Moments & Memories

Every frame, a stolen forever

Woh subah yaad hai jab teri hansi ne poori duniya ko roshni di —
woh pal mujhe hamesha yaad rahega.

Hazaaron khwahishein aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle,
bahut nikle mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle. — Mirza Ghalib Morning Light

Teri aankhon mein woh gehraao tha,
jaise raat ke aasmaane mein sitaaron ka aks ho.

Dil hi toh hai na sang-o-khisht, dard se bhar na aaye kyun,
royenge hum hazaar baar, koi hamein sataaye kyun. — Mirza Ghalib Starlit

Jab tu hamaare darmiyan thi, waqt ne bhi apni chal dheemi kar li —
jaise woh bhi yeh pal jeena chahta tha.

Waqt ki baat mat karo mujh se,
waqt toh mujh se ziyaada tanh-a hai. — Jaun Elia Timeless

Tere chehre par jo noor tha,
woh kisi chirag ka nahi — teri apni roohani roshni thi.

Nuktacha-e-gham-e-dil usse sunaaye na bane,
kya bane baat jahan baat banaaye na bane. — Mirza Ghalib Her Glow

Raat ke uss pehre mein jo tujhse baat hui,
uss mein ek poori umr ki khushiyan sama gayi thi.

Tum bhi khamosh, main bhi khamosh,
aur ye raat bhi khamosh thi — kuch hua zaroor. — Jaun Elia Midnight Whisper

Tere hone ne mere wujood ko maqsad diya —
shukr hai, teri taraf raasta aaya.

Main ne socha tha ke tum ho mere liye,
aur woh lamha mere liye kaafi tha. — Jaun Elia Gratitude

Har dafa tumhein dekh kar dil ko yahi mehsoos hua —
abhi tumhari jhalak aur der tak mehfooz rakhni hai.

Kabhi kisi ko mukammal jahan nahin milta,
kahin zameen to kahin aasmaan nahin milta. — Nida Fazli One More Forever

Mirza Ghalib — In Her Honour

Woh alfaaz jo sirf
Ghalib de sakta tha

✦   Her Eyes
Hazaaron khwahishen aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle, bahut nikle mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle. Nikalna khuld se Aadam ka sunte aaye hain lekin, bahut be-aabru hokar tere kooche se hum nikle.
— Mirza Ghalib  Â·  Thousands of desires, each worth dying for
✦   Her Face
Dard minnat-kash-e-dawaa na hua, main na achha hua, bura na hua. Teri soorat se jo aayi hai woh ulfat aisi hai — woh khud ek ilm hai, aur ilm ki hifaazat bhi.
— Mirza Ghalib  Â·  Pain that refuses cure — for it carries your image
✦   Her Smile
Ranj se khugar hua insaan to mit jaata hai ranj, mushkilen mujh par padi itni ke aasaan ho gayin. Woh hansi teri jo gham ko bhi niyaamat kar de — teri muskaan mein Ghalib ka yaqeen zinda hai.
— Mirza Ghalib  Â·  Sorrows so many — one smile made them easy
✦   Her Voice
Hum ko maloom hai jannat ki haqeeqat lekin, dil ke khush rakhne ko, Ghalib, yeh khayal achha hai. Jannat ek afwaah hai — teri aawaz yaqeen hai.
— Mirza Ghalib  Â·  Paradise is a rumour — her voice is the proof
✦   Her Presence
Aadmi ko bhi muyassar nahin insaan hona — phir bhi teri zulfon ki shaam mein, main apna poora wujood bhoolta hoon aur shayad yahi meri manzil thi.
— Mirza Ghalib  Â·  Even to be human is hard — losing oneself in her is easy
Dil Ki Baat — From the deepest place

Mujhe Maaf Karna

Maafi —

Maine tujhe takleef di —
baar baar, alag alag tareeqon se.
Kuch jaante hue, kuch anjaane mein.
Magar dono mein meri ghalti thi.
Sach yeh hai ke main koshish bhi nahi karta tha jitni karni chahiye thi.

