“रोने से और इश्क़ में बेबाक हो गये,
धोये गये हम ऐसे कि बस पाक हो गये.
कहता है कौन नाला-ए-बुलबुल को बे-असर,
परदे में गुल कि लाख जिगर चाक हो गये.
करने गये थे उससे तग़ाफ़ुल का हम गिला,
की एक ही निगाह कि बस ख़ाक हो गये.
इस रंग से उठाई कल उसने असद की लाश,
दुश्मन भी जिसको देखके ग़मनाक हो गये.”

“Eventually something you love is going to be taken away. And then you will fall to the floor crying. And then, however much later, it is finally happening to you: you’re falling to the floor crying thinking, “I am falling to the floor crying,” but there’s an element of the ridiculous to it — you knew it would happen and, even worse, while you’re on the floor crying you look at the place where the wall meets the floor and you realize you didn’t paint it very well.”
