Parveen Shakir is the finest poetess in the history of urdu literature:

“ye dukh nahi ke andheron se sulah ki humne, malal yeh hai ke ab subha ki talab bhi nahi.”

[blogbyher]

When Ghalib said Ek judai ka wo lamha ke Jo marta hi nhi, log kehte the sabhi waqt guzar jaate hain.

When Kafka said The separation into two people is unbearable.

And When Faiz said Phir dekhe hain wo hijr ke tapte hue din bhi jab dil o jaan mei fagaa'n bhool gyi hai

A memory of someone who's gone echoes.

[chthonic-empyrean]

عندما تحب شخصاً ما ، يصبح اسمه بحد ذاته عاطفة

When you love someone, their name itself becomes an emotion.

وعدوں کی طرح، عشق بھی آدھا ہی رہا

ملاقاتیں کم رہی، انتظار زیادہ رہا ~

Waadon ki tarah, ishq bhi aadha rha

Mulaqatain kam rhi, intezar zyada rha ~

Rote huwe insaan ke paas ek kahani hoti hai;

Aur

Muskurate huwe insaan ke paas uss kahani ko chupane ka ek andaaz

[thee-wild-child]

ایک امید سے دل بہلتا رہا،

اک تمنا ستاتی رہی رات بھر

Aik umeed say dil behalta raha,

Aik tamanna stati rahi raat bhar

- Faiz Ahmed Faiz

In English we say :

“Out of all people you misunderstood me”

But in urdu we say :

“usey meri baatein ab samjh nahi aati, kabhi jo meri khamoshi ki tafseer likha karta tha.”

Ay gham e dil tera shukria

راستوں کی مرضی ہے

اجنبی کوئی لا کر

ہمسفر بنا ڈالیں

ساتھ چلنے والوں کی

راکھ بھی اڑا ڈالیں

یا مسافتیں ساری

خاک میں ملاڈالیں

راستوں کی مرضی ہے 🖤

Remembering Faiz on his 40th Death Anniversary!

The pain Faiz suffered through is heart wrenching to us; “kahin to karwan-e-dard ki manzil thahar jaye, kinare aa lage umr-e-rawan ya dil thahar jaye.”

[blogbyher]

Sab kar lena lamhe zaya mat karna galat jagah par jazbe zaya mat kar na

You know what?? commitment isn't scary but wasting your years of life on someone who's not even sure about you is scary. You can do your best but they will still have the audacity to say 'i didn't ask you to do this for me'.

[chthonic-empyrean]

"نظر إليها كما لو أنه أدرك ما هو الحب."

"He looks at her like he just realized what love is."

تم چاند کی بات کرتے ہو ، ہم چاند سے بات کرتے ہیں ~

You talk about the moon, I talk to the moon ~

[komal01]

Main tumse ab kuch maangta nahi aye Khuda;

Teri dekar cheen lene ki aadat mujhe manzoor nahi

[thee-wild-child]

“Aur bhi dukh hain zamanay main Mohabbat k siwa”

True! Some of us have identity crisis, low confidence, no self esteem and no friends.
