Separation Is A Precursor to Lover's Union With His Beloved Poem by Mohammad Younus

Separation is a precursor to lover's union with his beloved,
It ignites a wildfire in the forest of lover's heart,
Without separation how can the lover be aware...
...of the pain in his heart for his beloved?
Without perfume in the air how can he be aware...
of the scented tresses let loose by his beloved?
As the deep night of separation stretches and becomes long...
...the lover's soul in the silence of night quietly mourns...
...like a widowed woman...
...praying to reap harvest of separation at dawn;
The lover wants to give as a sacrifice..
...to the brilliant morning sun...
...the ocean of night with its galaxies of stars;
With the separation getting wider and wider,
His burning soul squeals and wriths with pain...
...until the radiant face of his beloved at dawn...
...heals his night's scars
