Mind Flirting with Thoughts

My dentist once told me that letting go is like pulling a tooth. When it was pulled out, you’re relieved, but how many times does your tongue run itself over the spot where the tooth once was? Probably a hundred times a day. Just because it wasn't hurting you doesn’t mean you didn't notice it. It leaves a gap and sometimes you see yourself missing it terribly. It’s going to take a while, but it takes time. Should you have kept the tooth? No, because it was causing you so much pain. Therefore, move on and let go.

#that’s a fucking deep dentist visit

is your dentist also your therapist?

yes it’s cheaper that way I don’t think you would understand

Lesson learnt!

Olympics

Shattered to know the sole Saudi Arabian karate contestant won’t be allowed to compete due to hijaab.
Where is the spirit of games gone?

Fake

The characters in your messages are fake. The whole air that’s between us is fake. Why don’t you give me an answer and walk to the other side? Let me cut the ties that are tethered to these fake poles of courtesies. Let me be free. Walk away. Let me dissolve the traces. Let me know it was all fake. The pretence has to die. The awful feeling in the mind has to die. The awkward feeling in the head upon seeing your name has to die. Your existence in my memory has to die. We need to walk away from each other. This weight of chains that have kept us dragging need to be melted. They need to be cutoff because they are gashing through my skin. They are making my blood drip. They are making me crawl to hidden spaces. They are making me so vulnerable. They are making me so dead.

Just walk away. Please.

Dasht-e-tanhaai mein

Dasht-e-tanhaai mein, ai jaan-e-jahaan, larzaan hain 
In the desert of my solitude, oh love of my life, quiver
teri avaaz ke saaye, 
the shadows of your voice,
tere honthon ke saraab 
the mirage of your lips

dasht-e-tanhaai mein, 
In the desert of my solitude,
duri ke khas-o-khaak tale
beneath the dust and ashes of distance
khil rahe hain tere pehlu ke saman aur gulaab
bloom the jasmines and roses of your proximity

uht rahi hai kahin qurbat se 
From somewhere very close,
teri saans ki aanch 
rises the warmth of your breath
apani khushbuu mein sulagti hui 
smouldering in its own aroma,
maddham maddham 
slowly, bit by bit.

dur ufaq par chamakati hui 
far away, across the horizon, glistens
qatra qatra
drop by drop
gir rahi hai teri dil daar nazar ki shabnam 
the falling dew of your beguiling glance

is qadar pyaar se hai jaan-e jahaan rakkhaa hai 
With such tenderness, O love of my life,
dil ke rukhsaar pe 
on the cheek of my heart,
is vaqt teri yaad ne haath
has your memory placed its hand right now

yun guman hota hai 
that it looks as if
garche hai abhi subah-e-firaaq
(though it’s still the dawn of adieu)
dhal gaya hijr ka din 
the sun of separation has set
aa bhi gaye vasl ki raat 
and the night of union has arrived.
