جدائی
الفراق اشد من الموت جدائی موت سے زیادہ سخت ہے
By Ayesha Akhtar
A COLLECTION OF FEELINGS & WORDS
The Essence
of My Life.
Where emotions find their words,
and every feeling becomes a poem.
For the words we feel,
but never quite say.
A ROSE. A PAGE. A FEELING.✧
THE ART OF FEELING DEEPLY — 01
وہ جو کہہ نہ سکے
some things live between the lines.EVERY FEELING HAS A PLACE
What is your heart holding today?
THE LITTLE ANTHOLOGY
Words to sit with.
Some words are read.
Others quietly become a part of you.

تمہاری آخری کال
تمہاری چیٹ مٹانے لگوں تو اُس میسج پر آ کر رک جاتی ہوں، جہاں تم نے لکھا تھا: ’’تم سے بات نہ ہو تو نیند نہیں آتی۔‘‘

A MOMENT TO PAUSE
یا اللہ ایسی ہدایت دے
جس کے بعد گمراہی نہ ہو۔Ya Allah, guide us with a guidance after which we never go astray.

THE HEART BEHIND THE WORDS
A little about Ayesha.
This is my little corner for poetry, emotions, thoughts and beautiful words. A place for the things that stay with us: love, the ache of missing someone, a quiet prayer, and the courage to begin again.
Here, Urdu, Roman Urdu and English sit side by side. However a feeling arrives, there is room for it.
If you’ve ever felt more than you could say,
you’re in the right place.
Take a little softness with you.
