O Beloved
When you left
O beloved!
I renunciated all that I had.
My ego, My pride
My love, My self
I gave up all that belonged to me.
There is nothing in my life,
More valuable than your companionship.
No treasure can make me rich,
My real treasure is your smile
No prostitute can satisfy me,
My actual desire is your love.
My world is not enough,
And is abandoned by your essence
Me, and my introduction;
Is incomplete, without you.
Just wishing your come-back
In temples,
I bowed my head down
In mosques,
I bent on my knees
In churches,
I have spent my 'detached from you' life.....
Longing for you
Yes, living for you
O beloved!
I merged myself into you like a mad.
You are no more,infront of me
Escaped free from the prison of my eye-sight
I am thirsty, for just one glance of you.
Herein; sitting alone in esplanade and dew.
In the dawn,
I see you at mushriq (East)
In the evening,
Across the horizons
I gaze you at maghrib (West)
On the papers,
I keeps searching your name.
In my food,
I wishes to sense your taste.
These days are,
Tumultuous to live
When you left,
O beloved!
I am living alone and sad.
