My heart is yours,

So that I know not which heart I hear sighing:

Yaquin, Yaquin, Yaquin, foolish Yaquin.

From the Hindustani of Yaquin (eighteenth century).

A POEM

Joy fills my eyes, remembering your hair, with tears,

And these tears roll and shine;

Into my thoughts are woven a dark night with raindrops

And the rolling and shining of love songs.

From the Hindustani of Mir Taqui (eighteenth century).
