HAPPINESS - 131

Newness

The new city has brought new hopes,

The heart has found peace and tranquility.

 

A new dawn, a new light, hand in hand,

Rays of hope are spread everywhere.

 

Move forward with enthusiasm and full awareness,

The breezes have sung a joyful melody.

 

To welcome with great fervor,

The winds have brought their own vibrant colors.

 

To fulfill unfulfilled desires,

The freshness of dawn is pleasing to body and mind.

Resolution

A unique resolution, different from all others, is needed,

One that can be easily and completely fulfilled is also needed.

 

It should be lush and vibrant, steeped in intensity and affection,

Not like a stream, but a love as deep as the ocean is needed.

 

It won't take long to gather friends,

But someone to recite ghazals to adorn the gathering is also needed.

 

The philosophy of life is that the journey should be easy,

And a beautiful person, dearer than life itself, is also needed.

 

There's nothing new about embracing in solitude,

But the courage to hold hands in the midst of a crowd is also needed.

Magh

In the season of Magh, desires bloom like roses,

These roses will be cherished for a lifetime, like dreams.

 

The weather, the cold, and the foggy, pleasant air,

The sun's rays wrapped in mist, like veils.

 

The hazy morning of Magh looks very beautiful,

The valleys and gorges seem like mirages of coolness.

 

Every creation of the universe looks captivating,

Like enjoyable and delightful books to read.

 

Why did the scorching sun surround the city?

The companionship of the winter season is like a treasure trove of calculations.

In the grip of boundless and immeasurable love,

I want to test my patience by staying away for a couple of moments.

 

Listen to me. The heart is uncontrollable,

Yet today I still long for a face-to-face encounter.

Imagination

A sweet imagination arises in my thoughts,

It says, "Get up, fulfill your dreams!"

 

She didn't even look back once,

The one for whom my heart pines day and night.

 

The promise made hasn't been kept yet,

He boasts of his false desires.

 

How can one trust that wretched person,

Who repeatedly goes back on his word?

 

Trust in yourself, not in others,

Leave the one who thrives on pity and charity.

Dream

Have the courage to turn your dreams into reality,

Have the courage to roar for your rights,

Have the courage to leave where there is no respect.

 

Dream

Today the dream played a prank,

It befriended a stranger.

 

It was forbidden to go to the gathering,

So it went far away down a different street.

 

If speaking increased the distance,

It chose silence and quietness.

 

The journey of a lifetime continues,

And fate has also played its trick.

 

When it came to giving something,

The benevolent God acted arbitrarily.

Meeting

The promise of a meeting has become a reason to live,

This illusion has become the support of life.

 

These moments may not be here tomorrow, that's the truth of life,

He was alive yesterday, today he has become a star.

 

I trusted the unfaithful beloved again and again,

It was written in my fate, I became a fool again.

 

He was rewarded with great praise every day,

For the world, he suddenly became worthless.

 

Look, those who love are very generous,

Wherever they see beautiful beauty, they become single again.

7-1-2026 Unfaithful

The unfaithful one has shown loyalty with intense disloyalty.

They taught me not to fall in love at first sight.

 

The one who swore by love easily,

as a well-wisher, showed me the path of loneliness.

 

In the tavern, under the pretext of union, love lovingly

gave me poison in a cup of wine.

 

Look, those in love are very heartless and cruel,

they made me swear not to shed tears in separation.

 

They didn't let me live in peace, and now they won't let me die either,

as they left, they even exchanged tearful glances.

8-1-2026

 

In gatherings, in the adoration of beauty, ghazals overflow,

A ghazal descends when a star falls from the sky,

A ghazal emerges on the horizon of imagination.

 

Circumstances

When prayers become ineffective,

Life will become aimless.

 

Circumstances will also change,

and breath will become a companion.

 

Enjoy the pleasure of the meeting,

Let's talk, and the morning will arrive.

 

We only have four days to live, my friend,

Don't grieve, it will pass.

 

There's no need to think too much,

The journey will soon become easy.

Guide

If you are a guide, why don't you travel with me?

Why don't you become a life partner and live together?

 

Why do you repeatedly ask people for directions?

Why don't you use Google Maps today?

 

If you want to see the colorful world of aquatic life,

Why don't you descend into the ocean water?

 

You talk about all the latest news of the city,

But why don't you talk about love?

 

How long will you keep wandering from here to there?

Why don't you improve these chaotic circumstances?

The Veil

Let the veil remain on the face in the gathering,

Let there be no questions or answers.

 

Everyone sitting there is illiterate,

Now, let's not read the book.

 

No one can be forced,

If there is no willingness, let it be.

 

Very cultured people have gathered,

Drink something else, leave the wine.

 

Troubled by the continuous rain,

Remove the clouds, let the sun remain.

Vanishing Women

In the race to become equal to men,

In the struggle to achieve something and the hustle and bustle,

Women are vanishing from their homes and courtyards.

 

In the rush to build a career,

In the battle for their own status,

Women are vanishing from their homes and courtyards.

 

They keep running from morning till evening,

They are crushed in the office,

Women are vanishing from their homes and courtyards.

 

Lost in household responsibilities,

Worn out by the children's stubbornness,

Women are vanishing from their homes and courtyards.

 

No past, no shore, no support,

No one to hold them in the storm,

Women are vanishing from their homes and courtyards.

The Unfinished Story

The story remained incomplete, yet we still profess our love,

Even today, we love the unfaithful one-sidedly.

 

Lovers are naive, but beauty committed a folly,

Why did this mistake happen? We repeatedly fight with ourselves every day.

 

There was a time when we couldn't live a moment without seeing them,

Today, we just spend our time in loneliness, in their memories.

 

How do people maintain relationships with each other?

We board the boat of intoxicating encounters in our thoughts.

 

Maybe the one who left will return, just like that,

Even if the story remained incomplete, we fall in love again.

13-1-2026

Oppression and Tyranny I'm afraid of becoming a victim of cruelty and oppression.

It feels like a deadly poison that kills with all its might.

 

Brutality and bloodshed have become commonplace.

I'm afraid of my own people in my own city.

 

The thorny neighbors are cursing me day and night,

Making the rose bush seem deep and fearful.

 

There was youthful recklessness and stubbornness that we would reach the destination, but

Now that we've set out alone, the journey seems long.

 

To live life easily, a mother's lap,

And a father's house, the safest place in the world.

Life Turned into Poison

Life turned into poison by the grace of the unfaithful,

Life became paradise by the grace of the Creator.

 

Since they left after giving me pain and sorrow,

Life has become a tree of tears.

 

Without those who are the greatest well-wishers in the world,

Life has become homeless and without a home.

 

From childhood till today, I have been giving tests,

Life has become ineffective after drinking the poison.

 

I have kept myself busy in the intoxication of work,

Life has become a journey of intoxicating loneliness.
