A warm Roman Urdu good night where the moon, blooming flowers, and the whole world seem to come alive just from your presence.

Chamkte chand ko neend ane lagi,
Aapki kushi se duniya jagmagane lagi,

Dekh ke aapko har kali gungunane lagi,
Ab to phenktay phekntay mujhe bhi neend ane lagi,

Goodnight

Din ki roshni main "RIZQ" talash karo

A short Roman Urdu wisdom piece reminding us to seek provision in daylight and turn toward its Giver in the quiet of the night.

Din ki roshni main "RIZQ" talash karo,
aur RAAT ki tariki main "USAY"
talash karo jo tumhain "RIZQ" deta hai.

A playful Hinglish morning update narrating nature waking up in wonderfully creative spelling, from chirping birds to a glowing peacock.

peacock is naching

all are kahing

Tum hi nehi jalatey mere dil ko

A dramatic Urdu verse gets hijacked by a college confession — you're not the only one setting hearts on fire around here.

Sitaron se agey jahan aur bhi hein,
Abhi mohabbat k imthan aur bhi hein,

Tum hi nehi jalatey mere dil ko,
College mein ladkiyan aur bhi hein.

Parrot bola pathan

A Pathan walks through town with a parrot on his shoulder; when asked what creature it is, the parrot speaks first.

tota(parrot) bola: "PATHAN"

Chand say pocha shandni ka raaz kia hay

The moon is asked why it glows so brightly, and its answer points quietly to one person whose presence lights everything up.

Humne Chaand se pooha
teri Chaandni ka raaz kya hai?
Chaand ne aapki taraf Ishara
kar ke kaha, Inhi say pucho jisay
dekh kar mein chamakta hoon

Love many things

A case for loving broadly — those who love deeply accomplish more, and anything done with love is done right.

Love many things,
for therein lies the true strength,
and whosoever loves much performs much,
and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

Kash koi "exam result" ka insurance kara deta

Exam insurance SMS: if results existed as an insurance policy, you'd pay the premium — pass is fine, but at least you'd get a claim on failure.

Kash koi "exam result" ka insurance kara deta,
Toh har exam ka pehle premium bharwa dete,
Pass hote toh thik hai,
Varna insurance claim karva lete...

Yeh sokha ander jata hay, aur gila bahir ata hay....

Ye Sookha Ander Jata Hai,
aur,Gila Bahir Ata Hai,
Phele Chota Hota Hai,
Phir Ye Mota Hota Hai,
Jab Ye Ander Rehta Hai,
To Ye Red Kar Deta Hai,
Thori Dair Helane Ke Bad Jab Esai Bahir Nekalo,
To Apne Kam Dikha Kar Ye,
Bejan Sa Bahir Ata Hai,
Kuch Aur Nahin Hai Ye,
Es Ko LIPTON TEA BAG ,Kahty Hain.

When you feel cold and warm at the same time

A spot-on description of those early unmistakable symptoms when you're rereading the same line ten times and one name has taken over your entire mind.

When you feel cold and warm at the same time,
when you read over the same line for the tenth time,
when your heart and thoughts somehow appear to rhyme,
and when a simple name conquers your whole mind,
then you are in deep trouble my friend... you are in what they call, "love".

Dosti karo college wali se, pyar karo office wali say

A joke about managing admirers across every setting — college, office, neighborhood, family — but the one at home always has the last word.

Dosti karo college wali se,
pyar karo office wali se,
programe karo pados wali se,
ankh ladao sali se,
love karo dilwali se,
aur mar khao ghar wali say:p.
