I Shall Always Love You Poem by Mohammad Younus

I will never leave you and go on my way,
I think I should go on setting my eyes on you,
and instal your solitary painting in my heart,
that I draw with the colour of my love...
as a golden song,
It is my good fortune that you have taken
my heart away;

You beauty is eternal, it does not wane,
as the beauty of mortals does, year after year,
There is no alternation of season
in your garden of eternity,
The spring season in your garden is not fugitive,
The colourful fragrant flowers in your garden...
always bloom with your melodious smile,
and lovingly you whisper into my heart's ear: -
'O my modest faqir, life is not like a dew- drop,
as the ignorant think,
I am ever lasting, living, and self- sustaining,
But only he who gazes at my sounding name,
can understand,
Not he who turns his back on me,
Do not be crude and rude like he';

'Then, come, enjoy my rain of mercy and listen...
its pattering-sound echoing in your heart;
Smile, and hear my golden music in your heart,
Come, dear, do not scatter your kisses on my other,
Is it wise to break off your heart from me,
whom you claim to be your beloved?
For he who takes his heart away from my remembrance,
even for a short time, is not my lover true,
He is just a pretender, a false lover, he can't deceive me';

It is sweet to sit in a corner in still silence
and then muse and write love poems in rhymes.
while listening new and newer divine melodies,
They are all my world, all my wealth,
So I raise my eyes to your face, as my prophet tells me: -
'Worship your lord as if you see him (before your eyes) ',
So I must go on looking for you, for time at my disposal is very short.
