"Aur ab main, main apne aap se darne lagi hoon. Kisi se mohabbat insaan ko bohot kamzor kar deti hai, bohot bebas, majboor. Aur mujhe inn saari cheezon se nafrat hai. Lekin uske bawajood, tum meri zindagi ka markaz bante jaa rahe ho. Tum mujhse poochte ho ki mujhe tumhari kya baat achchhi lagti hai. Main tumse yeh kaise kahoon, ki mujhe tumhari kaunsi baat achchhi nahin lagti? Apne irdh-girdh tumhara ghumna. Mere wajood se naa hatne wali, tumhari gehri nazrein. Tumhari har waqt ki tawajjo. Tumhara jaan chhidakne wala har andaaz.. har baar. Jab tum mere maa baap ke liye, ehtraman khade hote ho, toh main tumhare saamne jhukne lagti hoon. Aur kya kuchh nahin? Ek chhote se ghar ke iss pankhe wale kamre mein, tumhari yeh gehri neend. Mineral water bottle ko dhoondne ne ke bajay, nalke ka paani peelena. Hand wash chhod ke, ek saste saboon se haath dhona. Apni plate ko, meri maa ke haath ke pake khaane se baar baar bharna. Par main yeh sab, tumko kabhi nahin bataungi. Tumhare har wade par hasungi. Tumhari har baat ka mazaak uraungi. Tum mujhe sang-e-marmar samajhte ho. Toh samajhte raho. Main tumhare saamne ret ki diwar nahin ban sakti. Mujhe toot jaane se khauf aata hai."
zindagi khaak na thi,
khaak udate guzritujhse kya kehte,
tere paas jo aate guzridin jo guzra toh kisi yaad ki ro mein guzra,
shaam aayi toh koi khwaab dikhate guzri
tujhse kya kehte,
tere paas jo aate guzriraat kya aayi ke tanhaai ki sarghoshi mein
hoo ka aalam tha magar, sunte sunate guzri
tujhse kya kehte,
tere paas jo aate guzri..
"مشـتآق الك قد المطر
ورمل الصحاري والبحر
بس لو يجي منك خبر
افرش قليبي بدربك
I miss you as much as the drops of the rain
The grains of the Deserts and the enormity of the ocean
If I could just hear from you once…
I would spread my heart all in your presence"

"It just goes to show you: you can put nine thousand miles between you and another person. You can make a vow to never speak his name. You can surgically remove someone from your life. And still, he’ll haunt you."
