Heart-warming

You are like the ocean and the rays of the sun
Falling in love and smiling at each other,
Each congratulating on love of the other,
Each saying “Bravo” with love to the other,
While the cold-blooded are decorating them
With their multiple beautiful colours
And their eye-attracting style,
Like that is how you look my queen!
My dear Deeqa and the iris of my eyes!
My soul celebrates for you with love!

You are like the Aries and the Taurus
Each pillowing on the other’s rays,
Each exceeding its lightening rays;
The moon congratulating on the constellations;
While the buds on the earth are hugging their rays
And with them is the similarity of gold’s value
My dear Deeqa and the iris of my eyes
My soul celebrates for you with love!

You are as beautiful as the irrigating river channels!
You are as captivating as the beauty of the streams and lakes!
You are as pretty as the splashing water of valleys and dells!
You are as brilliants as water that falls from mountain cliff!
You are as good-looking as the drizzles of water that float!
You are as magic as the full-blown and fresh farm crops!
You are as eye-arresting as fully moisturised savannah!
That is how you look my dear and darling wife!
My dear Deeqa and the iris of my eyes!
My soul celebrates for you with love!

You are as wonderful as the she-camel, Birmad,
Which got lost from her owner and became wild,
Living in the fresh and far deep in the green forest,
Months graced in the thick and untouched jungles,
Staggering with Loaded heavy ham,
With her youngster in the hugging foliages,
Her colour looking like that of a mirror!

Allow me to illustrate for you:
The conclusion of the wisdom;
And the motif of the objective’
That is bolstered by the love;
Your love shakes my soul!
I need you like water and food!
You are the drug that relieves me!
And comforts me when I am sick!
