19 O Give Me Back My Peace Of Mind

19  O Give Me Back My Peace Of Mind

O give me back my peace of mind
This love is nothing but a terrible grind

I want no eye with a deadly dart
To jab, and stab, and wound my heart

I want no lips with a lovely smile
To bait my heart, and charm, and beguile

I don't want a girl even to feign
And make me feel I’m loved again

I do not want to again be young
And let my heart be stung and stung

I’m now too old to bear the pain
And worry my head about loss and gain

In short, my sins I’d like to atone
And I only wish, SHAIDA, to be left alone

Diljammiat gawaan na ho jaa’ay
Taur e dil phir fughaan na ho jaa’ay

Abroo o chashm ka teri qissa
Zikr e teer o kamaan na ho jaa’ay

Murh kay huns huns kay daekhhna taera
Zabt ka imtahaan na ho jaa’ay

Waqt e peeri  na khhail yuin dil say
Yeh kaheen phir jawaan na ho jaa’ay

Dillagi say teri kaheen dil ko
Dil  lagi ka gumaan na ho jaa’ay

Aakhri waqt maen kaheen jaa ker
Fikr e sood o ziaan na ho jaa’ay

Hirs e koan o makaan maen SHAIDA
Ghaafil e laamakaan na ho jaa’ay
