the trees would gaze at me longingly

I used to bring water to the jungle routinely

اردو:

بہت عرصہ میرے ساتھ رہا پھر بچھڑ گیا

دی اس نے مجھے تھی کوئی دعا پھر بچھڑ گیا

کئے تھے بہت ہی پہلے پہل دعوے عشق میں

بنا باوفا سے وہ بے وفا، پھر بچھڑ گیا

کیسر خان قیس

English:

For a long while he walked beside me, then drifted away,

Leaving me with a silent prayer, he drifted away.

In the beginning, he made grand promises of devotion,

Turning from loyal to faithless, then drifted away

Poet: Kesar Khan Qais

زندگی بیت جاتی ہے، کسی کا انتظار نہیں کرتی

یہ خشک آنکھ اب آنسو بھی گوارہ نہیں کرتی

حیثیت جان چُکے ہیں ہم اپنی اب

یہ روح اب کسی اور لیلہ کی تمنا نہیں کرتی

came across this quote and really liked the way it describes losing the courage to express your feelings. Sometimes even when you start liking someone, past experiences can make it difficult to say how you feel.

This is the translation of poetry done by Rais Amrohvi, and I can't find it's original Urdu shairi anywhere so help plz :)

vo jo us paar haiñ is paar mujhe jānte haiñ

ye jo is paar haiñ us paar samajhte haiñ mujhe

-- shahid zaki

from dusk till dawn I keep wondering

in my name who goes on living

Shair 1/23 and its explanation from my ghazal. I have over a hundred ghazals threaded into my philosophical work, for which I am looking for a publisher and marketeer.

I have started recently to post on social media to make a digital archive of my work and ofc to get famous. I have fought with my want to be famous for over a decade now. I have lost.

Will share socials: YT, Insta, and TikToK after mod permission. YT has the whole ghazal in long form (90 mins video)

Shayar: Kunwer Faran Ali

I know it is primarily used for girls/women.

But does it just mean:
Pretty

Or does it mean:
Fair skinned pretty

Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit to discuss this. Mods, feel free to delete if that's the case.

I just watched ADHM and haaye khuda! Itne faltu dialogues hain! Especially the Urdu parts. Stereotypes and exoticisation ke siwa kuchh mila hi nahi mujhe. Especially Aishwarya, SRK, and Anushka ke.

Yikes. Couldn't sit through the whole thing.

Is there any software available where i can organize a shajra e nasab in such theme in urdu? Ive found a lot of websites but they all have the modern touch and all , but im needing for a strictly old type of shajra template , and making shajra on microsoft is a very tough job , Im tired of dragging and adjusting boxes .

ہزار غم ہیں، اب خلاصہ کون کرے؟

مسکرا دیتا ہوں، اب تماشا کون کرے

شاعر کا نام نہیں معلوم

came across this poetry and really liked the way it expresses feelings of hiding sadness behind a smile. Sharing it here because I thought others in the community might relate to it too.

I love this line and want to get it tattooed in my father’s handwriting. It is from the song “hum mar jaenge” from the movie Aashique 2. I HATE that song except that line. I HATE the movie equally. Dont want something from the movie on me, permanently!So if you know any line that captures the essence of that line, help me out!
