Searching For Nightingales

By SameerK
 

I wish poetry came to me,
Like dreams in an empty mind.
Crisp on snow-white screens,
and conjured up words of bronze,
what a palpable treat for the lonely soul!

But the memories I draw my verses from - are but mine.
I feel the same feelings still.
I seek for words,
Words that elude the hoarders of time.
While I remain cemented by this druery art.

Words with melodies are seldom whispered,
They sing like nightingales in the dark.
Perched in some distant corner of an empty mind,
Unconfined by any canvas.

you mean the self inflicted loopholes :P

re ami.....joa dhin goozur jaeyai.... she is as well as can be, i suppose is the best way to answer your question. Allah(swt) grant her Shifa...Ameen
 
Admirer481 (February 18 at 2:49pm)
Maybe they think it maybe easier to catch the loopholes while testing live :)

By the way how is your mum?
 
Chiragh-e-Raah (February 18 at 2:45pm)
yup i surely can :-) ....loll naseeb doesnt seem to believe in development or testing environments methinks :P
very true...either totally left/deserted or dramatically reduced their presence /curbed their interactions/participations etc
 
Admirer481 (February 18 at 2:27pm)
Can you still see my id? ...Yeah! ... Naseeb is testing everything live!

And most Naseebers deserted withe the arrival of New Naseeb version!
 
Chiragh-e-Raah (February 18 at 2:20pm)
Indeed Admirer..those were the good days...but sadly naseeb's so called progress stifled all that ..:-(
and btw anonymity hasnt come up as yet :s but then again it seems there is some code changes going on again(in live environment) as the whole site has been quite unstable today....even Interaction Alerts are being temperamental lolll :P
 
Admirer481 (February 18 at 2:15pm)
Seems Naseeb has reverted to anonymity again as its says "You will appear as anonymous" .. so just to let you know if you can't see my id .. its Admirer!
 
Admirer481 (February 18 at 2:12pm)
It reminds me of old Naseeb ... when there used to be good Journals like this one and on a variety of topics and people used to take part in constructive discussions and it used to be fun! ... but then what they way in Urdu ..

Don't leave the pen. According to a Sahih Hadith found in Ahmad and At-Tirmidhi, the pen was one of the first things to be created by Allah, if not the very first.
 
Chiragh-e-Raah (February 18 at 9:39am)
you are very welcome...and actually thanks goes to you, as your writing spurred me to pen, albeit briefly, again...
 
SameerK (February 18 at 8:54am)
Chiragh-e-Raah, very well written. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Admirer481
Thanks, Samurii
 
Admirer481 (February 18 at 5:02am)
Nice one!
 
Chiragh-e-Raah (February 18 at 4:03am)
nicely written

'heart and soul to pen
one never knows when
memories, fears or tears
like a burning rod sears
release or answers all seek
as at times life feels bleak

each word, phrase is a pearl
treasures past, present or those to come
thoughts meshed and woven strand by strand
different ways of reaching out our hand.........

(chiragh...)
