Analysis of Wait
Rukhsana shah 1951 (Pakistan)
He promised me to come today
Spray the Lavender in the way
The only fragrance he loves ,he says
throw some roses and Jasmin
Throw some marigolds too
Don't fold the curtains please
If he himself does so,
let him enjoy the scene
He promised me to come today
Spray the Lavender in the way
The only fragrance he loves he says
Throw some buds and flowers in the way
Some colorful balloon in the sky.
Fascinating tips all arround then pray
Before the tears come into his eyes
Pls off the lights ,lit in his way .
He promised me to come today
Its too late he hasn't reached
He hasn't reached he hasn't reached
Its too dark in front of me
Dear friend don't wait
I have to go , I have to go
Take awaY the Lavender from the way
Let me go. let me go
Today he promised to come
Throw away the roses from the way
And let me go. let me go
