Indeed Quran as a whole is just beautiful, but my mind always get stuck on these ayaat, (reason being its beauty, each n every word, resides a whole world in it. Ayaat where ALLAH himself is describing who's ALLAH... ) *Goosebumps

When I was a child, I used to ponder how must be God, how must HE look like, who actually HE'S and stuff like that! On asking mama, she told me that ALLAH NOOR HAI ..then where is that light, NOOR, be Present?? Is it only above the heavens??

Or everywhere?? Wasn't able to make out that "Where"? Questions like these continuously kept on popping in my mind (you might too sometime have encountered questions like that) when in 2017 for the very first time (I admit) I went through the translation of SURAH E NOOR (though when I was 8 or 9 we started Quran with translation but wasn't able to complete it) 

And it was the SURAH that made my each and every query as clear as a crystal 

Translation: 

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things. (24:35)

Indeed HE'S the LIGHT, LIGHT UPON LIGHT, neither of East nor of West! But that WHERE remains as it..

And finally it was in the very next Ayah:

[Such niches are] in Houses which Allah has ordered to be raised and that His name be mentioned therein; exalting Him within them in the morning and the evenings (24:36)

Here many scholars translate this word بیوت (sing: بیت) as mosques! On consulting a dictionary the meaning of this word turns out to be "houses" (in urdu it's translated as مکانات) or any place where somebody can reside and you know when I read this ayah.. the first thing that came to my mind was HEART, yes! aren't these hearts? HEARTS that are lost in HIS remembrance all the time, whether it's day or night! Yes, HE resides in those hearts which are embraced with HIS love, with HIS zikr❤

''.absolutely not'' your national dignity has been preserved..

After 2 decades of military presence, US troops are packing their stuff from Afghanistan. They always had to.

In past, Pakistan played a very important role in pushing Taliban to sign agreement with US as result our generations witnessed the consequences. Since 1990s Pakistan has supported Taliban in attempt to push its regional security interests. Pakistan and Afghanistan shares a border of 2,670 kms. There are a thousand Afghan refugees across the border. Pakistan's past foreign policies always created security and image problems in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

 Now when withdrawing, US is looking forward to Pakistan for the same favors as past. Giving opportunities to Pakistan in reestablishing its international image by selling the soveriegnity over dollars. This country has already paid a very heavy price for the past policies. It's a clear NO to the US 

In recent interview to Australian anchor Pakistan's position was made clear by PM IK.

On his question regarding CIA bases across the border PM Khan made a strong and clear statement of ' absolutely not '. There's no way of providing any base or cross border military action from the territory of Pakistan. Anchor reconfirming his stance as ''seriouslyy'' is literally the WHOLE world's reaction now.

Anchor also questioned about CIA director's secret visit to Pakistan which was unofficial on the media. In reply PM confidently confirmed his visit. News were circulating on media about the visit and how pm rejected meeting him and DG isi met him on the issue.

Our enemies never miss any chance to give rise to the internal issues of Pakistan. Unfortunately, our nation gets trap and keep falling out. I don't get the reason of anchor asking questions about his recent statement on Pardah which was interpreted in a wrong way and as always getting potrayed a wrong way. This disgusting reaction of Pakistanis on internet is really disappointing how we are denying and arguing over liberalism and Islam.

Nobody ever expected this confident expression from Pakistan. No matter how much you oppose IK's political performance or personality, no matter how much our internal confllicts and problems are. Our image as a nation must be confident, world should value our presence. I'm proud to say that our representative was not reading scripted statements. 

After years of British slavery, our bodies were set free, physical freedom was a thousand times easier but mental freedom never was. Our minds as nation are still under rule. We are still not confident of our identity, culture, traditions and religion. 

قوموں کی زندگی میں عروج و زوال آتا ہے. اچھے برے وقت آتے ہیں. مگر غیرت مند قومیں کبھی اپنی عزت کا سودا نہیں کرتیں. اپنے انفرادی نظریات کے ساتھ قومی نظریات کو یاد رکھ کر زندگی گزاریں اپنی خودی کو مرنے نہ دی

_ the regret of not being courages enough to acknowledge One sided feelings .specifically they carry that extinct of un_acknowledgement. Just Considering someone part of us. without taking there side of story. what they really feel. Just entangled in them entirely. 

_ We just don't want them to know sometimes but hoping they feel it sometimes. always Walking extra efforts for them.

The only thing we expect to have them for moments under a sky full of Stars carrying them beside us. Seeking their approvals. Having walk to unknown place holding hands.

and all i wanted was.

_ A simple talk, Shyingly Staring down, holding her hand, Explaining what it feels to love her and evenly sometimes i become tired of loving her without getting something back. and i expect her to just putting her otherhand in my hand. just acknowledging. That's why she chosed me. because all she needed a hand to hold or a heart to understand.

but when in midnight i go under those stars that stare at me, me without her. i tell my self i will try forget her. i just sleep everyday with that in mind and forget the next day, to not remember her.

_ and any otherday I would see her somewhere. nodding to me formally and i will fall again for her. and the loop goes on.

