[dastur-e-ishq]

“Khula’asā umar bhar kī aashiquī ka // Hamaray tūm nahī ham haiñ tumharė.”

— The conclusion of a lifelong love is; that you were never mine whereas I am still yours.

Aap humari jaannn ban gaye <3

یعنی یہ خاموشی بھی کسی کام کی نہیں؟

یعنی میں بیان کر کے بتاؤں کے اداس ہوں.

"Yaani Yeh Khamoshi Bhi Kisi Kaam Ki Nahi, Yaani Main Bayaan Karke Batao Ke Udaas Hoon?"

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

[chthonic-empyrean]

وحتى عندما لا أكون بجانبك ، فقط اعلم أن صلاتي ستكون

And even when I'm not by your side, just know that my prayers will be.

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

Nizar qabbani said " Not everything in the heart can be said so God created Sigh, Tears , Long sleep , Cold smile and Shivering of hands "

Waqt e fajr ho chuka tha , mein khuda ke samne aur dil mere samne rota raha

"hum bane the tabah hone ko, tera milna to ek bahana tha."

I was created to be destroyed, meeting you was merely an excuse.

[mehreenkhan]

kya zamana tha ke hum roz mila karte thay

raat bhar chaand ke humrah phira karty thay

jahan tanhayian sar phorh ke so jati hain

in makanon main ajab log raha karte thay

kardia aj zamane ne inhain bhi majbur

kabhi ye log mere dil ki dawa karte thay

dekh kar jo humain chup chap guzar jata hai

kabhi is shakhs ko hum pyaar kia karte thay

itafaqat-e-zamana bhi ajab hain Nasir

aj wo dekh rahy hain jo suna karte thay

-Nasir Kazmi

[dastur-e-ishq]

Arz-o-samaa kahan teri vusat ko pa sakay Mera dil hee hai wo ke jahan tu samaa sakay.

“How can earth and heavens contain your vastness? // it is only this heart of mine that can accommodate you.”

Khawaja Meer Dard (translated by @ bagh.e.urdu)

[alwaysdreamingg]

Yeh zabt e haal bhi hum aazmaa kar dekhenge

Woh kahi mila, toh usey muskura kar dekhenge

Bas isiliye k tapish uss talak na jaa pohonche

Charagh e dard sab apne, bujha kar dekhenge

[svlmana]

"hum bane the taba hone ko, tera milna to aik bahana tha."

I cannot believe when Sahir Ludhianvi sahab wrote “main thori dair jee to lu nashe ke ghoont pee to lu, abhi toh kuch kaha nahi, abhi toh kuch suna nahi abhi na jao chorh kar ke dil abhi bhara nahi” and expected us not to fall for it.
