The time has come, [Ghazal-e-Irfani]

the time for love has come
the time for eternity has come

the soul is moaning in pain
the time for spiritual dancing has come

the thoughts are wandering astray
the time for nothingness has come

the yearning is caged within
the time for unleashing has come

the intellect is prevailing
the time for madness has come

the eyes are blindfolded
the time for unveiling has come

the ego is crowned as king
the time for rebellion has come

the heart is sighing of thirst
the time for wine-drinking has come

the desires are burning ablaze
the time for drowning has come

the lips are dry and longing
the time for enraptured kisses has come

the life is tormented in separation
the time for union has come

I’m hurt inside
but you are both my pain and cure
the time for love has not come
it is already here..
