Jab Allah Ne Jannat Banwaya

As if all forgetting from my mind had fled

As though the surma which I put on my eyelids was red

I saw you in my dream again last night

And woke up to cry until my eyes had bled

The crimson of a hundred legions did scrape from my vest

The pain of my heart squeezed pulp from it’s chest

The essence of it’s juice like the poison of a snake

On the one hand it’s bite kills whilst on the other it saves

Causing misfortune for some

Whilst for others it behaves

The young silver of spring left the fortress hold

With summer flowers waving a sword of gold

I am nothing but an arrow that has been expelled into space

With no second daylight or delay do I return here to you

Else I tremble with shame my Queen

Shame in the presence of God

Whose hand is always in yours

When He designed paradise

With all of it’s ruby floors

Those clear pearled gates

And all their emerald doors

When he created the gardens your image first sprang to mind

The breeze danced in the morning of love’s true tale to find

Ham sab ki jo dua thi - use sun liya gaya

Phulon ki tarah aap ko bhi chun liya gaya
