O Mistress Poem by Prof Niamat Ali Murtazai

O Mistress



O mistress! how swiftly you follow me,
In my house, on the way, in the bazaar
Walking in rain or under a thick tree
Nothing is near for you nothing far.

You come in my bed without any shame
You are my companion in my meals
You don't care for yourself nor my fame
You through to winds what any one feels.

You take books and stop me from reading
And ask me to go with you to dark forests
Helpless I am without my case pleading
You cherish my company without warm rests.

O wanton you come in my friends' company
And take seat with me in noisy canteen
And attract me like an evening rainy
Like charmer Hellen's sister in age teen.

I am also ravished with your sweet cheeks
Sweet lips and breasts are out of description
I am surprised each scholar your company seeks
And you visit them without hesitation.

I am divided what I should do now
Should I wait for you or shut my heart's door
Should I love you or take hatred's bow
To pierce in your white breast arrows four.

Then I would become completely lonely
Without rosy loneliness my Mistress
Ah she was my companion only.
Come Loneliness you are my dear Mistress!
