✨ The Hidden Divine ✨

The Divine veils where shadows court the light,

A formless breath that stirs the depths of night.

Not in the heavens, vast and out of reach,

But in the silence where all paths unite.

Within the folds of moments time forgets,

A pulse lingers past the edges of sight.

In laughter’s echo, trembling on the brink,

And tears unspoken, born of endless plight.

The hum resides where dreams dissolve,

Where whispers shape the threads of dark and bright.

A thousand worlds converge within this gaze,

Reflections shift, unveiling love’s fierce maze.

Oh, Shamanfox, the seeker must within,

To find the fire where timeless truths transcend.

Tujhe mein apni ghazal mein itni gehrai se likhunga,

Ki padhne wale ko tujhe dekhne ki talab hogi.

Ghazals are beautiful and the word 'Ghazal' itself is beautiful. It is an Arabic word that literally means talking to one's beloved.

himmat-e-iltija nahin baqi

zabt ka hausla nahin baqi

ek teri did chhin gai mujh se

warna duniya mein kya nahin baqi

“ranjish hi sahi, dil hi dukhane ke liye aa

aa phirse, mujhe chhodke jaane ke liye aa”

Ek Lamhe Ki Tawajjo Nahi Hasil Uski,

Aur Ye Dil Ke Usey, Had Se Siwa Chahata Hai

[guywithasmirk]

the text I unsent :

saari duniya ke gham hamare hain,

aur sitam yeh hai ke hum tumhare hai.

main kya kahun ke mujhe sabr kyun nahin aata

main kya karun ke tujhe dekhne ki aadat hai

[crookedneighbour20]

कूचे को तेरे छोड़ कर जोगी ही बन जाएँ मगर जंगल तेरे पर्बत तेरे, बस्ती तेरी सहरा तेरा।

"Leaving your street, I may turn into a hermit, but The forest is yours, the mountains are yours, the settlement is yours, the wilderness is yours."

Meaning: The speaker expresses a sense of inescapable attachment and love for the beloved. Even if they renounce the worldly life and become a hermit, they cannot truly escape the beloved's presence because everything around them — the forest, the mountains, the towns, and even the desolate wilderness — is a reflection of or a reminder of the beloved.

[versesfromtheabyss]

In everyday life, a quiet melancholy dwells,

As happiness departs, its story it tells.

The laughter that once filled these vibrant halls,

Now echoes faintly through these empty walls.

Each morning sun rises with a muted glow,

Gone are the days of joy, and now they go.

Amidst the daily grind, we yearn to find,

The lost happiness, left far behind.

But in this melancholy, there's a beauty too,

A depth of emotion, a different view.

For in the loss, we learn what's truly dear,

And find new happiness in the midst of tears.

अक्स कितने उतर गए मुझ में फिर न जाने किधर गए मुझ में मैं ने चाहा था ज़ख़्म भर जाएँ ज़ख़्म ही ज़ख़्म भर गए मुझ में मैं वो पल था जो खा गया सदियाँ सब ज़माने गुज़र गए मुझ में ये जो मैं हूँ ज़रा सा बाक़ी हूँ वो जो तुम थे वो मर गए मुझ में मेरे अंदर थी ऐसी तारीकी आ के आसेब डर गए मुझ में पहले उतरा मैं दिल के दरिया में फिर समुंदर उतर गए मुझ में - अम्मार इक़बाल Ghazal

[chashmenaaz]

Hope of love, mood of sight, color of pain

Today, don't ask anything, for the heart is very melancholy

umid-e-yar nazar ka mizaj dard ka rang tum aaj kuchh bhi na puchho ki dil udas bahut hai

[the-always-enjoying-wali-ladki]

"हम जिसे गुनगुना नहीं सकते, वक्त ने ऐसा गीत क्यों गाया?"

"ham jise gunguna nahi sakte waqt ne aisa geet kyu gaya?"

- Jagjit Singh from 'Tum ko dekha toh yeh khayal aaya'

[his-heart-hymns]

The air I breathe in a room empty of you is unhealthy.

- John Keats, from a letter to Fanny Brawne

Aap me kaise aau mai tujh bin

saans jo chal rahi hai aari hai.

Bin tumhare kabhi nahi aayi

Kya meri neend bhi tumhari hai?

-Jaun Elia

How do I live without you, my dear?.The breath that is flowing is barren.

Bereft of sleep without you.Is my sleep also yours?

[ishqfaraamosh]

“Aye dil kisi ki yaad mein hota hai bekarar kyun?

Jisne bhula diya tujhe uska hai intezaar kyun?”

“Tou kya ye tay hai tujhe umr bhar nahin milna,

toh phir ye umr hi kyun tujhse agar nahi milna”
