Barzulla bridge

Ever since i was a child, barzulla bridge have been my part.

I still remember those days of waiting for school bus, watching convent girls bus passing by and traveling by local transport.

Barzulla bridge was almost constructed when i was child and open for public when i enter my adolescence.
Shopkeepers on barzulla bridge seem like a family since i know them for ages.

Before it, there was a small bridge which is almost dysfunctional now,where now you will find either workshops or street hawkers selling desi fast food.

Many even think that ever since barzulla bridge was open for traffic, since then Kashmir's troubled days have began as if it have cast bad eye on Kashmir


The barzulla bridge is more about belonging, longing and growing up for me than a bridge.

kabhie

kabhie tere bhi dil mere liye tarse
pyaasa tera maan ho aur saawan barse

kabhie tujhe bhi kisse pyar ho
magar use tere sath se inkaar ho

kabhie tere aird gird khushi ke ho mele
phir bhi beyed mein ho tu akele

I promised my friend

I promised my friend,
that we will meet again in hell

For hurting others, living life full of lies, lusting for comfort,
we will meet again in hell

We may pray five times,
yet we will meet again in hell

Having last sip of my coffee,
i remind my friend,
we will meet again in hell.
