دے رہے ہیں لوگ میرے دل پہ دستک بار بار، دل مگر یہ کہہ رہا ہے صرف تو اور صرف تو
De rahe hain log mere dil pe dastak bar bar, dil magar yeh keh raha hai sirf Tu aur sirf Tu

I am old enough to know that feeding the birds when you own cats
is just feeding birds to your cats and yet
I told you I loved you--for a moment the cruelest thing to do
seemed like the nicest thing I could say.
You can't love everything on the food chain the same,
said my grandfather on his way to the barnyard with a gun
that for the life of me I can't remember was for a fox
or for the chickens. Seemed like a big distinction at the time
but now I'm not so sure. Everybody is bound to get hungry eventually,
even the housecats. Especially the housecats.
I KEEP HAVING THIS FALSE MEMORY by Robert Wood Lynn
