By the time you read this I'd be long dead. I drugged you by the order of your father so that you wouldn't stop me from leaving. Please don't blame him for anything as I will forever be indebted to him for letting me spend my last hours with you as your begum in front of the entire empire. I know you will curse my grave and I'm no one to beg your forgiveness anymore either. On the contrary, if hating me would let you live even a little more then I'd gladly take along the taint of being your sinner even in my afterlife.
Maybe show your wife and kids those dance moves too that you pleasantly surprised me with (you dance so well for a prince that I felt less of a dancer myself for a moment!)
And when the breeze blows a little too much, when the rain comes down a bit harder, and when the moon glimmers brighter, just know that it's me looking out for you
Whispering
"Maybe in another lifetime?"
आशिक़ो की मातम मशहूर हैँ बड़ी
जिसको देखने सारी सल्तनत हैँ खड़ी
वो शाही पल भी क्या जो आपके रुबारू नवाज़ा ना हो?
वो दलदल ही क्या जो आपकी बाहों का खज़ाना ना हो?
एक तूफ़ान उठा बाहर बगावत का, एक ऊपर आसमानो में पर सबसे बड़ा वो जो हमारे दिल मे उस रात जब आपने दी दस्तक
फिर तो कयामत से कटने को तैयार हमारा था मस्तक
वो इश्क़ की तकदीर ही क्या जिसका जनाजा ना हुआ हो?
वो जनाजा ही क्या जिस तक पहुंचने खुद ख़्वाजा ना आया हो?
[spider-verse oc of “Spider-Girl”, wearing a combination of spider suit and anarkali dress, all in pink. the dress has a spiderweb and jasmine flower pattern on it. She has a dupatta made of webbing and sash around her waist, and she’s swinging on a web]
@mangomybeloved‘s Spider-Girl design! This was really fun to draw!!
It is my dream to sing "Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya"(roughly translates to why scared when in love) on stage with the pride flag and the trans flag on my chest as an ode to queer love; ALL kinds, NOT just romantic.
For the homosexuals and the bis and pans, for the trans people in love and intersex people and the aros and aces and enbys and EVERYBODY queer. Just long live queer love.
Be courageous in love is the basic spirit of this song.
For those who don’t speak Hindi, here’s an article -
When I said earlier that this movie was originally filmed in black and white, that was only mostly true. A few selected sequences, including this one, were filmed in color.
Anarkali's dancing outfit combines red, white, black, gold, and a soft sea-green. She wears red leggings under the filmy skirt so that her legs don't show when she twirls; you can just glimpse them in the picture where the skirt is swirling out. I wish we could get a better look at the decoration on the back of her bodice, as it looks quite elaborate.
