Joseph and Julekha

We were like ancient Egypt’s Joseph and Julekha You attracted me like Queen Cleopatra But guilty feelings barred me again and again From making love with you O my sweetheart We were like Adam and Eve in paradise But Satan has driven us out of there By his black magical tricks We were like two flowers on a branch of tree A wild wind has blown us apart From each other We were like two birds singing a love song A hunter has caught me by a horrible trap Now he wants to sell me in the marketplace Now we are like one soul having two bodies Living in two separate worlds all day all night With hopes and dreams like a dying supernova
