تیرِ تقدیر" (Teer-e-Taqdeer) – The Arrow of Fate

**Description:** This soul-stirring *ghazal* by **Noshad** is a poignant reflection on fate, heartbreak, and the cruel ironies of life. Each verse weaves a tapestry of sorrow—where dreams turn into tears, destiny feels like a prison, and love’s promises dissolve into despair. From the silence before a beloved’s image to the shackles of fate finally breaking, the poet mourns not just lost joys, but the very act of mourning itself. The closing lines pierce like an arrow—one that never returns, leaving only grief in its wake. A masterpiece of melancholy, this *ghazal* captures the universal ache of human suffering with haunting elegance. **Themes:** *Fate vs. Effort, Love’s Illusions, Suffering, Existential Sorrow* **Mood:** *Melancholic, Reflective, Bittersweet* ???? *"When the heart’s ink is washed away by tears, even our own story becomes a reason to weep."*
