A Desire

Aamir Khan 1992 (Jammu and kashmir)



Come,be my love and we shall have some summers again
  The beauty of sunshine and the showers of rain

  In the valleys strange and unknown
   Between the butterflies and silkworm's cocoon

   Under the canopy blue and endless
  Across the oceans deep and tasteless

 The dance of peafowl and the melodies of koel
  Lavish green meadows and the fragrance of soil

   The hops of grasshopers and the croaks of frogs
  and the sober eyes of your's under that dense fog

  Those sweet whines in bright crystal glasses
  I miss those days and regret those passes

  Come back O'beloved and dance with me in the rain
  Quench the thirst of my soul and relieve my pain
