hanging like an extinguished lantern,
I break myself down more than
my hallucinations do,
about my feelings allied with my thoughts,
heart seems to be an empty street
full of vacuum,
consuming the fragmented air
and choking my emotions, now and then~

-

cross my heart and you'll see all the
smiles I faked for you to love me more,
little did I know, love is never enough

-

I save my secrets in your breath,
so they never fade into nothingness,
they'll always have a home,
no matter what~

-

in memories, we hold a lot,
tears, smiles, joy, despair, surprise,
disgust, pain, fear, relief,
eventually becoming
an immense burden of time~

Should we hold on to them or let go?

-

It doesn't matter how it started,
what really matters is how it's going~

-

If life is unpredictable, people too are!
"fair share"

-

that moment when you have millions of things
going on in your head but find no way to let it out,
something is there but it still feels all empty,
something is eating you up badly,
but you are ready to be swallowed in the blues,
giving birth to you all over again,
after killing you brutally uncountable times~— % &

"तुझसे भी मोहब्बत है" कहकर मैं इश्क़ का मज़ाक नहीं बनाना चाहती,
बल्कि "तुझसे ही मोहब्बत है" कहकर एक मिसाल बनाना चाहती हूं।— % &

उसकी कब्र पर फूल लगाया था एक बरसों पहले,
मगर आज तक न खिला वो,
अब भला वो ज़मीन, मेरी ज़मीन-ए-दिल जैसी थोड़ी ना है।— % &

-

शायद कभी थी ही नहीं ज़िंदगी इतनी मुश्किल,
जितनी हमने सोच रखी थी,
वरना आज जीने की उम्र में कमाना नहीं
और खेलने की उम्र में जीना नहीं सिखाती।— % &
