to my Meena, My Manooo, My Chanda, Ya Humayra, My Catooo, Meri Jaan-e-Jahan, Mere Dil ka Tukda …
Today is your day… but truly, every day feels like yours in my life. You were born today, and unknowingly, this world became a softer place for me to live in. Allah ne kisi ki dua mein likha tha tumhein… aur mujhe woh dua banaya. I don’t know how I was lucky enough to be the one you love, but Meena… every heartbeat of mine thanks Allah for you.
You didn’t just walk into my life… you seeped into every corner of it. You became the comfort in my silence, the peace in my chaos, the softness in my anger, the smile behind my stubbornness. And today, as you celebrate another beautiful year, I celebrate the gift of you.
You are the hands I want to hold when the world gets loud. The lap I want to rest my head on when I’m tired of everything. You’re the voice I hear in my head even when there’s no one around. You’re my home, Meena… meri rooh ka sukoon, meri har dua ka jawab.
I’ve seen you laugh, cry, love, care, tease, overthink, smile, shy, Kaduuu and melt again — and Meena, every shade of you only pulls me in deeper. Aap ki nasheeli nasheeli, aap ki lashes, aap ki cheeks, aap ke moles, aap ke kanpatti, aap ki plams, aap ke paooo — sab kuch meri ibadat ban gaya hai. And I swear, every time your palm holds mine, I feel like all my life before you was just preparation to deserve that moment.
Meena… tum meri zindagi ho, lekin uss se bhi zyada, tum meri rooh ki maalik ho.
You know, when I think of you, it’s not just your beauty that flashes in my heart — it's the depth. That tender voice that slows my storms, that beautiful laugh echoes in my ears all day and that is enough for me to go on in life, that childlike innocence to stop me from “Meow”, the way you say “Pariii” with all your soul and then melt in seconds. You’re not just the girl I love — you’re the girl my entire existence had been waiting for. Aur jab aap muskurati ho na… lagta hai jaise Jannat ki roshni ne meri zindagi ko choo liya ho.
And today, I want to whisper something into your soul — I’ll never let you go. In this life, afterlife, janam janam ka bandhan — my love for you won’t lessen, not even by a drop. Because you're not a chapter, Meena… you're the whole story. No matter what life throws at us, no matter how stormy or still it gets… my hands will always reach for yours. My heart will always be yours. And my love, my sweet darling, will always begin and end with you.
And today, on your birthday, I just want to say…
Thank you.
Thank you for your love that never runs out.
Thank you for your trust that never doubts.
Thank you for letting me call you “meri Meena”, “meri Chanda”, “meri Zindagi”.
Thank you for giving meaning to my duniya.
Janaaaa… this isn’t just your birthday. This is the celebration of the soul that owns mine. The girl who makes me want to be a better man every single day. The woman I’ll protect in duaas till my last breath.
I promise you again today — your name will stay in every dua, every poem, every corner of my chest. No matter how this world spins, my hands will always reach out for yours. You’ll never walk alone, Meena. Not in this life, not in the next.
You are not my chapter, Meena… you are my book. My beginning, my forever.
Happy Birthday, meri jaan… meri Meena… meri rooh ki maalik.
Now come here… let me place a thousand Meows on the soul that I call my own.
With all the love in the universe,
— Aap ka Dulha, Meena ka Deewana 💘🌙
