us kī ik duniyā huuñ maiñ aur merī ik duniyā hai vo

dasht meñ tanhā huuñ maiñ aur shahr meñ tanhā hai vo

maiñ bhī kaisā aa.ina huuñ ā.ina-dar-ā.ina

duur tak chehrā-ba-chehrā bas nazar aatā hai vo

us kī ḳhush-bū se mahak kar phuul ban jaatā hai dil

mausam-e-gul kī tarah aatā hai vo jaatā hai vo

zindagī apnī musalsal chāhatoñ kā ik safar

is safar meñ bār-hā mil kar bichhaḌ jaatā hai vo

ḳhvāb kyā hai ik khañDar hai ye khañDar kitnā hasīñ

is khañDar meñ sair karne ke liye aatā hai vo

maiñ sarāpā aarzū huuñ ārzū-e-nā-tamām

mujh ko har manzil se aage kī ḳhabar detā hai vo

husn kyā hai ik ġhazal hai 'ashk' ik taaza ġhazal

jaam hai miinā hai vo sāġhar hai vo sahbā hai vo

us ki ek duniya hun main aur meri ek duniya hai wo

dasht mein tanha hun main aur shahr mein tanha hai wo

main bhi kaisa aaina hun aaina-dar-aina

dur tak chehra-ba-chehra bas nazar aata hai wo

us ki KHush-bu se mahak kar phul ban jata hai dil

mausam-e-gul ki tarah aata hai wo jata hai wo

zindagi apni musalsal chahaton ka ek safar

is safar mein bar-ha mil kar bichhaD jata hai wo

KHwab kya hai ek khanDar hai ye khanDar kitna hasin

is khanDar mein sair karne ke liye aata hai wo

main sarapa aarzu hun aarzu-e-na-tamam

mujh ko har manzil se aage ki KHabar deta hai wo

husn kya hai ek ghazal hai 'ashk' ek taza ghazal

jam hai mina hai wo saghar hai wo sahba hai wo

"Have you ever tried to stop her from doing something she wanted to do?""Haven't had much success at it," Ranger said.Morelli rocked on his heels. "One thing I've learned about Stephanie over the years, she's not good at taking orders.""Has authority issues," Ranger said."And if you piss her off, she'll get even.

I was proof. Loss taught you about yourself, burrowed in the dark parts of your soul and ate you from the inside out.”―— Hailey EdwardsQuotes of Scott McCloud“Art, as I see it, is any human activity which doesn’t grow out of either of our species’ two basic instincts: survival and reproduction.”―— Scott McCloudQuotes of Olivia Dade“Please tell me people who look like us can be loved.Please tell me people who look like us can be desired.Please tell me people who look like us can have happy endings.”―— Olivia DadeQuotes of Timothy Snyder“The president is a nationalist, which is not at all the same thing as a patriot. A nationalist encourages us to be our worst, and then tells us that we are the best. A nationalist, 'although endlessly brooding on power, victory, defeat, revenge,' wrote Orwell, tends to be 'uninterested in what happens in the real world.' Nationalism is relativist, since the only truth is the resentment we feel when we contemplate others. As the novelist Danilo Kiš put it, nationalism 'has no universal values, aesthetic or ethical.' A patriot, by contrast, wants the nation to live up to its ideals, which means asking us to be our best selves. A patriot must be concerned with the real world, which is the only place where his country can be loved and sustained. A patriot has universal values, standards by which he judges his nation, always wishing it well—and wishing that it would do better.”―— Timothy Snyder
