To the judgemental self and The judgemental world

I hone the way I learn and speak
Can you judge me by the number of languages I speak?

I carve my path by bushes and flowers
Can you doubt my intelligence by the choices I keep?

I admire the beauty of the beast
Can you criticise me for the verses I preach?

I burn my soul to keep the world in light
Can you still call me soul of the night?

Unspoken Words

This poem is dedicated to 

The judgemental self 

And 

The judgemental world 

I learn daily 

I win daily 

I lose daily 

I fight daily 

I cry daily 

Can you judge me?

Can you figure all out?

No, you can’t 

Especially 

No, you shouldn’t 

“I hone the way I learn and speak 

Can you judge me by the number of languages I speak?”

I learn 

I grow

I hone my skills 

Can you give me a name 

Give my personality a name 

Give my belief a name 

Just by the variety of languages, I am able to speak 

“I carve my path by bushes and flowers 

Can you doubt my intelligence by the choices I keep?”

I have different opinions 

Different approaches 

I don’t carve my path by tools 

I use fragile bushes and flowers to carve the path made of stones 

“I admire the beauty of the beast 

Can you criticise me for the verses I preach?”

I find beauty in the dark places 

I find beauty in the stillness of the night

I find beauty in the eyes or expressions of the beast 

Can you criticise me for my idea of beauty?

“I burn my soul to keep the world in light

Can you still call me the soul of the night?”

I love unconditionally 

I love uncritically 

But people come and go in life.

I am here with you today.

But I may not stay tomorrow.

Would still trust me to be there with you for this moment.

A Reflection of You

TheTiny Aspects of life

Who are you in this world?
As small as the dust particle
Or
As Huge as the oceans


What is yours in this world?
The mere money that you yearn
Or
The lessons that you learn


What pleases you in this world?
The stillness of a lake
Or
A deep red cherry on a big vanilla cake

What scares you the in this world?
The warmth on a mean face
Or
The dullness on a child’s face


What triggers you in this world?
A poke in your emotions
Or
Faith in God and devotion!

Have you ever thought about this beautiful life? It’s purpose. 

What makes you happy? 

What makes you sad?

 What is your true calling? 

The writer is asking questions to herself and wants you to ask yourself these questions. 

There comes a time in life when we all need to introspect. 

We need to ask ourselves who we truly are? 

What defines us? 

What drives us? 

What do we think of ourselves?

 A small, invisible dust that is there but neglected by all.

 Or are we like a large ocean, filled with emotions and thoughts, that cares for the entire world.

What really matters to us? 

The money, the power, name and fame. Or the knowledge.

 The invaluable lessons in life. 

To live and let others live.

 To be a giver. 

To contribute to the growth and nourishment of the world.

What makes us happy? 

The beauty of nature. 

The hills, the lake, green gardens, the wonder that the world is. 

Or is the man-made pieces if attraction. Things that give us pleasure. 

But short-lived. 

What hurts us the most? 

People being mean, rude or betraying us.

 Or is it the children of this world who miss their childhood.

What drives you to live and enjoy your life?

Your will to succeed.

 Your desire to fulfil every dream. 

To prove to everyone what you can do. 

Or is it your faith in God.

 Faith in humanity. 

Your perseverance to make the world a better place to live.

For Love

                                                   My Idea Of Love

    Artwork Credits: Unknown

A white crisp paper in my hand

And suddenly all memories started to rewind

How beautiful you are my love 

Like a magnificent pink dove

The daily 7 PM knock at the door 

Makes all my emotions roar

You setting up my bed for me 

Gives me all the tranquil feelings I wanna keep

This post is really special as it is my 100th post on Instagram.

 The content I post on Instagram is different from the content I post here.

But since this is my 100th post so I thought why not synchronize for a day.

    Unspoken Words

I don’t think I can really describe love

It’s too beautiful to be explained in words 

It’s a mesmerising feeling

Love can be so many things 

It means differently to different people

I don’t think this feeling of being in love or actually able to love someone can be generic.

It varies 

In this tiny poem, I am writing about love the way I feel 

The way I can sense it 

The way I can adore it

I find love exists in so many things 

The tiny gestures 

The long talks 

The little fights 

I mean doing all those things together

My idea of love is what I have expressed in this poem

My idea of faith,

My idea of belief 

In love

The poem is self-explanatory 

All I wanted to do was explain my idea behind it.

