Bye with the intention of:
"Ab ke ham bichhre to shayad kabhi khwaabon mein milein, jis tarah sookhe hue phuul kitabon mein milein."
"Now when we separate, we will probably meet in dreams the way one stumbles upon withered flowers in books."
- Ahmad Faraz

People say "time heals; it helps you forget everything."
But Ahmed faraz wrote:
phir bhi maazi ka khayal aata hai gahe-gahe,
muddate dard ki lau kam to nahi kar sakti,
zakhm bhar jaye magar daagh to rah jaata hai,
duriyo se kabhi yaade to nahi mar sakti.
Even so, thoughts of the past come back now and then. Time might ease the pain but it won't end. Wounds may heal, but the scars still stay. Memories won't die, no matter how far away.

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.”

In English we call them Dark Circles but in urdu
Adhurey khwabo ka qabristan hai ye,
yahan qisse chhupe hai daur-e-hayat ke!

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.”

Tell me about her eyes:
Sitaron se bhari hovi raatein pasand hai, duur se suni uski baatein pasand hai
Tareef ke qabil hai uske baal phir bhi par, Mujhe sab se ziada uski aankhein pasand hai.

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.

Har raat meri aankhein inhi sochon mein ghum ho jaati hain;
Ke mera maqsad-e-hayaat kya tha,
Aur mujhe thaka kin kaamon ne diya!

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.
