Letter to someone who has lost
hope.

To the one who has lost hope,
Do you remember the idiom you learnt in third
standard which says, "Every cloud has a silver
lining."
It was all about hope, hope that there is alwaysa
way to get out of a troublesome situation.
I know at times life is unfair but hope is the thing
which keeps us alive and gives purpose to our
life.

I request you not to lose hope at any cost. Hope
will bring light to all your darkness. Hope will
help you find light at the end of the tunnel.

Hope will let you find a bright and sunny day
after a dark and tiring night. Hope let you be
happy and try harder and harder to achieve your
goal. Hope will help you find purpose in your life
and to achieve it.

So please, never lose hope with resides inside
you.Hope is the fuel to our fire. So keep the hope
alive, And let the fire blaze inside you.

-Farhat Imteyaz

Get Up And Get Started

Stand up warrior,
Don't sit there,
Bowing down your head,
It doesn't suits you.
I know, you have been through a lot,
And things have gone wrong,
But this is not where you
were meant to stop.
You have to keep moving,
Because you have to,
achieve your goals.
Your dreams are waiting for you,
Get up and get started,
You can do it.
And you know,
No one can stop you ,
That's the secret of your strength.
So, just get up and get started.
-Farhat Imteyaz

Courage

When I'm alone
The past haunts
Fills the mind with taunts.
So that I may moan.

Tears swell as I groan
Of mistakes known
Or misguided repent
I silently lament.

I try not to vent
And live in the present
But heart discontent
Fails to relent.

Returns to the lanes past.
Making suffering vast.
Fighting ugly blunders
With courageous wonder.

To be courageous is
Be resolute.
For its fear that brews
And notions confute

Risking things to defend
Doing task unstoppable
Only to transcend
To tasks laudable.

Notes of hope | Farhat Imteyaz

Dear Words,
I had abandoned you years back, when I had no
hope to write . In my lonliness I pushed away
even my pen and dairy. Days passed to weeks and
weeks to years. From a newly married bride , I
was transformed to a mother of three. From
butterfly ,I went to being in a cocoon. Reverse
osmosis has hardly worked well. But the cocoon
was my space for two decades or maybe
more..All I know is I lost time. Now when I could
no longer take it, I yearned for my long lost
friend, my pen. I found it in a dusty webbed
corner, lying, awaiting for me. I reached it and it
was alive. We bonded back again as if it was just
yesterday we last met .I knew now was the time
to pen down all my enclosed thoughts, my pains,
my happiness, my words of revenge, and open the
doors of my chrysalis and walk down the
moulded road, long forgotten, but not gone.
Each letter I wrote, my mind opened up to every
colour. My heart started fluttering at the new
beginning. Every letter, showed me,what I had
with held. My wings, ohh so cramped, slowly
with each passing letter started to paint
themselves with colours renewed. Finally my
wings, fully furnished with the hues of my past
pain, and adorned by my love for you are ready
and strong to fly and face back the world unseen.
Today maybe the end of our beautiful sorjourn
together but I assure you it is the beginning of a
new tarriance. I will not stop.
Yours loving butterfly.

Notes of hope | Farhat Imteyaz

To go or not to go.

In the world full of -
"She was brief and you are my eternal."
I found,
Everything is temporary,
And the permanents are the greatest back-
stabbers
Stabbing you more than what you thought were
interim
Making you bewildered constantly between the
two
Far beyond this chaos of- "To-Go Or Not-To-Go
person"
I found, there is a life.
A life where you are your right as well as wrong,
Where you are your interim Or eternal,
Where you are your only person,
And where you are certainly alone but not
lonely.

Intrepid Mum

A little girl was there
Who wasn't even able to tie her hair.
As she turned 14,
She came to acknowledge a different scene
Now she was someone's daughter in law
And was living her life in his paw.
Her inner soul was almost died,
But her life turned when the little one cried .
Again a girl was born,
And she left all torn,
She didn't want her girl to be a disgrace,
So she took her away from her birthplace,
In a different city within a good society,
Her daughter led a life of sobriety.
Her girl always wanted to make her MUM
merry,
Who lived a life that was so scary,
With her hard work she chased her dream,
And made her Mum's eyes in triumph gleam.

She gave her MUM a life,
That she never had being her father's wife.

Visibility and invisibility!!

Never long only to be optimistic!
That the intoxication of positivity,
May mar the sublime Reality!!
Never long only to be pessimistic!
That you neglect,
To view the door of opportunity!
and reap only negativity!!
......
Be then, realistically optimistic!!
That with your eyes,
decked with vision and sight!
You may see, the Reality
With its invisibility of visibility!!!
And visibility of invisibility!!!
With all its Clarity!!!

Taking each passing day..
as the road map..
Want to be like a tree...
full of sap!!

