My severed tongue had served to second hers berating my butchered heart as dross
In Hurt's howl, how assay the elegiac, or in Suicide, foul, Art as Loss?
That she heavier scowl, my head spins like an owl
Into fight's ring, flyte's towel to toss
In Hurt's howl, how assay the elegiac, or in Suicide, foul, Art as Loss?
That she heavier scowl, my head spins like an owl
Into fight's ring, flyte's towel to toss
To my despair divide, whomsoever I draw
So defamed for consuming it raw
A tongue of fire, Grief must sire
Or burn up Love in its craw!
So defamed for consuming it raw
A tongue of fire, Grief must sire
Or burn up Love in its craw!
Hearing the Heavens thunder over its natal heath
Only the caged bird can attest
How, as forked as Fate's Lightning sheath
Longing obliterates its nest
Only the caged bird can attest
How, as forked as Fate's Lightning sheath
Longing obliterates its nest

kisī ko de ke dil koʾī navā-sanj-e fiġhāñ kyūñ ho
nah ho jab dil hī sīne meñ to phir muñh meñ zabāñ kyūñ ho
vuh apnī ḳhū nah chhoṛeñge ham apnī vaẓʿa kyūñ chhoṛeñ
subuk-sar ban ke kyā pūchheñ kih ham se sar-girāñ kyūñ ho
kiyā ġham-ḳhvārī ne rusvā lage āg is muḥabbat ko
nah lāve tāb jo ġham kī vuh merā rāz-dāñ kyūñ ho
qafas meñ mujh se rūdād-e chaman kahte nah ḍar hamdam
girī hai jis pah kal bijlī vuh merā āshiyāñ kyūñ ho
