Anguish

My charming love attracts this side, magnificent God that side Which side should my loyalty go the distinction is wide? Be my mansion of heart deserted, why my eyes shed tears A silent desert excels the town where doomsday’s trumpet blares It seeks no healing hands of Jesus, its torments contain Compared to reluctant relief I prefer ceaseless lethal pain Opposed to cruel realities, O life! With radiance of mirage cope In contrast to colossal darkness of despair, better a flicker of hope A minion of loyalty I am and my love knows only this ‘Yes’ for whatever you ask for, ‘yes’ for what you wish Was it my sagacity or a brainless act of heart? To embrace even the death happily for beauties that enchant She is benevolent cloud of rain and I pernicious gust What you heard were honest words and what she said was just If Yamin, your goal is love, then why do you complain? What should life reward you with, if not anguish and pain?
