Some clouds arrived, some wine arrived. Afterwards what punishments arrived!

From heaven’s terrace as moonlight climbed down, In the beloved cup bearer’s hands, sunlight arrived.

In every vein sheet lightning, When she, unveiled, arrived.

He was counting his mundane sorrows When her uncountable memories arrived.

It hadn’t lifted, your wounding tyranny, When in this heart new revolutions arrived.

This silence reverberates so, that it appears As if from every direction answers have arrived.

Faiz, that path lead to some alternate destination Yet whatever place you finally reached, you arrived.
