To the Unfamiliar Beautiful Girls

TO THE UNFAMILIAR BEAUTIFUL GIRLS-
(Israt Jahan & Jhing Atchi Madrigal)


wow so beautiful you are, the paragon of beauty
innocent the sight, the eyes, the nose, the lips, the chin…. 
why, why you are so beautiful to look 
oh I don't know 

but yeah 
last night I have a pain 
in the shadow dark of moon, 
last night I was alone 
oh my master, 
yeah my master of soul separated me
from his contemplation den,

this morning my master of soul 
has gone ,
yeah, has gone to his desired land 

now the butterflies circumambulating me 
I let them go to your beautiful eyes, lips, and chin 
but I won’t allow to touch you, 

the garden of rose gifted more flowers this morning, 
I let all to carry their fragrance to your nose
but I won’t allow them to make you allergic

 this that the flowing river 
builds in its stream the rhythm of liking
and I let it reside in your sense of beauty
but I don't allow to bother you, 

O beauty it's my intrinsic style of writing 
you may allow or disallow 
but I'm in me the real 
yeah, but I won't allow this reality to tease you
