When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.

All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.

But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.

When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
Kahlil Gibran, Le Prophète

آخری بار ملو

آخری بار ملو ایسے کہ جلتے ہوئے دل

راکھ ہوجائیں، کوئی اور تقاضا نہ کریں

چاک وعدہ نہ سِلے، زخمِ تمنّا نہ کِھلے 

سانس ہموار رہے شمع کی لَو تک نہ ہِلے 

باتیں بس اتنی کہ لمحے انہیں آکر گِن جائیں 

آنکھ اٹھائے کوئی اُمید تو آنکھیں چھن جائیں 

اس ملاقات کا اس بار کوئی وہم نہیں 

جس سے اِک اور ملاقات کی صورت نکلے 

اب نہ ہیجان و جنوں کا، نہ حکایات کا وقت 

اب نہ تجدید وفا کا، نہ شکایات کا وقت 

لُٹ گئی شہرِ حوادث میں متاعِ الفاظ 

اب جو کہنا ہے تو کیسے کوئی نوح کہیے

آج تک تم سے رگِ جاں کے کئی رشتے تھے 

کل سے جو ہو گا اُسے کون سا رشتہ کہیے

پھر نہ دہکیں گے کبھی عارض و رخسار، مِلو 

ماتمی ہیں دِم رخصت درو دیوار، ملو

پھر نہ ہم ہوں گے، نہ اقرار، نہ انکار، مِلو 

!!آخری بار مِلو

Time?

Time can never heal, it has never healed anyone, rather time teaches us to live with the hole that we have in ourselves. It teaches us ways to cope with it but it NEVER EVER heals..it makes us numb that we stop feeling anything..we stop differentiating bw the good and bad, we just remain happy with whatever we have..time teaches us to LIVE..whether its like a dead soul thats breathing..yeah..thats my experience, thats my belief.

Saamne baitha tha mere aur wo mera na tha

faasle aise bhi honge ye kabhi socha na tha
saamne baitha tha mere aur wo mera na tha

wo k Khushboo ki tarah phailaa tha mere chaar suu
main use mehsoos kar sakta tha choo sakta na tha

raat bhar us ki hi aahat kaan mein aati rahi
jhaank kar dekha galee mein koi bhi aaya na tha

aks to maujood the par aks tanhaai k thay
aainaa to tha magar us mein tera chehra na tha

aaj us ne dard bhi apne alaiheda kar diye
aaj main roya to mere saath wo roya na tha

ye sabhi weeraaniyan us ke judaa hone se thin
aankh dhundlaayi hui thi shahar dhundalaya na tha

yaad kar k aur bhi takleef hoti thi "Adeem"
bhool jaane k siwa ab koi bhi chaara na tha

...and she's not spoiled. She's well taken care of! :)

ps. I think I should start writing post scripts, which are not POST SCRIPTS only.

Bohat si be'sabab batain,
Faqat "Tamheed" hoti hain,
Jo aksar tum say kehti hun

"Sunao aur kaisay ho?"
"Suno Sardi boht hay na?"
"Nahi mausam to acha hay"
"Chalo acha mein chalti hun"
"Dubara phone kar lungi"

ye sari be'sabab batain,
faqat tamheed hoti hain,
is tamheed main JANA,
Guzar jatay hain sab lamhay

Guzar jatay hain jab lamhay,
to phir mein sochti hun k,
zara si baat hi to hay,

tumhain jaldi say keh dun gi,
"Mujhe tum se Mohabbat hay"
"Boht zyada Mohabbat hay"

“I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.” 

― Lisa Kleypas, Blue-Eyed Devil

Tu hathon me to hai mere..
hai kyun nahi lakeeron me...

Surprised!

Badalta hai rang aasman kese kese!!

Ye jo raig-e-dasht-e-firaaq hai, ye rukay agar!!!

Yeh jo raig-e-dasht-e-firaaq hai, yeh rukay agar
Yeh rukay agar to nishaan milay, ye nishaan milay
K jo faaslon ki saleeb hai
Ye gari hui hai kahaan kahaan
Mere aasmaa.n se kidhar gayee tere iltefaat ki kehkashaan
Mere bekhabar, mere benishaa.n
Ye rukay agar to pata chalay
Main tha kis nagar, tu raha kahaan
Keh zaman-o-makaa.n ki vus'atain
Tujhay dekhnay ko taras gayeen
Vo meray naseeb ki barishain
Kisi aur chatt pe baras gayeen
Meray chaar soo hai vo gubhaar-e-jaa.n, vo fishaar-e-jaa.n
Keh khabar nahin meray haath ko meray haath ki
Mere khaab se teray baam tak
Teri rehguzar ka to zikr kia
Nahin zaufishaan tera naam tak
Hain dhuaan dhuaan meray usthakhvan
Meray aansuon mein bujhay huay meray ustakhvan
Meray naqsha gar, meray naqsha jaa.n

Isi raig-e-dasht-e-firaaq mein rahay muntazir teray muntazir
Meray khaab jin ke fishaar mein
Rahi meray haal se bekhabar
Teri rehguzar
Teri rehguzar ke jo naqsh hai meray haath per
Magar is bala ki hai teergi
Keh khabar nahin meray haath ko meray haath ki
Vo jo chashm-e-sho’bida saaz thi vo uthay agar
Mere ustakhvan mein ho raushni
Usi aik lamha-e-deed mein teri rehguzar
Meri teera jaa.n mein chamak uthay
Meray khaab say tere baam tak
Sabhi manzaron mein damak uthay
Usi aik pal mein ho jaavidaa.n
Meri arzoo ke hai be-karaa.n
Meri zindagi ke hai mukhtasar
Yeh jo raig-e-dasht-e-firaaq hai, yeh rukay agar!!

