ye khwab hai khushbu hai ki jhonka hai ki pal hai
ye dhund hai baadal hai ki saya hai ki tum ho
ye umr-e-gurezan kahin thehre to ye jaanun
har sans mein mujh ko yahi lagta hai ki tum ho

Ofcourse sharing makes the pain go away but I understood the 'decency' of keeping some sorrows to yourself
When Parveen Shakir said "jo ġham milā hai bojh uThāyā hai us kā ḳhud ,
sar zer-e-bār-e-sāġhar-o-bāda nahīñ kiyā"
And Ahmad Faraz wrote "dukh fasāna nahīñ ki tujh se kaheñ "
ham ki dukh oḌh ke ḳhalvat meñ paḌe rahte haiñ ,ham ne bāzār meñ zaḳhmoñ kī numā.ish nahīñ kī
- Faraz
Another poet wrote " behadd sarbasta hai mujh gaafil ka dukh,log nahin samjhengey mere dil ka dukh.

Nizar Qabbani once wrote There are some people that we didn't forget, but we don't smile anymore when they're mentioned.
Just like Ahmad Faraz said Ab tere zikr pe hum baat badal dete hain, kitni raghbat thi tere naam se pehle pehle

When Parveen Shakir sahiba said "Mere paas se jo guzra, mera haal tak na pucha, main kaise maan jaun ke wo door jakar roya", and Faraz sahab said "Tere paas se jo guzre toh junoon main the Faraz, jab door jakar socha, toh zar zar roya".

Bye with the intention of:
"Ab ke ham bichhre to shayad kabhi khwaabon mein milein, jis tarah sookhe hue phuul kitabon mein milein."
"Now when we separate, we will probably meet in dreams the way one stumbles upon withered flowers in books."

when Munir Niazi said “sham-e-firaq aai to dil dubne laga, ham ko bhi apne aap pe kitna ghurur tha” and when Ahmed Faraz wrote “ham ke ruthi hui rut ko bhi mana lete the, ham ne dekha hi na tha mausam-e-hijran janan”

Raat yun dil mein teri khoyi hui yaad aaye, Jaise veeraane mein chupke se bahaar aa jaye
Last night your faded memory came tome
As in the wilderness spring comes quietly,
Jaise sehraaon mein haule se chale
baad-e-naseem
Jaise beemaar ko be-wajhe qaraar aa
jaaye.
As, slowly, in the desert, moves the breeze,
As, to a sick man, without cause, comes peace.
- Ahmad Faraz

meherban hain teri ankhen magar aey munis-e-jaan, inn se har zakhm-e-tamanna tou nahi bhar sakta
Oh my solacer! your eyes are kind/but it's not possible that they'll cure every scar in my hope.

" when you ask me, in the middle of everything - tell me something good; this is what i want to say,
that you are my favorite person in the entire world. that i wish to tape your laughter and listen to it on a rainy day. that the arc of your eyebrows are a thousand arrows released and they never miss their aim "

کس طرح چھوڑ دوں تمہیں جاناں

Kis tarah chor du tumhe janaan
Tum meri zindagi ki aadat ho
