The Modern Aashiq

Arz kiya hai… (Listen up…)

Humne unhe dil diya, woh humein seen-zone kar gaye,
Hum shayari likhte reh gaye, woh kisi aur ke sath reel post kar gaye.

(Context)
I gave her my heart, she left me on ‘Read’,
I stayed up writing poetry, while she posted a Reel with him instead.

It’s a tragedy, really. In the era of Galib, lovers sent pigeons. In the era of 5G, we send memes.

Woh online hain, par reply nahi aata,
Yeh kaisa rishta hai jo Wi-Fi se bhi kamzor hai naata?
Block kar diya unhone har platform pe humein,
Magar fake ID se stalk karne ka maza hi kuch aur hai!

(Translation)
She is online, but the reply never comes,
What kind of relationship is weaker than the Wi-Fi signal?
She blocked me on every platform known to man,
But stalking from a Fake ID has its own charm, damn!

(Disclaimer: Please do not stalk people. Just write sad tweets like the rest of us.)
