Daamun Chupa Kar Jo Tum Nikley Ho ………

Daamun chupa kar jo tum nikley ho

iss dil pey vaar karkey !

(After delivering a blow to my heart you have

ran my love, covering your frame/bodice/lap!)

Aye they tum aye Saqi,

Wasl ki aas dey key !

(With a promise /incitement of union

you came to me Oh Cup Bearer! )

Khambakht they hum

key bhool gey Hussain!

(And Lo how cursed you are !

that you forgot Hussain!)

Ye siraf qabz kar tey hey roohon ko

ganeeh zulfo ka chaoon dey key !

(They only reap the souls of  poor men

with the shadow of their lush black hair )

A drunkard of my lover’s soul!

 

i search for silence

I search for serenity in hidden glades and fins!

I search for the  peace , for the solitude

that poured in me from the cup of my beloved’s flesh !

For

I found myself , under the canopy of her raven hair

For

I became “One”  from the  intoxication of her fragrant soul !

Now I roam,

the ends of the earths

a hermit of love

a drunkard of my lovers soul !

 

 

 

Ghosts of our tantric embrace….

The murky current  of air outside my window reflects

the image seen through the window in my heart !

For it is as  cloudy and stormy as this winter night !

As cold and bitter and full of ghosts of vapour and light!

And the chilling breeze whistles haunting tunes

melodies sweet but tinged with frost

for they are reminders of the hymnary penned

by the  beat of our united heart !

And the dew clings on to

every surface

every plane!

Awakening the ghost of

our tantric embrace

the moulding of souls

the de=solution of  our very beings !

Until all that remained was the memory of

our love, our passion and flame

engraved into the cognitive plains of my brain !
