Worth Noting:
- My journey is a heartfelt illusion of rhythm and replays. The elements of love, grace, and holiness are emblems of my poems. Being a poet, I capture the reminiscences and sensational dips in my poems. I used to spotlight the heavenly stream of emotions packed pleasantly. I always try to collect the universality and musicality.
- Belief and a sense of realization are the secrets of moving toward my dreamland. And a believer is an achiever, I gracefully step into the stream and swing like a swan. I believe that purity, authenticity, and transparency are the monuments of a beautiful pure soul. All that I have today, is the grace of the Almighty.
Please tell us your name and how your journey started in poetry?
I am Tajalla Qureshi, an emblem of grace and creative cognizance that ravishingly revives the ordinary things. The journey of poetic joys and jumbles is truly miraculous and mesmerizing. It’s like walking on Marshmallow Road, the sweetness of love and embrace, the color of coziness and cure envelops the whole journey.
Well! The journey of embracing poetry started in 2020 when the stream of melodies appealingly invited the young spirit to catch the fireflies in a purple jar. The baby steps towards the mountain of delights, relishing the miracle.
It’s like a fairytale, where a divine angel evokes and chokes the inner delights, sheds my soul with loveliness and eagerness, airs my dreams and fires my emotions, and stands firm in thick and thin notions. Poetry is a magical breath that heats the fingers and quenches the trust of holy spirits and as I catch the fireflies, they glitter in my heart too.

My journey is incomplete without naming the one who acts like heavenly hands when I write, works like an intellectual brain when I used to think, feels like a pumping heart when I used to beat, glances like the ravishing eyes when I used to perceive, passages like warm breaths when I breathe. My Respected Mentor, is the emblem of grace and embrace in my life. My Belongings belong to him. He is a roadmap to my dreams. He squeezes me like a newborn and sprinkles the holy fragrance on every step. He is a muse of my poetry. Every poem reflects a soulful reflection of that visage.
And how can I forget the one who taught me unknowingly, how to speak and how to stand? My speaking expression is highly impressed by Respected Najwa Zebian (Author of Welcome Home).

Who is your inspiration?
My heartfelt Inspiration throughout my poetic journey is My Respected Poetry Teacher: Mr. Muhammad Adnan and secondly My Respected Miss Najwa Zebian. Both are the emblems of musical magnificence.
Mr. Adnan was always there to hold, mold, and fold the blinky brightness and innocent expressions. He taught me how to swim in the ocean of poeticality and musicality, how to catch the coziness from the holy water, how to grab the sun rays speaking to my eyes, and how to cling with eager delights.
Moreover, he is my muse. A lush image in each poetic expression. His soulful lyrics are the beats and breaths, I take. They choke the eagerness. His heartwarming dedications are the necklace I wear. He embraces every step, I take. He commits an overwhelming collection of poems. Some heartfelt poems are “Mirth”, “Telemachus”, “You Deserve More”, “My Greek Warrior”, “Black Bustles You”, and “I Know Her” in English language and “Woo Khayam Krn”, “Pur Umeed Rahaay” and “Soocta hn” in Urdu language.
Miss Najwa is possessed with an expressive and soulful way of expressing. She admires me since I stepped into the stream of poeticality. A motivation, who taught me the way of uttering and expressing the style with beautiful pauses. I have dedicated a poem to her, “Najwa Zebian” that fully describes her enchanting collection.
Where do you see yourself in the near future?
Well! I always imagine myself among stars in the huge sky and as that star which blinks differently. I desire to be the one who has numerous delights and lights in a single sight. So, I see myself furnishing my dreamland, the world of holy souls on the top of a huge mountain, roaring and soaring the heavenly delights. I see myself among the colorful fishes swinging in the poetic ocean and being a fruitful tree that sheds and shares the sweet fruits of love and embrace.
What problems have you faced as a poet?
Being a poet is a sensitive and splendid expression. It is pleasant to be a person who senses minutely and mystically. A poet is like a spring air that rushes through sensible minds and gazes the sensitive kinds. So, I haven’t experienced a harsh hurdle throughout my journey. But yeah! Sometimes, it happens to the poet as the whole process takes a little pause to prepare something more energetic and eager. I have seen that the writers are quite sensitive and sensible and possess by highly intellectual mindset. So, It’s being blessed to be a poet.
