let it pass

Times have changed. We aren’t close anymore. It is almost like we never were. But we were. You know more about me than anybody I know. You know more about me than the people I am close to now. Simply because I am not as close to them as I was to you. I am scared to be as close to people, because now I know it can end. It can change. I didn’t know this before. I wished I still didn’t know. I wished I would have never found out.

But I did. It was the most painful experience of my life so far. It physically hurt. You were a part of me, and that part got removed. That hurts. I still hurts. Less than it did then, but still, it hurts. I don’t miss you. I miss us. I miss how we were together. I wonder if you do too.

And the worst thing is the wasted time. All the forgotten moments. The unfulfilled dreams. The regrets. All the missed chances. The best thing is however, that life was lived. There was pain and heartache, but it did not compare to all the love and joy. All the dancing. All the jumping around. The amazing people. The fulfilled dreams. The opportunities. The accomplishments. Life was lived. It was not perfect, but it was perfect enough. And the good news is, the best is yet to come.

Q.U. Shuhab use to say.. “let it pass”

Killing The Blues

Leaves were falling, just like embers,
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes.

Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.

Now I’m guilty of something…
I hope you never do
Because there is nothing
Any sadder than losing yourself in love.

And then you’ve ask me… just to leave you
To set out on my own
And get what I needed.
You want me to find what I’ve already had.

a song by  Alison Krauss and Robert Plant listen online at youtube

at time some melodies are just words of your own heart and mind , the same way as this song is for me specially the last lines, the music the composition matches so to what is in my heart and soul

مدینہ دور ہے

Madina Munawara

میں گھر کہ ایک کونے میں جھولی پہلاہے کھڑا ہوں، میں نے بڑی مشکل سے اپنے آنسو روک رکھے ہیں کہ کوئی دیکھ نہ لے . لکین لاوا کسی بھی وقت پھٹ سکتا ہے
میں ڈھاڑیں مار مار کر رونا چاہتا ہوں لکین مدینہ دور بوہت دور ہے

Prayer

Ya Allah grant me the same light as you did to all those great sufis, mystics  and your beloveds in previous times (explored)

The human being is ever carving for company in this seven colored world. O Lord ! where is a companion for the soul? Let this world descend from my sight, the way sun and moon descend beneath the horizon, let a day appear before me that does not belong to the passing time.

O Lord ! You are my beloved. Your face is my faith and my Quran. Let me see it, for the sun doesnt lose anything by giving out its rays. A passionate soul like mine is not to be found in this age when people are held back by reason. So light up the darkness of my heart with your light like a moon.

O Lord ! we yearn to see you but cannot see. Take away our blindness, speak to us and take us beyond the world of today and tomorrow! take us beyond the world of the moon and stars.

O Lord ! i am a mortal and my light is like a short lived spark before your everlasting illumination. Make me imortal and grant me the strength to tread upon the path that you have laid open before me.

Make my book easy for the youth to understand, for I am going to tell of another world. (Allama Iqbal, excerpt from Javiad Nama)

- what a beautiful piece of writing.

yes friends you guessed it right !! , i am going to start writing again :) the above lines gave me great source of inspiration to come back to what i used to do before, writing has always been a great way of experessing my inner self and illuminating the light of my soul :) thank you Dear Iqbal :) i wish to see my self as your Shaheen Inshallah :)
