You And Me Poem by Akhtar Jawad

You are my past,
You are my present, too,
You are my future, as well,
I don't care,
Whether you are mine,
Or not,
You are a friend,
You are an enemy, too,
In any case come to me,
Although you are so close,
That I can touch you,
But look into my eyes,
Still they invite you,
But you don't come,
The earth is the same,
The sky is the same,
I know we cannot meet,
With the mortal bodies,
But the journey of future,
With the souls that are free,
Free to fly like clouds,
Who can stop the clouds?
I know the fire of Heer,
Is dormant in you,
You too, must know,
The fire of Rnjha,
Isn't extuinguished,
But the book of love,
Heer by Waris Shah,
Still survives,
I know you still sing,
On the other bank of the river,
You are still a beauty,
And so is your voice.

In a moonlit night,
With a veil on your face,
Come to me,
Unveil your face,
Have a kiss of the eyes,
Be a little shy,
It will add an element,
An element of glory,
In your lovely face,
And then you recite,
Verses of Waris Shah,
The flood in Chenab,
Is deadly and furious,
Have courage from Sohni,
And this time Mahiwal,
Will not let you drowned,
In a wet moonlit night,
Come to the sleepless,
And sing the Heer,
He will not bother you again,
He will sleep forever!

(Heer a claasical Punjabi long poem, Heer the beautiful heroine and Ranjha the lover.
Waris Shah a great classical Punjabi poet,
Shoni Mahiwal a famous Punjabi love story, Sohni tried to cross the flooded Chenab to meet Mahiwal but was drowned and when Mahiwal saw her drowning he also dived in the flooded river)
