O God

O’ God !

I wander all day and pine through time,

And seek some comfort in my rhyme.

The noblest of rhymes overflow with love,

The sweetest line – the musical and pure –

Are written down for the heart as a cure.

Men turn as they pay to the holy place;

To Laila’s home I turn my face.

Twice people say their prayers at dawn;

When I think of her’

I know not the times I repeat my own,

Laila hid behind a crowd;

Her lip betrayed a smile,

Like the break of morn,

Or the sun as it shone.

Her sweet breath filled the air,

Made perfumed roses seem less fair.

A shiver ran through my form

From head to toe

As though my eye had met her own.

Let’s love:

All men are mortal but love never dies:

Laila and I loved with young eyes:

Our love story which is now alive,

To our successors will continue to survive.

Generations of men will die and go past,

But our true love will forever last.
