Mysteries of a Love-soaked Heart

Wine fell unconscious and the Cup shattered into pieces as the Rose smiled blushing when a Lover lingered at Medina- writes Mujeeb Jaihoon

I became the envy of angels
Hoors lined up for a glimpse

I became the talk
Of the cosmos
Moon and stars
Vied for my light

Wine fell unconscious
Cup shattered into pieces

Rose smiled blushing
Nightingale cried with joy

I know not the secret
What cause this tumult?

Perhaps my heart
Had love-soaked well
In the Zamzam
Of Medina’s Spring
