Muhaabat

Nice piece of poetry from Amjad Islam Amjad.


muhaabat ki tabyat mein yeh kasa bachpana
qudrat ne rakha hai
ke yeh jitni purani jitni bhi mazboot hojaye
isse taaeed- taza ki zarorat phir bhi rehti hai

yaqeen ki akhri haddon tuk dilon mein lehlahati ho
nigahon se tapakti ho, lahoo mein jagmagati hon!
hazaron tarah ke dilkush , haseen halay banati ho!
isse Izhar ke lufzon ki hajat phir bhi rehti hai...

zameen se asmaan tuk jis qader diskash nazaray hain
muhabaat ke kinaray hain, wafa ke istiaray hain
Humaray Hain...
Humaray wastay yeh chandani ratein sanwarteen hain
sunehra din nikalta hai
muhabaat jis tarf jaye, zamana sath chulta hai

kuch asee besakooni hai wafa ki sarzameenon mein
ke jo ahl-muhabbat ko sada be chain rakhtee hai
ke jasay phool mein khushboo, ke jsay hath mein para
ke jasay sham ka tara!
muhaabat kerney walon ki seher raton mein rehti hai
guman ke shakhchon mein ashyan banta hai ulfat ka
yeh ain wasl mein bhi hajr ke khadshon mein rehti hai
muhabat ki tabyat mein yeh kasa bachpana qudrat ne rakha hai!!!!


so what do you say ??

Have you lived ?

I got this from a fellow and left an impression on me, thought it might refresh you as well with something……..

Good old days.......

Go back in time....

Before the Internet, VCD and DVD. Before semi-automatics machine guns, joyriders and crack ....


Before SEGA or Super Nintendo or Video Games...
Way back....

I'm talking about Hide and seek (Chhupan Chhupaee) in the park or on streets. The corner shop, Butter Scotch Candy, Mitchells Milk Toffee, Jubilee, football with an old can, jumping in enormous puddles, building dams.


The smell of the sun and fresh cut grass. Mayfair bubble gum. A POLKA ice cream pop cone on a warm summer night,

Wait......Watching Weekday 5pm evening or Saturday Morning cartoons... short commercials, The Tom and Jerry, He-Man, Captain Caveman, Waltron, Walligator, Danger Mouse and Pink Panther.

Staying up late for Night Rider, Air Wolf or Power of Methew Star.

Watching nice Urdu Plays like Un Kahi, Tanhaiyaan, Sunehray Din, Aangan Tera.

When around the corner seemed far away, and going into down town or Liberty Market seemed like going somewhere.

A million mosquito bites, wasp and bee stings.

Sticky fingers.

Walking to school, no matter what the weather.

Running till you were out of breath. Ringing doorbells for no reason. The old ill-kept house down the street being haunted.

Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt. Jumping on the bed. Pillow fights. Climbing trees, building igloos Ice Lolies out of tiny amounts of snow.

Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for the giggles.

Being tired from playing...Remember that?

The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team. or your mom showing up at school to pick u up and kissing u infront of your friends.

Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.

I'm not finished just yet...

Remember when...

You knew everyone in your street - and so did your parents! It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.

You didn't sleep a wink on EiD Chaand Raat.

When 100 Rs. was decent pocket money.

When you'd get both a coke and a slims for 5 Rs.

When nearly everyone's mum was at home when the kids got there from School.

When dad was better than superman!

When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at real restaurant with your parents.

When being sent to the head's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home.

Basically, we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! And some of us are still afraid of them!!!

Didn't that feel good?

Just to go back and say, Yeah, I remember that!

Remember when....

Decisions were made by going "eeny- meeny-miney-mo."

"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.

Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly".

The worst thing you could catch from other person was germs, and the worst thing in your day was having to sit next to opposite sex.

Having a weapon in school, meant being caught with a catapult.

Nobody was prettier than your Mum.

Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better.

Taking drugs meant orange-flavoured chewable aspirin.

Ice cream was considered a basic food group.

Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true.

Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dare".

Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest protectors. When did life become SO complicated!!!

what happened to times when having rubbers and pencils made us feel rich?????

If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!

Odd ppl

Ajeeb log hain yar i am lost at finding out why ppl change their minds for no reason. Poora U turn yar.

You have them advocating one aspect with such force that it seems unreasonable, and then in the next hour they are doing the same for an entirly different aspect.

I have seen this happen very closly. VERY. aur ab meri hat chuki hai. Just because another person says one things which he himself is not sure about, should you change your mindset so abrubtly?? NO

What about the things which you were defending earlier on ? and moreover, all of a sudden the previous idea is not feasible at all.

Shooot yar. Shoot.

The entire group lands up at a no decision point and the energy spent previously goes down the drain.

And stupid me! knowing that this will happen yet again, i go on and give in my efforts to find a new feasable solution.

Aaaaggggghhhhhhh !!!!

Here we go....

I dont know if i should be taking this much tension but i dont know how things will turn out There is so much to do..... Help me Allah, give me the strength to withstand all the responsibilties and to make decisions that are good for me in this world and the life ahead.

Sem results.

Karachi Trip

I am off to fly on monday morning at 5. This has been an important trip as my marriage date has been finalized and there has also been a lot of discussion about staying in isb or coming to khi and i guess that isb will be my home for the next 2 years inshallah. Bhaijan added a lot of his experiences to help me make this dicission, i know that it will be a very learning experience for both of us. I had talked to her about it 2 3 months back and we were ready for this type of arrangement.

The thing which was the most helpful and at the same time annoying was my familly's viewpoint that i should be the one who should decide what has to be done and they will accept it. It was good to have their trust but the fear of being all alone in this was make me shake a bit. Never been through this you know :p

Tonight bhaijan is hosting a gettogether at the mini hall. Expecting to meet a lot of ppl.

I know my blog doesnt have the same spark as before but life has gone so hectic that i dont get the time to jot all the happenings which are happening at a far more freqency.

Oh yes, bhaijan gave me his 9210i communicator and am writing this on the very gadget. :)
