Those Wild Eyes

 Farrukh Ahmad

You can in a moment recognize those wild eyes

Whose signals created my dreams so long;

Restless and wild they are, sometimes blinkless and still;

They can tear off the mind’s cob-web in a moment.

That damsel with strong modesty has enormous treasures

In amazing wonder I find her eyes treacherous.

Every moment she darts arrows from her primitive look;

Her pleasures play wild in her beaming eyes.

You have not seen those glances; you only saw her strong modesty;

You only saw her cute chastising attitude as of a queen.

The night’s perfect stillness pervades through out her body;

You did not see the hidden luster; with strong determination

If you cross the limit, you would find her eyes adorned

With crowding starry words and crimson morn on her chin.
