Lines of Desire

Aaj phir kai dino ke baad,
Tumhari hansi ki goonj
se mulakat ho rahi

Uski aankhon main aaj bhi
kuch shikwe keh rahe hain
wahi purani unkahi


Laut rahi hai woh unhi
sunsaan sadakon pe
gumraah hokar

Thodi udaas si hai
kyun mili nahi tum, use bhi
ek baar khokar


Anchooyi sehar ki
khamosh karvaton me
simat ti uski parchaayi hai

Keh gayi, mile to yaad karana
kai dino ke baad tumse milne
tumhari hansi aayi hai

Mitch: I thought you were straight.

Blanche: Straight? What's 'straight'? A line can be straight, or a street. But the heart of a human being?

  3. Ah! A streetcar named desires!
    Too bad about the not so straight heart…. It would have been the shortest distance and so much easier for all.
