Gazes have stolen the tranquility from my heart,
Both harsh and calm, they are the window to my emotions.
Please don’t tie my soul’s heart anew;
Intoxicated glances painfully rob the peace of the entire being.
Oh Wular, conceal the allure of those gazes,
For the longing for joy remains ever present.
The depths of the mirror harbor untold mysteries,
Secrets confined within, never to be revealed.
Alas, the brilliance of those gazes brings remorse, oh remorse!
Your eyes are arrows—betraying and relentless.
— Shariq Lone
LIFE: A QUESTION MARK
Life presents various flavors; some are sweet, others sour.
Some moments pass in seconds, while others stretch over hours.
Time races ahead at a relentless pace;
Sometimes we lead the charge, at other times we follow the race.
It’s akin to a lengthy marathon,
Filled with significant challenges that we must confront.
Our preferences shift over time,
Occasionally aligned, sometimes out of touch.
Make decisions that remain steadfast,
Afterwards, regrets will be a thing of the past.
— Sahildeep Singh Raina
A New Day
Let us embrace the dawn of a new day,
Armed with strength, hope, and a touch of joy.
Regardless of what life throws our way,
Remember, you can soar; you possess wings.
Life is a tapestry of ups and downs,
You must take the initiative, you must evolve.
Mistakes signify that you are alive; those who sleep are lost to apathy.
Challenges will surely lead to brighter times,
Just as beautiful days arrive after long, weary nights.
— Zeenat Aman
Happiness in Contentment
In a world
Filled with greed and desires,
Truly content is the one
Whose aspirations are modest.
A small act speaks volumes,
More impactful than a wealth of knowledge.
An ocean brimming with salt
Cannot compare to a single drop of dew.
No gain comes without struggle;
Pain is simply the cost of pleasure.
Gold needs to be mined,
Just as pearls must dive deep in the sea.
