Free Me, Free Me Poem by Mohammad Younus

Free me
Free me
Free me as free as are the birds of love,
the wanderers in your unseen valleys;
Free me as free as are the musical tunes,
that resonate and freely flow in the world,
that touch my fretful, bitter- tainted heart,
and fill it up to the brim with sweet melody -
deep, clear, and liquid-slow!
that shake my cage and break open its locks,
and ask me to come out and fly and glide,
in the unknown regions to snatch your glimpse;

Free me
Free me
Free me as free as are the beams of the sun,
that hurl defiance at darkness of the night,
I don't want to stay away from your lightful gaze,
I aspire for peace to come to my burning heart,
I hope it won't take you long to shower your light,
Just a faith I cherish in my heart, oh bring me home,
I'm in here all along weeping in your separation,
Just me and my songs of melancholy!

Free me
Free me
Oh, free me
From this pain of separation I've been suffering from,
I'm lost in haze and mist of mind, I am calling you,
Free me from this prison I've been in,
I've lost connection with you, my friend,
and I am eagerly longing to see you.