Notes of hope | Farhat Imteyaz

Hurdles being part of life,
Crossing them is art of life.
You'll face many obstacles,
You may stumble down,
but don't forget to prevail upon.
Rise again being stronger, not weaker.
Don't let the hurdles break you,
Let them make you.
They came to teach you
how to rise again, how to stay firm,
even in the darkest and toughest situation,
don't let yourself break.
For you to be powerful,
Difficulties need to be entailed.
Sure, it may be awful,
Provoking you to quit;
But honey, you need to stay resolute,
facing every mishap
and solving every puzzle.
Sooner or later, You'll win,
and that day my darling,
All the struggle you did
will be worth it.

20

Notes of hope | Farhat Imteyaz
Hope – hard to keep, easy to lose. The nights and
days makes it exhausting to stay hopeful. We tend
to lose faith– in ourselves and in god, since the
mishaps of life makes it awful to stay resolute.
But, one of the tiresome things to triumph is
Hope.
Life may not be according to your wish, but it is
according to the creator of world. And trust me,
God has better plans for you than you have for
yourself. So honey, stay firm and calm, and trust
the process. Stick to your plan while trusting
God's. Plant your efforts and let the tree grow as
planned by the universe and its power. Keep your
hope alive.

Reclaiming Hope

People wanted me to be broken,
To lose all of my hope and motivation.
I have been watching life from the side lines,
Wanted to escape from everything.
Thought I am here to help others,
But thats just an excuse to shy away from my
life.
Scars from the past made me lose my path,
It weakened my strength to move on.
Learning from the wisdom of age,
All I want is to survive and overcome my fears.
Its time to wash away my tears from past,
Fulfilling my purpose of living life as it is.
I am hiding right now from everything,
Because even the sun is hiding before it rises.
I will rise above too like the sun,
Spreading my light and conquering the world.

ISLAND OF HOPE

Though you can't reach the shore now,
Soon the winds will help to sail your scow.
As you reach the island of hope,
Slowly you will learn to cope.
There will be storms in your life,
It'll pass away relieving your strife.
Just when you feel like you're done,
To spread light there will come the sun.
When your life gets so dark,
Wait my friend, for the spark.
Everything will become crystal clear,
And your problems won't seem near.
God will guide you through your pain,
Your endeavours will never go in vain.
There'll be obstacles in your lane,
Keep hoping and it'll keep you sane.

A person with a great sense of humour, amazing
friend , optimistic who loves to talk and write.
The best thing about him is his wanderlust
(always on travel mode).

25

Notes of hope | Farhat Imteyaz

We knot our heart tightly, chose our path blindly
and start walking on. We are living in boundaries
and limits of our own thoughts. We will not be
able to fly because our wings were wounded, torn
or cut down by our own society. We are talented
and maybe somehow somewhere we know that.
But we can’t explore ourself because of chicken
heartedness, narrow-mindedness or old disbeliefs
of our society.
Why can't we break our boundaries?
Why can’t we live our life with utmost happiness,
in a unique way?
Why can't we fly freely without thinking about
our society and being independent? Why can’t we
live in harmony?

26

Notes of hope | Farhat Imteyaz
There are more than 6 thousand
books on amazon to know about
yourself and your life purpose.
I agree Examine life is not worth
living but if you are examining
you are not living too.
And
Things not go according to plan
so its okay to not have one,
don’t fake it, be yourself and just go with flow.

I will fly too
I will fly higher than the clouds.
Brighter than the stars
And stronger than the moon
Don't break me I am glass, you will get hurt
Don't glare at me I am gold!
You eyes will be blinded.
I have an iron will.
I have the determination of a God
And the body of a angel.

29

Notes of hope | Farhat Imteyaz
Have you ever wondered
why a deer runs so fast
when a tiger chases it?
Because it needs to save its
dear life?
No. It's fighting against fate
and prove that it will win against fate.
Running away is not always a cowardly act.
Sometimes its courageous act against fate
and the will of God!
So its okay to runaway sometimes.

Fate

The waves of joy spread around; theagony of not
begetting a ‘Son’, A mother rejoicing her
motherhood; the other planning an abortion,
She was worshipped as the Goddess; the other
was baptized as a bad omen,
She was their pride; the other was made a minor
bride,
She had dreams; the other only heard her parents
scream
They withstood by all her hurdles; the other never
had parent’s cuddles
Her beauty was admired; early age pregnancy
made the other looked pale & tired,
Her achievements were celebrated; the other
rebuked and subjected to gross hatred,
She had the confidence to face the world; the
other was subdued by the world,
She rejoiced a happy life while other was made to
believe that her birth was futile,
Oh! Dear father
I wish before you did this blunder
You should have realized, your chromosomes
determined my gender,
Do we share the same blood and genes I wonder?
When you got me married even before eighteen;
I wish you understood that I was just a teen,
How could you still wish me to be sane?

