Listen, O loveliest
Sweetheart of mine
Stay here today !
The table is laid
And glasses filled
For you, my love.
Your lovely face
Has kindled love,
O, my Leila !
Guls display their robes
To tell the bulbuls
What love means.
Stay a while with me,
And hear the plaint
Of a virtuous beauty.
How would the flower know
The bulbul's agony
And the longing of love.
Age may wither
My love-lore feline,
But my love won't age.
With pure adoration,
The dew made for you
A garland of pearls.
I am destined
To bear separation,
And burn in fire.
All my adornment
With an endless wait
Is wasted away.
Along with Mahjoor,
As promised I dropped
All conventional ties.
