Shumona Roy Biswas renders a ghazal by the legendary Majrooh Sultanpuri. The maqta here is as vast as a couplet can be:

زنجیر و دیوار ہی دیکھی تم نے تو مجروحؔ مگر ہم
کوچہ کوچہ دیکھ رہے ہیں عالم زنداں تم سے زیادہ

1/2

[Ubaid Bhutta @Ubaidaaen]

She then pivots back to the matla to conclude the performance:

ہم کو جنوں کیا سکھلاتے ہو ہم تھے پریشاں تم سے زیادہ
چاک کئے ہیں ہم نے عزیزو چار گریباں تم سے زیادہ

2/2

@pybercunk Ahahaha, unemployment is the key to this life!

I woke up and came straight to my study to revisit Faiz Sahab this morning. What could be more relevant to read today than صبح آزادی? Nothing.

​The book is quite interesting; a lesser-known edition of Nuskha Haye Wafa published in Dehli.

@ruminator2611 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Ubaid Bhutta @Ubaidaaen]

@mo1arsnteeth @chmpgnsoshalist Pardon me for that, hope this helps.

[Ubaid Bhutta @Ubaidaaen]

@DomIrigaray @chmpgnsoshalist Seriously i urge you to re-read, reinterpret the sources you're talking about.

@talhaahmad127 Subha subha uth kay ye dekhna par raha hay, ya khuda!!! Jappa meddi jind tu na alwaya kar south day baray ich please

[Ubaid Bhutta @Ubaidaaen]

@DomIrigaray @chmpgnsoshalist Name-dropping won't work. Stop embarrassing yourself and i request you to reread these to get a better picture of both.

[Ubaid Bhutta @Ubaidaaen]

@mo1arsnteeth @chmpgnsoshalist Are you dumb? 'Lack' isn't missing a physical object, stop treating it that way. 'What' is lacking isn't a physical object or biological need, it's 'being' itself.

[Ubaid Bhutta @Ubaidaaen]

@DomIrigaray @chmpgnsoshalist Stop embarrassing yourself

Real Sufism would produce cleaner streets than Japan, because it would see the street as God's path, the stranger as God's face, and the act of cleaning as dhikr of the hands.

@mo1arsnteeth @chmpgnsoshalist This isn't a meditation class. You’re flattening desire to the point of non-existence. Desire isn't some passing cognitive glitch to observe nor an inconvenience you disidentify from; it is the bedrock of the human self.

[Ubaid Bhutta @Ubaidaaen]

@mo1arsnteeth @chmpgnsoshalist Isn't this attempt to 'let go of desire' another desire? Seems like you're stuck in a loop.

Fried fish, topped with a generous amount of butter, washed down with a good mug of cold coffee. Followed by Baba Talib Hussain Dard singing 'Yaseen De Dohray'. Breakfast and playlist are both going wild today.
