Parde mein Zarda

Ouncha bola to, yeh haquiqat
ban sakti hai, aik musibat
parde ke peeche ki jo bat hai
parde ke peeche karo

nami, khaizash aur yeh tariqa
zarde ki khushbu aur pasina
parde ke peeche ka jo milaap hai
parde ke peeche karo

Tum usko chuup ke bulao gi
Tum usko chuup ke satao gi
Parde mein zarda milao gi
Khaizash ko youn suljhao gi

--Usman Chohan, 2006


If you speak too loud, this truth
can become quite the nuisance
what is meant for closed curtains
do it behind them

moisture, lust and this style
the smell of zarda and sweat
the encounter meant for closed curtains
do it behind them

you will call him discretely
you will excite him discretely
stain the curtain with zarda
satiate yourself in such a way

--Usman Chohan, 2006
