I found my gf, love of my life cheating on me. I was a kid 19yo only at that time. I was devastated. Wanted to kill myself. I could see no purpose in my life,Started doing drugs and all kind of bad stuff. I thought i have lost everything in my life. Months passed and i thought. 1
I would just kill myself someday. One night i finished my worked around 3 o clock in winters and i hadn't eaten anything from past two days i went into a local takeaway joint and ordered a pizza. I had a habit of sharing my food with someone. I found a homeless guy sitting on.. 2
Footpath and i went to him, to offer him some food. He had bruises all over his arm and a swollen nose. I asked him what happened and he told me how in winters he saves money after begging and spends one night in some cheap motel every month so he can feel less cold and he had
Been saving money from 20 days and today a bunch of guys came and took all his money and injured him too. I went into a state of shock , anyways i helped him with whatever i could i got up and sat in my car. My mind was still stucked in what i just had experienced...3
I started driving and the ghazal that was next on playlist was Mujh Sai Pehli C Muhabbat Meray Mehboob Na Maang.

An Ginat Sadiun K Tareek Baheemana Talism
Raishm O Atlas O Kam Khwaab Main Bunwaye Huay
Jaa Baja Biktay Huay Kucha o Bazar Main Jism
Khaak Main Lithray Huay Khoon Main Naihlaye Huay
Laut Jaati Hai Udr Ko Bhee Nazar Kya Kijiye
Ab Bhee Dil Kash Hai Tera Husn Magar Kya Kijiye..5

I heard this part and then those life changing words touched my soul
Aur bhee dukh hain zamanay main muhabbat k siwa
Raahtain aur bhee hain wasal kee rahat k siwa
I stopped my car heard this part again and cried for good half an hour...6
Aur bhee dukh hain zamanay main muhabbat k siwa
Raahtain aur bhee hain wasal kee rahat k siwa
I stopped my car heard this part again and cried for good half an hour...6
All i could think of was that homeless man and how he wanted to spend a night in a motel in this freezing weather and what he got instead was beating and getting robbed off his money. This shair aur bhee dukh hain zamanay main aur raahtain aur bhee hain wasal kee rahat... 7
Kept banging in my head and i realized there's so much more to life. There are so many real problems. Life isn't all about love of one person. Its much more then that. That day onwards my life has been a journey. A journey of self discovery. ..8
I dont even know why i wrote this thread and wether i am being able to transcend my thoughts through it but this poem by faiz changed my life completely. I could see bitter harsh life and my problems became minimal. I started feeling more for others. That day i became empathetic.
