For the Love of Language !!!
According to a Bollywood actress Amisha Patel, “I feel French is very close to Urdu. Both languages are beautiful. Sadly, their beauty is lost in translation”.After receiving a comment from French blog visitor that Urdu belongs to Punjab, I told myself its time some of us should write down more regularly about this language and its initiators.“Urdu” is an Indo-Aryan language came into being somewhere...

Woh !!!
Aanchal kay sitare ginta,Bhuli bisree shab'on main guzarta,Tau,Kabhi hawa ki narmi se choota mujhko.Saahil ki rait per seepion main saaz sunta,Surma'ee chehre ki lakeeren parhta,Unko takta.Woh, woh tha,jo ufaq se phoot kar mere rag-o-peih main utarta.Written by Kulsoom Bano,September 29, 2:00 a...

6 December, 2006
It rained heavily then.Why it did not rain yesterday?Do you remember what I do? There are many things in bits & pieces which make a whole picture in front of me.The most strong memory are of my beautiful hands with which I committed the most horrible mistake of my life. I remember how I was thinking of severe steps and the longest time I took inside me to accede.Ahhh, I should have listened to...

Khayal Meri Zeest Main
Mere Khwab,Chamakte jhumkon, Jhilmilate aanchalon se le kar,Tere laaye gajron tak main jeete hain.Aye meri jaan,Main humara kal, apne aaj main samete hun.Main un rah-dariyon se guzarti hun,Jo humari khwab-gah ko jaati hain,Woh silwatein barabar karti hun,Jo humari karwaton se banti hain.Aye meri jan,Hum tere shaanon pay zindagi basar karte hain.Bahar mere aangan ki zeenat bani rehti hai,Khizan to...

Earthly god
Living in solitude for years,With my peace penaltyBefore I retire .Dust envelopes around my body,Spirit whirling around,Lost and with drawn.Losing my first elementWith in itself, graduallyNumbness taking over,With eyes closed for you to appear,Palms joined,For your summon to hear.I can feel him,Sitting beside, my wraithTired of worshipping you,My earthly god,“Time to release my wrecked soul”Written...

Worth-less
At the fastest pace, I ran away,To find a shelter,So, I could hide awayLooked back and found you,With your broken voice, finding me,A voice, with nothing for me,As it was I not thee.I reached out for you,Reached my only oasisThere I found around us,Those usual facesCan these fade away for a while?Freeze the moment,For all, but usCome with me,Let us go to a world,Where you and I can be one,Let the...

What if I won't be there?
Every night before I could fall on my bed and curl-up myself to sleep, she reminds me she is alive. When she reminds me of this, I feel so helpless and insecure. I have never imagined myself losing her at any point in time of my life. She is always there from scrutinizing my wardrobe to counting how much fruit I consume. It’s her who tells me I am eating 1 roti since the day I started eating,...
