“I ain't a lover, but I want to love all your crazy imperfections,
I ain't a diver, but I want to dive into your deep warm emotions,
I ain't a reader, but I want to read messages send by your eyes,
I ain't a skylark, but I want to sing for your mesmerizing smile,
I ain't a gardener, but I want to plant seeds of ecstasy in your heart,
I ain't a writer, but I want to write about how special you're.”
Hareem Ch, Breaking a Pledge

“I’ll detach myself from the crowd if it hinders my growth,
I’ll fall from the tree that won’t let me grow.”
Hareem Ch, Hankering for Tranquility

“What's the worth of sadness in front of happiness?
Like a leaf that's blown away by the wind.
What's the worth of despair in front of hope?
Like a dirty stone that's thrown in a clean pond.
What's the worth of chaos in front of peace?
Like a flying kite that's string has been cut down.
What's the worth of disunion in front of the union?
Like a fish that's breathing but not in water.”
Hareem Ch, Hankering for Tranquility

“أن نتصور بأن الإنسان سيعاد خلقه، وبأن الروح سوف تبعث من جديد، فهذه الفكرة أربكت العقل البشري الذي انكب على دراسة الروح الإنسانية دون أن يخلص إلى نتيجة نهائية.
وأن نعتقد عكس ذلك: بأن الروح سوف تتبخر بعد الموت، فإن ذلك يقصد به تماماً: نهاية الشعور. وأن يكون الموت هو نهاية الشعور فهذا يعني، على وجه الدقة، اختزال كل التصورات القائمة على مبدأ الثواب والعقاب. فأن تتبخر الروح وتنتهي يعني أنها نجت من البعث والحساب.”
Nather Henafe Alali نذير حنافي العلي, قارئة الفنجان

“The story that you wanted to write will never be pen down that way,
The chapters of incidences will variate,
The entrance and exit of characters will alter,
The starting of pages might be different,
The ending of pages might be unclear,
The attractive introduction,
The charming ending,
Considering the facts in your mind,
Concluding with ideas in your heart,
The end product will be something else,
The same goes with your life,
This person is going to be my lover, friend, helper, and well-wisher, or in case some of you decide an enemy,
We’re breathing humans,
Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, and our souls, everything
works according to our moods, likes, dislikes, etc.,
There’s a problem with us,
There’s a fault in ourselves,
When we think that they’ll be there for us,
No, they wouldn’t be,
Why should they be?
They have a different story to live,
It’s not their duty to make your story happening,
So be delighted with your tale,
And enjoy whatever comes your way.”
Hareem Ch, Hankering for Tranquility
