-What are you?-To define is to limit. They call me voltage. Because I've got a lot of potential, but I'm mostly negative.

Jaanta hun aapko sahaare ki zarurat nahi,
I know, that you do not need my support,
Mai sirf saath dene aya hun.
I've come as a companion.

“I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn’t already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race-that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.”

I'm simultaneously the most logical, rational and the most whimsical person on the planet. I mean, I can solve a complex integral while riding an imaginary unicorn to Asgard while wearing a Batsuit.
Lohe nu hathiyar bana ke
They forge weapons of iron
Bande, bhukh, pyaas mita ke
They forget thirst, hunger and people
Aape ghadiyan murtiyan to
They go confront the statues of God, sculpted by the same hands
Ro-Ro maafi mang rahe san
They cry for their sins and beg for forgiveness.

As I pray I am afraid that death should not befall / While I do remember God, he should not recall

Badi duro chall ke pahunche aa, inj na sajjna buha dho

I've travelled miles to come see you, please do not shut the door
I just have two things to say to you, either be mine, or make me yours.
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
niim bakhsheesh azaab hai ya rab / dil diya hai to dil mein dard bhi de
Time doesn't bring relief. It does being forgetfulness(because of old age and helps if you already have a terrible memory)... the pain you feel is still as gut wrenching as it once was... the only difference being, you forget to remember it as much.

arabic poetry is so beautifully yet painfully romantic, i mean “they asked “do you love her to death?” i said “speak of her over my grave and watch how she brings me back to life" and “because my love for you is higher than words, i've decided to fall silent" could have got jane austen crying and shaking

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five

So you got the thing that we both applied for and I didn't, and now you're calling me and explaining all the details about it and complaining about people there. Hmmmmm.
Eurydice: Synonyms are weird because if you invite someone to your cottage in the forest, that sounds nice and cozy, but if I invite you to my cabin in the woods, you're going to die.
Hermes: My favourite is "butt dial" versus "booty call."
Persephone: Also, "forgive me father, for I have sinned,"
Persephone, winking at Hades: versus "sorry daddy, I've been naughty."
Orpheus: Great news, everybody! Language is now cancelled.
Could be worse.

If you don't understand why someone has been grieving so much for so long, then consider yourself fortunate that you do not understand.
