21  If Only, Darling, You’ll Give Them A Chance


Their hearts around you will dance and dance
If only, darling, you’ll give them a chance

You know, your lovers when you come to meet
Their hearts they all put under your feet

And when it comes and plays with your hair
Oh, how much they envy the morning air

And even to preachers when it brings your scent
They feel such lust, they start to repent

And when you leave saying, “God be with you”
They can’t do without you; without God they can do

And when they’re crying and you complain
They feel like saying, “Then don’t give us pain”

But SHAIDA thinks it is such a scandal
When pain and sorrow the lovers can’t handle

Saw jaan say aey jaanaan yeh tum pay fida hota
Is dil ko mager tum nay mauqaa toe diya hota

Dargaahoun maen, daeroun maen aateen wo kharaamaan ger
Jo dil bhee wahaan hota, qadmoun pay gira hota

Hoti na kabhee mujh ko aashuftasari itni
Zulfoun maen na too un ki ger dast e saba hota

Yuin chal kay hawa aaie hay koocha e jaanaan say
Waaiz bhee ager hota, barbaad e hawa hota

Jaldi say kaha aisi kuin tum nay Khuda haafiz
Kya paas jo tum hoteen haafiz na Khuda hota

Thi baar tab e naazuk per aah ager aisie
Anbaar e alam itna dil ko na diya hota

Paimaana e dil maen jab thi ja na jafaaoun ki
Paimaan e wafa, SHAIDA, tum nay na kya hota
