NEIGHBORS, MY LOVER IS LEAVING

Urdu Poetry from Pakistan in Translation
Neighbors, my lover is leaving

What do I do now, O Lord

He doesn't stay, he's ready to go
What do I do now, O Lord

In my cold heart, a bulbul is rising
Is seeing forests in the wilderness
What do I do now, O Lord

Now Bulleh Shah without his lover
Is stranded at neither bank of the river
What does he do now, O Lord

Note: The original Urdu poem
of Bulleh Shah is here

(via sulekha)
