Beloved, how I yearn for
you
Like the yemberzal for
her bee !
These eyes have always
ached for you
Ever since I bloomed.
O graceful tree, all abloom
With many a bright-hued
flower !
Wouldn't the sight of the
myriad blooms
Madden me with desire ?
Being genteel, I stood away,
Trying to hide love's surging
waves;
But the arrow of your glance
gave me
A wound that'll never heal
!
O my elusive sweetheart,
How I always pine for you,
How every fibre of my being
Burns with the fire of
love !
You are in dalliance with
others,
While my companions are
my tears.
Since I daren't move out
in daytime,
I'll search for you at
night.
Which fortunate soul has
your heart ?
Could she be one like me
?
Which masval holds you
captive
Out of jealousy of me ?
O come to my gatch - plastered
room,
Where a carpet's spread
for you,
And let me weep into your
bosom,
Enfolded in your arms !
What made you fall for other
dames ?
Which pale yellow rose
Cunningly cast a spell
on you
To have you in her arms
? Paying homage to beauty,
Mahjoor
Makes this pledge to his
friend:
'It's you and you alone
That can claim my ardent
passion !
