i want to remember you because your memories are like my breath, as long as you will be remembered, my heart will keep beating otherwise, i won’t be able to live anymore.
do not allow me to forget you.
- Gabriel García Márquez
it means don’t give permission to forget you, i don’t want to forget you.
a poem by Jaun Elia:
ki kya sitam ab teri surat yaad karne par aati hai.
WHAT COULD BE A BIGGER PUNISHMENT THAN THIS IN LOVE?
मैं तुमसे मोहब्बत करता हूँ, मैं तुमसे हमेशा मोहब्बत करता रहूँगा।
मेरे हिस्से में चाँद भी आया तो ठुकरा दूँगा उसे, मैं हमेशा तुम्हें ही देखता रहूँगा।
तुम्हारी आँखें समंदर जितनी गहरी हैं तो क्या हुआ, मैं क़तरा बनकर उनमें समा जाऊँगा।
you are the daughter of the moon, descended from the heavens.
yet in meeting me now, you carry the fear of disgrace.
this is the punishment I have received for my own actions"
"now, that you have come to me, what have you really come as?
I admit, you are a figure shaped entirely of beauty.
in the garden of this world, you are the soul that adorns the garden.
you are the radiance of the sun, the freshness of paradise.
Sharmindagi hai hum ko bahut
hum mile tumhein
sharmindagi hai hum ko bahut
hum mile tumhein
tum sar-b-sar khushi the
magar hum mile tumhein
sharmindagi hai hum ko bahut
hum mile tumhein
tum ko jahaan-e-shauq-o-tamanna mein kya mila
hum bhi mile
to Durham-o-barham mile tumhein
Two great-souled people thus end up crippled and frustrated. If I can reach this message of pain to the closed doors of human hearts, I will have done enough.
