I Am My Love Poem by Mohammad Younus

Mortal and temporal creature as I am,
Each morning I lament my Love,
I long and languish after my Love,
If my Love were a precious jewel,
I would buy him from a jeweller,
I would buy him at all cost,
Even for my two eyes, the little I could pay,
So that I would put him on my crown,
And cherish with joy, sing, and, dance,
If my Love were a heavenly garment,
I would beg him from my lord like a mendicant,
That I might wear and never put off,
My Love whom I love so much, I never see him,
But, honestly, in dreams do I imagine him,
But, that too is not a trivial thing,
Truly, I always feel my Love with me,
I put him in, I put him on, I never put him off,
Let me admit, I am my love, I am my love
I see my Love but filling the whole creation,
