Those who have sense
And not lost in any craze
Have said-
‘The one who gives you love is the beloved
The one who cause you pain is your enemy
Both are never the same
On their prey both cannot claim!’
Were you the one
Who blessed me with love?
Are you the one
Who such agony give?
O the pair of my heart
O the coolness of my eyes
Your memories of years is blown like a tent
By the storm of separation lasting just a month
So severe was the heat of your want
I am no longer that once-fertile land
Rains of joy shall dry in a moment
The thirst sucks all from beneath
Dream is a window to see in realty one’s wishes
There is nothing dear to me than your presence
But even in dream I am robbed of your face
So pitiful is this wretched lover’s case
Ah! My senses are going weak
Although in youth I am at peak
Forgive if my talk passes beyond reason
Hold me not captive for acts of treason
Reins of my mind are no longer with me
Tears never show any respect towards me
O my beloved who bathed me in love
O my enemy who wounded my heart
Draw closer to your lover and victim
Resolve my pain or I have my revenge
Be kind to this broken-hearted
Be generous to this soul-shattered
Time within walls of my room
Is crawling like a hesitant worm
Every moment I am counting
If towards me are you coming
Yet, my counting extends
I only find your absence
Name my cry as you please-
Love or craze
Possessive or Selfish
Or a helpless man's weakness!
Times five or more I pray,
Yet night is as painful as day
You too in your duas to Him say
May your love's victim alive stay
