25  JUST SIT AND ADMIRE THE BEAUTY OF MOON

O with your gal if you cannot commune
Just sit and admire the beauty of moon

And if you cannot see her beautiful face
Go feast your eyes on a flower’s grace

And if you’re feeling very, very sad
Go tell the preacher and he’ll be glad

Or sit in the rain under the dark sky
And like the clouds just cry and cry

Or sit, and think, and philosophize
About your love as an enterprise

And tell your heart to not despair
For it’ll be best to grin and bear

And your story of love, you go and tell
To everyone who wants a beautiful belle

           
                        URDU POEM
          MARG E SOAZ E MOHABBAT

Aao keh marg e soaz e mobabbat manaaen hum
Aao keh husn e maah say dil ko jalaaen hum

Khush houn firaaq e qaamat o rukhsaar e yaar say
Sarv o gul o saman say nazar ko sataaen hum

Weeraani e hayaat ko weeraantar karaen
Lay naseh aaj tera kaha maan jaaen hum

Phir oat lay kay daaman e abr e bahaar ki
Dil ko manaaen hum kabhee aansoo bahaaen hum

Suljhaaen baidili say yeh uljhay kuay sawaal
Waan jaaen ya na jaaen, na jaaen keh jaaen hum

Phir dil ko pass e zabt ki talqeen ker chukaen
Aur imtahaan e zabt say phir ji churaaen hum

Aao keh aaj khatm hui daastaan e ishq
Ab khutam e aashqi kay fasaanay sunaaen hum
