WINE BEARER
MATLOOB BOKHARI
O wine bearer
O wine-bearer! brighten my cup with your reflection
Your face’s reflection in cup is sweeter than my wine
O moon of the glorious night,listen
In the lonely, silent blue room
You are my only single candle light,
In the middle of Sahara desert high noon
You are cool morning breeze, a lovely pearly drop
O breath of my life!
Walk amidst rose garden in a ruby dress
Where perfume unlocks your long locks
Darker than thick dark clouds in the sky
O my sweet friend
Tell me tale of love of immortal Waris Shah
Lord of immortal verses in the halls of eternity,
Sing hymn of peace with twinkling stars
Teach forgiveness to wolves with your smile
Spread love with the light of your gentle look
Pray for dawn with the sounds of midnight
I am your insane lover, logic laughs at me
Natasha Nabokov Oh, so sweet of you. Thank you for the pleasure of your verses. You are like my first love Tagore, gently and drunkenly adorable