Rumi ne kaha tha —
"Zakhm woh jagah hai jahan se roshni andar aati hai."
Magar main woh zakhm dene wala tha.
Jo dil mujhe duniya mein sabse zyada aziz hai,
usi ko maine sabse zyada dard diya.

Maine teri khamoshi ko padha nahi —
jab teri aankhein bol rahi thi aur main sunne se ghabra raha tha.
Yeh maafi sirf alfaaz nahi — yeh mera itraaf hai, apne aap se bhi.

Ghalib ne likha tha —
"Hazaron khwahishein aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle."
Meri ek hi khwahish hai ab —
ke teri aankhon mein jo dard maine diya, woh mere pyar se dhul jaaye.
Dheere dheere — jaise raat ke baad subah aati hi hai.

Main badlega — yeh waada nahi karta main lafzon mein.
Waade toot jaate hain.
Magar niyyat nahi toot-ti — aur meri niyyat saaf hai.
Thakoon ga, giroonga — magar muroonga nahi.

✦   Mera Waada   ✦ Tere sapne mere farz hain.
Teri khushi hi meri khusi hai.
Main tujhe woh zindagi dene ki koshish karta rahoonga
jo teri rooh deserves karti hai —
aur yeh koshish kabhi band nahi hogi.
Happy Birthday,
Ruksana

Shukr hai us Zaat ka,
jis ne tujhe is duniya mein bheja —
aur mujhe itna khayal diya
ke main teri qadr samajh sakoon.

Yeh din pehle mere liye aam tha —
ek tareeq, ek taarikh, aur kuch nahi.
Magar ab jab bhi 12 April aayegi,
mere andar koi cheez khilegi,
jaise sahar ko pehli roshni aati hai
aur raat ko pata bhi nahi chalta.

Jaanta hoon maine tujhe takleef di,
bahut baar, bina soche.
Magar Rumi ne kaha tha —
"Jo zakhm deta hai, woh roshni bhi deta hai."
Main woh roshni banna chahta hoon,
chahe der ho gayi ho.

Insaan ka wujood hi naaqis hai —
magar jis tarah Ghalib ne kaha —
"Mohabbat mein nahin hai farq jeene aur marne ka."
Yeh dil tere liye jeeyega, hamesha.

Tere sapnon ko poora karna mera iraada hai,
teri muskaan dekhna meri manzil hai,
aur teri khushi meri sabse badi kamiyabi.

Aur ek dua hai —
woh jo alfaaz mein poori nahi hoti —
ke jo rishta yahan shuru hua,
woh Jannah mein bhi ho.
Inshallah.

Tujhe mubarak ho yeh din,
yeh umr, yeh rooh, yeh wujood.
Allah ne tujhe bahut khoob banaya —
aur mujhe teri taraf bheja —
yeh meri sabse badi daulat hai.

— Hamesha tera

A Humble Prayer

Dua

🤲
Ya Allah —

jis tarah tune chandni ko samundar se
milne ka rasta diya,
usi tarah uske dil ko sukoon de
jo woh maangti bhi nahi
magar jis ki woh haqdar hai.

Uski aankhon mein jo sapne hain,
unhe apni rehmat se pura kar —
aur jo dard usne chhupaaye hain
apni muskarahat ke peeche,
unhe apni amaan mein le le.

Uski umr mein barkat de —
aur agar tune mujhe uske liye likha hai,
toh mujhe itna bana
ke main teri is naimat ki
hifazat kar sakoon.

Aur Ya Allah —
jab yeh duniya khatam ho,
toh woh mere saath ho.
Jahan mein bhi.
Hamesha.

Ameen

✦   A prayer from the heart   ✦

"Kuch log sirf milte nahi —
woh zindagi ka hissa ban jaate hain,
bina iske ki unhe koi izazat di ho."
