temptation | Satori Publishing

A hundred thousand pleasures hidden in her looks
Blessings of heaven hidden in her beauty
A thousand temptations like dust under her teasing feet
Every single glance coloured by the intoxication of youth

Youth, the mere thought causes lightning to flash
Modesty, desires the companionship of the naughty
Her offering of a drunken walk causes commotion
The light of dawn pays homage to her radiant face

Tresses of dark hair cascading with multiple fragrances
Long nights spent dreaming of multiple pleasures
Those eyes which even the Creator can boast of
Poets feel ashamed trying to write verse in her praise

Those lips bestow on Spring the red of tulips
Off her shoulders flow the three springs of heaven
The robes on her soft body flatter with elegant grace
The tall, slender cypress prays in homage to her stature

All in all, that beauty is not in need of praise and fame
The beauty which is beyond human imagination
Passed by this pathway some time ago
Passed this way with much pride and splendour

Now this beautiful pathway has become deceitful at heart
Resident in this dust are the pleasures of wine and song
The breeze moves in a playful manner with seductive style
In the gentle atmosphere is the sound of soft voices

Now, on this path, that beauty is a scenic fixture
Available is an altar to bow in homage to Love.

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

All the girls regard me as a stallion
To some I’m known as Sin, to others Temptation
Many swear my middle name is Freedom
Because I never go before they come
The word on the grapevine is Ecstasy
The word says Satisfaction is a guarantee.

Play with fire, babe, and you’ll see it’s no lie
Play with fire, babe, and I’ll put a torch to your hive
Play with me, and I’ll burn you alive.

Your family has wrapped you in cotton wool
Safeguarding your body so it’s taken by a chosen fool
If all you want is security on the shelf
Then do as they say – you don’t need my help
But if you want thrills with no strings attached
Come and play with me in a love match.

Play with fire, babe, pour your juice onto the flames
Play with fire, babe, play these lovely grown-up games
Play with me, no two shots are ever the same.

People will warn you and say it’s a crime
But it’s never wrong to ache for a good time
Come on, honey, come on, climb down from that window
Come on, angel, float down into my waiting arms now
Step into my open car and let the wind blow back your hair
I’ll drive you, I’ll ride you, I’ll plough you from here to there.

Play with fire, babe, you know lovers make the best friends
Play with fire, babe, burn my candle at both ends
Play with me, my life is in your hands.

We’re flying on the wings of a slow burn
Joy from this boy has made you learn
Love without a license is the most delicious
Stolen kisses are the most precious
Legal love is such a slow waste
Forbidden fruit has the sweetest taste.

Play with fire, babe, and I’ll tie you to my stake
Play with fire, babe, and in your oven I will bake
Play with me, play with the real thing for heaven’s sake!!
