Its alright ma (I'm only crying)

Dear Mummy,

Today something happened! I was at the breakfast at this hotel, and at the menu spread I saw i saw something that looked familiar.. and I looked down for the name .. and it was Seera.

Ok, Seera.. the sweet dish, an unusual sweet dish to find on the menu of a hotel. I took two spoon of it walking to my table. and mummy, something unusual was happening.. I had moistness in my eyes, and when I sat and looked at my plate, that moistness as swelled into a thick layer of tear on my eyes that i could harly see the seera on my plate.

and, tears were rolling down my cheeks. Mummy, it was seera, that you cooked for us whenever I asked something different to be made, and you started making seera at home.

It was same seera mom that you took you long winding slow way of cooking, much to my annoyance. Same seera mummy that I took one and kept it aside on bed complainting it iwas too sweet for my taste, continuing with my office work...

Same seera, mummy that you cooked again, saying : lets have Seera...and i complaining that it was too sweet

and mummy .. tears and tears... falling on the plate. tears i didn't shed lying on the floor on the bedoom, like you're on the sleep

Tears i didn't shed, seeing you on your sleep, in your eternal sleep, and found you so beautiful..so beautiful i never saw you before. and i realized that i never had time to see you till the day you went to sleep telling me that that now you won't wake up to bother me again.

and tears and tears mummy.. .. i ate the seera you cooked and it was not sweet mummy.. did you make it for me,,,,?

and i ate that seera mom, with you left me many days back never to come back..

Mummy, with tears swelling and eating seera, i so much regret that i will never be able to see you and complain - that seera was sweet, that you watch TV so loud, that you're so slow while working, this is wrong and that is wrong..and this is wrong and that is wrong.

I missed you so much mom, never as much when you waited for me.....

its alright mom... I am just crying!!

Love.

A faiz gem explaining the futility of life of so many of us so succintly..
and a plain and simple language makes it easier for me and many other mortals like me to understand it without googling..

Woh Log Bohat Khush Qismat Th’ay,
Jo Ishaq Ko Kam Samujhtey Th’ay,
Ya Kam Say Aashiqi Kartey Th’ay,
Hum Jeetey Jee Masroof Ra’hay,
Kuch Ishq Kiya Kuch Kam Kiya,
Kam Ishaq Kay Aarey Aata Ra’ha,
Or Ishaq Say Kam Uljh’ta Ra’ha,
Ph’ir Aakh’er Tang Aaker Hum Nay,
Dono Ko Adhoora Cho’d Diya’.

Kya baat hai....

Faraz's best

Karoon na yaad magar kistrah bhulaoon ussay,
Ghazal bahana karoon aur gungunaoon ussay,

Wo khaar khaar hay shakh-e-gulab ki manind,
Main zakhm zakhm hon magar galay lagaoon ussay,

Yeah loog tazkaray kartay hain apnay logon k,
Main kaisay baat karon, Ab kahan say laoon ussay,

Magar wo zood-faramoosh zood-runj bhi hay,
K rooth jayay, Agur yaad kuch dilaoon ussay,

Jo humsafar sar-e-manzil bichar raha hay faraz,

Ajjab nahi hay, agur yaad bhi na aaon ussay…!

Can it get any better ?

Phir usi rehguzar par shaayad
hum kabhi mil sakein, magar shaayad

Jaan pehchaan se bhi kya hoga
phir bhi ai dost ghaur kar, shaayad

Muntazir jinke hum rahe unko
mil gaye aur hum-safar shaayad

Jo bhi bichhde hain kab mile hain “Faraz”

phir bhi tu intizaar kar shaayad
