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’
