1 " Who dare says my pain is hideous?That the blows of my pangs are all insidious?For do you not know that this aching is the cureFor the world and its poisonous lure "
― Shoaib Rashdi , Oblivion's Yelp
2 " You say move onI can't but rue on "
3 " Sometimes I prop open a picture of youTo elicit the love that is now tortureFor even in billion parts torture, one part still drips with infinite love "
4 " Would you like to hear my last wish, Munazah? Come on and haunt me in oblivion too! Follow me inside the abyss of every chasm, accompany me in the stillness of every imaginable meadow, and fuse yourself with the deepest sense of identity that I possess. Let all of it be ours! Only ours! Let the rest burn away into sorry ashes. Let the boundaries of form between us cease. I am you, Munazah, and you are me. "

5 " Tell her that if a demon really came to me, as Nietzsche once imagined, and told me that I would have to live this existence over and over again without any change at all, I would embrace him and demand another cycle. I would gladly lock this choice for the circle of eternity. I am so glad I met you, Munazah, even though you weren’t. I’d let you drive me mad every time. Munazah the nymph! Munazah, my hamartia. "
6 " The room for a new dawn has been made my friend and let us live it together. All of you with me and Bushra, that angel. You’d love her. I swear you will. And you will find us out of our minds, laughing and laughing hysterically in some corner at the biggest comedic performance that exists―life. "
