Please Come My Love Poem by Mohammad Younus

Please come, my love, without testing me any more
I have watched you all night, ...
...my eyes wavered neither to the right nor to the left
And now my eyes have got crimson red, ...
...swollen, and are heavy with sleep.
I am afraid lest I should lose your sight...
...if you visit me while I am sleeping.

Please come, my love, without testing me any more
If I hear the bell sound of your camel, I shall start up...
...and stretch my hands to touch your jingling bell
And I shall ask myself, 'Is it a dream, or a reality? '

Please come, my love, without testing me any more
Could I but take this jingling bell into my heart and...
...hang it from the roof of my heart's hall...
...and hear the jingling all the while, ...
...consoling myself that my love is at last coming.
Please come, my love, without testing me any more
