An Ahmad Rahi Inspiration: Maiñ To Masjid Se Chalā Thā Kisī Ka.Aba Kī Taraf In An English Poem Poem by Ravi Kopra

She rejected my love
broke my heart

I went to a Masjid to pray
to win back her love

And was on the way to Kaba
to do the same

In the mean time
my rivals envious of me

defamed my prayers
defamed me.

O my gracful Allah1
here is my dua:

send my rivals to hell
neuter their balls

make them bald
make them lose their beards, moustaches

make them look like ladies-like
my mehbooba will then surely spurn them

and come back to my open arms.
For and her only, O my graceful Allah!

I promise, when I come to jannat
don't grant me my virgins

thirty two
to be exact in numbers.

maiñ to masjid se chalā thā kisī ka.aba kī taraf
dukh to ye hai ki ibādat mirī bad-nām huī
