| Ghazal Let the breeze pour colors into the waiting blossoms unlock the warehouses where those colors are stored Oh Love now return so the promised springtime may finally begin There is weeping in the prisons friends say something just speak today if only for the sake of God let her name pass through a cage From the corner of your lips let the dawn begin at least for once and let it be fragrant the night which will descend when you open your hair My heart is poor it needs no reminding but it holds all the wealth of longing on hearing your name I'll always return once again become the one to share your sorrow Whatever the pain I endured its every moment but Oh Night of Sorrow you weren't diminished my tears made sure you would remain a legend even in the afterlife She goes to the office of desires to see who's still listed in the ledger of lovers we are already there waiting our shirts ripped to threads in our hands those threads (proof that we were faithful) tied stubbornly into knots After farewell Oh Faiz nothing could hold you back nothing at any stop was worthy of desire from her street you walked straight to the district of executions you climbed the steps to the gallows lost yourself in the hangman's arms. |
