Sakhi 3

Oil on cavas, 3rd of the series!

شبِ ہِجران دراز چوں زلف و روزِ وُصلت چو عمر کوتہ

سَخی! پِیا کو جو میں نہ دیکھوں، تو کیسے کاٹوں اندھیری رَتِیاں

~ Ghalib

Translation:

Long like curls is the night of separation,

short like life the day of union;

My dear, how shall I pass the dark night

without your face before me?

Really enjoying painting these, a whisper of heritage, a promise of strength.

She wears her stories — not as adornment,

but as armor, radiant and unbreakable.
