Hello Shayari lovers
Ruhgatha is not just a name. It’s the heartbeat of my poetry.🌿
‘Ruh’ — meaning soul 🕊️ in Urdu/Arabic and ‘Gatha’ — meaning story 📖 in Hindi — together form Ruhgatha:
“The story of the soul.” ✨
This name is deeply personal. It was born from the influence of my closest Urdu-speaking friends 🤍— with whom I lived, laughed, cried, and started writing. Their language, their emotions, and their rhythm merged with my own Hindi thoughts… and my poetry naturally found a home in both.
Here, you’ll find verses written in Hindi and Urdu, often blending the two — just like life itself, where cultures, emotions, and languages overlap.
I’ve had a lifetime’s worth of experiences in just a few years and that’s what shaped me into a poet. I don’t just live life; I observe it deeply. I see the in-betweens. I feel what others overlook.
Ruhgatha is a reflection of those moments — intimate, unfiltered, and absolutely real.
Each poem is born from my personal journey. No borrowed metaphors. No recycled lines.
Just raw, original emotion… lived and inked by me.
Welcome to my world of verses.
Welcome to Ruhgatha🌿

हर दीवार डर से नहीं बनी होती… कुछ मोहब्बत से दूर रहने के लिए भी बनती हैं।

Yes, the wounds of that past run far too deep,
That every new person fails to comfort me or make me weep.

As a poet, perhaps I shouldn’t speak on this matter, but I have realised what I believe is the real problem in India.. and why we are not as developed as many other countries:)
It is the deep, blind cultural and religious divide.
An Indian is no longer able to stand for another Indian. If we ourselves are divided, of course others will rule over us. This has been happening for generations, and most people still don’t understand it.
Forget about one person from one state standing up for another.. here, even people from the same state fight amongst themselves, arguing that “my city is better, yours is worse” while both share the same culture. Indians take everything far too personally. Instead of focusing on the national interest, everyone seems to focus only on their own.
One thing I admire about many Western countries is that there is no such blind cultural or religious divide to cling to.. that is perhaps why they are 50 to 100 years ahead of us. And when you speak about this, some “blind loyalists” will immediately say, “Which country doesn’t have problems?”
Of course, every country has problems, but India’s problems are of a unique kind.
Managing such a large population is not solely the government’s job—it’s about civic sense.
Why is everyone so obsessed with only protecting their culture, religion, and language—but not their nation? Where is the unity?
Does it really matter whether you are Marathi or Gujarati, Sikh or Muslim—are you not Indian first?
Is that not enough to feel pride?
Instead, we fight over these meaningless divisions, which only benefit politicians and foreign powers. Think about it! no matter how fiercely you defend your culture, in the end, who benefits from our infighting? Certainly not the nation as a whole.
If we removed these differences and focused together on education, healthcare, infrastructure, economy, and markets—politicians wouldn’t be able to fill their pockets so easily, and no foreign power could take advantage of us. Even the British knew that Indians were easy to rule if they were divided—just split them by religion, culture, and language, and the work is done.
Sadly, we are still making their work easy.
Unity is everything. Truly.
Jai Hindi 🇮🇳 – High time we understand meaning of it:)
