My Sweetheart has made me Insane
By Gayatri L Chawla & Susheel Gajwani
Translation of Sindhi kalams of Sufi Poet Nimanoo Faquir .
Sweetheart has made me insane,
taking away my heart and life
by the charm of her eyes
beautiful one has won me over
​​
-
Giving me belief and faith,
forgetting all the wisdom of Gita
not recollecting the learning
his voice runs through every vein of my body
Sweetheart has made me insane
​
-
Granting me his presence
free me from faith and rituals
I meet my beloved
My heart is ecstatic
Sweetheart has made me insane
-
Nimanoo drank from the chalice of love,
intoxicated by devotion
in the pupils of my eyes
dwells my sweetheart
Sweetheart has made me insane
