Tonight

Tonight do not pluck the chords of pain
All the days of suffering are concluded
Who knows the news of tomorrow?
Blurred are the lines between past and future
Who knows if another day will dawn?
Life is nothing! Apart from this night!
Divinity is possible! On this night!

Tonight do not pluck the chords of pain
Do not repeat tales about the cries of grief
Do not be in mourning over your destiny
Remove fear of the future from the heart
Do not be tearful over the life past
Do not ask for stories about the time of sorrow
Do not ask, all the complaining is done
Tonight do not pluck the chords of pain.

( my translation of a poem by Faiz Ahmed Faiz ).

Kismet

Some people call it Fate, other’s Destiny
Some say it is Written, other’s Mystery
A billion to one to be in the same place
A million to one to glance at each other’s face
Time stood still as the cards were dealt
A choir of angels sang how our hearts felt
The stars were lined up in a certain way
The gods decreed we would meet this day.

Our eyes met
Kismet
Our hearts met
Kismet
Our lips met
Kismet.

Our journey in love has just started
The caravan of love has departed
True love will bloom and flower
Who could have foretold this hour?

Our eyes met
Kismet
Our hearts met
Kismet
Our lips met
Kismet.

Your almond eyes, sweet lips of wine
Your electric thighs, perfume so divine
Your smile, a poet’s dream come true
Heaven on earth just for me and you
And to think we met by chance
Our fate was sealed with a glance
The stars were lined up in a certain way
The gods decreed we would meet this day.

Our eyes met
Kismet
Our hearts met
Kismet
Our lips met
Kismet.

It’s Just a Matter Of Time

It’s just a matter of time
Before I make you mine
It’s just a matter of time
Before our hearts entwine
It’s just a matter of time
Before I kiss your lips of wine
It’s just a matter of time
Before we make love divine
It’s just a matter of time.

From the moment we first met
You felt your heart was under threat
You tried to seek refuge
You resorted to subterfuge
You were playing hard to get
Knowing your resistance would melt
You covered your tracks leaving no signs
But I could read between the lines.

It’s just a matter of time
Before I make you mine
It’s just a matter of time
Before our hearts entwine
It’s just a matter of time
Before I kiss your lips of wine
It’s just a matter of time
Before we make love divine
It’s just a matter of time.

It’s human nature for a girl to act shy
It’s part of the game for a boy to try and try
You can build walls, put up defences
Say ‘No’ but I still fancy my chances
You can turn me away, lock me out
But I know what is what
Just let me get my foot in the door
You will beg me for more and more.

It’s just a matter of time
Before I make you mine
It’s just a matter of time
Before our hearts entwine
It’s just a matter of time
Before I kiss your lips of wine
It’s just a matter of time
Before we make love divine
It’s just a matter of time.

You and me were meant to be
We cannot avoid our destiny
God has a purpose for every little thing
Imagine if nightingales couldn’t sing
Imagine if flowers had no perfume
Imagine a love that makes your heart bloom
Some things are found on the backseat of cars
Others you have to look for among the stars.

It’s just a matter of time
Before I make you mine
It’s just a matter of time
Before our hearts entwine
It’s just a matter of time
Before I kiss your lips of wine
It’s just a matter of time
Before we make love divine
It’s just a matter of time.
