A SOFT WORD TURNETH AWAY WRATH

Dear Shehla,

Of all the girls that are so smart

There’s none like pretty Shehla;

She is the Darling of my heart,

And lives in our ally.

Why are you angry with me, Shehla? I have done nothing to offend you. My only guilt is that I love you. If you are angry with me because I love you, I confess my guilt. But I will continue to be guilty. Just because I can not help otherwise. If you also cannot help being angry with me then I will become your anger even. I would rather welcome a harsh word from you than no word at all. Darling, I love you. When can I come around and see you?

Yours forever,

Nazim.
