SHIQURDU 10

  • Shiqurdu is a collection of thoughts. Although an odd sounding name, but felt appropriate for the collection.

 

  • These are simplified quotes in Hurdu (Hurdu being a mix of Hindi and Urdu akin to Hinglish i.e., hindi and english). Although in some cases the language has been simplified but attempt has been made to retain the thought and the poetic flavor.

 

  • These thoughts have been picked up from various publications. Credit goes to all the original writers who penned down these deep meaning messages.

चुप चाप मायूस से बैठे हैं मेरे सपने आज

लगता है हक़ीक़त ने कोई सबक सिखा दिया

 

62

लब अल्फ़ाज़ ढूँढते रह गये

और

आँखें पूरी ग़ज़ल कह गयीं

 

63

खुद के बारे में

न किसी पीर से पूछो

न किसी फकीर से पूछो

कुछ देर आंखें बंद कर

अपने जमीर से पूछो

 

64

तजुर्बा कहता है मोहब्बत से किनारा कर ले

दिल कहता है ये तजुर्बा दोबारा कर ले

 

65

पीछे मुड़ के देखा,

कुछ यादें बुला रही थी।

अब तक के सफर की,

सारी बातें बता रही थी

  1. Nice shayari.

    So how is retirement? I am sorry I am not much familiar with the military culture, having resigned from IMA. But thanks to Facebook et al I got in touch with 55NDA again. After retirement, do you folks still keep in contact with the services?

    The blog says you are pursuing a PhD on China. I have been discussing with people the possibility that Covid-19 resulted not from Bats or Pangolins or Labs, but from cannibalism in China.

    The theory is that when cannibalism in China gets into high gear, suppliers start digging corpses from graves. This results in pandemics such as Covid-19.

    Any thoughts?

  2. Tony Benn said “War represents nothing but failure of diplomacy”.
    And Dwight Eisenhower said “War settles nothing”. And an anonymous quote says “War doesn’t determine who is right, but it determines who is left”
    And our scriptures says “सत्यमेव जयते, अंत में धर्म की विजय निश्चित है”।
    रामायण और महाभारत दोनों यही संदेश देते है। मानवजाति उस अंत समय की प्रतीक्षा में है। कब आएगा वह समय?
    But Clausewitz said “War is inevitable”. He seems to be so close, but wars don’t settle anything. Then what settles Peace?

  3. Wow! Great stuff as always
