KANEETA ARSHAD

Writer

We are the generation that lays their bodies naked for causal sex but refuses to show their naked souls to anyone. The generation that moves from one body to another in a matter of seconds but is too scared to settle for one. We are the people who wear masks on their faces so well that no one knows each other's real face. People that are too afraid to talk about how they feel because they fear judgements. People who have to hide their sexuality because they could get killed. People who are bullied for their skin colour and body weight. People who hate each other because they belong to a different faith. People who are too afraid to change.

Galat baat ko nazar andaz karti hai
yeh kesi hai teri mohabaat
mere har jazbaat ko thukra deti hai
yeh kesi hai teri mohabaat
meri uraan ko rokna chahti hai
meri rooh ko apne haaton mein sameitna chahti haii
teri soch mujhe qaid karti hai
teri awaz mujhe hofzada karti
yeh kesi hai teri mohabaat
meri ankaon se barste pani ko dehkti hai
meri muskaan ko mita deti hai
yeh kesi hai teri mohabaat
har zulam ko tu mohabaat ka naam deti hai
kyun iss tarhan tu mohabaat ko badanam karti hai

Yeh jo hawa mujhe chu rahi hai
Teri dastan mujhse keh rahi hai
Mehsoos kara rahi hai wo beite lamhe
Jo guzare they teri bahoon mein
Meri rooh ko tarpa rahi hai
Teri yaad behaad dila rahi hai
Kehti hai tu pas hai mere
Tera ehsaas mujhe samjha rahi hai
Teri dharkaon ki gungunahat
Mere dilse mila rahi hai
teri Kami ka ehsaas yeh
mujhe bhula rahi hai
Yeh hawa tera eaqs dehka rahi hai
Mohabaat ki dastan suna rahi hai

 

And you have been feeling blue on the summer nights

Rebellious butterflies deep inside

Tired of sugar-coated love

Craving for friendships that last

For once a friend who always understands

A person who holds your hand

Handling all your sentiments

Leaving you with no fear of judgements

Standing by your side like a tall mountain

Shining with you on the bright days

Understanding your silence

Yet craving your words

For once a friend who stays

Despite all your silly mistakes

Mat chal un raaston pe

wo tho baane hi nahi tere liye

Sambhal le khudh ko

ke yahan koi dost nahi tujhe sambhalne ke liye

Tu akela tha, akela hai

Koi insan nahi tere liye

Phir bhi tere dil mein khoof nahi tanhai ka

Kyun ki yeh sab tho aam hai tere liye

Kyun sochta hai tu unke baare mein

Wo jo baane hi nahi tere liye

Guzarte waqt ke shath tujhe bhi samjhe aa raha hai

Ke bas wo khudha hai tere pas tere liye

Ahkair tum Kya ho
kyun khudhi se iss talab anjaan ho
Guzarte waqt se kuch naraz ho
duniya ke matlabi chehron se pershan ho
ahkair tum Kya ho
khabi pyar se chalti koi dhoon ho
tho khabi narfaroon ka tufaan ho
kisi ki nazr mein koi achai ki muraat ho
tho kisi ke liye tum ana barast insan ho
ahkair tum Kya hoon
khabi laafozon mein dhoobi koi haseen shaam ho
Tho khabi khamoshi mein lipti tanha raat ho
khabi tum mere sabhi sawaalon ka jawab ho
tho khabi tumhi mere sab salwal ho
akhair tum Kya ho
