You say It is not love it is madness
My madness may be the cause of your fame
Sever not my relationship with you
If nothing then be my enemy
What is the meaning of notoriety in meeting me
If not in public court meet me alone

I am not my own enemy
So what if the stranger is in love with you
Whatever you are it is due to your own being
If this not known then it is ignorance
Life though fleets like a lightening flash
Yet it is abundant time to be in love

I do not want debate on the sustenance of love
Be it not love but another dilemma
Give something Oh biased One
At least the sanction to cry and plea
I will perpetuate the rituals Even if cruelty be your habit
Teasing and cajoling the beloved cannot leave Asad
Even if there is no union and only the desire remains
