ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਾ ਇਮਰੋਜ਼ "ਇਕ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਕਹਾਣੀ"

ਇਮਰੋਜ਼ ਨਾਲ ਰਹਿਣ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਾ ਇਕ ਜੋਤਸ਼ੀ ਕੋਲ਼ ਗਈ ਅਤੇ ਉਸਨੂੰ ਸਿੱਧਾ ਸਪਾਟ ਸੁਆਲ ਪੁੱਛਿਆ, “ਇਹ ਰਿਸ਼ਤਾ ਬਣੂ ਜਾ ਨਹੀਂ।” ਜੋਤਸ਼ੀ ਨੇ ਕੁਝ ਲੀਕਾਂ ਵਾਹੀਆਂ, ਕੁਝ ਹਿਸਾਬ ਲਾਇਆ ਤੇ ਬੋਲਿਆ, “ਇਹ ਰਿਸ਼ਤਾ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਢਾਈ ਘੰਟੇ ਦਾ ਹੈ।” ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਾ ਨੇ ਹਰਖ ਕੇ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਨਹੀਂ, ਇਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ।” ਜੋਤਸ਼ੀ ਨੇ ਮੁੜ ਹਿਸਾਬ ਲਾਇਆ ਤੇ ਇਸ ਵਾਰ ਦੱਸਿਆ, ਜੇ ਢਾਈ ਘੰਟਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਨਹੀਂ, ਤਾਂ ਫੇਰ ਇਹ ਰਿਸ਼ਤਾ ਢਾਈ ਦਿਨ ਜਾਂ ਢਾਈ ਸਾਲ ਦਾ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ।” “ਜੇ ਢਾਈ ਦਾ ਹੀ ਹਿਸਾਬ…

"پھر ملیں گے اگر خدا لایا"

Numberless words for "Goodbye" in every language but my favourite is this one phrase in Persian/Farsi

"به امید دیدار"

that literally translates to "In hopes of seeing you again."

Like Amrita Pritam said

میں تینوں فیر ملاں گی

کِتھے؟ کس طرح؟ پتا نہیں

… پر تینوں ضرور ملاں گی

It’s always goodbye with the mouth and until we meet again with the heart. – Leah Raeder

And When Ahmed Faraz said

جو بھی بچھڑے وہ کب ملے ہیں فرازؔ

پھر بھی تو انتظار کر شاید

Maybe we’ll meet again, when we are slightly older and our minds less hectic, and I’ll be right for you and you’ll be right for me. But right now, I am chaos to your thoughts and you are poison to my heart.

Gabrielle Zevin

When Tehzeeb Haafi said

ہم ملیں گے کہیں

اجنبی شہر کی خواب ہوتی ہوئی شاہراؤں پہ

اور شاہراؤں پہ پھیلی ہوئی دھوپ میں

ایک دن ہم کہیں ساتھ ہوں گے

[natkhat-sa-shyam]

मेरा कल बनो - जंगवीर सिंह 'राकेश'

साहिर होना आसान था!

शायद मुश्किल भी हो;

लेकिन मैं साहिर नहीं बना

क्योंकि उससे ज्यादा: कठिन था

इमरोज़ होना!

इसलिए में इमरोज़ बना;

इमरोज़ होना ; कोई मजाक नहीं है;

यह मैं अच्छी तरह से जानता था;

फिर भी मैं इमरोज़ बना!

[ardent-reflections]

I will put the world at your feet. I will love you as long as I live.

«Zehaal-E-Miskeen | Amir Khusro

–This poem is written by Amir Khusro in Persian and Brij Bhasha. Brij Bhasha is a Dehaati Zabaan (country tongue) and a dialect of Hindi. In the first verse, the first line is in Persian, the second in Brij Bhasha, the third in Persian again, and the fourth in Brij Bhasha.

Zehaal-e-miskeen makun taghaful, Duraye naina banaye batiyan.

