36 She Becomes A Goddess........

36  She Becomes A Goddess And Looks Divine


O when in the bar my refuge I seek
I see in the wine her rosy cheek

On the face of moon what appears a blot
Becomes on her cheek the beauty spot

She, like a candle, brightens my night
And being a moth I leap to her light

So when with her, I become all lust
And my prudence and reason, they all go bust

Of my love and lust she's the fountainhead
And she can also raise me from the dead

And in the locks and curls of her golden hair
My poor little heart she can surely snare

And SHAIDA says when she brings the wine
She becomes a goddess, and looks divine

Jaam maen dal kay rang e rukh e jaanaana diya
Daekho kaisa yeh mujhay baada e mustaana diya

Daagh say aek rukh e laala ki aaraaish ki
Khaal say aek saja aariz e jaanaana diya

Husn e aalam say banaya sham e mehfil us ko
Dil ko bhee aek meray jazba e perwaana diya

Aql e naaqis hi ager haq maen thi maeray ya Rab
Shukr taera keh mujhay ik dil e deewaana diya

Pass jab keh tha dam e Eesa e Maryam  us kay
Maeray attaaar ko kuin phir yeh dawakhaana diya

Qayd kernay ko kaha jab kham e gaisoo maen usay
Maen nay dil bhee diya, dil say usay shukraana diya

SHAIDA achchha kiya saaqi nay, bohat theek kiya
Naap kay, jaanch kay ger ik tujhay paimaana diya
