  • Beloved! I'Ve Made For You Many A Lovely Thing Poem by Ghulam Ahmad Mahjoor

  •  Beloved! I'Ve Made For You Many A Lovely Thing

    Beloved! I've made for you many a lovely thing -

    Wine cups fashioned out of jessamine petals,

    Enchanting tales woven from your short breath or two

    (which is all your speech to hint a yes or no) ,

    Pearls strapped from rain drops coming down

    When my ardour soared up the sky as a cloud,

    Fields of flowers smiling where it was desolate land -

    Made desolate, in fact, by these very hands of mine!

    I came to taste life's nectar but, enslaved by illusion,

    Wove my own thoughts as chains to fetter me.

    I learnt about the saqi's new wine of motherland,

    For which I fashioned new bowls with an ardent passion!

    Those times are gone when you could beg, beseech and get!

    I donned the robe of pride, with no hem for supplication.

    Justice till now was to be had as freely as the air.

    I set up shops in every street to have it freely sold!

    Many a covetous man was enticed with liberal sweets,

    And many a simple soul with visions of the hereafter!

    I adore the company of friends - all my brothers!

    That's why, despite my faith, I've built a temple at home.

    Mahjoor, I've set up shops for your wine in every place,

    For it restores to sobriety those who've got drunk!

    Ghulam Ahmad Mahjoor
