Quite a feisty poem of Zeb-un-nissa I found.
It is called 'story of love'
You, with the dark curly hair and the breathtaking eyes,
your inquiring glance that leaves me undone.
Eyes that pierce and then withdraw like a blood-stained sword,
eyes with dagger lashes!
Zealots, you are mistaken this is heaven.
Never mind those making promises of the afterlife:
join us now, righteous friends, in this intoxication.
Never mind the path to the Kaabah: sanctity resides in the heart.
Squander your life, suffer! God is right here.
Oh excruciating face! Continual light!
This is where I am thrilled, here, right here.
There is no book anywhere on the matter.
Only as soon as I see you do I understand.
If you wish to offer your beauty to God, give Zebunnisa
a taste. Awaiting the tiniest morsel, she is right here.
Wow she openly talks about 'Zealots' and 'never mind the path to Heaven, because sanctity is in heart and Heaven is here - enjoy your life on Earth!
Directly opposite to what Aurangazeb preached! 😆
Paavam! She loved a man she wasn't allowed to marry... this might have been born out of that too...
