-
Beloved, your lithe grace
maddens me - my heart
-
Brimming over with love and longing !
-
-
Your arch glance, O thief of love,
-
Makes me love you to distraction !
-
-
Who really has your heart - friends you feed
-
On promises, or those on whom you lavish your
time ?
-
-
Some have sought retreat in distant nooks,
-
Some roam over every mountain range,
-
Seeking you, following your elusive shadow !
-
-
Leave this hostile place, my love, and settle
down
-
Where you always ought to be - a village of friends
!
-
-
The early breeze approached the flowers,
-
Feather-touched them in soft and shadowy waves,
-
Presenting your demand for love !
-
-
Mahjoor finds whole villages
-
Loud in praise of your beauty;
-
And the deep forests too, my love,
-
Are breathless in your praise !
