Hello! I’m not sure if you’d know, but I’m looking for a poem.
It was a about a girl who had attempted suicide and afterwards her father had driven very far to get her plums at her request. When she had received them she promised not to hurt herself anymore as the strength from all the people who loved her would keep her going.
It was quite popular but if you don’t remember maybe someone else would? Thank you.
I know the one! It's not a poem but an excerpt from Mary Karr's Cherry 💗

یوں بھی نہیں کہ شام و سحر انتظار تھا
کہتے نہیں تھے منہ سے مگر انتظار تھا
it wasn't like if we waited each day and night
we won't say it but we did..
مدت کے بعد پھول کی صورت کھلا تھا دل
شبنم کی طرح ت��زہ و تر انتظار تھا
it took so long for our hearts to bloom like flowers
where this fresh longing existed like dew drops
بالوں میں دھول پاؤں میں چھالے نہ تھے مگر
پھر بھی کچھ ایک رنج سفر انتظار تھا
we were not ruined in our love
but still, some kind of pain for longing was there
کوئی خبر تھی اس کی پرندوں کے شور میں
رنگ ہوا میں شاخ و شجر انتظار تھا
there was some news of it among the birds chirping
this longing was visible in all the colors of nature

When Scott Fitzgerald said "and in the end, we were all just humans..... drunk on the idea that love, only love could heal our brokenness." And Mirza Ghalib said "through love, i tasted the spirit of life. Curing one pain it yielded another incurable one".

“ek samandar hai jo mere kaabu mein hai,
aur ek katra hai jo mujhse sambhala nahin jaata
ek umr hai jo bitaani hai uske bagair,
aur ek lamha hai jo mujhse guzaara nahin jaata.”
-Gulzar

What do conscious people know, What being passionate is like
Fall in love, and then you will understand, What life is.
Tumblr media
The moment our eyes met, the atmosphere brightened
Today I realized, What is the magic of love
Tumblr media
Loosen tresses of hair taught the seasons poetry
Lowering gaze explained what being intoxicated feels like
Tumblr media
I could never tell her, The state of my heart
And she never understood, What my silence meant
-Nida Fazli

One of my favorite urdu ghazal :)
Suna hai log use aankh bhar ke dekhte hai
So uske shahar mein kuch din thahar ke dekhte hai
Suna hai rabt hai usko kharab haalon se
So apne aap ko barbaad karke dekhte hai
Suna hai dard ke gahak hai chashm-e-naz uski
So hum bhi uske gali se guzar ke dekhte hai
Suna hai use bhi hai sher o shayari se shagaf
So hum bhi moajize apne hunar ke dekhte hai
Suna hai bole toh baaton se Phool jharte hai
Ye baat hai toh chalo baat karke dekhte hai
Suna hai raat use chaand takta rehta hai
Sitaare bam e falak se utar ke dekhte hai
Suna hai hashr hai uski gazal si aankhein
Suna hai usko hiran dasht bhar ke dekhte hai
Suna hai din ko use titliyaan satati hai
Raat ko jugnu thahar ke dekhte hai
Suna hai raat se badhkar hai kakulein uski
Suna hai shaam ko saayein guzar ke dekhte hai
Suna hai uski siyah chashmagi qayamat hai
So usko surma farosh aah bhar ke dekhte hai
Suna hai uske labon se gulab jalte hai
So hum bhi bahaar pe ilzaam dhar ke dekhte hai
Suna hai aaina tamsil hai jabin uski
Jo saada dil hai use ban savar ke dekhte hai
Suna hai jab se hamail hai uske gardan mein
Mijaz aur hi laal o guhar ke dekhte hai
Suna hai chashm-e-tasavvur se dasht-e-imkan mein
Palang zaviye uske kamar ke dekhte hai
Suna hai uski badan ki tarash aisi hai
Ki phool apni qabaein qatar ke dekhte hai
Bas ek nazar se lut ta hai qaafila dil ka
So rah-ravaan-e-tamanna bhi dar ke dekhte hai
Suna hai uske shabistan se muttasil hai bashith
Makin udhar ke bhi jalwe idher ke dekhte hai
Ruke toh gardishein uska tawaaf Karti hai
Chale toh usko zamane thahar ke dekhte hai
Kise naseeb ki be pairahaan use dekhe
Kabhi kabhi dar o deewar ghar ke dekhte hai
Kahniyan hi sahi sab mubalghe hi sahi
Agar wo khwaab hai tabar karke dekhte hai
Ab uske shahar mein thahre ki kuch kar jaaye
'Faraz' aao siatare safar ke dekhte hai
~ Ahmed faraz

Yes I'm selfish . But do you ever wonder what made me so selfish? Do you wonder what hurt me so much that i locked myself away?
I show everyone that I'm this person that has become selfish and doesn't cry but deep down, the girl who cared too much is still there. She's hidden and locked away because this world gave her too much pain. She hid herself because she was tired of this pain. I couldn't take it.
Look what you made her. You made her wanting to crawl out of her own skin. You made hide herself.

Have never loved anyone as much as I thought I loved him. But he moved on and I'm still where I am, stuck. Could you sew this together with the threads of your lovely words?
