ab ke hum bichhre to shayad kabhi khwabon mein milen

should we now be parted, in dreams we might be found

jis tarah sukhe hue phul kitabon mein milen

like dried flowers found in books, fragile, fraying browned

Dhundh ujre hue logon mein wafa ke moti

seek ye pearls of faithfulness in those lost and drowned

ye khazane tujhe mumkin hai kharabon mein milen

it well could be these treasures in wastelands do abound

— Ahmad Faraz

عورت کو تو جنگ میں بھی قتل کی اجازت نہیں تم لوگ اسے محبت میں مار دیتے ہو

A woman is not allowed to be killed even in war, you people kill her in love

When all felt when Khalil-Ur-Rehman said; “Lafz kitne hi tere pairon se lipte honge tu ne jab aakhiri khat mera jalaya hoga tu ne jab phool kitabon se nikaale honge dene wala bhi tujhe yaad tou aaya hoga.”

When Jaun Elia said, "khatam hone ko hai safar shayad, phir milenge kabhi magar shayad".

When Sylvia Plath said, "we should meet in another life, we should meet in air, me and you."

When Ahmad Faraz wrote and Ali Sethi sang, "aa phir se, mujhe chod ke jaane ke liye, ranjish hi sahi"

When Talha Anjum said, "woh aaj bhi hai muntazir, mukhtasir aik mulaqaat ka, phir kabhi mil payein na"

And when you couldn't decide whether it hurt more to hold on to hope or to let them go.

एक ही कमी है, तू।

Tumhein kya lagta hai, voh mujhse bewafai karke tumse wafa karlega?

Joh itne saalon mein mera na hua, do mahine ke pyaar mein tumhara ho jayega?

Har insaan ki ek fitrat hoti hai.

Mujhse nazrein chupake voh tumhare paas aaya tha,

Yaad rakhna, tumhein baaton mein uljhake voh kisi aur ki baahon mein bhi so jayega.

It’s okay if your hands shake under pressure. It’s okay if you fidget and tap restlessly. It’s okay if your body shows your anxiety. You don’t have to override the natural ways you react the stress.

Hum teri aarzoo na karein to kya karein kisko haal sunaein kisse gila karein

aapka hona hi kaafi hai mere liye maine kab kaha ki aap wafa karein!
