Unseen tears traced silent scars, 

Through broken whispers and quiet wars.

They brushed my throat, then slipped apart

Today, I found the stillness of heart.

(RAAST)

God and the devil have one thing in common:

 they both ask for " loyalty "

(RAAST)

Scars may fade, but the wounds' pain 

is forgotten only when one fulfills their destiny 

(RAAST)

 If your outward appearance

 doesn't align with your inner emotions, 

others may see you as a joke or simply insignificant۔

(RAAST)

People never perish from disappointment, they perish from the fatigue of hope

(RAAST)

Keep relationships that mirror the respect you give

(RAAST)

In love, there is usually one lover and the other beloved.

 With this dynamic, the relationship can flourish beautifully. 

An even greater dynamic is when two people fall in love

 and both become lovers of each other. 

However, if both also become beloveds,

 love might endure, but there’s no guarantee 

that the relationship will survive.

 The Love of a Madman

Mad I am, love’s tongue unknown,  

A heart’s deep ache, to me unshown.  

With shards of reason in my core,  

What beats within, I can’t explore.  

Your scorn, your cold disdainful art,  

What do I know of a breaking heart? 

 (RAAST)

This poetry is dedicated to a person whom society labels as "mad." Although he is unable to express or fully understand his emotions, he too has a heart that beats just like any other. Love, which is equal for all and knows no distinctions, touches him as well, leaving behind its mark in the form of pain. He cannot describe the depth of his suffering nor comprehend its boundaries, yet the pain of love remains within him as deeply as it does in anyone else’s heart.Even though he does not truly understand the meaning of rejection.  

The difference between the heart and the mind is simple:

The heart desires without reason,

While the mind always finds one.

The coldness of ages had seeped in his speech,  

A subtle hint only the wise could reach.  

In the night's dark veil, the letters were flame,  

For disgrace stood knocking, whispering his name.  

(RAAST)

Love is a conscious emotion of the heart,  

while devotion transcends both consciousness and the subconscious.  

It goes beyond physical existence;  

it is the bond between one soul and another.

(RAAST)

 No matter how wise, experienced,

or aged we become, love always

turns us into naive , clumsy and childish beings.

(RAAST)

Sometimes a person feels 

that if they could become the shadow of their beloved, 

they might gain the closeness and moments 

that offer the experience of pure happiness. 

But in the process of becoming a shadow,

 they erase themselves to such an extent

 that they turn into darkness beneath the lamp,

 where there is a feeling akin to death instead of life.

(RAAST)

Don’t be so anxious; sometimes,

 the purpose of your existence is found

 in a single fleeting moment 

that brings genuine meaning to someone else’s life.

(RAAST)

Happiness:

Happiness is a state connected to a person's inner feelings and the condition of the heart. Often, we think that wealth, fame, status, health, and other material things will provide us with happiness, but all these offer only limited joy. A person's true happiness lies in the things they cherish, even if those things seem impossible or forbidden.

If we don’t consider our desires as the true standard of happiness and set them aside, then the question arises: what is the nature of the happiness that remains? Is this leftover happiness sufficient for us, or is true happiness hidden in our own will and cherished things?

In a state of unrest, a person’s constant pursuit of happiness becomes a form of greed for happiness, or perhaps an intense sorrow that, somewhere deep in the mind, takes such a frightening form that, out of fear of it, we keep searching for happiness all the time.

Suppose that if feelings like happiness and sorrow didn’t exist, then human desires would also become meaningless, as these emotions are what motivate us to achieve something or stay engaged in its pursuit. A person feels motivated to attain something only when there is a sense of lack in their heart. Without happiness and sorrow, this feeling of lack would disappear, and perhaps the pursuit of life itself would become faint.

It seems that happiness and sorrow are essential elements of our life journey. These two emotions remind us of our humanity and give purpose and motivation to our lives.

Yet, the question remains: "What is true happiness?" Some people link happiness with spirituality, calling it the satisfaction of God's will. But for those who are unaware of or deny God's existence, what could be the meaning of happiness? Perhaps for them, happiness lies in things that, upon thought, bring a surge of joy, while other things, upon thought, bring sadness.

We have similarly divided  in our lives—some emotions bring us happiness, and some bring us sorrow. If this distinction were removed, perhaps everything would become happiness, or we could say that we would learn to find happiness in everything.

It could also be that happiness is not linked to a specific feeling or thing but rather to our perspective that gives rise to it. When we erase the boundaries between happiness and sorrow, then every state in life can become a part of happiness.

Happiness can have many meanings and dimensions, varying according to each person’s experiences and thoughts. In my view, happiness is that state when a person feels content with themselves, accepting their existence and the conditions of life. It is not a momentary joy or fleeting pleasure but an inner calm and state of satisfaction.

Sometimes this feeling comes from those around us, sometimes by achieving a specific goal, and sometimes in simple moments, like experiencing the beauty of nature. For some, it is a spiritual experience, while for others, it is in small life achievements.

Perhaps happiness is not the name of a single thing but an emotion we discover through various occasions and experiences in our lives, each becoming a part of happiness.

(RAAST)

but a lover who does not let even their beloved belittle their love

 is the best kind of lover.

(RAAST)

When a person experiences pain, they feel it completely, 

forgetting all other sensations around them. 

What is the weather like?  

How beautiful is the scenery?  

What time is it?  

Who is present nearby?  

The duration of this pain varies for each individual.

 In contrast, happiness is always accompanied by the fear of losing it in life.

(RAAST)

 My style’s title feels too old

for love’s a tale no longer told

And when the time for faith was nigh,

she said, ‘’I must go home, goodbye.’’

(RAAST)

(Rehab)

On the canvas of time, strokes refine,

Rehab's artistry, a design divine.

In the gallery of redemption's array,

Love's portrait emerges, vibrant and gay

(RAAST)
