The moment lovers overhear the mention of their Beloved, their hearts overwhelm with ecstacy unable to bear the bliss- writes Mujeeb Jaihoon

No sooner body heard the letter Meem
The soul swung in the air with Mmm

O Heaven’s Beloved!
Your evergreen thoughts make me crazy
Your praised name gives much ecstasy

Be it the spring of joy
Or the season of cry:

When arrives that blessed moment-
About you makes one a comment

My half-opened eyes then close
Unable to bear the brutal bliss

My lips then move at a moderate pace
‘Upon Muhammad be blessings and peace’
