Waqt ki Ret...

Waqt Ki Ret
Chust bada hai labada waqt ka

Phir bhi yun lagta hai jaise kal hi ki baat hai.
Waqt ki ret jam gai hai us waqt ko
Phir bhi yun lagta hai jaise kal hi ki baat hai.
Ik arsaa hua us arse ko guzre
Phir bhi yun lagta hai jaise kal hi ki baat hai.
Thehre pani saa lagta hai waqt, us waqt me
Phir bhi yun lagta hai jaise kal hi ki baat hai.
Ik hissa mera hai abhi bhi us waqt me
Waqt-bewaqt pahunch hi jati hu us waqt me
Ashk dhundla dete hain is waqt ko meri nazron me
Aur "kaash" lafz bechaini paida kar deta hai mere dil me
Kaash wo waqt, waqt ki kitab se mit gaya hota
Kaash wo waqt siyaah rangon se likha hi na gaya hota
Kaash us waqt ne yun bedardi se muh na phera hota
Kaash.... Waqt itni jald hatheli se phisla na hota
Aur mujhe us waqt me qaid rehna na padta.

Chust bada hai labada waqt ka

Phir bhi yun lagta hai jaise kal hi ki baat hai.
Nanhi si ik zindagi khelti thi us waqt ke bagh me
Khushiyan buni jati thi un sardiyon ki sham me
Lekin kehte hain na "Waqt bhi waqti hota hai har waqt me."
Badi berukhi se mod liya us waqt ne
Kar diya soona us baagh ko
Supurd-e-khak kar diya us nanhi si zindagi ko
Mayusi see phail gai us waqt k baagh me
Khamoshiyan buni jane lagi un sardiyon ki sham me
Beshak, "waqt bhi waqti hota hai har waqt me."
Waqt ko bhi waqt lagta hai sambhalne me
Waqt lagta hai waqt ko bhi badalne me
Phir badal hi jata hai
Akhir guzar hi jata hai
Chunki, chust bada hai labada waqt ka
Phir bhi yun lagta hai jaise kal hi ki baat hai.

    Ye pakeeza zehniyat ka inaam hai Allah ki taraf se. Hamesha isi tarah rehna. Allah hamesha se hamari ragh e jaan se bhi qareeb hai

I am my own Inspiration

"I am my own inspiration. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without me ." That may sound bold, but if you knew the nights I’ve spent crying into my pillow—aching quietly while the world slept—and the mornings I still showed up like nothing cracked… you’d understand. If you knew how many times life tried to break me into pieces, and how I calmly gathered each one and turned it into something beautiful,  you’d understand why I walk with quiet strength now. Life , this four-letter word we throw around casually, carries galaxies within it. Joy and grief. Surprise and stillness. Storms and sudden sunlight. It isn’t one emotion or one season, it’s all of it, layered like brushstrokes in a portrait we’re painting every day. We often wait for clarity to hit like a lightning bolt. Or worse, we brace for the worst just when hope peeks through. We climb high with joy when something works out, and then fall harder when it doesn’t. But maybe we need to stop swinging so wildly ...

Think You’ve Wasted the First 20 Days of Ramadan? Read This Before Tonight.

Twenty days of Ramadan… gone. I blinked and suddenly we’re here. The third Friday of Ramadan. When the month began, I had a clear picture in my head of what my Ramadan would look like. I had goals... real goals. I was going to wake up regularly for Tahajjud, read the Qur'an slowly with reflection, make long thoughtful duas, and keep distractions away as much as possible. I imagined a calm Ramadan where my days felt intentional and my nights felt deeply connected to Allah. I thought Ramadan would slow life down. Instead, life kept running and I kept trying to catch my breath. Work kept moving. Responsibilities stayed exactly where they were. Sleep schedules became unpredictable. Some days felt like a blur between suhoor, work, iftar, son's exams and trying to gather enough energy to make it through the next day. I kept telling myself I would slow down tomorrow. Tomorrow I would read more Qur’an. Tomorrow I would sit down and make a proper dua list. Tomorrow I would catch up. ...
