Hurt

More often than not, when we do something nice or kind for someone; we expect at least something back in return. It might not be a materialistic expectation, but just a small token of appreciation or a nod of gratitude. Any expectation is a portal for potential hurt. Abandon all expectations and you seal all channels of hurt. You become nonchalant to being shunned while serving others. If you wish to be kind in life, than learn to be without any expectations.

Watershed moments

There is no sense in fighting and working yourself up on issues that are far beyond your circle of influence. When something affects you, but you can not alter it; acceptance without stress is the only option. Not because you find it palatable, but because you choose to value your internal peace. Without internal peace and calmness, one becomes impotent in even dealing with things that one could affect positively. Too many people make themselves miserable on situations and happenings that are clearly beyond their influence. Please don't waste time and energy on such matters, if you are spiritual; take it as divine plan, accept it and move on in life. If not than choose some other recourse to accept it without being bitter. Value your internal peace.

Worthy

If I am really worthy
Why not glow in my presence?
Why muse on things unnecessary?
Why cry on imagined hurts?
Why focus on the mundane?
Why not cherish the profound?
Why not celebrate each moment together?
Why fury on few seconds apart?
Why pump yourself with hatred?
For hours and hours alone
Till nothing can be seen
No love
No passion
Just pain
Real pain
Created by anger and anguish
Uncontrolled
Always justified
Drowned in streams of tears
Till all our beauty is hazy
And flames of blame ignite
And this burning inside begins to eat
Our entire house down
Please dear, oh very dear
Choose happiness my love
And if you can
Keep your hand firmly in mine
Believe in yourself
Make life worth living
Make us worth envying 
But if I am not worthy
Than throw me into darkness alone
Don't ever cry for me again
Because when history will be rewritten
I was just a pain for you
And a cancer well removed

Allah Sohnay deh hawalay

Nindran apni haram karayay
khouj la la halkan ho jayay

duawan saharay jahan banayay
haqeeqatan naalon munh chupayay

Naseeyatan karyay umeedan layay
Amaal waikh ashq bahayay

Sachian galan tunh bura ban jayay
Niyatan teh apni shak karwayay

Badlaiyan wich sakoon lutayay
Ghairan toon badnamiyan payay

Toran lagay teh rok na payay
Aiwain sou sou waday karwayay

Piyarayan de pichay kiwain parh jayay
Malakay Apni khawaishan te zabt na payay

Piyarayan nu piyar nal hi nibhayay
Kion na faislay rab kolon karayay

Ja weh ladliya Allah sohanay deh hawalay
Ja weh mitra Allah sohanay deh hawalay

Where My Voice Ends

Where my voice ends
My heart speaks
Of whispers private
And secrets deep

I kept from you
All those words
Till a nightly rave
Laid me bare

Please
Retake that part
Forget my slip
Don't look hurt
Trust my wit
Redo the scene
Forgive my quip

I shall
Stick to the script
Act as you like
Play by the rules
Say what is right

How Can I

How can I
Fly in the sky

Be on the ground

at once
Burn with passion
Be cold to touch
at once

Look in your eye
Be poker face
at once
Ensnared by you
Be free
at once

How can I
Bask in love
Be prudent

at once
Dream about you
Be rudely awake
at once
Kiss your cheek
Be nonchalant
at once
Meet in secrecy
Be a revelation

at once

Matter To You? (The other side)

Why should it matter to you?
If I find it hard to breath, or rest, or go to sleep
Why should it matter to you?
If I suffer, or cry, or bleed from wounds deep

Why should it matter to you?
If love I seek, or trample, or do not wish to keep
Why should it matter to you?
If I curse, or shout, or cut to see blood seep
Why should it matter to you?
If you are a saint, or a charlatan, which harvest I reap

Listen to me read it
