I wish to write- write again.
Of those voices inside my head. Voices that speak not to me, but to one another only. I am merely an uninvited audience; an eavesdropper perhaps.
But that doesn't matter.
What matters is that they've started whispering again, in hushed tones, and otherwise.
The voices, they're speaking again.

For our own good
You and I- Let's appreciate the surface only, shall we; and not bother about what's underneath?

Jis ne apne khoon se aalam ko dhoya, woh Hussain (AS)
Hussain jis ki sad'a, la illa ha illallah.
Hussain jis ki san'a, la illa ha illallah.
Hussain jis ki dua la, illa ha illallah!

Musings Today
Sighs.
I fail miserably, everytime- in my attempt to see, if life's failing me, or if I'm failing it.
Either way, I'm miserable.
I feel like setting fire to things, n watch them burn, silently.

Hussain(AS) likhna
Khuloos-e-dil ki roshnaee lay ker
Ba-deed-e-ter Hussain likhna
Tum aisa karna kitab-e-dil ke
Warq warq per Hussain likhna
Kasheed ker gulab ka arq
Fiza main peham charrak'na usko
Phir in sunehri fiza'oun per tum
Roshni ka paiker Hussain likhna
Azaan daingi tumhari aankhain
Namaz misray adaa karay gi
Tum aisa karna ke raah-e-Haq main
Hussain perh ker Hussain likhna
Haroof khushboo k phool bun ker
Tumharay seenay main khil uthaingay
Tum aisa karna k apni aankhon
Aur aapne lub per Hussain likhna
Tumharay tareek manzar'oun main
Ujalay phootaingay noor bun ker
Tum aisa karna k apnay ghar main
Darood parh ker Hussain likhna
Hussain likh ker phir usko likhna
Phir isko likh ker tum aisa karna
Ke aaj tak jo bhi likha ho
Tum uska mehwar Hussain likhna
Wo barchiyaa'n wo chamktay khanjer
Wo taptay sehra pukarty hain
Tum aisa kerna ke Karbala ke
Badan pe ja ker Hussain likhna
Ager kitabat ka shouq ho to
Kitab-e-sabr-o-raza main Rahat
Jahan shaheedou'n ka naam likhna
Tou sub se oper Hussain likhna
-Syed Rahat Hussain Rahat

Tangy nights
Here's how a midnight craving for tang goes by:
Me: Ooh i had to make you tang, din mein right?
S: Yes, you did. *frowns*
Me: Koi aur tang piye ga?
Others: *shake head*
Me: *making tang*
Me: *spots a baby roachie in the glass i had reserved for S*
Me: *brainstorming, dosra tang banaon, yahi de deti hon, ussay thori pata chalay ga, but that would be unethical, kya karoun, but then yeh zaya hojayega, pura glasss...*
Me: S... woh tumharay glass mein baby coakroach nikla pata nahin kahan se, just when i poured in the water.
S: Tou apna mujhe dedou, tum le lou cockroach wala.
Me: Magar woh tumhara glass tha.
S: Kya matlab mera glass tha, naam tou nahin likha hota.
Me: No, but i decided that was going to be yours and and this was to be mine.
S: Koi baat nahin, tum le lou, dosra mujhe dedo.
S: ... Acha dedou!
Me: *grins* Mein dosra banadoun if you don't want to drink it. *hopes to the core of the heart she says no, all hail laziness*
S: Koi baat nahin.
Me: Waise just so you don't feel bad, i took the roachie out with the spoon and then stirred my tang with the same spoon on purpose. So, that sirf tumhara tang roach wala na ho.
S: *gives a weird look, and a smile doubting my mental health*
Me: *grins*
Me: Ooh i had to make you tang, din mein right?
S: Yes, you did. *frowns*
Me: Koi aur tang piye ga?

Metamorphosis
Aksar mehaz eik lehza he darkaar hota hai, mehaz eik lehza, barsoun puraane khuloos aur muhabbat ko nafrat mein badalane ke liye.

Unreasonable reasoning
Only if you could truly recollect and realise how little time we have- I have...
Perhaps then only you might have discovered reason underlining my unreasonableness.

Introspect
Main tujhay chahta nahi laikin
phir bhi jab paas tu nahi hoti
khud ko kitna udaas pata hoon
gom say apnay hawaas pata hoon
janay kya dhun samai rehti hai
ik khamoshi si chai rehti hai
dil say bhi guftagu nahi hoti
Main tujhay chahta nahi laikin
phir bhi reh reh kay meray kanon mein
goonjti hai teri haseen aawaz
jaisay na-deeda koi bajta saaz
har sada nagawar hoti hai
dil ki dharkan bhi baar hoti hai
in sukoot-ashna taranon mein
Main tujhay chahta nahi laikin
phir bhi shab ki taweel khilwat mein
teray awqaat sochta hoon main
teri har baat sochta hoon main
kon say phool tujh ko bhaatay hain
rang kya kya pasand aatay hain
kho saa jata hoon teri jannat mein
Main tujhay chahta nahi laikin
phir bhi ehsaas say nijaat nahi
sochta hoon to ranj hota hai
dil ko jaisay koi dubota hai
jis ko itna sarahta hoon main
jis ko iss darjaa chahta hoon main
us mein teri si koi baat nahi
