Raj Hansa Poem by Mohammad Younus

Friends! you will always see hope...
glittering in my eyes,
Hope sustains love, you must know,
He will not remain away for too long a time,
One day surely he will come and break open my door,
When he comes to see me, after a great break,
He will come sounding his harp on the day of lights,
He has done it so often before, trust me, he'll return soon,
To tell you the truth, this is his old habit,

I am not dismayed when the autumn falls,
For the spring days come again, time after time;
The full moon takes leave, and visits again,
The sunflower closes its face in the evening,
But in the morning blooms again,

Friends! keep the belief awhile; do not brush it away
with ungentle haste,
When I say: the Raj hansa will again come to my home,
And separate milk from my vessel for his drink,
I will give him my pearls to eat,
