Remains with you
Give it back or keep it..
It's upto you.
A piece of you;
Which I have got,
Please take it back with you.
Shabnam Jul 2021
..enough to hear a sigh?
.. enough to stop someone cry..
..enough to bend without a 'why'
& enough to mend before we die?
Shabnam Jul 2019
A lush green garden that once bore an apple tree..
Long left by the gardner to the mercy of the winds;
Now stands barren and
delights in the apple tree.
Shabnam Jul 2019
Don't know when I will be me again?
Shabnam Sep 2019
Is so boring..
Try to be like life..
It's soooo unpredictable.
Why always set patterns?
Shabnam Nov 2020
Once we abolish our limiting beliefs, opinions, judgements, assumptions ..
& start connecting to our heart
We truly realize how blessed we are!
Shabnam Nov 2019
Can change..
Will change..
Only
If I allow change.
Coz there's nothing for man except for that which he strives.
Shabnam Oct 2020
I compete with myself to be a better version of me!
*Self improvement
Shabnam Mar 2020
I regret and apologise
try to make mends
and speak..
you don't listen to me
Alas! my bestie is angry with me
I wish I hadn't done what I did..
or even tried explaining why I did it..
I think you too might be missing me.
After all we are twin budies!☺
only a few hours since you stopped talking,  seem like many days.
Shabnam Jul 2019
Whatever you threw at me I have always tried to give my best..
Even in the trials and the tests.
I have put a really brave fight;
Now I need you to hug me tight.
I put up with your lemon rind
Is that all for me you could find?
Now give me a sweet lime or a peach
And keep it within my reach.
Won't be able to thank you enough
Now please stop being so rough.
Dear life..
Dear life.
Shabnam Jul 2019
Real flowers have real fragrance
Artificial ones only appear beautiful.
In this world of artificiality,
authenticity still holds it's value.
Shabnam Jan 2020
Is dil ka to bus itna hi fasana hai..
Jisne apna mana wahi apna hai
Baki sub begana hai.
Story of the heart..
Is only so much..
That the one who knows you as their own..
Is your own.
Others are nothing but strangers.
Shabnam Jun 2019
Dear, enchanting & sweet;
Real but not true.
Earnest & hopeful
Abode of passions
My mesmerising dream.
Shabnam Aug 2019
You have yours and I have mine..
If you're fine..
I'm also fine.
Some people would die for their ego
Shabnam Jun 2019
It made me smile for a while!
Shabnam Oct 2019
Always keep good hopes from your Loving Lord;
And trust the Gracious God;
Coz he does unto people as they expect of him.
Shabnam Jun 2019
Winds have brought the glad tidings of the first drop of rain;
For the showers of blessings we await..
For the rusky scent of the earth
For the rainbow in the sky
For the heavy downpour
& the water puddles
For the hot fritters with tea &
The season of love for you and me.
Shabnam Oct 2020
As long as sins are in sight
& remorse at height..
forgiveness is almost sure
But as arrogance creeps in &
Desires worshipped..
man slides down to the lowest of Low.
According to traditions a man who had murdered a100 men was also forgiven by God.
Shabnam Sep 2019
All my efforts to overcome your thoughts..
Trying to be rational and leash my feelings..
My struggle to overlook your name..
Your pretence of ignoring my being..
The consciousness of it's sin..
All futile.. All futile!
Shabnam May 2020
Sometimes it's really hard to know which time is the hardest time.
Shabnam Nov 2019
When an orange is squeezed
Only orange juice drips out;
When a cup of coffee is pushed..
Only coffee spills out;
It's only what's inside of us
That comes out!
Shabnam Jul 2019
A few sighs unheard
Some unspoken words
Subtle hints
growing passion
& compassion
Unnamed attachment
Silent expectations
Confused signals
& a bread crumb trail
Left just for me
Be or not to be?
Shabnam Jun 2019
Went on and on..
