Mohsin Naqvi was one of the most celebrated voices of modern Urdu poetry. His poetry is deeply rooted in love, longing, separation, memories, and the emotional wounds that remain after someone becomes a part of your heart. His remarkable ability to turn intense emotions into simple yet unforgettable words is what makes his poetry timeless. «تم جب آؤ گے لپٹ جائیں گے ہم نے باہیں سنبھال رکھی ہیں ساری تصویر پھٹ گئی لیکن دو نگاہیں سنبھال رکھی ہیں حشر میں کام آئیں گی شاید چند آہیں سنبھال رکھی ہیں یار کی آخری نشانی ہیں بد دعائیں سنبھال رکھی ہیں زلف لہرائیں گے کچھ ہوائیں سنبھال رکھی ہیں ساری غزلوں میں ذکر ہے تیرا میرا کیوں جلائیں سنبھال رکھی ہیں دوسرا کوئی آ نہیں سکتا دل کی راہیں سنبھال رکھی ہیں اس کی پیشانی پر سجائیں گے کہکشائیں سنبھال رکھی ہیں آؤ لے جاؤ تیرے "محسن" نے سب وفائیں سنبھال رکھی ہیں» These verses portray a love that has survived distance, heartbreak, and the passage of time. The poet speaks as if everything connected to that person has been carefully preserved—their eyes, their memories, their pain, their presence, and even the love that was never returned. The beauty of the poem lies in the repeated idea of “سنبھال رکھی ہیں” — I have kept them safe. It suggests that even after everything has fallen apart, the lover has refused to let go of the memories. And perhaps that's what makes these verses so relatable even today. In an age where people move on quickly, delete conversations, remove pictures, and replace relationships, there are still people who quietly carry an old love within them. Sometimes, moving on doesn't mean forgetting. Sometimes, it simply means learning to live while keeping certain memories untouched. Because some people leave your life, but the love you had for them never completely leaves your heart. — Mohsin Naqvi ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ #unfrezzmyaccount #urdupoetry #mohsinnaqvipoetry #urdushayari #poetry - @ashkibaaty
