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.

जिंदगी के सफर में कई लोग

मिलते और बिछड़ जाते हैं!

रह जाती है दिल में याद सिर्फ उनकी

जो दिल में गहरी छाप छोड़ जाते हैं

किसी को शोर में नींद नहीं आती

हमको तो खामोशियां सोने नहीं देती

ज़मीर ज़िंदा रख, कबीर ज़िंदा रख..

सुल्तान भी बन जाए तो, दिल में फ़क़ीर ज़िंदा रख..

आज एक ख्वाब ने

बडी नज़ाकत से पूछा

पूरा करोगे या टूट जाऊं

गलतियों से जुदा तु भी नीं, मै भी नहीं,

दोनो इंसान हैं,

ख़ुदा तु भी नहीं, मै भी नहीं!
