Aarzi maamle men lamba intezaar nahi hota
Satahi khichaav men qadr ka ehsaas nahi hota
Mayassar hote tou rab ka shumaar nahi hota

excitement in life.
All in one go.

dark in me. Pieces
of me which I hid in
the recesses of my
heart. After I stopped
resisting you, healing
embraced me & all that
was detrimental to a

fragile yet resilient that
refrained from bowing
down to defeat.

Finest roses bloom in the garden,
Yet prickles mesmerize me.
My heart bleeds for the stabber.
Oh ! How I am deceived.