Sssshhhhh....

• I’m not perfect, I never tried to be. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve taken the easy way out. I’ve lied to my friends. I’ve hidden the truth so many times from so many people. I’ve hurt people, and I’ve even done it on purpose. I’ve left people behind. I’ve spread rumors. I’ve said things that I didn’t mean. I’m no better than anyone, anywhere. I’m human. I have faults, and I’m not afraid to admit that. I want to change, but I won’t. Because that’s what we do. That’s what we’ve always done. We list our faults like a grocery list, and we move on, expecting everything to somehow change itself. It never will. I will never change. I will never be perfect. I will always make mistakes. I’ll, more often than not, take the easy way out. I will lie, hide the truth, hurt people, leave people behind, spread rumors, and say things I don’t mean for the rest of my life..

  I’m not always as confident as I seem, there are many nights and many days when all I want is to be held. I love being held. Always. Sometimes I don’t want to talk about what is bothering me, sometimes I just want a hug, someone who will let me cry. I like when boys cry in front of me, when people aren’t afraid to show what they’re really feeling. I don’t like when people run from their true feelings because it doesn’t do anyone any good. I wear my heart on my sleeve, but I am not naive. I know what it feels like to be completely broken and I am all too familiar with what it means to be hurt. I know what it’s like to see something funny and not laugh. I’ve been taken advantage of, used, and abused. My feelings have been blatantly disregarded. But I still believe that all people are good at heart and my trust in people has not diminished. To be completely honest, I hope it never does. Ever.

  
  

Ishq insan ko kainat k kisi doosray hissay me le jata hai. Insan ishq e majazi se ishq haqiqi tak safar tab karta hai jab ishq la-hasil rehta hai, jab insan jholi bhar k mohabbat karay aur khaali dil aur haath le k phiray.

Duniya me koi na koi esa xaroor hota hai jiski koi baat ap ko buri nahi lagti...jis pe apko kabi ghussa nahi aata...jis se ap kabi naraz nahi hotay...hona chahen to b nahi ho saktay..

Afterall ap ye to xaroor chahtay hain k ap k marny pe koi esa shakhs ap k liye roye, jisay ap ne sari xindagi ronay na diya ho.....!!!!

And nobody knows it but me...

How blue could I get?
You could ask my heart
But like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart
A million words couldn't say just how I feel
A million years from now you know I'll be loving you still

The nights are lonely the days are so sad and
I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me..


Music: Shayne Ward

But don't you remember?

When will I see you again?
You left with no goodbye,
Not a single word was said,
No final kiss to seal any sins,
I had no idea of the state we were in,

I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness,
And a wandering eye, and heaviness in my head,

But don't you remember?
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before,
Baby, please remember me once more,

When was the last time you thought of me?
Or have you completely erased me from your memory?
I often think about where I went wrong,
The more I do, the less I know,

But I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness,
And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head,

But don't you remember?
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before,
Baby, please remember me once more,

Gave you the space so you could breathe,
I kept my distance so you would be free,
And hoped that you'd find the missing piece,
To bring you back to me,

Why don't you remember?
Don't you remember?

The reason you loved me before,
Baby, please remember me once more,

When will I see you again?

Hawa thami thi zaroor lekin..

Hawa thami thi zaroor lekin..
woh sham jaisay sisak rahi thi..
k zard pattoN ko aandhiyoN nay,
ajeeb qisa suna dia tha..
k jis ko sun kar tamam pattay,
sisak rahay thay, bilak rahay thay..
Jaanay kis sanaaTay k gham mein..
shajar jaRoN se ukhaR chukay they..
bohat talasha hamnay tumko..
har aik rasta, har aik waadi..
har aik parbat, har aik ghaaTi
magar kahin sey khabar na aai..
to ye keh kar dil ko ham ney taala..
hawa thamay gi to deikh leiN ge..
ham uss k rastoN ko dhoohnd leiN ge..
magar hamari ye khush khyaali..
Jo ham ko aksar na raas aai..
hawa thami thi zaroor lekin..
baRi he mudat guzar chuki thi..
hamaray baaloN k jungloN meiN..
sufaid chaandi utar chuki thi..
Falak pe taray nahiN rahay thay..
Gulab pyary nahiN rahay thay..
woh jin say basti thi dil ki basti..
woh loug saaray nahiN rahay thay..
magar ye almiyaa tha sab sey bad'tar..
k ham tumharay nahiN rahay thay..
tum hamaray nahiN rahay thay..
hawa thami thi zaroor lekin..

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.” Bob Marley

Usay roktay bhi to kis liye????

Wo jo shahr-e-dil tha ujar gya
woh jo khawab tha bikhar gya
kabhi mosmon ki nazar lagi
kabhi wehmon ne dara diya
kabhi manzilon k sarab ne
humen rastay me dagha diya
kabhi zindagi ki kitab se
humen jis ne chaaha mita diya
bas ici liye..
wo jo ja raha tha door tak...
usay dekhtay hi rahe magar
nahi di sadaa.....usay roktay bhi to kis liye???? 

"I didn't ask for it to be over, but then again, I never asked for it to begin. For that's the way it is with life, as some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance. But even the most beautiful days eventually have their sunsets"