My emotions and feelings behind the poem.

If you guys like it

Do let me know in the comments below.

I would love to hear it from you.

And please follow for regular updates,

Your little gestures will mean a lot to me.

Urdu Shayri

EYES THAT SPEAK

Teergi(1) Mai say cheekhti nighaahein

Apnay wajood ka falsafa bayan kar Rahi hain

Pass aaa kar dekho kitnay asraar(2) bayan kar Rahi hain

Ghubaar(3) jo tumhari aankon Mai padha hai ghuroor ka

Kaha milega wajood humare zeest(4) ka

1. darkness

2.secrets

3.cloud of dust

4.existence

UNSPOKEN WORDS

Eyes
They are the most intimate and magnificent organ of a human body
They speak without uttering anything
They listen without hearing anything
We all underestimate the power of eyes
The strength and emotions eyes hold are majestic

Here in this particular Urdu Shayari
Eyes are conveying their pain.
Their struggle.
Their effort.
Eyes are crying out from the deep darknesses to prove their existence.
They want to be heard.
They want to be acknowledged.
They want someone to listen and understand the pain they have endured.

From a distance, one sees happiness in the eyes. But come closer and you will see the deep secrets hidden in these eyes. Secrets coming out in form of tears which nobody is able to understand.


Everybody's eyes are covered by a cloud of ego. A cloud of self-importance. Nobody can see the pain of others. They are too busy looking at themselves, praising themselves, admiring themselves.

They cannot see my existence. They cannot see my pain. They can never acknowledge the secrets in my eyes. They can never value our presence in their lives. They always remain unaware of the emotions that the eyes want to convey.

Nostalgia

 A Trip Down the Memory Lane

Haphazardly I went from the woods of barren land

Seeing the worst of nightmares

The cries of lost fertility crave for freedom

I plead for an Arcadian(idea of life believed to be perfect) town in this fleeting livelihood

Where effervescent(blooming) is nowhere to be seen

UNSPOKEN WORDS

Do you remember a place from your childhood, that used to be filled with joy and happiness?

Perhaps lush green lands, gardens blooming with flowers.

Or farms decorated in gold of sunflower or wheat.

That smell of soil after rains.

Wasn't it all so serene.

But with time, it lost all its charms.

The happiness and colours turned dull.

The writer is trying to tell about such a place close to her heart.

The writer says that she came to such a place after a long time and cannot believe what had happened to the wonderful place.

She uneasily went through the place.

Where there used to be tall green trees, now lies a barren land which has nothing but just sand left.

Even in her worst nightmares, she could not imagine that this place, which was the source of livelihood of tireless farmers, is now infertile.

The land now seems to be crying about its lost glory.

The town is filled with nothing but a gloomy silence.

All that the writer wishes is that somehow that old calmness and joy would return in this town which is no longer present.

She wishes somehow the soil turns fertile and the people of the town get back their livelihood and happiness.

She hopes to see this town just like it was during her childhood.

                                                   UNSPOKEN WORDS

        Love is the most wonderful feeling in the world. Life seems to be like a beautiful garden when you are in love.

 And the moments you cherish with the loved one are unforgettable.

But what if the one you love is not around.

 Times change, relationships change. 

But the love remains the same.

The desire to see your loved one for one last time, to meet, just to have a glimpse, could be painful.

The writer is trying to explain such a desire. 

The hope, that the loved one would come to meet, one last time.

When she is sick, she hopes that the loved one would come to see her.

 For the sake of the beautiful days that they had spent together.

She hopes that he would come back thinking about the mutual respect and understanding that they have shared for such a long time.

She wishes that he would come to see how she is living life without him. 

Life doesn't seem so beautiful without him.

 She wishes he could understand that.

Although the relationship is not the same like before, it was her last wish to see him one more time.

 And she hopes that he would come back one final time to fulfil that wish. 

She wishes he could listen to her voice of the heart and meet her one last time.

The beauty of the sky

                                                                 N.A.T.U.R.E
                             

The glimpse of the green in the dusk sky

Like a marvellous painting on a wall up high

The street lights giving a tinge of yellow

Like they were in a mood of mellow

The fading of blue light and a spark of white light

All were indicating the rise of a dark night

The pin drop silence and the darkness were saying it all

You can’t change the nature after all

Try observing the beauty of the sky when the sun has almost set and the night is about to begin.

