Oak Says...

Kitna kuch sehta hai tu, aye aanchal mere. Har zer-o-zabar me hota hai tu, aye aanchal mere. Dhup jo sataye mujhe, chupa leta hai tu apni jild me. Ashq jo bahe mere, samet leta hai tu unhe apni gehrai me. Khushi se jhumu jab main, chehak kar lehra uthta hai tu in hawao me. Sharm se jab hu pani pani main, ik adaa se bikhar jata hai tu azaari me. Ibadat jo karu main, peshani se lipat jata hai tu sanjeedgi me. Dua ke liye hath jo uthau main, tamam ne'mat jazb kar leta hai tu apne goshe'h me. Kitna kuch sehta hai tu, aye aanchal mere. Har zer-o-zabar me hota hai tu, aye aanchal mere. Meri zindagi ke har sho'be me hota hai tu, aye aanchal mere. #AfrinFatima

اپنی "انا" کو فنا کر اپنی "انا" کو آب آب کر کہ نہیں رکھا کچھ انا کے وظیفے میں اپنے قلب کو وضع کر اپنی ذات کو آراستہ کر اپنی روح کو مخلص کر نہ رکھ واسطہ صفت سے، نہ مزمت سے رہ بیپرواہ دنیا کی لذت سے کہ تجھے بلندی حاصل ہوگی عاجزی سے اپنی انا کو فنا کر اپنی انا کو آب آب کر کہ نہیں رکھا کچھ انا کے وظیفے میں کہ نہیں رکھا کچھ غرور و تکبر میں  Apni "anaa" ko fana kar Apni "anaa" ko aab aab kar Keh nahi rakha kuch anaa ke wazeefe me Apne qalb ko wazae' kar Apni zaat ko araastah kar Apni rooh ko mukhlis kar Na rakh wastah sifat se na mazammat se Reh beparwah duniya ki lazzat se Keh tujhe bulandi hasil hogi aa'jizi se Apni anaa ko fana kar Apni anaa ko aab aab kar Keh nahi rakha kuch anaa ke wazeefe me Keh nahi rakha kuch ghuroor o takabbur me Destroy your ego Let your ego thaw away For that is no good to benefice your ego Cleanse your heart of impurity Ornament your essence of benevolence Make your ...

  A bird, nesting for weeks Now it's finally time to fling and fly It's been very very long and tiresome To be curled up in the nest It will take time, indeed To sour as high as it used to do once Chores, a lot of them not done for so long Quotidian, it was to curl up, snuggle and repose Now, it's time to set a new schedule "Tables served with compeer will now be a dine of aloof." Perplexed this little thing is, To sneak a peek out of confortare Inbred it wasn't of all this vantage It's time, that made it a knack But, let's take a leap now Start afresh with a clean slate For, the more it stays nested The more it jolts with its being Prowess, of it, to finally take a flight To wander in the darkest forests, to the highest peaks and trees The view from there, the beauty, the pulchritude, only seen by the eyes those dare to glide above the horizon, that can only be earned by courage Ughhhh!!! This is what it lectures itself...

Play for me.... As my soul yearns to see you play. Play for me.... As I dangle with all the joy I gather  in me along with your fingers dance  on the keyboard. Play for me.... As I want that serenity, that calm in me. Play for me.... As I find love in the notes you play. Play for me.... As I wanna dive into the waters of your  love to find solitude for me. Play for me.... As it calms the thunder I feel inside of me. Play for me.... As I wanna sink into your deep black eyes. Play for me.... As I get a glimpse of the other world... My  World in your music. Play for me.... As it is the gateway to my salvation. Play for me.... As it rips my heart if you don't.  Play for me.... As it makes me believe in enchantment. Play for me.... As it prims my psyche. Play for me.... As it purges my soul. Play for me.... As it makes me adore you, love you  even more. Play for me.... As every key you play with, speaks to me. Play for me.....

~ Hey dear!!! What's the matter??? Is everything alright??? Why so sombre??? DO you wanna talk??? You can talk to me, right??? ~Sure we can talk, why on earth can't we??? No, no, leave it, you know you too should stay away from me. I am such a bad vibe, all I have is a bad aura around me and you too can get infected. So just stay away from me. You know every time I try to fix smiles and laughters on every face, every time I try to fill lives with delight because I know there is so much chaos in every heart and all want and deserve to be happy. That is all I want for every soul but everything just ends abruptly and awkwardly. I am not good for being a friend to anybody. I don't deserve to be around people, I simply belong to my loneliness, I really should learn to embrace my own self at my own planet of lonesome lake and gloomy sky. Why should I come out of all this, just to ruin the share of happiness all deserve??? You know I had all these plans to change the world,...

Why Oak Says ? If you’ve ever landed here and paused for a moment, just long enough to wonder, “Why this name?” Why Oak Says , and not something more obvious like The Mindful Notebook or Thoughts & Musings or some clever play on “soulful scribbles”? I’ve asked myself that too, many times. And every time, I circle back to this quiet, strong image of an oak tree. Not because it’s trendy. Not because it’s poetic. Because it feels like the truth. What the Oak Means to Me? The Oak, to me, is ancient and steady. It doesn’t rush, doesn’t show off. It knows who it is and has nothing to prove. Growing up, I used to imagine trees had personalities. The neem outside my window was grumpy but loyal. The gulmohar down the street was flamboyant, always dressed in red. And the oak—though I hadn’t seen one in real life—felt like the wise one. The one who’d seen things and still chose silence over noise. Years later, when I stumbled across mythologies and spiritual texts, it surprised...

                                          Yes.... After all...!!!!! Yes... I am born today, Today is my day, I deserve whole world's happiness today, Because its my birthday today, I wait for 364 days every year for this day. Said he, with a spark in his eyes, Met him on this very day, Started off to know him from this very day, Because he was born this very day. I chum up with him, like everyday, I make him laugh, he makes me happy, like everyday, Our actions are entirely same, People would say that this is lame, But I say we are made of the same clay, Close to each other we always gonna stay, His motive, to seek happiness for evey soul, My motive, to seek bright smile, but not foul, He is finding himself along the walk, I am finding ray for him to keep up the walk, So many shades of grey, yearns my soul and tears me apart, A verve of delight for him, is all I want...
