Welcome gentle reader, to my secret retreat, leave your worries and
your cares at the entrance. Come remove your shoes and feel the
cool marble under you feet as you walk through the carved arches
of the courtyard. Rest for a while on this silken divan, relax on
the soft cushions, let your mind drift into serenity as you listen
to bird song mingling with the sounds of a shepherds flute that
wafts from yonder hill.Breathe in deeply of the delicate jasmine
scented zephyrs. Let the tinkling of the fountain soothe the
weariness away from within your soul. Listen to songs of tales of
hope and despair, love and longing, princes and fairies, of now
and long ago.
After you rest a while we can be acquainted; I came on this
earth two score and three years ago. My heart though, remains that
of a child finding innocence, beauty and wonder in everything. My
mind indeterminate in age, in its search for truth and wisdom. My
spirit ageless, free of me it soars beyond sight far to its
heavenly home tracing the paths of sages and sufis, rejecting all
the allures of this world.
Forgive me, I have been remiss, for I have not offered you any
refreshments, help yourself a fuzzy peach and let its juice run
down your chin as you bite into it's sweet flesh, quench your
thirst from the juice of the grape in tiny jade green cups, or
drink cool refreshing spring water from a silver tumbler with
fragrant rose petals floating in. When the time comes for you to
leave, I hope you leave rejuvenated and return soon.

Tarry a while, O Death, I cannot die
With all my blossoming hopes unharvested,
My joys ungarnered, all my songs unsung,
And all my tears unshed.

Sarojini Naidu

Some Urdu shers (couplets) of my dads



Muhabbat ke takkazon mein na aane di kami maine,
jahan dil ki khalish ubhri, tumhe aawaz di maine.





Apna Alam, Alam nahin Apni khushi khushi nahin
Yeh bhi hai koyi zindagi Yeh koyi zindagi nahin

Dekho toh jee rahain hain hum, samjho toh jee mein jee nahin,
suratein zindagi toh hain, maaniye zindagi nahin.

Unki talash mein unhey kho diya pakey baraha
Yaane woh yaad hain mujhe aur mujhe yaad bhi nahin

Unka gham ,unka tasavur, unki yaad, unka khayal;
hum ko jo kuch naseeb hain, unko naseeb bhi nahin.

a new sher by dad

Soyee Hu'ee thi seeney mein nazuk si zindagi
Tumne nigaah daltehi dil bana diya