پتا ہے جیسے چکی میں گندم ڈالیں یہ آٹا پیس دے گی

پتا ہے

جیسے چکی میں گندم ڈالیں یہ آٹا پیس دے گی

کانچ ڈالیں تو یہ کرچیاں بنا دے گی

پتھر ڈالیں یہ انہیں پیس دے گی

اسی طرح دماغ بھی ایک چکی ہے

 

اس میں مسلسل خوبصورت خیالات ڈالیں یہ آپ کو خوبصورت بنا دے گا

اس میں مسلسل اچھی باتیں ڈالیں یہ آپ کو کامیاب انسان میں ڈھال دے گا

اس میں محبت اور مثبت جذبوں کا بار بار اظہار ڈالیں

 یہ آپ کی زندگی کو سکون سے بھر دے گا

اس میں لمحہ لمحہ شکر ڈالیں یہ آپ کی زندگی اطمینان سے بھر دے گا

لیکن 

اگر آپ اس میں دن بھر غصہ، منافیقت ، ناشکری ، بےزاری دکھوں کے ذکر کا کچرا

 ڈالتے رہیں گے

 تو یہ بے چارا آپ کو سکون محبت، اطمینان،کیسے لوٹائے گا؟

‏سرمدی زندگی تو ہمیں ڈھونڈ لے

 ‏سرمدی زندگی 

تو ہمیں ڈھونڈ لے

ہم زمانوں کے پر شور بازار میں 

درد کی بھیڑ میں 

غم کی یلغار میں 

ایسے کهوئے گئے خود کو ملتے نہیں

ہم صحیفہ ترا 

آپ اپنے پتے پر جو لکھا تھا تو نے 

وہ مکتوب ہیں 

تیری پہلی تلاوت کو ترسے ہوئے 

بند مکتوب ہیں

یاد کر زندگی

زندگی...یاد کر !!۔

وقت پلٹ سکتا ہے

وقت پلٹ سکتا ہے۔

ایک نقطہ جسے نظم کیا جاسکتا ہے

تمہارا تل ہے

دل پہ

ایک نکتہ یہ بھی ہے

تمہاری ہنسی میں قید کی جاسکتی ہے

ساری اداسیاں 

تنہائیاں 

اکیلی شب پہ برسائے جاسکتے ہیں 

یادوں کے

کوڑے

کوڑےدان میں پھینکےجاسکتے ہیں

سارے شہر اور 

جایا جاسکتا ہے

تقسیم ہند سے پہلے کے ایک بلوچ گاوں میں

یاکسی سندھی ثقافتی ناچ میں جھوم سکتے ہیں

یا کسی کچے پنجابی گھر میں لسی پی سکتے ہیں 

یا رباب سن سکتے ہیں

کسی پشتون حجرے میں 

اس 

چہرے پہ

جو جھریاں ہیں

غائب ہوسکتی ہیں

کہف میں

اور نکل سکتے ہیں

ہم دوبارہ 

ایک جدید شہر میں

میں جب لوگ ہماری زندگی کی لسٹ میں

 جب لوگ ہماری زندگی کی لسٹ میں

 see first 

پہ ہوتے ہیں تو وہ اپنی قدر و قیمت کا اندازہ اس وقت کیوں نہیں لگا پاتے؟ 

ہر وہ انسان جسے یہ بتایا جائے کہ وہ اہم ہے وہ خود کو مزید اہم بنانے کے لیے اس فاصلے اور دوری کا انتخاب کیوں کرتا ہے 

ہر وہ انسان جو اپنی اہمیت دور رہ کر جتانا چاہتا ہے اسے خبر کریں کہ دروازہ بند ہوجائے تو دستک بے معنی ہوتی ہے، اندر جھانک کر اطمینان کر لیں وہاں روشنی تو ہے 

لیکن اس روشنی میں اب آپ کا کوئی حصہ نہیں ہے، اپنے دوستوں اور اپنے پیاروں کو پہچانیں اور اپنے حصے کی روشنی میں رہیں

 وہاں سے کنارہ مت کریں جہاں آپ چمکتے ہیں، ورنہ اس جگمگ ہجوم میں آپ بھی کہیں کھو جائیں گے

You can find me betweeen the lines of a poetic novel

You can find me betweeen the lines of a poetic novel, inside the beats that rebirthed an amazing symphony, along side a silent walk in a sacred place where the sun touches the sea, or high above over that cloud dancing among the stars,  within the steps of tango dancers, at the door of cozy places that warm the heart, yet you can also find me within the arms of hello or goodbye, the tears of joy or excessive pain, at the ears of deep conversations, the illogical stories of torn souls, you can find me at the lips of unsaid words and the looks of deep regret, where love can't be described and letting go is a myth, you can find me where art and emotions resides.

کبھی کبھار کچھ چیزوں کو صرف دیکھ لینا ہی کتنا کافی ہوتا ہے ناں جیسے

کبھی کبھار کچھ چیزوں کو صرف دیکھ لینا ہی کتنا کافی ہوتا ہے ناں جیسے 

کہ اس آسمان نے " ہمیں " فقط نگاہوں کے ذریعے اللہ سے کس قدر جوڑ رکھا ہے
