How can I take off my eyes from your luminous face? Because I see my Creator through you I long to have your sight, my spiritual master &cause in your countenance I see Allah and His Prophet Your name is my rosary To worship you is our dedication Your face is like the House of God, reflection of Ka'bah My mystical love for you is a unique affliction No physician has the cure for it But you' You're the only remedy for my agony My Beloved is my faith; my Ka'bah His eyes are God's eyes Uncontested I remain even though I look at you endlessly I long to keep looking at you unendingly If my Beloved is not before me, then the prayer offered is a waste To see your refulgent face is like a Pilgrimage to me And to keep looking at the glowing sight Is my prayer? You airs and graces overwhelm me The prayers missed can be re-said when you sit before me My desire is to have your sight before me forever Don't turn away from me, sit and meet my glances Do not veil your face Let me, the deprived, have your sight Today I want to see you to my heart's content Unveil yourself and sit before me Your visit is casual, for God's sake Stay Let's open our heart to each other I've cried so much that no tears are left Even the count of the stars has Exhausted Let someone go and ask him why he has stopped visiting me? Come my friend, the glow of my eyes is waiting for you Your separation from me has tormented and agonised me My hope of survival rests on your sight I don't have even a moment's rest without you 0 graceful, come to me, I feel like exchanging glances with you Come with your dazzling beauty I like to prostrate before you I feel like dying today Come and undo your serpentine locks of hair Inflict more wounds on those who are already wounded in love Cut the distances, come close to me Let's reveal each other's woes, as I desire The most handsome are not short of grace they do not care because they are careless in thought 0 my Beloved, today I feel like receiving the darts of glances to pierce my body Intoxicate me with your love for the sake of your love-drunk eyes. Make me pine by hurting me for the sake of your airs and graces Your sight is my prayer When you are before me only then can I enjoy the prayer Whenever I pray and prostrate you should be before me Rafique's eternal prayer is to die at the feet of the beloved and when I open my eyes in the grave I want the beloved before me To sit with you are my worship and never to leave your company because I see God in you You are mine and I want to be yours eternally and if need be I'll snatch you from the Rest of the world I'll hide you in my eyes because I see God in you I'll pray for your beauty to be everlasting if you throw a glance at me I'll be fulfilled If I meet my beloved I'll sing at his feet because in him I see God |