32

Notes of hope | Farhat Imteyaz

Am I destined to bear and share pain?
Now, I won’t let anyone else decide
Stop smirking and staring at me
I will wear my identity with pride
I am determined to fight for my rights.

Dear Girls
Your mothers didn't raise you to be beggars of
happiness,seeking approvals every now & then.
Retrace,reflect,you'll find it all within.
You weren't sent on earth to please or appease but
to make every moments yours & seize.
Be confident & carry all your flaws with pride,
sucess will come to your side.
Strive to learn, you may fail or excel
But, take those lessons of life,soar high & rise!
Break those barriers and notions of Beauty
Carve for wisdom & inculcate generosity.
Be unapologetically You
Someone who's upfront & true
Don't get fascinated by those false hopes
Remember,those are barricading ropes
You have to earn what you desire
Don't settle for less, even when you get tired!
You have to read,lead & pen history
Engraving the tales of your victory.
Against all prejudices & stereotypes
Your struggles & strides
In becoming the Woman of Substance, the
incredible Star!

KEEP UP THE GRATITUDE

When you are sad, look around,
And remember all you have found.
Each having a unique place,
In your heart’s palace.
Remember the incidents you shared with them,
The fun you did, and the moments that were gem.
Love and friendship that you share,
Or whatever that is in your heart’s snare.
So don’t be sad,
Remember all the incidents you had.
There will be a smile on your face,
Keeping up the Lord’s grace.

ROPE OF HOPE

From the time the humankind has evolved,
among various virtues, “Hope” has always been a
source of light in the darkness. We have always
heard “Don’t lose hope, everything will be good”.
Whenever we incur any problem or are stuck in
difficult situation, we feel we have reached a
“dead-end” or a “deadlock condition”. But still
somewhere deep in our heart, we know that the
situation will be solved and what looks difficult
today, will seem very easy tomorrow. This voice
of our conscious is what is “Hope”.
The Covid-19 pandemic, being the worst of all
times, has not been able to break us. Why?
Because of the “Rope of Hope” that we all are
holding. This rope has not only brought us
together but has also instilled us to believe that
today is the darkest of night but tomorrow will be
the brightest of the sun. This rope has encouraged
us to believe in each other and light the lamp of
hope within each other. The whole mankind has
tied itself with this rope of hope to beat down the
worst devil of Covid-19.
Thus, if Rope of Hope can unite the whole
mankind then why can’t we build our inner-self
so strong using this Rope in the most difficult
phase of our lives. We should not be afraid of
problems nor we should blame God or others for
difficult situations. With the light of hope in our
hearts, we should believe in “Try Me!!” instead
of “Why Me?”

Broken pieces form a new YOU

Broken pieces all around
Tired of healing every wound,
She saw herself falling apart
Crying and grieving in the dark.

Failure; Regrets; Heartbroken; betrayed
These were the traits, her life portrayed,
No hope for living, no reason to survive
Sat numb, thinking nothing left to revive.

Windows opened, entered a ray of light
Saw her broken, decided to enlight and said
When life seems drifting apart,
You must not give up on yourself,
Try holding it on till the last,
Shuffle your broken pieces
Rearrange it and make something beautiful, out
of blue
Your broken pieces will form a new you,
Just self belief is required
To cure every wound and scar,
And you will shine more brighter, than you ever
knew.

Hold on; Stand up and fix yourself,
Gave her a beam of hope and left,
Now strong she stand to compose her fate
Led her step forward on a way to recreate.

38

Notes of hope | Farhat Imteyaz

It's okay to feel too much or
nothing at all.

It's okay, if you are at a point of life, where you
feel too much about anything, or doesn't feel
anything. May be you have been suffering from
pain for so long that you are tired of everything,
you don't want to try, don't want to put any effort,
all you want is sit hopelessly and cry, and at
times, you feel like everything around is meant to
hurt you. Going through all these, feels so
terrible, having emotionless days, and sleepless
nights, where you just stare at the ceiling and get
upset about everything, you just feel everyone
around you is perfect and you are just useless and
a burden for everyone.

But listen, if you are going through all this, then
it's okay, there is no problem in feeling all these
killing emotions. We are humans, we are meant
to feel this way, we are not perfect robots, we are
flawed humans. It's okay, this is just a temporary
phase, which will surely pass, and you will
survive through it. Just don't lose hope, keep
reminding your heart, this shall too pass, and face
it all with a smile. Relax and have patience. You
are a warrior, remember that.

