“It’s All In Your Head” Yeah That’s Kind Of The Entire Problem Innit

وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَآءُ ۖ

Watu izzu man'tasha Watu zillu man'tasha

Aur (Allah) jise chahe izzat de aur jise chahe zillat de

(Al imran)

plenty of emotions.

Tavazzo ki ummeed us mah-jabeen se

Tālluq hai kya aasmaan ko zameen se

Expecting attention from moon faced one / What relationship does the sky keeps with the ground

“Mai iss qadar haar jaaunga, . Tum jeet kar pachtaoge”

Ik cheez qayamat bhi hai

Logon se suna karte the

Tumhe dekh ke maine maana

Vo theek kaha karte the.

Aap ki yaad aati rahi raat bhar

Chandni dil dukhati rahi raat bhar

Gaah jalti hui gaah bujhti hui

Sham-e-gham jhilmilati rahi raat bhar

Koi khushbu badalti rahi pairahan

Koi tasvir gaati rahi raat bhar

Phir saba saya-e-shakh-e-gul ke tale

Koi qissa sunati rahi raat bhar

Jo na aaya use koi zanjir-e-dar

Har sada par bulati rahi raat bhar

Ek ummid se dil bahalta raha

Ik tamanna satati rahi raat bhar

-Faiz Ahmed Faiz

There are thousands of poets and then there is Faiz. Once you start reading him there's no going back. Also, what a beautiful ghazal this is.

Ab to ummeed hi nahi hai usko ru-ba-ru dekhne ki,

Bas ek khwab mein mulaqat ho jaye, to zarurat nahi rahegi marne ki

Tumhein jab ru-ba-ru dekha karenge, ye socha hai bohot socha karenge.

Whenever I’ll get to see you face to face, I think I will think a lot.

— Mohsin Naqvi

We don't want to be loved. That's a huge misconception. We want to love. All of us would rather pick a person that we love, than a person that loves us with all their heart. We don't want to be worshipped. We want to worship. We'd all rather be murdered at the shrine of a person we love dearly, than be prayed for.

Maybe it's because we think little of ourselves, maybe it's because we think we don't deserve to be loved, maybe we think loving others gives us some form of atonement for our sins, who knows?

But the point is, when you say you want love in your life, don't lie and say that you wish someone would love you.

I don't like you
