Journey of Roomaniyat

Mijaaz Raat Ka penned by Ajay Pande 'Sahaab' is a reverent acknowledgement of love as the muse for literary pursuits. A true lover can draw inspiration from everything all around, as everything appears to be an embodiment of the beloved. 


Bhala Mane Bura Mane penned by Aninda K. Chakraborty ‘Koshish’ is a romantic reflection of the delicate harmony of love. The poignant paradox of desire and devotion, presence and pursuit, pleasure and pain, is expressed through the voice of a yearning heart.


Aa Chandni Bhi penned by Dr. Bashir Badr is an ode to the euphoria of love. As moonlight bears mute witness, the forlorn lover spends sleepless nights in separation. The delirium of desire creates an intoxicated spirit of memories of the pleasant moments of union.

Journey of Roomaniyat 1


Dastak Hai Ki penned by Shahid Kabir glorifies the magical experience of love as seen through the heart of a lover in the trance of ecstasy. Lost in love, the lover feels the presence of the beloved in every longing breath and in the vibrations of each passing moment.

Thi Gar Aane Mein (Nazm) by Jaun Elia celebrates different seasons of love.It wonderfully communicates how in spite of all its laments, love is still a precious & endearing emotion. In spite of all the pain it brings, love is always welcomed in all its unique unique ways of manifestation.

Ek Ladki hai by Vilas Pandit is a fitting description of power and vulnerability of love-Incomplete yet infallible, pure yet so latent, peaceful yet perturbing, love is the perfect experience of calm and chaos in every moment of existence. 

Journey of Roomaniyat 2

Kamaal-E- Ishq hai  by Majaaz Lucknawi is an exuberant exposition of ecstasy, an uninhibited acceptance of indulgence in all that is related to love.  

Shak Mein Saare by Ghalib Ayaz is a depiction of the ambiguity of emotions. The celebration of love is so evident and yet so latent. On side of a heart in love wants to boldly exhibit the beloved, while the other wants the expression to be subtle, subdued and secretive. And yet, love finds a way to express itself for the world to see.

Tere Ishq Ki penned by the legendary Muhammad Iqbal is a reflection of the supreme power of love. There is nothing more enchanting or precious than love. Lovers are prepared to relinquish even the rights of heaven for a glimpse of the beloved. The ecstasy of love often drives lovers to impulsive insolence. Even then, who wants to refrain from this intoxicating indulgence.
