Poetry

I don’t care if you maltreat me or promise to unveil your beauty,
I just want something unbearable to test my fortitude




Let the God fearing people be dwelling in the paradise,
For, instead I want to be face to face with you.
( I don’t want to go to paradise but want to observe the Divine Beauty)


O fellows, I am here for a few moments, as a gust,
Like morning star I will fade and vanish in a few moments.


I disclosed the secret in public,


I need to be punished for being so rude.
