Love & Pain ishaq & Dird



Jain dil ishq khareed na keeta,
So dil dard na jaane hoo.
Khunse khusre har koee aakhe,
Kaun kahe mardaane hoo.
Galeeaan wich phiran arbele,
Jion danger deevaane hoo.
Mard namard tadaaheen khulsan,
Jad aashiq banhsan gaane hoo.
-
Hearts that have not struck the bargain of love
Cannot know the pangs of longing.
They will always be labelled spiritually impotent.
Who will consider them ‘men of God’?
Aimlessly they roam the alleyways of life,
Like cattle dumb and stupid.
When lovers tie the wrist bands of commitment*
Before entering the arena of love,
It will be clear who is a man of God And who a mere pretender.
*
(In some parts of India it is the custom to tie wrist bands on those entering battle).
