I Said, Tell Me What Is The Sacrifice? Poem by Mohammad Younus
I Said, Tell Me What Is The Sacrifice?
I said, tell me what is the sacrifice?
He said: Ask the moth going round the lamp.
I said: Moth! Who makes you to sacrifice your life?
It said: The lamp! That burns to test my love;
When lovers make up their mind,
To prove their audacity...
...and passion to die for love,
They circumambulate freelythe spiritual lamp,
And annihilate themselves...
...in the light of their beloved;
Mykoul
