On Hearts

"Duniya dil samajhti hai jise, woh dil nahin,
Pehlu-e-insaan mein ek hungama-e-khaamosh hai."

~Allama Muhammad Iqbal

The heart is a funny thing. It has highs and lows; it loves and it hates; it cries, it jumps with joy and it burns with anger. It goes through changes of seasons quicker than the Earth does. 

Equal to the size of a fist, yet so big, the heart seems to be a being in its own self, with a mind of its own.

The Arabic word for heart, 'Qalb (قلب)', originally means something that turns-around, about, upside down; something that switches and flips. That is probably why the heart isn't, never was, and never will be a static entity.

  1. It's a funny thing isn't it, the heart. The seat of emotion and love and tears. Fall in love with your eyes, with your mouth, with your ear, your hands, your feet, your nose, and let the heart be broken and broken and broken again. Because your heart was made by One, and no matter how many times this world breaks it, only He can fix it for you.
