Jaana, Jaana


Jaana, Jaana

She reminds me of a Lollywood movie

Growing up in DHA Lahore

She's living the life of a Punjabi queen


Jaana, Jaana

She fell in love in Anarkali

With a boy with an unknown name

To the verses of Nisar Tabassum's poetry


Curb the inflation, purge the system

Robbers at every corner

The boy's holding Jaana's heart for ransom

After she burned his last love letter


Jaana's living on rent in Bahria

Her art degree's not paying enough

The boy's off to work in Saudi Arabia

Long-distance relationships never really work


Jaana, Jaana

She reminds me of a Lollywood movie

Growing up in DHA Lahore

She's living the life of a Punjabi queen


Jaana, you know you're my sweetheart

Every day I feel your presence

And though we are miles apart

Still feels like we're together in heaven


Jaana, Jaana

She fell in love in Anarkali

With a boy with an unknown name

To the verses of Nisar Tabassum's poetry.

Dreamer Deceived

By -
The end is near For every lover But they do not fear Now they will run for cover But I dread you Mistook you for a dream In the mist I had seen you Walking on a stream I am a Dreamer My mind can create any scene I never wished to leave her She was my actual dream Still you persisted Calling me to insanity I, as a Dreamer, resisted Yet you dragged me into reality So what you were A miracle rarely seen And as a Dreamer I got Deceived by a dream...

Lahore Vampires

By -
Dark-brown eyed beauties Giving you signals for the night Long silky-brunette haired cuties Leaving you tongue-tied Faces with a white glow Black eyeliner on their eyes They never take it slow But who would believe my lies? From all that I know There are Vampires in Lahore Not mentioned in any folklore But from all that I know They feast on your blood Pit feelings never kept aside None of your words they have understood Now check your neck's side That is If you're still alive One teeth-gritted kiss And your life has more than died You are now the undead And amour is eternal Though if you trust a Lahore Vampire after you are dead The end will assuredly be infernal...
