Wounded Hearts Poem by Mohammad Younus

Wounded hearts shed tears of blood,
But, externally, a smile shines on their lips,
With them, my heart, too, weeps and smiles,
A voice from inside the heart says to me
I know you are wounded inside but, I see
My eyelashes-like arrows wounded you,
And with every prick in your heart,
You pour out a delightful sigh.
A sign of truest and real love
As of legendary Majnun and Leila
When Majnun heard her sigh
He came closer and sat by her
With love intimate she told him
Come near, and she took her veil off
Raptured with her beauty, Majnun
Buried his head under her waving locks
His soul, his body became one with Leila
Who could separate him from her?
So she named him after her name, Leila
Thus, he cried, in ecstasy,
' I am Leila ', ' I am Leila '
