Someone asked me, “How are you so romantic? You must have been in love for long and hard. Isn’t it?”
I smiled and said, “No, but I have been loved a lot. And for long and hard.“
I wrote this one imagining how a couple would be feeling on the day of their marriage. I am imagining a lot these days about marriages. More posts coming in.
Go ahead. with this one

Uss roz jab uthega woh bistar se
Kadam takrayenge arsh se uske
Kabhi sochta tha main ke
Shikwa, Na koii gila kare
Fakat mere liye wo jiya kare
Mere jeene ki woh wajeh bane
Koii aisa shakhs bhi hua kare
Main rokun usay aur woh mujhe pyaar kare
Sach ho aaya haii sapna ye aaj mera
Ab chaahat nahi ke mujhe kuchh aur mile
Raat jo chaand dekha tha sitaaron ke darmiyaan
Utar aaya haii zameen pe wo paas mere
Deedaar mera pehla ho_iss shart pe
Hua hoga taiyyar_woh taiyyar hone ke liye
Sir jhuka ke woh bhi toh sochta hoga
Kya mere liye woh_issi tarah bekaraar hoga
Bass chand lamhon ke baad aansu chhalak aayenge
Aankhein hongi band aur wo paas mujhe paayenge
Mujhse guftagu kar ke woh bhi toh sharmaayenge
Phir palkein utha ke woh zara itraayenge
Jab uthega rukh se parda unke
Toh kahengi unki saheliyan unse
Aaj toh bade betaab honge aapke hone wale
Toh sharma ke kahengi wo aahista se
Ab toh sirf rasm baaqi haii
Wo meri kismat mein_Rab ki zubaani haii
Phir jab hoga saamna unka aaine se
Toh aaine se bhi raha na jaayega
Keh dega shaan se woh dil ki baat mere
Aaj toh be’maut marenge tujhpe marne wale
Note: Don’t ask me if I’m in love or if I’m heart-broken by the kind of words that I write; because sometimes I write about feelings I have never felt before.
And no, I’m not getting married.

Hello saiz, I wandered my way here and it’s nice to meet someone as enthusiastic about Urdu poetry as I am. You almost make me want to post the rest of my poetry which never made it to the blog. Looking forward to reading more of your work. Cheers.
PS, if you would like to read some of my weak attempts at shayeri, do head over to my blog sometime.

So, I think I should start this thing on my blog. And you’re welcome to submit your work through Email.
Drop me a mail at: ahmadsaiz@outlook.com
I’ll accept guest blog posts from now on In Sha Allah.
I hope you’re having a good time reading and writing poetries. 🙂
All the best. Sire.

When it’s time armours aren’t deceiving rather enlightening. 😛 maybe you need a little bit of dazzle and stardust to not miss the signs then 😀

😀 it doesn’t have to be Mac makeup stuff that can dazzle. Maybe she is a good Muslimah and her abaya is her dazzling shining armour 😀 saves time and does the trick lol

That’s very kind of you to say that Aniqa.
That made me smile-off my teeth. 😛
But, no. It’s not time yet.
I said, “I am about to.” Just the talks were on between families.
But, that did not work out eventually.
Allah knows best.
Please be around for more Urdu Poetry. See you.
