peace. oh yeah, if you're looking for the important [time worthy] summary of this blog post, then here it is -- "this post is a total waste of time -- but best of luck to my friends who are taking finals!"
anyway (for those of you who have time to waste), so one of my friends had this as an away message:
"Pyar huwa ikraar hua hai, pyar se phir kyoon darta hai dil? kehta hai dil, rasta mushkil, pyar ki hai kahaan manzil?"
being the honorary desi i am, and knowing a few urdu words, i tried to make some sense of this. pyar and dil were obvious ones that i already know. arabs will recognize mushkil as short for mushkila (problem), and manzil as home or place a person resides...
ikraar could come from taqreer, so basically as a statement or expression.
the first person i interviewed on this topic was our beloved mufti, sheikh "not-a-mufti" (those who know him, know him hehe, those who don't, well... i'm protecting the innocent :)).
and first i asked him about the meaning of ikraar and he said, "i believe it means 'to utter' or to say." -- he then asked me, "context?" -- and at that time, i didn't have the full away message (because my friend had come back from away mode) -- so i told him that it was gone and that i'd find out. and he said a very beautiful statement in the form of a mathematical expression:
P(away msg is mushy | contains 'ikraar') > .9
so anyway, i then proceeded to get the full away message. and i asked our beloved mufti for a translation and he said, "love happened and it has been said, then why is the heart scared of love? the heart says, the path is tough, where does the path of love lead to?"
trying to map it back to the original message, the only thing i was able to notice is that "phir" probably maps onto "fear," so i guess urdu got some influence from l337 h4x0r talk too (ph34r 7h3 31337 h4x0rs!)
yeah, i just wanted to post. nothing meaningful today, maybe tomorrow. peace out everyone.
Time’s up buddy.
Thats what you think.
I suggest you quit the act.
Who says im actin? Don’t you have to go and do something?
Yeah, I do. But you keep on wasting my time. You don’t let me get any work done.
Don’t blame your shit on me. Im only here spreadin the love. If you wanna spread hate you can do it elsewhere.
I still love you though.
not because you are anything special, just because i dont discriminate.
Thanks for spreadin the love. We appreciate it. I think all of us have had enough love for now.
I still have a lot more love to spread. I was only getting started.
Could there be a bigger idiot than you?
Yeah. Could be you.
So you admit it?
Admit what. I didn’t admit anything. I think you have had enough love. You should go now and come back next week for more love.
Everyone had had enough. Perhaps you should leave.
But don’t worry. You don’t have to come back next week.
yea you right. but i aint gotta leave either
Nida was right, you are a loser.
Loser.
I know you are but what am I?
Loser.
I guess you are right. I am a loser for falling into your trap. The only solution is to ignore you. Good luck with spreading the love.
awww youre gonna ignore me? but we were just getting to know each other.
i apologize, you ungrateful loser. please forgive me
i forgive you. can you find it in your heart to forgive me?
I’ll take that as a yes. Because if the larki doesn’t say no that means that she agrees. Using the same argument, Im glad that you forgive me.
thanks jawwad. I love you too.
