I laughed way too hard at this
Woh zehar deta toh duniya ki nazroon mein aa jata, Faraz
So usne yun kiya ki waqt pe dawa nahin di

تم مجھے روزقیامت ملنا،
تم سے میرا حساب باکی ہے۔
Tum mujhe roz-e-qayamat milna,
Tum se mera hisab baaki hai.

Wo itefaq se rasty mai mil jaye kahi,
Bs isi shoq ne hume Awara bana dia hai.

Nahi mila hain koi tujhsa aaj tak mujko,
Aur phir ye sitam alag hain ki mila tu bhi nahi
Do not fall in love with people like me.
I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth.
I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.

Shabdon ko adhro par rakhkar Mann ka bhedh na kholo,
Mein aankhon se sun sakta hoon, tum aankho se bolo.
प्रिय लिखकर
priya likhkar
after writing "beloved"
मैं नीचे लिख दूँ नाम तुम्हारा
main niche likh doon naam tumhara
I'll write down your name
कुछ जगह बीच में छोड़ दूँ
kuchh jagah beech mein chhod doon
I'll leave some space in between
नीचे लिख दूँ
neeche likh doon
ill write down
‘सदा तुम्हारा’
'sada tumhara'
always yours
लिखा बीच में क्या यह तुमको पढ़ना है
likha beech mein kya yeh tumko padhna hai
what I've written in the middle that you'll have to read
कागज़ पर मन की परिभाषा का अर्थ समझना है
kaagaz par man ki paribhasha ka arth samjhna hai
you'll have to understand the definition of my heart written on the paper
जो भी अर्थ निकालोगी तुम वह मुझको स्वीकार है
jo bhi arth nikaalogi tum woh mujhko swikaar hai
whatever meaning you'll decipher is welcomed by me
झुके नयन, मौन अधर या कोरा कागज़
jhuke nayan,maun adhar ya kora kagaz
bowed eyes,silent lips or blank paper
अर्थ सभी का प्यार है
arth sabhi ka pyar hai
everything's meaning is love
– Ashutosh Rana
what is even more heartwarming is that he(poet) courted his now wife using this poem
the hopeless romantic in me couldn't resist making a post about it when i saw it

La sonda DART de la NASA ha chocado contra un asteroide en la primera prueba de defensa planetaria
La misión DART de la NASA ha chocado contra un asteroide para intentar variar su órbita. La ha lanzado contra una pequeña luna de un asteroide doble llamado Didymos , la sonda del tamaño un coche pequeño, llamada DART (Doble Asteroid Redirection Test), ha chocado deliberadamente contra la luna del asteroide llamada Dimorphos. Esto es solo una prueba, ya que ni el asteroide Didymos ni su luna…

While most folks were sitting down for supper, NASA tried to move a space mountain.
Beyond sight for backyard stargazers, a spacecraft the size of a vending machine self-destructed by ramming into a harmless asteroid shortly after 7 p.m. ET Monday, September 26th. The high-speed crash was part of the U.S. space agency's Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART.
The moment of impact marked the first time in history humans have attempted to alter the path of an asteroid, a flying chunk of rubble left over from the formation of the solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. Most of the time, these ancient rocks pose no danger to Earth, including Dimorphos, the one NASA just used for target practice. But at least three have caused mass extinctions, the most infamous of which wiped out the dinosaurs.
Stegosaurus didn't have NASA.
"We are changing the motion of a natural celestial body in space. Humanity has never done that before," said Tom Statler, program scientist. "This was the substance of fiction books and really corny episodes of Star Trek from when I was a kid, and now it's real."
