37 WE, THE LOVERS

      37  WE, THE LOVERS

O we’ll keep using the paper and pen
And will always maintain our regimen

And we’ll keep loving and feeling the pain
And never and never we’re going to complain

And the girls will always be cruel and cold
But they will maintain on us their hold

And we’ll be loving them more and more
And even their cruelty we’ll always adore

And we’ll keep also going to the bar
Because from the shrine it’s not too far

And we’ll keep bleeding from our eyes
But the dolls, who hurt us, we’ll never criticize

So we’ll always be loving and amorous
Though the dames will never care for us

                    URDU POEM
                    LOH O QALAM

Hum parwarish e loh o qalam kertay rahaen gay
Jo dil pay guzarti hay raqam kertay rahaen gay

Asbaab e gham e ishq baham kertay rahaen gay
Weeraani e douraan pay karam kertay rahaen gay

Haan talkhi e ayyaam abhee aur barhay gi
Haan ahl e sitam mashq e sitam kertay rahaen gay

Manzoor yeh talkhi, yeh sitam hum ko gawaara
Dam hay toe madaawa e alam kertay rahaen gay

Maikhaana salamat hay toe hum surkhi e mai say
Tazeen e dar o baam e haram kertay rahaen gay

Baaqi hay lahoo dil maen toe her ashk say paida
Rang e lab o rukhsaar e sanam kertay rahaen gay

Ik tarz e taghaaful hay toe wo un ko mubaarak
Ik asz e tamanna hay so hum kertay rahaen gay
