    Diwan-E-Zauq

    koi in tang-dahanon se mohabbat na kare

    Sheikh Ibrahim Zauq

    Let no one love those lips of cruel design, and offer no complaint; And when they bring distress, by word or sign, let them offer no complaint.

    My heart sees in love's scar a prophet's seal of grace; Let not this infidel then claim a prophet's place, and offer no complaint.

    For my wound, the only cure is dust of diamond bright; Let healing salves and stones bring it no light, and offer no complaint.

    A river from my tears flows with my every stride; Let not the path keep pace, or travel by my side, and offer no complaint.

    The dagger's tongue is wet with my blood to this day; Let no one ask for witness to this deadly play, and offer no complaint.

    He is the favored heir of some great master's art; Let no one else presume to play his sovereign part, and offer no complaint.

    The moth can't burn until the candle shows its flame; Let beauty lead the dance and first call out love's name, and offer no complaint.

    The killer walks again to where his lovers lie; Let him not raise a final doom upon the slain, and offer no complaint.
