Where to begin from?
Is there even a specific beginning?
when Meera danced intoxicated in love 
when Shah Jahaan built the Taj for Mumtaz
when Saleem's love was forcefully suffocated
the world couldn't dishearten Ranjha's intentions..
If Sita was called names,
then Laila was also burdened by injustice
If you think carefully
No matter how 'logical' you are
Can lovers ever be stopped?
After all these years, 'Romeo' isn't complete without a 'Juliet'
Build as many walls between them
Saleem lives on in Anarkali!
Listen carefully 
This is a story of 'then', this is a story of 'now'
Entered from nowhere a flamboyant magician
With big dreams in his big starry-eyes
With majestic wings, ready to fly
With no fear of falling or failing
If scared, he'd conceal it, on being asked, he'd say
"Fearful are those who are afraid to fly,
the one's who aren't afraid of losing are the true winners"
Little did he know, she was about to enter the story
She's going to bring him back on earth!
She too loved flying high
soon who was going to captivate his senses.
She had a strong command on words
Every alphabet took her permission before being uttered
They hadn't met in the story yet..
but their journey had begun!
Neither were there firecrackers, nor was the day
declared a public holiday They met in a way
which was magical ONLY for them.
Neither was he a replica of Ranjha, nor did she resemble Heer
Just two ordinary people In the world of modern dating!
They held hands,
and ignited such a spark
that Juliet's heart skipped a beat in Romeo's grave.
But they were both naive
one had dreams in his eyes the other believed..
"we'll meet again, if we're meant to!"
They parted ways, and got back into the world of speed dating
This time I won't be with anyone like that fool", she cribbed in pain. 
Running in circles on dating apps, they again found each other
Just like how Mirza's childhood found Sahiba's company.
This is a story of 'then', this is a story of 'now'
closeness gave birth to love so deep,
Issues started overpowering attraction
A love too much to handle, erupted in a way
that it gave birth to suffocation 
In this new world, 'space' was invented 
Romeo too couldn't handle Juliet's 'interference' 
Sita kept an eye out for other opportunities 
Modern Day Ram too asked for a purity test
and so AGAIN they parted ways in such a way 
that they'd never ever meet again!
They'd indulge in a bit of stalking on Facebook 
but wouldn't let their new partners know
Samyukta didn't commit Jauhar this time around
but she cursed Prithviraj to her heart's content
'Do not return!', she said and thought to herself..
'Won't I just perish if he comes back?
How many times do I lose him?
They both set out on their respected journeys 
The magician went back riding on his dreams,
but every now and then he'd think to himself
those times we spent together were magical none the less
I wish she had stayed a bit longer!
Heer smiled from a distance
Sohni swam across the ocean 
Ranjha couldn't hold back a chuckle
'How silly are these poor souls'
Who could ever stop true love
New or Old
Love is still called Love
Even if the Entire world changes
A news hit the town
'She's returned back', they said
Wandering eyes met each other
stirring up a new havoc!
hands touched yet again..
lips quivered some more..
Let's see, in this 'new' world
this old love bears which new fruits!
This is a story of 'then'
This is a story of 'now'
The one with an end, could this ever be that story?
Thank You.
