Today was a typical toronto summer day, clouded dark skies vivid green foliage intersparsed with trees studded with light pink and red flowers and the wind blowing ur hair and everything else away. Rain came and went all day long, did not see most of it working in the confines of my pwa, but had all the evening free to wander around the city. This poem by faiz keeps on coming back to me–and what better place to put it all out than a blog?
Raat yun dil main teree khoee hooeee yaad ayee
Jaise veeranay main chupke se bahar aa jaye
Jaise sehraon main holay se chalay baad-e-naseem
Jaise beemar ko be wajha qarar aa jaye
Dil raheen-e-gham-e-jahan hai aaj
Har nafs tashna-e-faghaan hai aaj
Sakht veeran hai mehfil-e-hasti
Aye gham-e-dost tu kahan hai aaj
