Shaayari on those who are dear - Galib

 


Shaayari on those who are dear - Galib 






Hamein tho apnon ne hai loota

Gairon mein kahan dam thi

Doobi apni kashthi bhi waheen

Jahan paani kam thi…


हमें तो अपनों ने है लूटा 

ग़ैरों में कहाँ दम थी 

डूबी अपनी कश्ती भी वहीं 

जहाँ पानी कम थी।   - Ghalib 

 

I was plundered by all who were mine

Where did others have the guts to do the same

My ship also sank where

The water was not deep enough!




Only people who are closest to you can CHEAT you and backstab you! Strangers can't!!!

Only the person who you love the most has the power to hurt you! Those you give a damn can't hurt you!!!

This is the worst kind of pain and suffering! Work on it - it may take years to get over this pain. And yet, keep working on it, till it no longer has an impact on you! 


The one who cheated and backstabbed was never worth your love and trust! It doesn't reflect who you are! It reflects who they are!

You loving and trusting them reflects who you are - soul that couldn't see through manipulations, lies, cheating because you never did that yourself! 


We are what we read! If cheating is not part of my character, it is usually difficult to see that in the other.  

Remember, a thief can see ONLY  a thief even in a Buddha! But, a Buddha will see only a buddha even in the thief!!!

Remember this!

Work on getting back your peace of mind!

Take control of your thoughts and feelings!

You will come out of this as a more compassionate, understanding and strong person than ever before!!!


Lootna – to plunder, to exploit, leave one penniless

Gairon – not mine, others, stranger, outsider,

Apna – our own, kith and kin, dear person, ours,

Doobna – to sink

Kashthi – ship

Waheen – there

Paani – water

Jahan – where

Dam – dare, guts,
