Sharing two beautiful shayris from the internet:
1.
"Haaye, kahan se laun itna sabr,
tum thode se mil kyu nahi jaate?"

2.
"suna hai badi qadr hoti hai duniya se chale jaane ke baad,
so hum bhi nayaab honge rooh nikal jaane ke baad"

I wanted to share a clip which was supposedly shared a lot online some weeks ago, that featured an adorable little child face-to-face with her birth mother, who is seen holding the child and waiting in wonder, joy, and sheer love as her child is finally able to glimpse her face (with the aid of small eyeglasses).
The scene can be viewed at this clip: पहली बार साफ नजर आई मां बच्ची हुई भावुक,छोटी सी मासूम बच्ची का वीडियो वायरल
I also found another clip (with the same child) as well (although I am not sure if its AI or not): Heartwarming moment small baby clearly recognizes mother face after wearing glasses for first time
The reason I am posting about these clips in particular is that for some reason I kept on getting reminded of something else when I watched these clips, and first of all the lines of Surah Qaf from the holy Quran flashed before me, here they are:
"You were completely heedless of this day. We have removed the veil from your eyes, and your vision will now be sharp and strong"- Surah Qaf (Verse (50:22)
So, just as in the clips, the child is finally able to clearly see (and recognize) his earthly mother (albeit with the aid of an external veil- or eyeglasses), I was noticing the sheer similarity of that moment of being face-to-face with the Creator-God, the one whose love is equivalent to the love of seventy mothers, and how after death, on the day of judgment, the soul shall be face-to-face with the loving God and finally the veil will be lifted and eyesight made sharp (similar to the idea of putting something externally to sharpen the eyesight on earth vs. removing the earthly veil in hereafter that was clouding the eyesight of the human in the Dunya). Moreover, I was filled with awe and wondered that similar to the earthly mother who can be seen filled with immense joy at seeing her child see her own face clearly for the first time, wouldn't God who has far more love (Al-Wadud) than that, must be truly filled with love at seeing his own child whom he created. And perhaps, only then shall the human realize how he was caught up in the illusion of the Dunya and was neglecting the love of the only true one- the Loving God......
Sharing a very simple yet profound piece of poetry I came across, the poetry (with Urdu script and hindi words) are available here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DTIRReaiaoD/
I have also typed them in one place:
"zindagi agar khwaab hui to
maut agar lajawaab hui to
tumhe laga main khamosh hoon
khamoshi meri, awaaz hui to
main yahan sabse naraaz hoon,
zindagi mujhse naraaz hui to
vo bola mohabbat nahin tumse
main bola agar behisaab hui to
main samjha hoon ki tum aaye ho
yeh agar phir teri yaad hui to
vo bola, kitna hi likha hoga,
main bola agar poori kitab hui to
muskura raha hoon main tere saamne
yeh aankh agar tere baad royi to
tumhe ye faqat shayri lagi?
ye mere dil ki aag hui to?"

Sharing a very beautiful and melodic song from a Bollywood movie: Kitni Chahat Chupaye Baitha Hoon | Himmatvar (1996) | Dharmendra | Romantic Song
I particularly like the antara version cover sang here by some singer: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGr6nU_tZoO/
The profound lyrics from the antara of the song which I particularly like are as follows:
"चाँद तारो की सुहानी रातें
कैसी भूलूंगी वो मुलाकाते
कितनी दिलकश हैं कितनी प्यारी हैं
याद आती हैं तुम्हारी बातें
दिल की शामा जलाये बैठी हूँ
अब तो खुद पे भी इख्तियार नहीं
सारी दुनिया भुलाये बैठी हू
ये ना सोचो की मुझको प्यार नहीं
तुम जो आये हो मेरी दुनिया मैं
अब किसी का भी इंतेज़ार नहीं
जो लिखी हैं मेरे ख्यालो ने
खूबसूरत वो कहानी तुम हो
मैं भी सपने सजाये बैठी हू
ये ना कहना के बेकरार नहि
कितनी चाहत छुपाए बैठी हू
ये ना सोचो की मुझको प्यार नहीं"
And the corresponding English translation of above lines are:
(done from Google translate)
"Beautiful nights of moon and stars
How could I forget those meetings
How charming they are, how dear they are
I remember your talks
I am sitting here with the lamp of my heart burning
Now I don't even have control over myself
I have forgotten the whole world
Don't think that I don't love
Since you have come into my world
Now I wait for no one else
The ones my thoughts have written
You are that beautiful story
I too am sitting, adorning dreams
Don't say that I am not restless
How much love I am hiding
Don't think that I don't love"
