Aadmi Gar Sachay Dil Say Chahay
Aadmi Gar Sachay Dil Say Chahay is an original Urdu ghazal written by Sohail Akhtar Aadil.
It is also transliterated and narrated by the author as well.
As a broad, the poem espouses that if a person wills something truly with his heart, then all the universe starts to conspiire to grant him that wish.
However, there are limits to this as a man can wish for as many things for himself that wishes for but if the wish involves the Will of another person, then unless that person willingly grants the wish, then the person can be "claimed " as having given themselves to the wisher.
The poem touches upon Free Will as the deciding factor between who gets the love of their lives or who loses that love forever.
Hence in translation, the poem reads as:
If a person truly wishes for something with all their heart, then what is impossible?
Whatever maybe possible, it's a pity you can never be mine

Mera Peechha Nahin Chhodti
Mera Peechha Nahin Chhodti Hai
(This Loneliness Will Not Let Go of Me)by Sohail Akhtar Aadil is an original Urdu ghazal written, transliterated and narrated by the author himself.
Dealing with the theme of Loneliness due to the infidelity of a loved one, the poem is a testimony to the redeeming power of creativity in subterfuging the effects of failure in love.
Although it doesn't quite compete with the joys of physical proximity of the love enjoyed by a man with a woman, the ability to express oneself can transport the writer into the wildernesses of the soul where the reflection of loneliness brings about a love and appreciation of Self.
The poem has rhyme, rhythm and metre and it adheres to most of the conventions of classic Urdu literature
