ghalib's most famous ghazal, "yeh na thi humari qismat" (This was not our destiny). I said her "Let me record " and she replied "I won't let you record. I know you'll post it on your Tumblr and your friends will laugh at my voice." 😆After a lot of persuasion she finally agreed. Please ignore my strange voice, I have cold.😅
ye na thi humaari qismat ke wisaal-e-yaar hota agar aur jeete rehte yahi intezaar hota.
It was not my destiny that there would be a union with my beloved. If I had lived further on, there would have been this same waiting.
ye kaha ki dosti hai ke bane hain dost naaseh koi chaarasaaz hota, koi ghamgusaar hota
What kind of friendship is this, where the friends have now become advisors. If only there were some healer, if only there was some sympathizer.
The war will end, the leaders will shake hands , the old woman will keep waiting for her martyred son. That girl will wait for her beloved husband and those children will wait for their heroic father i don’t know who sold our homeland but i saw who paid the price.
- Mahmoud Darwish : palestinian poet

Yeh gham kya dil ki aadat hai? nahin to!Kisi se kuch shikayat hai? nahin to!
Hai woh aik khawb-e- be-tabeer us ko, Bhula dene ki niyat hai? nahin to!
Kisi ke bin, kisi ki yaad ke bin, Jiye jaane ki himmat hai? nahin to!
Kisi surat bhi dil lagta nahin.Haan, to kuch din se yeh halat hai? nahin to!
Tere is haal per hai sab ko hairat, Tujhe bhi iss pe hairat hai? nahin to!
Hum-aahngi nahin duniya se teri, Tujhe iss per nidaamat hai? nahin to!
Aziyat-naak umeedon se tujh ko, Amaa’n paane ki hassrat hai? nahin to!
Tu rehta hai khayal-o-khawb main gum, To iss ki wajah furssat hai? nahin to!
Wahan walon se itni mohabbat, Yahan walon se nafrat hai? nahin to!
Sabab jo is judayi ka bana hai, Woh mujh se khoobsurat hai? nahin to!
~Jaun Elia
