Picture Worth Of Thousand Words….

-

I just got this in my mail and I loved it so thought to share it with you all here! Like they say, a picture is worth of thousand words!

 

for-sale-heart

 

My friend Amandeep wrote these lines sitting in my home some time back. I guess, they are just so true. Entire credit for this writing is to him. I am just putting them up here. These are in Punjabi. I shall explain the meaning in English in a while, have a read,

Maut pichon chitaa tey sowaangey goorri neend,
Saah jindgi ney taan saukha koi lainn nahi denna!

Sab shikway tey shikayataan kar lainniyaa dafan,
Gilla dostaan da udhaar koi rehann nahi denna!

Ik maut di chup lammi tey ik kabar di tanhai,
Lafz jindgi dey bolaan nu koi kehann nahi denna!

Jindgi mehmaan saadi maut mejbaan hai,
Chaa mejbaan da adhoora koi rehann nahi denna!

Ki karogey merey pichon?

Do gharriyaa bas ro k bhull jaogey,
Jad nishaan meri yaad da v mai koi rehann nahi denna!

 

And here is the translation of it in English,

After my death, I shall sleep with peace over my grave,
As in this life, having a sigh of relief is impossible!

All the complaints and pains , I would throw away,
I won’t let any friend complain too!

The deep silence of death and loneliness of the grave,
Both won’t let life speak a single word even!

What you all would do,
Just would cry for a moment and would stop,
When I won’t let even a trace of my memory too left after my death!

I shall not say much but just this that at times, people because of their selfishness, looking for just their own benefits hurt those who love and care for them the most without thinking about the pain that they are giving! It may not effect them but it may take away everything from that person who undergoes this pain. People give priority to what suits them the most, their career, study in abroad, leaving aside useless things( as what they call it) alike emotions thinking it nothing but an obstacle in the path of their goals, not knowing that it may happen that one may get all the world’s wealth in his life, may reach the pinnacle of his career, yet he can’t get a person by all this who would love him truly from his heart! But it seems , for some ,this doesn’t seem to be a huge price to pay to get what they truly want for themselves, may be that’s what “modern world” and its people truly are!

Aarti,

Thanks a bunch for coming and for the comment.

I can't mention that what's happening and by whom but yes, I am not in the right stage of my mind and I amnot sure when I am going to be normal. Sadness some how is finding roads of my city too joyful , hence not leaving it may be. Believe me that I want to be happy but its just not the time for being one I guess.

Once again, thanks for the comments and for stopping by here.

Cheers
Aman....

A Poetic MasterPiece By Faraz.....

-
I am a big fan of good poetry. I am not a poet myself  but where ever I do find anything good written, I try to collect and share it. Surely enough, my first preference would always be Punjabi poetry. But there is no such thing that I wont read from any where else. Whatever is good, I try to make sure that I don't miss it! There are some poets which have created history with their writings. Late Ahmed Faraz is among those handful which wrote timeless pieces from his pen. Saying anything about him would like showing torch to the sun. So without wasting any more time, I would like to share a poetic masterpiece from him which I read today only and instantly fell in love with it. This is in Hindi and I shall translate it English in a while. Please note, this does has lots of words from Urdu as well.I shall put the meanings of those words in the end of both Hindi and English versions. First, in Hindi, Dost ban kar bhi nahin saath nibhane wala, Wohi andaaz hai jaalim ka jamane...

Feelings Revealed Truly & Musically....

In music, out of the most pure forms of it, one is Qawalli . This is that form of music which is sung by the people who are not mere singers but devotees of God. This form of music was not a part of commercial music industry some time ago but due to its magic, its now very common to hear this in almost every where. Despite its used now in the commercial music industry, still the original form of it with minimum music instruments and claps of the singers while singing is the most popular one and remains untouchable. There are many singers who sing this form of music but some have made it a household name due to their singing. Late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan   is among those very few who singers who are known as the masters of this devine music form. Out of millions of Qawalli songs available, there are some which hit straight in the heart. There is one that I am listening from some time and thought to share with you all. This one was specially recommended to me by my friend Sumit who hi...

Shiv Kumar Batalvi, A Legend....

There are so many writers in this world and there is just an ocean of literature. But despite the fact that all the writers are good and the entire literature of the world is nice, I still love Punjabi literature and its writers the most. You may call it whatever you want but this is what I really love and it has reasons. And out of all, the foremost reason is that no culture is as rich in its wealth as Punjabi culture and I have yet to read some thing which is as romantic or as painful or as joyful as Punjabi writer's writing are. There is no disrespect to anyone else or any other language but this is what my choice is! There are a lot of writers but few only have power to become immortals with their work. Only some chosen ones have a power to write fire with their words. Out of those few, Shiv Kumar Batalvi  stands apart. It wont ever happen that anyone would be able to touch even the heights where he is with his writing. Its a pity that Shiv had to leave this world so early b...
