Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya Parts I & II — Page 31
PART ONE منکه از حسنش همی دارم خبر جان فشانم گر دہر دل دیگرے Being cognizant of his charm, I readily give him my life, While others only offer him their hearts. ہر زمان مستم کند از ساغری یاد آن صورت مرا از خود برد The thought of his countenance sends me into trans- ports of ecstasy; A drink from his goblet keeps me forever intoxicated. می پریدم سوئے کوئے او مدام من اگر میداشتم بال و پرے If only I had wings and pinions, I would keep flying towards his court. لاله و ریحان چه کار آید مرا من سرے دارم باں روے وسرے Of what use are tulips and sweet basil to me, For I am in love with that countenance and that being. خوبی او دامن دل می کشد موکشانم می برد زور آورے His beauty pulls at the strings of my heart, And attracts me like a powerful magnet. در اثر مهرش چو مہر انورے دیده ام کوہست نور دیده ها I have seen that he is the light of the eyes, And his love is as warming as the rays of the sun. 31
