172: SHIQURDU 18

 

106

तू जिंदगी को जी,

उसे समझने की कोशिश ना कर।

दिल खोल कर साँस ले,

अंदर ही अंदर घुटने की कोशिश न कर

 

 

107

आसमां में मत ढूंढ अपने सपनों को,

सपनों के लिए ज़मीं भी जरूरी है!

सब कुछ मिल जाए तो जीने का मज़ा ही क्या,

जीने के लिये एक कमी भी जरूरी है.!

 

 

108

इबादत में

अपनी जरूरतों का ज़िक्र

या

उसकी रहमतों का शुक्र

 

 

109

वक़्त लगता है

वक्त गुज़रने में

थोड़ा वक्त लग गया

वक़्त के साथ बदलने में

 

 

110

हक़ीक़त की भीड़ में  कुछ गुमशुदा सपनो की तलाश

जिंदगी की भीड़ में कुछ अपनो की तलाश

  • 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.

  • Seeing a policeman makes us nervous rather than feeling safe.

 

  • In competitive exams, a person writes a brilliant 1500 words essay about how dowry is a social evil and cracks the exam by impressing everyone. One year later his parents demand a dowry in crores, because he is become an officer.

 

  • We are obsessed with screen guards on their smartphones even though most come with scratch proof gorilla glass but never bother wearing a helmet while riding bikes.
