The absolute audacity of a human heart to carry unburdened pain and still choose to say

Qismat mei nhi hoga yeh.

“Ishq naazuq mizaaj hai bay hadd // aqal ka boj utha nahi sakta”

love is so incredibly fragile, it cannot bear the weight of intellect.

I wish we were pressed flowers on the same page.

Ab ke ham bichhde to shayad kabhi khvabo me mile

jis tarah sukhe hue phuul kitabo me mile.

"tumne shayad galati se dhund liya tha mujhe,

tumhe talaash kisi aur ki thi"

[maihonhassan]

How hopeless a poet was when he wrote this line:

"Tum se bohat kuch kehna hai magar, kabhi tum nahi milte kabhi alfaaz nahi milte."

"Milne ki ummed to nhi tujhse

per kaise keh dun ki intezar nhi tera"

The above quote was from one of Qays ibn al-Mulawwah (Majnun’s) poetry that was recorded for Layla bint Mahdi (Layla) before his descent into madness // Story of Layla and Majnun (book) was written by a Persian poet "Nizami Ganjavi" who wrote this masterpiece based on a true story of a young man called Qays ibn al-Mulawwah (Majnun) in the 7th century when Arabs defeated Persia and Ctesiphon was destroyed and Persians built Iraq. // Originally the book was published in 1484 AD

" Muhabbat karne walo ki koi izzat e nafs nahi hoti , unhe jhukna bhi parta hai , girna bhi parta hai aur tarasna bhi parta hai "

Baat wafa ki hoti tou kabhi na haarte

بات وفاکی ہوتی تو کبھی نہ ہارتے

Baat naseeb ki thi kuch kar na sakhe

بات نصیب کی تھی کچھ کر نہ سکھے

"And because you are a dream, I sleep a lot."

I found this on twitter.

(Not mine)

[dastur-e-ishq]

“Abhi utha hoon neend se tumhara khwab dekh ke // abhi tum ek khwab ho, abhi pas-e-hijaab ho.”

as a dream you came to me and woke me from my sleep—even now, you’re still a dream, even now, you’re behind the veil.

5 reasons why you are Mirza Ghalib:

Aapko neend raat bhar nahi aati.

(maut ka ek din muayyan hai,niind kyu raat bhar nahi aati)

Har kisi se Wafa ki ummeed rakhte ho.

(ham ko un se wafa ki hai ummeed,jo nahi jante wafa kya hai)

Aapko ishq ne niqamma kar diya hai.

(ishq ne 'ghalib' nikamma kar diya varna ham bhi aadmi the kaam ke.)

Junoon mai kuch bhi bakte rehte ho.

(bak raha hu junoon me kya-kya,kuchh na samjhe khuda kare koi)

Sab se tawaqqo uth gayi hai.

(jab tavaqqo hi uth gayi 'ghalib',kyu kisi ka gila kare koi)

in english we say, "you are my muse" , but in Urdu, we say,

इतनी मिलती है मेरी ग़ज़लों से सूरत तेरी

लोग तुझ को मेरा महबूब समझते होंगें ...
