Ik tarz-e-taghaful hay so woh unko mubarak,

ik arz-e-tamanna hay so hum karte rahenge

Mr plankton

[hernepenthenotes]

There has to be a moment at the beginning when you wonder whether you’re in love with the person or in love with the feeling of love itself.

If the moment doesn’t pass, that’s it —– you’re done.And if the moment does pass, it never goes that far. It stands in the distance, ready for whenever you want it back. Sometimes it’s even there when you thought you were for something else, like an escape route, or your lover’s face.

From A Lover's Dictionary

[hernepenthenotes]

We always think there's enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like 'if'.

From A man called Ove

[hernepenthenotes]

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.

They're in each other all along.

[hernepenthenotes]

It is love from which we never recover.

[hernepenthenotes]

آواز دے کے دیکھ لو،شاید وہ مل ہی جائے

ورنہ یہ عمر بھر کا سفر رائیگاں تو ہے

[hernepenthenotes]

I fell in love the way you fall asleep:slowly and then all at once.

[hernepenthenotes]

"Your unforgettable name"

Deep in my heart You name is engraved and I long for you You set fire to my heart In my heart,you ignited the inextinguishable flame of love Before your name can be forgotten I long for you again Even at the moment of death I shall call out your name Even as I am living My heart longs for you Until the moment of death I'll long for you....

Hymn Of Death

[hernepenthenotes]

In her the painter had anatomiz’d

Time’s ruin, beauty’s wrack, and grim care’s reign...

[hernepenthenotes]

...Or was his destiny from the start

To be but just one moment

Near your heart?...

-Ivan Turgenev

[hernepenthenotes]

She pressed her cheek against his heart and lay there, grateful for the time she’d had with him, however short or long it had been, grateful she had known him, grateful that once, when she was young, she had experienced a love so strong that it did not go away, that decades and distance and miles and children and lies and letters could never make it disappear. She held him in her arms and said to him all she needed to say.

For that fraction of time, he was entirely hers.

Look at love

How it tangles

With the one fallen in love

Look at love How it tangles With the one fallen in love

[hernepenthenotes]

Looking in someone's eyes is the greatest respect shown to that person.
