Laila, Laila



Laila, Laila
She reminds me of a Lollywood movie
Growing up in DHA Lahore
She's living the life of a Punjabi queen

Laila, Laila
She fell in love in Anarkali
With a boy with an unknown name
To the verses of Nisar Sufi's poetry

Curb the inflation, purge the system
Robbers at every corner
The boy's holding Laila's heart for ransom
After she burned his last love letter

Laila's living on rent in Bahria
Her degree's not paying enough
The boy's off to work in Saudi Arabia
Long-distance relationships never really work

Laila, Laila
She reminds me of a Lollywood movie
Growing up in DHA Lahore
She's living the life of a Punjabi queen

Laila, 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

Laila, Laila
She fell in love in Anarkali
With a boy with an unknown name
To the verses of Nisar Sufi's poetry.

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...

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...
