51 They Come Back As Flowers

51  They Come Back As Flowers


They come back as flowers after they die
Or become they stars in the nightly sky

In showing everyone their charm and grace
These beautiful girls are never very shy

But show they never any sympathy
When the lovers without them cry and cry

And when these guys are about to die
They wouldn’t even come to say good-bye

They don’t understand a word they hear
No matter how much their lovers try

And when these fellows try to complain
Any wrongdoing these girls deny

And tell they SHAIDA that he’s getting old
And that chasing girls he can’t justify

Wo ho kay laala o nasreen o arghawaan niklay
Hoie jo raat toe bun ker wo kehkashaan niklay

Parinizhaad thay jitnay hamaari dunya maen
Wo ja kay khaak maen daekho kahaan, kahaan niklay

Khuda kay waastay aa ker mujhay tassali do
Na taa keh tan say meri jaan e naatawaan niklay

Na chaaho kerni ager tum meri maseehaaie
Toe aa’o phir bhee keh aaraam say yeh jaan niklay

Samajhta baat hay koie, na koie sunta hay
Haen ajnabi meray kaisay yeh humzabaan niklay

Na gham ki taab kisie maen, na raazdaar koie
Haen kitnay khaam yeh yaaraan e nuktadaan niklay

Tumhaaray ishq ka charcha hay ja ba ja SHAIDA
Samajhtay peer thay hum, tum barhay jawaan niklay
