I do not need your red sculpted lips,Nor hair in loops like a serpent’s coils,Nor a nape as graceful as a swan’s,Nor narcissus eyes full of drunkenness,Nor teeth as perfect as pearls of heaven,Nor cheeks ruddy and full as pomegranates,Nor a voice mellifluous as a sarinda,Nor a figure as elegant as a poplar,But show me just this one thing, my love,I seek a heart stained like a poppy flower – Pearls by millions I would gladly cede,For the sake of tears borne of love and grief----Ghani Khan
