I have been avoiding making this effort. I know exactly what to write, but I have been on another trip altogether…
In economics I read about this thing called ‘moral hazard’. I just wikipedia-fied it to recall what it meant 
… basically I wanted to use the term as an explanatory for my staying away from writing. In a twisted way I can apply the reasoning (in economics) to my own case, but these days I am finding it difficult to ‘play’ with words and ideas. It feels as if one is being dishonest, playing around like this!!
Why it’s happening?
Because I am trying to write lyrics for new songs. And this time, for a change, I’m making a conscious effort not to use words for the sake filling space or for the sake of making them rhyme. It’s god damn difficult you know!? … Someone very rightly said that bad habits die hard!
But then Ghalib also said: ‘Ghaib se aatay hain yeh mazameen khayaal mein…’ … ??? …. !!!! @$$^^$@
I am no Ghalib. And my ghaib is created in my own little universe, limited by the very little knowledge I have. … See I am doing it again!!??
Quite frustrating …:(
All this said, things are going good. Way better than before.
Can’t be more thankful. It’s good to be thankful … it makes us patient.
The rest is upto Ghaib! 
…
New post coming soon….

thank God ! your ghaibatt ( absence ) ended !;b and finally we got something new to read from your side !
I can only wish you best of luck …! and off course ‘ll keep praying that you get a great great help… and a muzmoon in your khayal … from “Ghaib” !
i think what you need is a khayal ( thought or idea or a way ! or may be urdu vocabulary ! ) to complete your muzmoon ( lyrics ) !

I believe what you have is some sort of alternative form of writer’s block. Sadly, I haven’t yet found a solution to it, so I can only wish you good luck=(

hamza remember that great pieces of art are not made by impulse but small pieces put together wonderfully and that does take time

Good.Waiting for the outcome.

I know how you feel. However I’m more of a story writer than a lyricist. I get writer’s block too and it sucks.
We want to write something great – and avoid writing something meaningless – so we continue to think and re-think what we want to write so much that it drives us crazy lol.
It’s quality not quantity, so its all good. Looking forward to hearing more of your lyrics and music

By the way, its interesting that ghaibat means absence in Urdu… cos it means absence in Arabic too. Sweet

i don’t why but I don’t think noori would be able to come up with good new stuff,since both the previous albums and even the latest track “do Dil” are taken from the old stuff Noori did.
