COME BACK DARLING

The night is dark now,
and I call for HER,
"Come back, my darling;
the world is asleep,
neither your mom nor anyone would know
if you come for a moment
while stars are gazing at Moon."

Many times my eyes are constant at Moon
with only dream of you.
"Come back, my darling,
I am tired in waiting for your arrival.
If you come and embrace me,
sky won't fall to earth."

Now the flowers are in high bloom and I call,
"Come back, my darling.
I have gathered many roses for you.
And if you come and take one,
no one will ask you who has given you that."

Now-a-days I have stopped going on morning walk. Cause, flowers and plants in the road side garden are asking about you. "Come back, my darling. If you walk few steps with me.... no one will mind it."

I listen to prayer of Mosjid and ring bell of Temple every morning, "Come back, my darling, If you come and talk with me in your sweet voice, no one will be disturbed."

When morning bright Sunlight reach to my balcony, your angelic face appears in my mind's mirror. "Come back, my darling, I have never seen your face in the early morning, and if you come to snatch only one little kiss from me no one will grudge it."
