Not for Long Can She Un-love

Just as the Rose can’t ignore the Nightingale forever, the Beloved too can’t un-love her lover for long, argues Mujeeb Jaihoon.

For how long can the Rose
Ignore the Nightingale?

For how long can the Pearl
Abandon the Shell?

The clouds are heavy
Soon will they let go

Hence, not for long can she
Un-love her lingering lover

Neither the heart
Nor its beat
Nor its pain:
Remain in lovers’ rein
