If Love is a crime

Hirayat Noor 1982 (karachi)



If Love is a crime
I will do it many times
Who says , Its a loss of time
For me ,Its melodious rhyme.

Here silver tears and golden sighs
soft torments and bitter joy
Here weep to laugh again
Here me to part again

Here autumn is evergreen
Its victim are pale and lean
Here life bears living death
cancerous sores encloses breath

Here they cut mercy with knife
separates a man with darling wife
Here sirens cry on sleepy minds
Day sleeps and night reminds
Oh love is a crime
Its a loss of time
Now turn your mind
To another shrine
