[The parting of our dear ones creates mixed reaction in us such that our longing for them defies the accepted norms in differentiating between our positive and negative emotions] My Love, My foe! ************* Those who have sense And not lost in any craze Have said- ‘The one who gives you love is the beloved The one who cause you pain is your enemy Both are never the same On their prey both cannot claim!’ Were you the one Who blessed me with love? Are you the one Who such agony give? O the pair of my heart O the coolness of my eyes Your memories of years is blown like a tent By the storm of separation lasting just a month So severe was the heat of your want I am no longer that once-fertile land Rains of joy shall dry in a moment The thirst sucks all from beneath Dream is a window to see in realty one’s wishes There is nothing dear to me than your presence But even in dream I am robbed of your face So pitiful is this wretched lover’s case Ah! My senses are going weak Although in youth I am at peak Forgive if my talk passes beyond reason Hold me not captive for acts of treason Reins of my mind are no longer with me Tears never show any respect towards me O my beloved who bathed me in love O my enemy who wounded my heart Draw closer to your lover and victim Resolve my pain or I have my revenge Be kind to this broken-hearted Be generous to this soul-shattered Time within walls of my room Is crawling like a hesitant worm Every moment I am counting If towards me are you coming Yet, my counting extends I only find your absence Name my cry as you please- Love or craze Possessive or Selfish Or a helpless man's weakness! Times five or more I pray, Yet night is as painful as day You too in your duas to Him say May your love's victim alive stay - Jaihoon http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/foe.htm |
