love is beyond jealous
of every love claimant
I warn every Ashiq & Mashuq
keep your love silent
as love is jealously listening
she banishes all suspects
to the heartless desert
into cellars unknown
into bottomless wells
keep your most prized love secret
reveal not I revealed this
I pray she was asleep
while I scripted this secret
burn this letter after your eyes
drink every letter
engrave this secret upon thy heart
and keep it a secret forever untold
between you and Laila
