In the ethereal world of promises br When God itself has resorted br In the fantasy of paradise br With houris beautiful br And seventy in number br Wine pure with divine intoxication br br Every day when I wake up br And every night when I go to sleep br In my fantasy and in my dream br And every moment br I am misled by new promises br br For tomorrow never comes br Tomorrow of your promise br With each day you steal my breath br The illusions of your love br That red corner of your scarf br That slipped from my face br In cold convulsions I am gripped br br Like bitten by rabid dog br Bring curls of your hair on my eyes br Like depth of the oceans and the rabid br Die of seeing waters it is said br In waiting though I lost my life br Never has it been that thou br Like the tree in the desert br I sighed in relief for the spring br In the oasis is just a mirage br br Far away from the dreams of your love br Nay not the star of your love br But dust unto your feet and if you had br In perfect illusion I make you bath br And let alone you complain of broken promises br br A habit to me then how you survive br In imaginations are broken promises known br Bring to me my life eternal br Like Khizr* lead me to the fountain eternal br For a kiss on your lips br br (Khizr* the invisible sage that leads to the fountain of eternity) br 12122008br br Sadiqullah Khanbr br
