From the story of Noah in the Quran and Bible to Utnapishtim in the Epic of Gilgamesh , humanity has been telling the same dramatic story for thousands of years: the world ends… and a few survive. But here’s the twist: this isn’t just a Middle Eastern idea. In India, Manu is warned of a great flood and builds a boat to preserve life. In ancient Persia, Yima creates a protected sanctuary to survive a deadly winter. In China, Yu the Great doesn’t escape disaster; he solves it, controlling floods through sheer effort and innovation. Travel across the globe, and the pattern continues. Indigenous American stories speak of floods that reset the world, like the tale of Nanabozho recreating land with the help of animals. In Australia, the Rainbow Serpent shapes rivers and landscapes through powerful floods. So why do these stories exist everywhere?

1. I wrote these verses back in 2012–13, during a time filled with emotional turbulence. It was right after a breakup, a chaotic phase when everything felt uncertain. The pain and confusion naturally spilled into my writing. The verses are in Urdu, so those unfamiliar with the language might not catch the full meaning. That said, I believe the music itself speaks a universal language—one that transcends words.
2. The piece I’m sharing now was written earlier this year, quite spontaneously. I penned a few couplets myself, and two were co-written with ChatGPT (yes, a bit of human–AI collaboration!). I then uploaded it to Suno.ai, added a thoughtful prompt, and the result turned out beautifully, exactly how I had imagined it. When I sent it to a friend, his first reaction was simply, “Wah!” (meaning “Wow!”). So, I think you’ll enjoy it too. Give it a listen.
3. I also wrote another set of verses around 2015–16, though I can’t recall the exact time. I was still in that lingering emotional state, trying to make sense of repeated heartbreaks. Those lines capture the sorrow and melancholy of that period. One of my favorite verses from that time goes: “The wheel of time has turned fast, yet the dust still rises on the path of love.” Even after all these years, that line resonates deeply with me. It’s a reflection not only of love and loss but also of how time keeps moving faster, leaving only traces of what once was.
