The older you get, the more you pick calm over chaos, and distance over disrespect. You prioritize your mental health, peace, and happiness — over everything.

In English we say:
“Out of all people you misunderstood me”
But in Urdu we say:
“Usay meri baatein ab samajh nahi aati,
Kabhi jo meri khamoshi ki tafseer likha karta tha.”

Why is it “right person wrong time” and not “har ishq ka aik waqt hota hai, wo hamara waqt nhi tha lekin is ka matlab ye nhi ke wo ishq nhi tha.”

pov : your grief is beloved to you.
"mere gham bohot azeez hain mujhe,
maine inke inaam mein imaan paya hai"
my sorrows are very dear to me, i have found faith in their reward.

Today my mom was singing Mirza Ghalib's most famous ghazal, "yeh na thi humari qismat" (This was not our destiny). I said her "Let me record " and she replied "I won't let you record. I know you'll post it on your Tumblr and your friends will laugh at my voice." 😆After a lot of persuasion she finally agreed. Please ignore my strange voice, I have cold.😅
ye na thi humaari qismat ke wisaal-e-yaar hota agar aur jeete rehte yahi intezaar hota.
It was not my destiny that there would be a union with my beloved. If I had lived further on, there would have been this same waiting.
ye kaha ki dosti hai ke bane hain dost naaseh koi chaarasaaz  hota, koi ghamgusaar hota
What kind of friendship is this, where the friends have now become advisors. If only there were some healer, if only there was some sympathizer.
