C-50 "THE GIFT OF PROPHECY"

THE SHEHZADA

Trust and betrayal.Never mistake one for the other.What you know is merely the cognizable,merely a pinhead.And still you commit the folly of believing you know.There is a difference and it cannot harm to know it!!

KUNWAR MAHENDAR,KHALIL AND FAROOQ SAHIB

It isn't in your power.Yet you happily infect yourselves with the temerity of possessing power,of thinking yourselves powerful.Power over what?Look up.There's much much more around than you know or even have the faculties for getting to know!!There are things you can tell,there are many more you cannot.

AKBAR AND HEERA

What appears so mysteriously permanent often is a passing blip.Like sunblock hour.Like that sudden darkening of everything.But it lifts.Even the entirely gobbled sun emerges and begins to shine again.

SO WHEREVER YOU ARE,BE PATIENT

WHAT IS,WON'T ALWAYS BE

THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY TENT

EVENTUALLY YOU SHALL BE FREE.

Bollywood wall...

Pani puri wagon on the table

Rose lassi in a lightbulb

From the pani puri wagon to the bulb-shaped drinking glasses , the establishment has taken great pains to stand out from the run-of-the mill restaurants.👏

Really one of a kind.👍🏼

Thank you for taking us there, Baisa. Oh, I see you had rose lassi, Lashy Sahiba.😳

Was it delicious?😉

Periyamma, will attempt your quiz after this. Hope it is an open book test and we are allowed to do reference to find the answers.😃

So cute-you got the faded font colours to denote the drenched parchments.👍🏼

Lashy Sahiba, you should win this hands down- it is tailor-made for you!😉

Oops! I spotted the last Baisa's name in your answer post.😳

Chellam, Jiya, Lashy Sahiba, Periyamma, Bindup, Anindita🤗

As I sit here and stare into nothingness,
I feel your warmth beside me,
Even if you're not here,
Even if you might not hear me
I feel your presence and it calms me down.
Your chest against mine,
My hands around your waist,
My lips on your lips,
And my heart intertwined with yours.
I am not allowed to meet you,
I am not allowed to greet you,
But in my mind I can create my own faith,
And my faith lies with you, my princess in distress.

I want to soothe you
Give you time to heal,
And make you smile

From the moment you wake till you fall sound asleep.
You're my everything, .
You're my dream,
It might be too late,

But will be sure to happen..

On the other hand, if I got any of it wrong, I'd consider it a disservice to my baisa readers...😊

Not remembering dates, names page numbers etc is different... not remembering 'Words of affirmation' from someone - a very important language of love for me - is something I will definitely not be happy about!

[Lashy you better not have got any of it wrong😡]

And after reading your heart touching words Mr. Khan also became sad and he recite this poem for our Khan Sahib...

Mere Hamdum Mere Dost by Faiz Ahmed Faiz...

Gar mujhey isska yakeen ho mere humdum, mere dost, gar mujhey isska yakeen ho

ke tere dil ki thakan...

(If I were sure about you my companion my friend, If I knew debilitation of your desolated heart)

Ke tere dil ki thakan, teri ankhoon ki udasi, tere seene ki jalan, meri diljooi, mere pyar se mit jaygi...

(Debilitation of your heart, melancholy of your eyes, agony of your soul, will rest with my care)

Gar mera harf-e-tasalli woh dava ho, jiss se

ji uthye phir se tera ujda hua be-noor diyar...

(If my redemptive words can rejuvenate your abandoned mind)

Teri paishani se dhul jaaye yeh tazleel ka daagh, teri beemar jawani ko shifa ho jaaye...

(If they can wash away the marks of humiliation, I pray, your dejected youth resuscitates)

Gar mujhey isska yakeen ho mere humdum mere dost, rooz-o-shab, shaam-o-sehar

main tujhe bhelata rahu...

(If I were sure about it my companion, my friend, I would comfort you each day and night)

Main tujhe geet sunata rahu halke sheereen, absharo ke, baharo ke, chaman_zaroon ke geet, amad-e-subh ke, mehtaab ke, sayyaro ke geet...

(And hum tales of sweet Ballads of dancing waterfalls, tinkling springs,and bloming gardens with ballads of unveiling morning, sun and planets.)

Tujh se main husn-o-mohabbat ki hikayaat kahu, jaisey maghroor haseenao ke barfaab se jism garm hatho ki hararat se pighal jaate hai...

(I would read to you, the mysteries of beauty and love, how icy blue souls of arrogant fairies melt with the warmth of beloved hands)

Jaise ik chehre ke thaihre hoy manoos naqoosh dekhtey dekhtey he badal jaate hai...

(How impressions of familiar faces change in a blink of moments)

Kis tarah aariz-e-mehboob ka shafaf baloor

yakbayak baada-e-ahmer se dekhak jata hai...

(How the pure crystal of beloved's instinct is aflame by red spirits)

Kaise gulchin ke liye jhukti hai khud jhukti hai shaaKh-e-gulaab, kis tarah raat ka aiwaan mehak jata hai...

(How limp of rose bends itself for Nightingale, how fragrance disperse in alienated nights)

Yunhi gata rahu, gata rahu, tere khatir

geet bunta rahu, baitha rahu tere Khatir...

(The pace of my song may never end

Lest I continue to sing for you)

Par mere geet tere dukh ka madava he nahi

naghma jarrah nahi, moonis-o-gum_khuwar sahi...

(I know my songs are not compensation for your grieves these ballads wont redeem you from sorrows)

Geet nashtar to nahi, marham-e-azar sahi

tere azar ka charaa nahi, nashtar ke siva..

(My Ballads are not lancet for your pain,but let them be ointment only flem is a solution to your agony)

Aur ye safaak maseeha mere qabze me he nahi ,iss jahan ke kisi zee-rooh ke qabze main nahi, haanmagar tere siva, tere siva, tere siva...

(That ferocious liberator is not in my reach not in reach of any soul in this locality but with yourself, yourself and yourself)
