23 Yes, Go, My Love, But Before You Go

23  Yes, Go, My Love, But Before You Go


Yes, go, my love, but before you go
Just look at your lover, and see his woe

And look at the gloom and see the blight
And see his day, how it’s dark as night

Look how he suffers, and how he ails
And how he cries, and moans, and wails

Look how his sky has always a cloud
And see how lonely he feels in a crowd

And how he copes with pain and sorrow
And how his night has never a morrow

But seeing his ardor you won’t regret
For you haven’t seen, darling, anything yet

And when he dies, it’s quite a show
He turns and tosses so to and fro

And though SHAIDA says he’s not perfect
Look how in your love he has lost respect

Ager jaatay ho jaao, per Khuda ra daekhtay jaao
Kiya hay haal kya tum nay hamaara, daekhtay jaao

Rahi hay raat he tum bin andhairi kuchh naheen maeri
Hua hay din maen bhee kaisa andhaira, daekhtay jaao

Zara thhaieo, mareez e ishq ko taskeen do kuchh toe
Sanbhalnay do iasy, is ka sanbhaala daekhtay jaao

Hay tanhaaie maen tanha aaj dil, per aek din tanha
Yeh hangaamoun maen bhee reh ker rahay ga, daekhtay jaao

Judaaie maen sawaira daer say hota hay, per ik din
Subeh dam bhee na ho ga kuchh sawaira, daehtay jaao

Naheen daekhay haen kuchh bhee tum nay, aey jaan, walwalay is kay
Abhee kerta hay yeh dil aur kya kya, daekhtay jaao

Tarhap ker, tarhparha ker, toarhna bismil ka dam daekho
Hay ger shouq e tamaasha, yeh tamaasha daekhtay jaao

Hua tum ko jo, SHAIDA, shaahid e bazaar ka sauda
Karay ga yeh sar e bazaar ruswa, daektay jaao
