O Sing Me Not The Song Of Separation Poem by Mohammad Younus

O sing me not the song of separation
Let others hear it if they must;
Let me hear the melody of union,
All ecstasy and rapture!
Though wine is forbidden under Shariah,
Let me drink the wine of love,
Until I heave the last breath!
For all that lies about me
Is moving on the path of love;
Pour liquid melody, I pray thee, O Saqi,
Until the cry goes around,
‘Lo, he hast got the wine of love
In his cupped eyes!