Srinidhi Krishnaswamy

To carve a niche of positivity, I’ve spent 25 years,
until one day when I realized I had to carve
myself first. I consider myself a learner in the
paths of life, for there is no definition of
perfection. Inspired by emotions and
understandings, rather than theory. A budding
writer with a pinch of expectations to receive
appreciation in the form of genuine feedback. An
admirer of love, tiny moments and neck hugs!

40

Notes of hope | Farhat Imteyaz

Narrow paths of Wonder

Hopes of the present will be doubled in number
when the self musing knack smears its way into
the journey of life.

Do not stop expecting when it stops raining,
maybe it was a dream all along. Because darlin, a
warm summer might keep you more alive than
the drops of rain ever did!

Being the epitome of normalcy with a touch of
uniqueness is abnormal. When one soul might
have a hundred perspectives to the rarest
question, unique can’t be a touch, rather the only
definition of a person.

When You and I can find our way back home
from gratifying each other, nature gets to weigh
in and spread peace instead of forest fires.

Luck was acquired by an indifferent man, who
failed to notice what the earnest acquires.

Sanctity is habitually associated with purity and
keeping it clean at heart. Well, is that more a
reward than understanding ?
Kind hearts arise from the worst of realisations.

Smart is the mind which has a flair for passion.
Imbecile is the mind which thinks it's a gift of
god.

41

Notes of hope | Farhat Imteyaz

When it solely depends on you to distinguish any
emotion into the right and the wrong, jealousy is
often considered futile. It is human to feel, and
healthy to practice optimism out of.

A pragmatic approach is unworthy of a well-
versed individual. Awaken the closed eyes.

Closure is fit into narrow paths of stepping out of
misery, when all it requires is for you to step into
your undiscovered future.

The unawareness of the future generations is the
quotient to measure empowering revolutions.

If not quoted as presumptuous, drop the idea.
It is the impossible that needs to be broken.

When freedom understands that it is inbuilt, the
givers and the takers depart into its practice.

Make sure the ones who pick up your pieces
match it with theirs. We all have our baggage.

Suffocation seems redundant when walking out is
a requisite of dilemma.

“Why are you fit for this job?”, she asked. I
smirked looking at my file in front of the desk.
Explanatory reasonings may not be worthwhile
for instances that can play its own game.

The black sheep was trying to teach us something
different. Though caught, it stands out.

42

Notes of hope | Farhat Imteyaz

Ideal something is falsified in a perfect world.
Draw your own line!
It is not about fulfilling expectations. Sometimes
it is the acknowledgement.
Display of great valour is a puzzle that fits
honesty. A life of toil and a death of peace.
In a world of fulfillment, would I find myself the
flawless person? No, because then you’ll start
hating perfection. There’s something odd about
an equilateral triangle.Just looking for the right
amount of imperfection being imperfect at that
expression.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is not promised. Not a single second
or minute, is. So, live for today. Keep the promise
you make. Take action on the things you desire
and need. Remind those that matter to you that
they are loved and you are grateful for them.
Never leave someone you care about on negative
terms. Give more than you take. Make calls
you've been telling yourself you'll do 'tomorrow'.
Let the smell of shit go. Never go to bed angry.
We will all die one day, so learn to live each day
with the promise to yourself that it'll be better
than yesterday.

Notes of hope | Farhat Imteyaz

You are enough.

When your chest aches and your head is
swimming with all of your faults and all of your
flaws and you can't seem to find your fooling,
remember that fear is a liar. That you have been
here before, and you will breathe again.
Remember that you are enough. Always enough.

Notes of hope | Farhat Imteyaz

You may see me struggle,
but you won't see me fall.
Regardless if I'm weak or not,
I'm going to stand tall.
Everyone says life is easy,
but truly living it is not.
Times get hard,
people struggle
and constantly get put on the spot.
I'm going to wear the biggest smile,
even though I want to cry.
I'm going to fight to live,
even though I'm destined to die.
And even though it's hard
and I may struggle through it all,
you may see me struggle...
but you will NEVER see me fall.

Open letter to someone who is
brave.

To the brave people outside,

There’s going to be times when you feel like life
is kicking you down, and there’s going to be
times when you feel like you can’t take it
anymore. And that’s okay to feel like that, but you
have to remember that you are not alone.

Whatever dream or wish you hold in your heart, I
hope you go for it, brave people .I hope you
believe in yourself with your entire being and
that in those moments that you might not. I hope
you never settle when it comes to your dreams
I hope that you always chase them with wild lust
and fiery passion. I hope you never let the
doubters and non-believers stop you and that you
let the obstacles strengthen and humble you.
Keep your chin up high and walk around the place
like you own it because you do. Don’t think
you’re in this fight alone because you’re not.

Brave people, I hope you go for your dreams
because they are yours to have...

Love,
Someone who cares
