Candle's Story How Can I Tell?




Candle’s story how can I tell?



Of the broken heart’s living hell?



My sorrow is in how I can find



Another who knows these sorrows well.




Let not your thoughts constantly be fought,



Let thoughts in patience and joy be caught.



What patience? Cause what they call the heart



Is a drop of blood, and a thousand thought.




Don’t let go of the cup’s lips
Till you receive your worldly tips.
Bittersweet is the world’s cup
From lover’s lips and the cup sips.


If like me, you too fall in this trap,
Hold the wine and cup upon your lap.
We are the lovers, burning our tracks,
Join us, if you can put up with the crap.

Roodaad-E-Gham-E-Ulfat Unse, Hum Kya Kehte, Kyonkar Kahate?
Ek Harf Na Nikla Hothon Se Aur Aankh Mein Aansoo Aa Bhi Gaye ...
Uss Mehfil-E-Kaif-o-Masti Mein, Uss Anjuman-E-Irfani Mein
Sab Jaam-Ba-Kuff Baithe Hi Rahe, Hum Pee Bhi Gaye - Chalka Bhi Gaye .

"lips and the cup sips..."reminded me of that. It's a scene from movie "Pyasa" Majaz renders this.
