Ghulam Ahmad Mahjoor Poems

I'll rock you in my arms !
O my pearl, do not forsake me.
...

You stole away with furtive gait,
O lover of flowers, my sweetheart !
...

Beholding your loveliness maddened me with longing.
How cruel you left me languishing with this desire !

Did you enter my bower of love just to put a spell
On my senses, taste my bloom and leave me in blight ?
...

I'm like a parrot enmeshed in your love,
O wild mynah, hear the song of my heart !
...

Sweetheart, stay a moment, and hear me speak.
I crave only to gaze at you - O stay !

Why be cross with me, why tear me apart ?
O, why drive me to immolate myself ?
...

Who stole my heart from far away ?
Bring back that youthful heart to me !

Like a bulbul trapped in a clapnet,
My heart is caught in a snare of curls.
...

Flower of Nishat Bagh,
Come with your graces,
Come with your laughter,
Come showering pearls !
...

Won't my beloved leave that frown?
And show his lovely face?
My bosom is consumed in the fire of love.
...

The garden is ablaze with diverse hues.
O bulbul, behold these flowers
In the assembled gorgeous court!
...

Bouquet from Beauty's everlasting garden,
Heemaal of Heaven or Caucassian fairy -
O peasant girl, what grace! What beauty!
...