Wandering through the wonderful wonders..
One after the other
Till I came accross..
My wonderful wonderland.
Shabnam Jul 2019
Mujse ye zamana chahta hai;
Mera dill tod kar mujhe hasana chahta hai.
Jane kya baat jhalakti hai mere chehre se;
Ke har shakhs mujhe aazmana chahta hai.
I don't know what this world wants from me..
It wants me to laugh after breaking my heart
Don't know what my face looks like..
Everyone puts me to a trial.
Shabnam Feb 2020
We are so quick to judge
someone by language or attire;
so quick to pass comments based on  looks or colour..
I wish we were as quick in correcting our own faults, digging deeper.
Finding the true self..
knowing who we truly are.
Our purpose of being human or human beings!
Shabnam Aug 2019
Meri khwahison se mere naseeb tak..
Ye Muamla Mere Rab ka hai.
From my desires to my destiny..
Is a matter with my Lord.
Shabnam Aug 2020
Hamse pucho ke gazal mangti hai kitna lahoo..
Sub Sochte hain ye dhanda bade aaram ka hai.
Kiraye ka makan hai..
Koi zaatti ghar thoday hai..
Sabhi ka Lahoo hai shamil..
Kisi ke..............Hindustan thodai hai!
Late Rahat Indori sahab
Shabnam Dec 2019
In your heart;
Within the beats;
In your eyes;
Under your lashes,
within your dreams;
In your mind,
Within your thoughts
Let me stay in you forever!
Shabnam Oct 2020
"You" are the one & only one edition created by the one and only one God.
Unique
Shabnam Sep 2020
Will I have to fall in love to write again?
Strange 😄
Shabnam Jul 2019
I let you go..
When you wanted to.
What more could I do?
Shabnam Nov 2019
Of your free time before you get busy;
Of your belongings before you get poor;
Of your health before your sickness
Of your youth before you grow old &
Of your life before you die.
One of the wise quotes of our beloved prophet Muhammad (peace & blessings be upon him)
Shabnam Aug 2019
Someday..
I'll be able to convey...
Shabnam Nov 2020
Being mindful of your words and deeds..
and conscious of offending your own soul, increases you in piety, honour and wisdom;
Bringing you ever closer to your Lord.
Shabnam Oct 2021
Mahir na the jeene ke hunar me..
Phir bhi ji gaye hum to;
Aaya nahi kabhi manwana,
Honton ko si gaye hum to;
Mizaj saada tha apna..
Pani ki tarah
Log pi gaye humko.
I was not an expert in the art of living;
But I somehow managed to live,
never able to convince so I stitched my lips.
Due to my simplicity,
People took me for granted and drank me like water.
Shabnam Aug 2019
Sacchi Mohabbat hai zamaane me boht ***..
Mohabbat ki adakari boht hai.
Though true love is very rare in the world..
Show of love is abundant.
Shabnam Sep 2019
I have lost you forever!
But I know your prayers will always be with me..
Wish I could hear you just once more..
We'll meet each other some day for sure!
Shabnam Aug 2019
Unki muskurhat par hum hosh gawan baithe..
Jo hum hosh me aane ko the..
Wo phir muskura baithe ☺
Shabnam Jun 2019
Kisi ki wafa ko karobar na samjho..
Begarz ** kar kare jo yaad aisay yaar ko bekar na samjho..
Na kar sake jo inkaar use izhaar na samjho..
kisi ki khamoshi ko deewar na samjho..
Betakalluf hokar jo kare baat..
Aisay dost ko hoshiyar na samjho.
Don't take for granted!
Don't trade someone's faithfulness..
If someone remembers you selflessly,
Don't think them to be worthless;
If someone can't refuse, don't think it's a yes
Don't consider someone's silence to be a barrier;
Don't consider shrewd the friend who talks informally.
Shabnam Aug 2019
Some people are...
such a pain in the neck.
