Psychological Fiction · 2024
Zarrar has everything — success, status, a life that looks perfect. Then a nightmare changes it all: he will die in three days. A brutal, beautiful reckoning with the life he built and the person he forgot to become.
“What would you do if you had only three days to live?”
Literary Romance · 2025
Found in a weathered diary, Altamash's story is a haunting meditation on love, loss, and memory. What do we sacrifice for the people we cannot let go — and is forever ever worth the price?
“When love and tragedy meet, forever is the price we have to pay.”

Literary Fiction · 2028
Four childhood friends, torn apart by conflict, are brought back together after ten years by a heartbreaking letter from a friend who is dying of cancer. The story explores the complexities of friendship and the impact of trauma as they confront their past and rediscover their connection.
“We grew up, and then we just grew apart, leaving nothing but echoes of laughter in an empty room.”
“In his race against time, Zarrar must answer the ultimate question: what does it truly mean to live?”
3 Days Left to Die
“Some loves do not ask permission — they arrive, consume, and leave scars no amount of time can erase.”
The Price of Forever
The Author
Mushaf Naveed is a writer and software engineer from Islamabad. He graduated in Software Engineering from Sir Syed CASE Institute of Technology, and has worked across software quality assurance, AI, and front-end development. What connects all of it is simple: he likes making things.
He has never been comfortable standing where everyone else is standing. Society on one side, him on the other — not out of arrogance, but because the view is clearer from there. Most of what a crowd agrees on has only gone unquestioned for long enough.
He writes to say the things people are not allowed to say. For those who cannot speak, he speaks. For those who are hurt, he writes to heal. And for the cheap, ugly things a society quietly agrees to call normal — he writes to refuse them that.
Beyond the Page
Software engineering is the other half of the work — products shipped for readers, students, and businesses in Pakistan and beyond.

Founder · In development
A private journal that quietly remembers everything you write, keeps the story of every person and feeling that recurs in your life, and, rarely, shows you a pattern you could not see yourself, using your own words as evidence.
Founder · In development
A mobile app for everything you cannot say out loud: to someone who died, someone alive you cannot reach, a stranger who will understand, or yourself in ten years. Write a letter, an essay, or simply what today feels like. Seal it with wax and it goes out with the morning post to people who have been where you are. They cannot like it or comment on it. They can only write back.

Introduction to PhilosophyThe University of Edinburgh
Global Affairs Explained: The FundamentalsCouncil on Foreign RelationsMy name is Mushaf Naveed, and I do not think in limits. I believe a person can build anything they set their hands to, and that nothing is out of reach so long as God is with me.
Failure has never lived in my head. What lives there is the dream, and the stubborn optimism that one day the thing I am reaching for will be in my hands. I am in love with the journey. The destination was never the point.
I work hard because I want to be great. Not admired, but genuinely great, and to leave something behind that made this world better than I found it.
You will not know me by degrees, certificates or a list of skills. Know me as someone trying to be good in a world where much is not. Like Alexander, I will leave this world with empty hands, and no label was ever the whole of who I am.
