Eurydice: Synonyms are weird because if you invite someone to your cottage in the forest, that sounds nice and cozy, but if I invite you to my cabin in the woods, you're going to die.
Hermes: My favourite is "butt dial" versus "booty call."
Persephone: Also, "forgive me father, for I have sinned,"
Persephone, winking at Hades: versus "sorry daddy, I've been naughty."
Orpheus: Great news, everybody! Language is now cancelled.

Jaanta hun aapko sahaare ki zarurat nahi,
I know, that you do not need my support,
Mai sirf saath dene aya hun.
I've come as a companion.
I'm too lonely for that.
Need that heavy rain sound type of night
Aap ki yaad aati rahi raat bhar
Chandni dil dukhati rahi raat bhar
Gaah jalti hui gaah bujhti hui
Sham-e-gham jhilmilati rahi raat bhar
Koi khushbu badalti rahi pairahan
Koi tasvir gaati rahi raat bhar
Phir saba saya-e-shakh-e-gul ke tale
Koi qissa sunati rahi raat bhar
Jo na aaya use koi zanjir-e-dar
Har sada par bulati rahi raat bhar
Ek ummid se dil bahalta raha
Ik tamanna satati rahi raat bhar
-Faiz Ahmed Faiz
There are thousands of poets and then there is Faiz. Once you start reading him there's no going back. Also, what a beautiful ghazal this is.
Bas itnaa saa khwaab haiiii <3
باغ بہاراں تے گلزاراں بن یاراں کس کاری ؟
یار ملے دکھ جان ہزاراں شکر کہاں لکھ واری
Baagh baharaan te gulzaraan bin yaaraan kis kaari Yaar milan dukh jaan hazaraan, shukr karan lakh vari
–Mian Muhammad Bakhsh
What effect of this spring, of these garden, without my friends?
When friends meet, share the griefs, I offer gratitude thousand times
Udaas kyun hain ap?
اداسیوں کا سبب کیا کہیں بجز اس کے
یہ زندگی ہے پریشانیاں تو ہوتی ہیں
Udasiyon ka sabab kiya kahen bajuz uskay
Ye zindagi hai pareshaniyan to hoti hain
nahīñ visāl mayassar to aarzū hī sahī
-What are you?-To define is to limit. They call me voltage. Because I've got a lot of potential, but I'm mostly negative.
