A curated set of Urdu poetry (shaa'iry) couplets that I keep returning to. I hope a sentiment or two in here resonate for you as well.
Waqas' Bazm
Dil se jo baat nikalti hai, asar rakhti hai.
دل سے جو بات نکلتی ہے اثر رکھتی ہے
Par nahin taaqat-e-parvaaz, magar rakhti hai
پر نہیں طاقتِ پرواز مگر رکھتی ہے
The words that come straight from your heart, they have the power of impact. They may not have the power of flight (like wings), but they (most certainly) have impact.

Waqas' Bazm
Suntay hain jo bahisht ki taareef sab durust,
سنتے ہیں جو بہشت کی تعریف سب درست
laikin khuda karay woh tera jalva-gaah ho
لیکن خدا کرے وہ ترا جلوہ گاہ ہو
I hear all these praises of Paradise; they are true. But my prayer is that it's revealed in you.
