Omar Ali

 

A Passionate Lover

 

Have a go,

See if you can get away

Now that I have shut the door.

How can you get away from me

On such a night ?

You’d better come to my arms

And sleep with me tonight.

 

Why would you like to leave in a half ?

What ! did you say you are angry ?

Won’t speak to me  to night,

Would like a separate bed ?

No, darling, you can’t do that

Can you really ?

 

Fragrance of Chamelli and Malati

Floats all over this room,

Overwhelms your throbbing youth

And quivers on your thighs.

It’s indeed difficult to sleep without you.

 

O my piqued little baby,

Come, be all smiles forgive me.

I am helpless, lonely, miserable

But aren’t you mine, darling ?
