Baat se baat chale

Poetic ideas are sometimes derived from other works.

This is a couplet I am pretty proud of taking a thought from a great poet and developing it a bit.

This is the original from Maninder Singh Bedi

Hua jo teer-e-nazar neemkash to kya haasil
Mazaa to jab hai jo seene ke aarpaar chale

If the arrow of her glance is lodged in my heart no matter
The fun begins if it goes through and through

Now here is mine:

Armaan hai maidaan-e-wafaa me apna bhi ik mazaar ho
Bashart bas ki zakhm-e-dil seene ke aarpaar ho

I wish to have my grave in the Garden of Love
Only if the wound in my heart is through and through
