Move on…

जब ख़ुद, ख़ुशी से, उम्मीदों की डोर छोड़ कर चलना सीख ले तू, ऐ जलील
जब दूसरों के ग़लतियों को, या कोताइयों को नज़रअंदाज़ कर लेना सीख ले तू ऐ जलील
यकीनन खुशहाल होगा, पुरसुकून होगी ज़िंदगी
ख़ुद की राह अकेले चलने से कोई रोक तब होगी नहीं कोई

एक वक़्त तक ही साथ देता है कोई किसी का
चाहे औलाद हो या अपना और कोई

हर किसी का मुक़द्दर उसका होता है, जुड़ा नहीं तुझसे कभी
मत सोच ज़्यादा, रुक नहीं अब और
वक़्त किसी के लिए ठहरता नही, वक़्त निकल जाए तो कोई और भी साथ देगा नहीं

A day in the life of the common man

If every waking day were to be spent in the worry for its passage
And in the worry of the day beyond, and so on and so forth

Where would that leave the time to enjoy the day as it passes?
Life beyond may possibly not see the rising sun of the day next

Worry, as hard as you may, shall not ensure
Either the rising sun of the day next or peace, if you survive today, in worry

Conundrum of Reality

On reflection, it seems that what comes to you unto others
Is nothing but your failure to heed to reality

Perception of oneself shall not be acquiescence of the other
People, as they live today, are caught in the conundrum of existence and of the thereafter (not hereafter)

Nothing shall fail the heart more than the mind’s perception
Thus, best it is, to leave the heart out of the matters of the mind’s follies

A strong mind is the cure for the mindless conundrums
Fate be the taker of the fall, heart however, suffers ‘em all

Mohamed Nawaz Haindaday – (2023) October (2)

कौन कहता है के ख़त्म होती हैं परेशानियाँ , शुकर करना ये है के क़ुवत है हम में कर गुज़र जाने की

और बढ़ने की हैं मुश्कीलात, हर नया मोड़ जब लेती है ज़िंदगी, क्यों ग़म लेता है तू ऐ जलील, तुझको तेरी परछाई बेहतर समझती है, काबिल तुझसे

मोहम्मद नवाज़ (जलील) Haindaday جلیل

And I keep my bag, light and packed, ready to move, on to the next destination

For life is to be lived, one moment at a time, one day at a time.

Tomorrow, if it comes, would be yet another day

Cherish(ed) Life

Life with its abundant beauty and mysteries

Goes by every day 

Leaving behind moments to cherish and to remember

Some sweet, some bitter, some harsh

But moments left behind as memories

To cherish life as it was lived

Irony of life

The realisation that what you thought was a sacrifice in life for the better good of others, was actually the biggest cruelty to your own self.

Memories flash by, as life comes to an end

What could probably be on the mind of the man

Whose soul is slowly easing out from his body

Fear of the unknown, happiness to meet the Creator

Or…memories of the life lived…

He who passes away would only know the moment

As he passes away from here to the hereafter
