Preface to Ishq
In a world full of chaos, change, and uncertainty, one thing remains timeless and universal: love. Ishq—a word that holds within it the echoes of ages, of countless hearts that have throbbed, broken, and healed in the name of love. This collection is not just a book; it is an invitation to immerse yourself in the most profound experience known to us: the magic of love.
Love is the most magical thing in the universe because it transcends all boundaries. It’s a force beyond language, culture, and even time. Love is found in the grand gestures of devotion, but just as importantly, in the quiet moments of connection—where words fall silent, and only a gaze, a touch, or a heartbeat speaks. It has the power to transform, heal, and elevate us, making the impossible feel within reach and the ordinary sparkle with wonder.
In these poems, you will journey through the many shades of ishq: from the intoxicating thrill of new affection to the heartbreak that shapes us, from the comfort of companionship to the bittersweet memories of love lost. Each poem is a window into the soul, capturing the way love reveals itself in moments both monumental and fleeting.
Perhaps, as you read, you will be reminded of your own experiences—of loves that shaped you and left an indelible mark on your heart. Let Ishq awaken the feelings that are buried within, the ones that still ache, long, or simply wait for the right time to bloom.
May this collection be your companion in discovering, remembering, and cherishing the magic that is, and always will be, love.
Dragon.

I thought I won't write dark. Yet I feel dark. Dark. Also, it depends on the reader's perspective.
Happy Dangerously Dangerous New Year. ❤️
