The best solitary confinement to shed tears is when you are alone Alone on a prayer mat Alone on a driving seat Alone in a-train to a farther destination Alone in a valley where you cry aloud and your echo cries with you
میں تمہارے لیے اپنے اہل و قبیلہ سے لڑنے کو تیار تھا، مگر اب، اگر تم میرے پاس ساری دنیا بھی لے آؤ، تب بھی میں تمہیں نہیں چاہتا۔ _____________ — محمود درویش
You took away my best companion and left me stranded There is nothing which could compensate for this great loss Nothing will ever be the same again Nothing will bring back those moments And life will remain stranded
Why don’t we normalise crying ? Be it tears of joy or pain I want to cry out loud while working, driving or cooking But I’m surrounded by people and it raises question marks And I don’t post my weeping stories on social media too So im glad you will never know what im going through Those who don’t care should not have right to know
Oh how I miss your shoulder With a night spent in distress Being cold and breathless As if the breaths would stop And leave my chest heavy in pain With no one to go to and No one to show my tears Oh how I miss your presence In my life The life which is no more What it used to be with you by my side And not only this one night I miss your presence every where In each moment of my life Each step I take into future Your footsteps are missing Your smile your laughter Your twinkling eyes are missing And the dilemma is Im not sure If I’ll ever find you again
شفق سے دور ، ستاروں کی شاہراہ سے دور اداس ہونٹوں پہ جلتے سلگتے سینے سے تمھارا نام کبھی اس طرح ابھرتا ہے فضا میں جیسے فرشتوں کے نرم پر کھل جائیں دِلوں سے جیسے پرانی کدُورتیں دھل جائیں .
