For all the lost souls, the vagabonds, and exiled, the outcasts, the abandoned and the forgotten...For all the weary who can never go back home, your pain is not forsaken. Peace be with you, oh tumultuous creatures of night. Your struggle and loneliness in this life will be remedied when you pass over to the other side of the mirror. May Godspeed your flight upon this journey home. Until you find your solace after all this bloodshed has ceased. Even until death, carry on like the crow of solitude. You are a strong bird that can not be shaken. You have wandered through the desert with wounded wings and broken claws. You have flown so far with feathers torn apart, and you shall not be broken again. For to lose all that is loved in this life is to gain all that shall be given in the realm of eternal sanctuary. Stand tall and do not cower, oh ye mighty warrior of the night. Fly high and alone into the night sky. For there you shall reclaim your victory. Far far away from all those who sought to destroy the purity of your heart. You shall soon feast upon the spoils of their desolations. In the final hours, after all this passes away shall you find your victory. With this sword and armor you shall keep the strength. The battle is not lost and the war has only just begun.

“Stationery”

The moon did not become the sun.
It just fell on the desert
in great sheets, reams
of silver handmade by you.
The night is your cottage industry now,
the day is your brisk emporium.
The world is full of paper.

Write to me.

— Agha Shahid Ali

“There is nothing wrong in it if it is taken in the right spirit. The craving for importance can be a positive motivation. If you improve your work performance or accelerate your productivity, you will get the appreciation and admiration of everyone. And praise is the most precious and prized possession which even saints can rarely deny.”

~ Dr Sanjay Kumar Sinha (author)

“Give respect if you want respect. Respect cannot be forced or snatched. It has to be earned with good behaviour. Hazrat Ali beautifully says, “I respect elders because they have prayed more and I respect youngers because they have sinned less.” If the world follows his wise advice, all distinctions of the rich and the poor, the high and the low will diminish. All will be the children of God and all will be equal. This will pave the way for a truly egalitarian society.”
