By At thy gathering
Beyond extreme hardships, we reached in thy gathering,
Hiding the quest of the soul from all.
Possessed with a wish to meet thee.
A heart filled with thousands of hopes.
May the desire of heart be fulfilled!
Knowing not when thy veil be unveiled,
With the struck of lightning, everything shall be burnt.
Still, speechless when I met thee today,
Still, shackled by the circumstances.
I came in thy gathering with a strong desire,
I didn’t reckon, there the tongue will be locked,
We are also in thy Mahfal.
She spoke and spoke, but there was Pin dropping silence from me.
She came and went,
I was left with no options,
Why thou bend thy eyes, my beloved,
Go and go, but cast a glance to me also.
You can disappear from your eyes, not from the heart.
Thy memories will often make me restless.
Cast a glance at me before you leave,
For it is not fair in love.
Let me know thy heart-tale before you go,
How can I console my heart, heal my heart too?
A decade has passed I couldn’t catch thy glimpse at once.
A century has passed I couldn’t smile at once.
The death is at my doorstep,
Why so much anger now!
This is the last moment wave a good-bye.
Don’t sit down-casting!
The lifespan of the flower is too short,
But everyone does not experience it at all.
Though, I am in the garden,
A century passed without a smile.
The light is about to fall,
The moon is about to hide.
The night is about to pass,
The heart is still heavy.
Come O please come, my soul is exhausted to wait.
My eyes are burst with tears.
I have not seen thee for many days ago,
The eyes are fixed in your ways.
The heart is still hopeful.
Come Oh come now!
I have shed a light in my heart,
Hopeful that the nightfall, perhaps thou will come.
