I am walking deeper into my heart

to make you a witness of my art

Please be seated

This place is sacred

Welcome to my Divaan

Where

earth and sky

Intermarry

Where

fire and water

coexist

This is a tavern

Called Divaan E Ishq

Where lovers enter

To birth from within

I wouldn’t dare to grant you privy

Into my inner sanctuary

Where all here is soul intimacy

Where we wine and dine

While oud and lute

Set the stage

For tonite’s secret pursuit

Laila’s glance is

Is what you seek

Now dance with her as she speaks

Let the guests gaze and mingle

In what we call Hallaj’s Ensemble
