ye waqt ka kasoor ya,
ye meri thi himakatein..
jo zalzale me deh gyi,
muradon ki imaratein..

flowers, you get attracted to them
you pluck them
keep them with you
then they wither
and you throw them away

leaves, well they're safe

-

baat jab mausam ke tabadla hone ka ho
to baarish ki boondein paalki ki trah aa jaati hain
sath me patakhe aur photographer lekar
jaise kisi baraat me aayi ho

-

ashq ki boondein raaz rehti hain,
muskurahat ka aelaan hota hai..

main laal qalam se likhta hu, laali jo hai ishq mohabbat me..
wo laal mera dil dikhta hai, us laal ishq k jannat me..
main laal qalam se likhta hun..

us rang-e-fiza ka kya kehna, jo pyaar ke naghme gata hai..
khushboo-e-hina ka kya kehna, jo ishq ka raag lagaata hai..
main laal qalam se likhta hu, laali jo hai ishq mohabbat me..

jannaton ki hoor si lagti hai, jis husn se mujhko pyaar hua..
wo bichhad gyi mujhse us pal, jab neend se main bedaar hua..
main laal qalam se likhta hu, laali jo hai ishq mohabbat me..

aashiq sa bana baitha hoon main, hai ishq bana ab marz mera..
qaabu na rha mera khud pe, ab dil hai bana khudgarz mera...
main laal qalam se likhta hu, laali jo hai ishq mohabbat me..
wo laal mera dil dikhta hai, us laal ishq k jannat me..

patriarchy is the root cause of all the evil that's happened, that's happening and that'll happen in the future.

it's the first kind if inequality humankind created.

to inherit it or not, is your choice.

i woke up one fine morning,
i could breathe,
i could feel my lungs pumped up,
my veins visible enough
to make me stare at them
my head didn't need caffeine
not fuzzy at all

i finally gathered courage
to look at the mirror
and found out
i was asleep this whole time,
my eyes were closed
to all the positive things
i could've seen earlier

i looked at the reflection of myself
on that shiny silver wall
and said to him,
"don't be dead until you die"

-

sometimes,
i feel like i'm a fish
without gills to breathe.
but i've got scales.

people use them to compare
my accomplishments with others

-

when i'm around you
my shadow appears
it takes the shape of what i am
the color of my soul
when i'm around you
i become pure
my life seems fulfilled

-

i thought you were the cure, not the illness.
