Na to aankhon se juda, dil mein basa hai bas tu
Mere har khwaab ki tabeer hua hai bas tu
Andheron mein bhi ummeedon ka diya roshan hai
Mere ehsaas ki har raah ka ziya hai bas tu
Har dua mein teri khushiyon ka hi mausam maangun
Mere jazbon ki ibaadat ki sada hai bas tu
Waqt ke saahil pe bikhre hue lamhon ke beech
Mere toote hue dil ki bhi dawa hai bas tu
Door reh kar bhi mera dil to yehi kehta hai
Mere har dard ki taskeen o shifa hai bas tu
Jaanid ke dil ki musafat ka sukoon hai bas tu
Shaista, mere ehsaas ki duniya ki wafa hai bas tu
Bas’ video of Africa really inspired me
Just riding on the Nile river Casually
He got me thinking bout my life, my family
My roots, my ancestors, my legacy
The real eastside--cradle of humanity
The birthplace of knowledge & reality
What’d you think, happen magically?
Kings & queens, put on a boat, tragically
A monster in our midst
it knows no borders,
flouts the strictest checkpoint,
shows no pithy,
its tentacles of horror seizes headlines,
sends shivers down the spine of those cocooned.
Despite all this there lurks an inner zeal,
emboldened human mettle on the march
that bullies such ?as these can never match or ever bargain for.

his inability to find a person to answer
then someone reminded the others
of why he wished to know
his beliefs were supported by
others
people who wished to love
beyond the extension of their love
folk who wanted to be true and faithful
lovers together in the unity of love
some saw this as ways people who
wished to restrict those they despised
from having the things they wanted
and wished for: other saw this as weird
people weirded by love who's objections
were to have words to express their
appreciation to their lovers.
keep quiet those who see different
that their words may never be heard
yet the summers causes heat
might winters snow hide the paths of
those who wish not to be followed
who's summers are heated by a sun
which warms a earth for lovers:
than might the blankets of winter be the
snows of spring?
or might these blankets be the coverings of fall?
none wished to answer.
none wish to reply!