The sky exhibits colours so alluring.

The mother nature is definitely an artist.

The way colours mingle with one another and paint the sky in a magnificent way.

At that point, everything seems to be contributing to enhancing the beauty.

This short poem is a minimalistic effort to capture the aura of nature.

Though this poem is not enough to aptly describe the art that our environment displays.

But yeah it conveys the emotions that are there.

The circus of Life

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT

Hope is no longer the same.

Longing onto seems like a job in vain.

The zeal of living is no longer the same.

Faking it seems like an act in vain.

The beauty of the dreams is no longer the same.

Appreciating it seems like a talk in vain.

The warmth of happiness is no longer the same.

Feeling the aura of it seems like a shot in vain.

Unspoken Words

Life is full of ups and downs.

 It can take many twists and turns. 

Throughout this journey, hope is the most important thing that stays with. Hope helps us live through tough phases and wait for happy times. 

But how long can one hope? How long can one wait for things to change? 

The writer is trying to express the fight she is fighting within her mind where her hopes of something good happening in life is diminishing fast.

The writer says that her hopes are no longer high. 

She has been holding onto hopes of good times to come for so long but now it all seems vain.

She has been living her life full of passion, full of hopes of great things happening.

 She might be sad, her heart may be heavy but she would carry a smile on her face. 

But now it seems futile.

 It is hard to fake a smile anymore.

She had so many dreams of doing great things in life.

 She had planned great things for herself.

 But now it seems like the world of dreams is crashing down. 

She can no longer talk about its beauty as they are slowly turning into a nightmare.

She was once encircled with happy thoughts. Filled with joy. 

There were once warm feelings in her heart about life. 

But now it is the all cold harsh reality. 

The reality from which she has been trying to run away but she can't. 

The sadness has taken over all the hopes and all her thoughts of happiness are in vain.

My admiration for You

 You 

                                                      All About You

    The smile you carry can melt away any cruel heart.

The positive vibes you project always leave a good mark.

The simplicity you wear can sideline any lavish avatar.

The way you talk is like the sweet music you would like to hear when you go for a walk.

The thoughts that you instill can give someone’s life a good start.

Unspoken Words

Admiration is a part of life.

We admire people for who they are and for what they do.

Admirations are always pleasing when you are at the receiving end.

Here the writer felt an urge to admire the beauty of a person to whom she is very close.

She is trying to express her fondness for that person.

Each line in this poem is easy to understand.

It doesn't require much of an explanation.

Here I wish to convey that if you like a person, enjoy  their company,

let them know.

It hardly takes 1-2 minutes of your busy life.

That's not a big cost to pay if you get to see that adorable smile.

If you get to see how bright one's face lits up when you admire someone.

You never know what your kind words might be doing.

It might light up someone's bad day.

Let people know how well you enjoy their company.

All I want to say that "Let people know how you feel about them".

You never know what those charming words of yours might be doing.

Never underestimate the power of words.

The real Shadow of you

                                                       
                                   The  Dark recesses of my Heart

In the corners of my heart.

I have seen a different shadow of me.

A diminishing timid picture of me.

A soul trying to reach out to someone.

A will trying to open up to someone.

A hope to let go that sinking feeling I have been holding onto for so long.

An urge to be able to express more.

An inexplicable thought behind the deepest sorrows I hold.

I write several things, be it shayris, poems, quotes, thought of the day, life situations I face on day to day basis.

This particular poem is my most prized possession.

I really don't know why but I feel connected to it.

It reflects me.

I had the same kind of thoughts a while back

and 

Sometimes

I get them now as well.

This poem truly shows the dark recesses of my heart.

I have no shame in admitting that I feel like that.

There is really nothing wrong in feeling lost at some point.

Many of us go through that kind of phases.

This particular poem is self-explanatory.

It is very difficult for her to express why she has all those feelings.

She is sinking into her own thoughts and sadness.

She lives in a world which has been mean to her.

She has been betrayed in her life so it is difficult for her to trust someone again.

Betrayal leaves scars which are difficult to heal.
