A lover fears he may not be able to reciprocate his beloved’s love and worries about divine retribution— poetizes Mujeeb Jaihoon
Thinking about her one day
Jaihoon in his dream say:
“Ah! Why love me so much-
With tears my absence quench?
If I fail to return the same
I fear His Justice will hell-burn
Hey Tasbih!
Pray to your Merciful Rabb,
May I too in love rub.
The defeat in hate,
Is not hard to bear;
But to lose in love,
Is a matter to fear”
