How hopeless a poet was when he wrote this line:

"Tum se bohat kuch kehna hai magar, kabhi tum nahi milte kabhi alfaaz nahi milte."

[chthonic-empyrean]

عندما تحب شخصاً ما ، يصبح اسمه بحد ذاته عاطفة

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

ہم تو کچھ دیر ہنس بھی لیتے ہیں

دل ہمیشہ اداس رہتا ہے

Hum to kuch der hans lete hein Dil hamesha udaas rehta hai

-Bashir Badr

We do smile sometimes but;

The heart is always sad

[perksofbeingaqib]

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.”

[sufiiiiiiii]

bichhad gaye to yeh dil umr bhar lagega nahin,

lagega....lagne laga hai...magar lagega nahin,

nahin lagega unhe dekh kar...magar khush hai,

main khush nahin hu magar dekh kar lagega nahin......

"Janab Umair Najmi"

[nemralam]

Ask not of the night of separation; it came, and it passed away

My heart found a way to please itself again; life found a way to get back on track again

Faiz Ahmad Faiz || Written at Jinnah hospital Karachi in 1953

Book : Nuskha Hai Wafa (Pg. 245)

“Ab nahi karni hume bayaan halaat-e-dil kisiko,

Bayaan karne ka nateeja ye halaat hain hamari”

Jo baatein pee gya tha mai

Wo baatein kha gyin mujhko

-Jaun Elia

In other words:

The things you hide in your heart, eats you alive.

[thedelusionalselenophile]

تم سے بہت کچھ کہنا ہے مگر

کبھی تم نہیں ملتے کبھی الفاظ نہیں ملتے

Tum se boht kuch kehna hai magar

Kabhi tum nahi milte, kabhi alfaaz nahi milte ~

आधी शाम गुज़र गई आप कहाँ थे?

अजी, यहाँ आधी ज़िंदगी गुज़र गई आप कहाँ थीं?

- KATHA (1983, Sai Paranjape)

[maihonhassan]

Urdu is unnecessarily seductive, like lover means dildar, hurt means dilazari, enchanting means dilfraib, dilgirifta means sad, flirting means dilphishori, and beloved means dilber !

[chthonic-empyrean]

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

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

[nmolesofadrenaline]

[oyeevarnika]

तुम मिले तो क्यों लगा मुझे

खुद से मुलाकात हो गई

कुछ भी तो कहा नहीं

मगर ज़िन्दगी से बात हो गई

~ गुलज़ार

Mein kya kahu ke mujhe sabar kyu nahi aataa...

Mein kya karu ke tujhe dekhne ki aadat hai...
