— Doris Lessing, The Golden Notebook
इश्क तेरी आंखों में लिखा, पढने दे ज़रा,
हमको भी गालिब होना है,
इन गज़लों सी आँखों में खोना है,

Humko Bhi Ghalib Hona Hai
Inn Gazal’on Si Aankhon Mein Khona Hai

“Part of me wanted to have a conversation with you, but not before you told me that you were sorry, not before you begged for my forgiveness. But your apology never came, and I’m still waiting.”
