क्यों पड़ा प्यार में जहाँ उसको मेरा फ़िक्र न हो,
कोई वक़्त ही नहीं जब मेरे मन में उसके ज़िक्र न हो।

चाहा था दिल से पर उसकी नज़र न मिला,
इस बंजारे को उसके दिल में घर न मिला।

दिल लगाया जिसे, उसने कभी अपनाया ही नहीं,
मेरा हर सपना था वो पर मैं उसका ख़्वाब में ही नहीं।
Why did I fall in love with someone who doesn’t care for me?
Not a moment goes by when her thoughts don’t consume me.

I loved her deeply, but our eyes never met,
This wanderer never found a home in her heart yet.

The one I gave my heart to never made me her own,
She was my every dream, yet I was never in hers alone.

I despise myself for not being someone you could love.

I hate watching how much freedom he gets to have
more than how little choices she is given by everyone.

You see my brown skin
And assume I'm a ****.

You see my hijab
And assume I'm a terrorist.

You see the smile on my face
And assume I'm happy.

You hear my words
And assume I'm okay.

But I am not.

Instead I am broken.
Yet I am also strong.

I am dark and rule-following.
I am peaceful and Muslim.

You assume based on
Society's POV.

If you smile
You must be happy.

Fox, CNN, any media
Tells you I am a terrorist.
So the names I get called
And the extra security checks
Are extremely upsetting.

The murders of black folk
Is either considered appropriate
Or it's "black on black crime"
So it's not taken seriously.

Who are you gonna believe
Me or those who don't know me?

hell is a place where
you constantly love those that
do not love you back.
