18 I Want To Be Hit By A Thunderbolt

18  I Want To Be Hit By A Thunderbolt


Oh, since I’ve fallen in love with a gal
My friend is sorrow, and pain my pal

But she’s my idol, my goddess divine
And if I’m sinning, then it's just fine

Night after night I feel her lack
And like her curls my nights are black

And oft in my soul I feel a revolt
And I want to be hit by a thunderbolt

I can’t even drink a glass of wine
And not see in it her image divine

And then I feel so terribly blue
That I want to try a little voodoo

And if it’d make her a little more kind
Living with my rivals I do not mind

So, SHAIDA, this loving is not any fun
It has no rhyme; it has no reason

Aah bhartay haen; waah kertay haen
Ik pariwash say chaah kertay haen

Poojtay but haen; Mugh pay mertay haen
Kaisay, kaisay gunaah kertay haen

Zulf e shabrang ki hawas maen aur
Shab e hijraan siyaah kertay haen

Bijliaan is pay jab naheen girteen
Khud hi kharman tabaah kertay haen

Meher e saaqiaan e mehmash say
Jaam e mai mehr o maah kertay haen

Toatkay ker kay; phoonk kay munter
Un kay hum dil maen raah kertay haen

Ik jhalak un ki daekhnay kay liay
Dushmanoun say nibaah kertay haen

Jo bhee kertay haen aap aey SHAIDA
Baisabab, khaamkhaah kertay haen
