Dewane Bahu Deewan E Bahu

(21)

[I say again and again that] these affairs [of Ishq] are difficult,

You have to sadden your heart too much,

As long as the soil of heart has not become fit for that [Beloved],

Then how will the [Flowers of Spring of Wasal] bloom from the earth [of heart]?

My heart slipped from my hand [and] my soul got destroyed [also],

When I saw the silky fibers of His long hair [twisting] like snakes.

Nothing in world fits exactly to the desire of any person [in world],

Then what will get of it these single-minded fervent Aashiqeen?

O friend! Life should be showered on [this Beloved],

I have seen no other choice except to immolate life!