Do not overlook my misery, by blandishing your eyes and weaving tales,

Ke taab-e-hijran nadaram ay jaan, Na leho kahe lagaye chatiyan.

My patience has over-brimmed, O sweetheart! why do you not take me to your bosom.

Shaban-e-hijran daraz chun zulf, Wa roz-e-waslat cho umer kotah.

Long like curls in the night of separation short like life on the day of our union.

Sakhi piya ko jo main na dekhun, To kaise kaTun andheri ratiyan.

My dear, how will I pass the dark dungeon night without your face before.

Yakayak az dil do chashm-e-jadu, Basad farebam baburd taskin.

Suddenly, using a thousand tricks the enchanting eyes robbed me of my tranquil mind.

Kisay pari hai jo ja sunave, Piyare pi ko hamari batiyan,

Who would care to go and report this matter to my darling.

Cho shama sozan cho zaraa hairan, Hamesha giryan be ishq an meh.

Tossed and bewildered, like a flickering candle, I roam about in the fire of love.

Na nind naina na ang chaina, Na aap aaven na bhejen patiyan,

Sleepless eyes, restless body, neither comes she, nor any message.

Bahaq-e-roz-e-visaal-e-dilbar, Ke daad mara gharib Khusro.

In honour of the day I meet my beloved who has lured me so long, O Khusro!

Sapet man ke varaye rakhun, Jo jaye pauN piya ke khatiyan.

I shall keep my heart suppressed if ever I get a chance to get to her trick.

The beauty in these lines...

Main Tenu Fir Milaan Gi

Kithey? Kis Tarah? Pata Nai

Shayad Terey Takhayul Di Chinag Ban Ke

Terey Canvas Tey Utraan Gi

Ya Khowrey Terey Canvas Dey Utey

Ikk Rahasmayi Lakeer Ban Ke

Khamosh Tenu Tak Di Rawaan Gi

Par main tenu zarur milan Gi

There are many stories which aren’t on paper; they are written on the minds and bodies of women.

I followed the ethereal sounds into the woods.

The weight of her words still sits heavy on those who look to find meaning in unrequited love and loss. Below are few of the most touching quotes from her work throughout her lifetime which still hold meaning and emotions in today’s time.

Tera milna aisa hota hai jaise koi hatheli par ek waqt ki roti rakh de

Meeting you is like someone starved being given a day’s meal.

Maine apni zindagi ki saari kadwahat pee li,

Kyunki iss main tumhare ishq ki ek boond mili thi.

I drank the entire bitterness of life because I found a trace of your love in it.

Rab bakshe na bakshe

Uski raza

Assi yaar nu sajda kar baithe

It is god’s will if he wants to forgive me or not, but I have surrendered myself in reverence to my lover.

A Letter, Amrita Pritam

[takemetobogman]

“तेरा मिलना ऐसे होता है, जैसे कोई हथेली पे एक वक्त की रोज़ी रख दे।” - अमृता प्रीतम

Tera milna aise hota hai, jaise hatheli pe koi ek waqt ki rozi rakh de.

Translation: Meeting you is like someone placing on my hand a day's wages.

[bitesizedpoetry]

Each question is measurable in terms of darkness. The only difference is that if the question is a small one, it crawls and cries like an infant; but if it is a big one, it gropes, hands outstretched in the blinding blackness and strikes its head against the cave walls.

Amrita Pritam, Pinjar: The Skeleton and Other Stories

[jahnvididwhuttt]

I'll see you again

I'll see you again

how when where ?

that I don't know

but I will meet you again.

in the dark lines of your sketches

or maybe inside the folded corners of your canvas.

Like the taste of your refrigerated cold and stale food

I will be on the tip of your tongue

but I'll meet you again!

How when where

that I don't know

but I'll meet you again.

Like the tangled wire of your earphones

I'll stay tangled in your arms

I'll meet you again

Maybe you won't understand

Maybe you won't feel like understanding

You will wonder

if I exist

you will try to look for me

I will be right there looking at you

from behind the evening dawn.
