Pain of Love

She is near to me yet far

She is from my distressed heart,

She knows not what I have

In my heart a longing for her

That the more I look at her the more

I feel unfulfilled with her charm

How can I tell her!

That she looks beautiful

When smiles with that blushed cheeks

How may she know that I love her!

When she calls me apart

That how much I enjoy

When she is displeased by my hidden love

Oh! What a face she makes then

What an appeal of love she creates,

When songs of her admiration

Brings pain in my heart

rippling the old memories again, these lines dates back to 2006-07.

Deep Love

Oh! How could I tell her?

It rains all over in that

Deep gloomy bottomless heart

When she curls her lips and smile

Yet starring at her for hours

I couldn’t fill my heart

With the heavy emotions of her charm

Oh! How could I tell her?

That her beauty takes my heart

Like a rain with a torment fall

On my shivering heart it leaves cold

Burning desires that ablaze my soul

She will never know how I felt

When staring at me I caught her eyes

Oh! How could I tell her?

All my life I have not seen such face

Never heard such pure loving voice

Neither had touched such ever loving hands

Nor such blushed cheeks like hers

Oh! God let her be mine

And I would be thy loyal slave all my life

rippling the old memories again, these lines dates back to 2006-07.

The Eternal Departure

Posted by ink in February 26, 2011

Its quite here, and we call it weekend. I only heard of it since the day i get started my career in Web/Graphics Designing, like 3 years back. And if i look back i don’t reckon if i have used the word yet cherish it. Its like the no-home work holiday when you were at school.

Weekends are nostalgic; they remind you of your loved ones, family, friends and people you don’t see everyday, people you have been seeing all your life before you were tangled in the corporate world.

One elderly relative of mine passed away couple of days ago, it wasn’t revealed on me until today and while i tried my best to take off earlier from office the possibility of being home today was further dimmed by “cashlessness ( i just taught a word of my own to dictionary here).

His name is Sikandar alias bacha. An energetic and jolly soul who would greet you with a dramatic giggle like no other, Allah had given him an elegant voice , which i discovered when i became used to to his Adhan (another valuable vocabulary for my blogs dictionary) given in mosque five times day. His Adhan, admiringly,  could be heard far and wide.

I don’t know much about his life, but these are some of his poignant memories that i will carry with myself for sometime. I won’t be blessed with his extravagant laughter nor his grave call for the Prayer but i will be blessed with his dignified memories. – A man of a brave heart and bold speech.

I am dismay only for not saying a farewell to him and not having the last ceremonies of his life.

May Allah have boundless blessing upon him in the eternal abode,  Aameen!

The Exclamation, Period and Question Mark

Posted by ink in August 5, 2010

Another Bullshit in my career leads me to joblessness, yet again :( , its unbearable and shattered me to bits. Came as an Exclamation mark to all the enthusiasm and affection towards my work and workplace.

They say i could have averted this catastrophe had i denied the charges and lied to my boss. But little do they know that i have put a strong Period to falsehood in all its shades. Honesty and straightforwardness is my new cookbook for living.

Question is am i able to continue my career as WD or its time to think over getting the Pen & Paper out of the oblivion? I am struggling in getting myself back to pixel mania and have so far dropped more then half a dozen resumes in different parts of the city, and yes i went as far as the other end of the city i have never known; all by myself. Its been an experience of its own, so far i have had it twice with the first one in yesteryear being less dramatic and cost-effective then the present. The Situation is worse down here. Joblessness misery coupled with unprecedented dept and arrears haunting me day and night. Prayers and quest makes things better and keeps me alive else all these Question Marks are making me sick big time.

Lo! it’s the 1st day of Ramadan :)

Germany Lost! :(

With all its might and acclaim the German Forces failed to proceed in the FIFA Football battlefield. There defeat seemed some how inevitable in the face of spanish offenses occurring momentarily from the very start .

I wanted the German’s to win and i still can’t face the ugly truth. Spain played with style and quality performance. It couldn’t be more better. 

The cup is already seen in the hands of Spain – Hispania!. ( I just taught a word to my electronic dictionary here :0 ) .

Cheers!

Halat Badalnay main Dair Na Ho Malik

Mourning and praying for the little soul that fell victim of suicide bombing on April 19 2010, when a bomb exploded on the front gate of my beloved Police Public school. ” I wanted to cry for what i was seeing on the television and that a little boy has lost his life”, were the words of my cousin who also had his educational life spent in the same school with me.Police Public School

I called home to know that my younger brother is safe, he had left the school just a while ago when this tragedy took place. I thanked God and prayed for the unfortunates who didn’t know that the start of the week will bring such a despicable incident.

I can’t find the right words that will rightfully express my feelings.

Perhaps this beautiful tune from A.R.Rahman and Lata Mangeshkar, (from the film “Pukar” ) speaks well for my soul.

………….

Ek Tu Hi Bharosa


aa jaao ki sab milke rab se duaa maangein

Come, so everyone can join together in prayer to God.

jivan mein sukuun chaahein chaahat mein wafaa maangein

We wish for peace in life; we ask for fidelity in love.

haalaat badalne mein ab der na ho maalik

May you not delay in changing our situation, God!

ek tu hi bharosa ek tu hi sahaara

Only you alone can we depend on; you are our one and only succor.

is tere jahaan mein nahin koi hamaara

There is no one of ours in this world of yours.

he ishwar ya allaah yeh pukaar sun le

God, Allah, listen to this cry,

he ishwar ya allaah he daata

Oh God, Allah, supreme being.

ham se na dekha jaaye barbaadiyon ka samaan

We cannot behold this scene of destruction,

ujari huyi basti mein ye tarap rahe insaan

in neighborhoods laid to waste, these aching human beings.

nanhe jismon ke tukre liye khari hai ek maan

A mother stands holding the pieces of little bodies.

baaruud ke dhuyein mein tu hi bol jaaye kahaan

You tell us where she should go amidst the smoke of gunfire.

naadaan hain ham to maalik kyon di hamein yeh sazaa

We are innocent, God; why did you give us this punishment?

ya hai sabhi ke dil mein nafrat ka zahar bharaa

Or is there hatred welling over in the hearts of everyone?

inhein phir se yaad dilaa de sabaq vohi pyaar ka

Remind them again of that lesson of love,

ban jaaye gulshan phir se kaanTon bhari duniya

so this world filled with thorns will once again become a garden.

meri pukaar sun le

Hear my cry.

Illuminated !

As soon as we entered  the mohallah the marvel  that we witnessed was unbelievable, the street(mohallah) of our village was alight with tube lights and energy savers every 20 feet of distance from each other. Never has been there such an illumination done whether its a ceremony of wedding  or any other.

My first expressions were directed in favor of our MNA Dr.Arbab Alamgir, who has recently installed a new transformer in our area. But i found later that this was the work of our own mohallah commission who sits every sunday night to discuss issues that needs attention and collect money for the welfare work.

Seeing the well lit street i wished that the lights will last for long and more work such as the sanitary and drainage problem will also be put under serious consideration of the commission.
