Nothing More Poem by Mohammad Younus

I want nothing, nothing at all;
In your constant remembrance,
I want just to be;
Don't leave me forlorn,
Face to face...
...I want to be;
I am nothing...
...if you abandon me;
Without you I don't have...
....any other being to love;
I want just you from you;
I won't ask you for more than that;
Don't let me succumb to despair;
I beg you God...
...don't take the heat off me...
...of your love and your peace;
If I lack the light
of your countenance,
I will be lost in dark alleys of life;
How much ice will there be in my life...
...if your sun does not shine upon me;
And on the cross roads of my journey to you,
I will fill the eyes of my soul with mists;
The azure sky, the sun, the moon, and stars...
I will not any more see;
I want nothing, nothing at all;
I beg you not to leave me...
...in the emptiness of
dejection...
...pitifully sad, abandoned and lonely!
If you don't do it for love...
...do it out of compassion, my lord;
I will never bother you,
I will be the dust at the feet of your lovers;
Lying in some corner...
...I will hear your sweet melody;
I want nothing more.
