11 UNDER THE STARS

11  UNDER THE STARS


Under the stars in a moonlit night
A heart is there, so full of desire
And there’s a face so fair and bright
With eyes that yearn with heart to conspire

A body so full of youth and vigor
Knowing the passion but not its rigor
A budding flower bursting with scent
Much like a bomb that needs no trigger

An elegant figure so tall and slim
Steeped in beauty and filled to the brim
Yearning and longing for a lover’s hand
Sometimes happy, sometimes grim

This lovely doll, so fair and white
Much like moon so shiny and bright
Under the stars in a moonlit night
Waiting for a lover is quite a sight


                      URDU POEM

                    TEH E NAJOOM

Teh e najoom kaheen chaandni kay daaman maen
Hujoom e shoaq say ik dil hay baiqaraar abhee
Khumaar e khaab say labraiz ahmereen aankhaen
Sufaid rukh pay pareeshaan umbereen aankhaen

Jhalak rahi hay jawaani her ik bun e moo say
Rawaan ho barg e gul e tar say jaisay sael e shameem
Zia e meh maen damakta hay rang e pairaahan
Ada e ijz say aanchal urha rahi hay naseem

Daraaz qad ki lachak say gudaaz paida hay
Ada e naaz say rang e niyaaz paida hay
Udaas aankhoun maen khamoash iltijaaen haen
Dil e hazeen maen kaie jaanbalab duaaen haen

Teh e najoom haheen chaandni kay daaman maen
Kisi ka husn hay masroof e intazaar abhee
Kaheen khayaal kay aabaadkerda gulshan maen
Hay aek gul keh hay naawaaqif e bahaar abhee
