ہَمَارا عِشْق کَیسا تھا

Summary of the Poem (Written by Ifree) This poignant and soulful poem by Ifree redefines love, moving away from grand romantic clichés and societal expectations. Instead, the author portrays true love as something as essential, comforting, and grounding as daily sustenance ("Daal Roti"). Simplicity and Purity: The poem emphasizes that this love is free from complex rituals, loud promises, or the desire for the unattainable (like asking for the moon or stars). It is found in simple, shared moments, such as sitting down together for a meal. Everyday Reality: Love is depicted not in fictional tales or poetic verses, but in the small, mundane acts of daily life—sharing laughter even when things are scarce, and accepting each other without pretense. Deep Comfort: It describes a relationship that provides a true home, where differences are short-lived, emotions are honest, and the bond remains immeasurable and profound. Ultimately, while the world searches endlessly for an idealized version of romance, the author finds that the true essence of love lies in its most natural, unpretentious, and everyday form.
