Untitled Ode and Obituary to my generation, part I

We are a puff puff pass generation
Of puff puff pass rebellions

So take a drag on your cigarettes
And smoke out your lungs

Aakhir aag koi dehek rahi hogi andar
Jo itna dhuan hai
Aur agar mehez dhuan hi hai bas
To kabhi maa ke man mein jhaankna
Tumhe wahaan dikhega
Dhuein se aag kaise sulagti hai

We are a puff puff pass generation
Of puff puff pass rebellions

So take another drag of depression,
And anxiety 
And slit your wrists, pass the blade
Cut cut pass.
Making doors on your skin
for your soul to pass through
Quick escapes
Slow deaths

Agar inti jaldi hai jaane ki
To koi asahneey peeda 
peechhe chhode jaa rahe hoge

Unbearable pain 
Hurt hurt pass,
this undying pain, 
unto those you love most.

We are a puff puff pass generation
Of puff puff pass rebellions

Rebellions which are born of old monks and young blood,
Mixing,
Making cocktails offered according to taste.
And you could order harmless fun
And you could order violence.

Aur 'madhushaala', 'madhoshi', sab shabd 
kavitaon mein kitne pyaare lagte hain
Shukr hai lekin
Us ladki ko in kavitaon ko padhna nahin aata, 
Vo ladki jiske pitaji ghar kal nashe mein aaye the
Jiski maa ne apne gham siskiyon mein dubaaye the
Jiski kranti bhi madira se jaagegi, magar aise ki

We are such a generation of puff puff pass ironies,
Cronies,
Stealing time from our own lives,
and I wish we could stop,
but we puff puff pass our time
"Killing time isn't murder but suicide"
But what do we care about quotes, 
they are but dead lines.

We are a puff puff pass generation
Of puff puff pass rebellions.
