We are the kind of humans
who look for peace
in cigarette puffs
and someone else’s heart

-

Mohabbat unse kuch is tarah hui he
Chand ko dekhu toh asman wo lagti he

-

Once In a lifetime
you meet a human
who kind of fits into
all the love poems
you’ve ever read

-

Waqt or mujh me bus itna hi farq he
wo tere liye rukta nahi or me tere bina chalta nahi

-

....

..............

-

Jinki soorat hi kaatilana ho
unke seerat se kya darna

-

Tareef me tumhare or likhte bi toh kya,
Hamare Nusrat bhi tum or Urdu bhi tum

-

With the kind of heart I own, sanity can never survive. It’s never quiet. To tame, it takes a human who can jump and get me the wild berries from a tree somewhere amidst the forest while on a long drive. These young hearts who look for umbrella during rain do not deserve me

-

The love I have received
was nothing close to
poems and stars
It was hurricane
took me, broke me, and abandoned me
