Dupatta makes you look even prettier and I think the desis agree<3

How much better is silence; the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.

- Virginia Woolf

When Qateel Shifai wrote

Dur tak chaye the badal aur kahin saya na tha / Is tarah barsaat ka mausam kabhi aya na tha

When Parveen Shakir said

Kuch to tere mausam hi mujhe raas kam aye / Aur kuch meri miti main baghawat bhi buhat thi

And when Rahat Indori wrote

Main akhir konsa mausam tumhare naam kardeta / Yahan har ik mausam ko guzar jane ki jaldi thi

♡ wo khiltay gulab jesa tha

♡ ranjish hi sahi

♡ rog ese bhi gham-e-yar se lag jaty hain

♡ aah ko chahiye ek umer

♡ zara phir se kehna

♡ kuj unj vi rahwan okhian san (Punjabi)

♡ humesha dair kar deta hun main

♡ Ab jo aaye ho to thehro

♡ kabhi kitabon mein phool rakhna

♡ hosh walon ko khabar kya

♡ kar raha tha gham-e-jahan ka hisab

♡ shab-e-intezaar koi to ho

♡ zindagi khaak na thi

♡ waqt mila to sochen gy

♡ silsilay tor gaya

♡ lag ja galey

♡ aj jane ki zid na karo

♡ chehre pe mere zulf ko

♡ is qadar pyaar se ae jaan-e-jahaan

♡ gham-e-ashiqi tera shukriya

♡ kya khazane meri jaan hijar ki shab

Muddat ke baad aj usse dekh kar Munir

Ik baar dil to dharka magar phir sambhal gaya

-Munir Niazi

[mehreenkhan]

The telephone stretched between us

like a chain of jasmine,

now it has become a noose.

I used to smoke and drink my coffee with your voice

it was essential to my life,

A spring, a parasol,

that brought me

joy and the smell of wilderness.
