Intoxicating Glances

Even the sight of those who witnessed the moon-lit face of the Beloved Rasool will sweep the senses of the onlookers- writes Mujeeb Jaihoon

My heart is a fish:
You are the lake where it swims.

My heart is a flower:
You are its garden.

My heart is a fly:
You are its honey-jar.

My heart is the seasons:
You are its Spring.

My heart is a chest:
You turn it into treasure.

Is my heart
Even a heart,
If it beats not
For your sweet love?

You are my wine-shop
In an age of tasteless
‘Tech-wines’.

Intoxicated am I,
Even by the eyes
That glanced at you.

Protect me, my Master,
From the bitter forces
That con my conscience
And don the no-Love science.
