52 O Let Me See You Once In A While

52  O Let Me See You Once In A While


O let me see you once in a while
And let me have that beautiful smile

I do not say, don’t see my foes
But please, my love, don’t be so close

Your flirting with them I do not mind
But why to me you’re so very unkind?

Estranged that you’re, let no one know
And try to maintain the status quo

And so that people do not suspect
Don’t me in public please neglect

I wish you’d  come and with your face
Light up this dark and dingy place

And give a smile while looking at me
And see this SHAIDA’s ecstasy

Jalwa apna aey meri jaan dikhaatay rahiay
Taab e rukhsaar say is dil ko jalaatay rahiay

Theek ghairoun say toe hay aap ka milna julna
Mujh say bhee aa kay mager miltay milaatay rahiay

Daekhiay bazm maen aghiaar ko chaahay jitna
Thorhi mujh say bhee walay aankh larhaatay rahiay

Raaz ranjish ka na khul jaay kaheen loagoun per
Gahay gahay mujhay mehfil maen bulaatay rahiay

Ho sakay ger toe raqeeboun ko dikhaanay kay liay
Pass upanay bhee mujhay aap bithhaatay rahiay

Roo e rakhshaan say dil e zaar farozaan keejay
Aur umeedoun ki shamaen aa kay jalaatay rahiay

Daekh ker murh kay kabhee, huns kay kabhee SHAIDA  ko
Phool us kay dil e weeraan maen khhilaatay rahiay
