Just Bliss

Even the stars move in your way now

Spending their nights in your dwelling;

In thy love I felt such mayhem that folk

Do not entitle me fanatic, but are scared;

Friendship with candle has cost me a lot

Knowing the fact, hitherto moths give life;

Moon night, parting and loneliness now

Let’s budge from urban to dwell in desert;

We have our own mores of making love,

Love the one, who we’ve  dispirited;

Blinking stars may be asked as to how

They change parting night into dawn?

I will remain faithful Ahmar, but

She spends her life in disloyalty

Syed Ahmar’s work translated by Tanveer Rauf
