My Darling Rose Poem by Mohammad Younus

My Darling Rose

At midnight, I found Majnun crying,
While passing through the dark valley of my heart
He was calling to Leila in a frenzy mood;
My darling rose, this is the Night of Love
Better than thousand Nights of power
Darling, hide not your face
Behind the dark shades of the Night of Separation
Come out, I am not a stranger to you,
Unfurl your golden locks and delight my heart,
Let me comb your twisted and curly hair,
Let us pass the night in soft, delightful ease,
Lift your veil from your moonlit face,
Thrust your eyes into mine eyes,
Give me a kiss and a soft touch,
Dissolve me in your hot waters,
Sing to me your love-melodies,
In the language of mystic silence,
Lift your love-lids and gaze at me
I am passionate to take you in my arms,
I desire to kiss your black mole,
That gleams between your brows,
Your black mole reflects the blackstone,
Nay, the Blackstone reflects your black mole,
Round which lovers go in circles,
How can I turn my eyes away,
From the black mole of My heart -
The gateway to the eternal home,
My darling rose, I am waiting on your gate,
Let me smell the fragrance of your locks,
Mantled in sweet perfumery of Arabia
Let me drink the sweet nectar of your rose
My darling rose, my mystic rose.
