Had I Not Said So

(Even if) Everyone will get away with their deed Your deed will not remain impunished You had better remember that If every day were a feast And you blossomed four times a year You will wither, too You had better remember that! Everyone's loss is one by one The ones I lost have all left at the same time I stayed strong, did not cry The one staying becomes a king The gone one becomes disgraced Had I not told you to note that somewhere? Think not, that, because my eye does not see, I know not about your state Dark news travels fast, good news about you never comes around Have I not said, you will suffer? Everything existing in this universe will die Only love is permanent Thus, I will not die The one lacking love is dead Had I not said so? Before falling down on the ground As you are still on your feet, like a lion Before yearning for water Do not turn your back on the universe's secret: love If you fall down, you will have no one to pick you up You will befriend with satans Had I not said so? God witnesses They forget the one who forgets Who does not have mercy will not get mercy from heaven The universe becomes (this) man's enemy Had I not said so? We drank from the same water What is it that gives you poison, and life to the loving one And when you asked that, have I not, smilingly, said to you I got love inside of me, love! Had I not said so? Do not be far from love and beloved You will not scent human's odor, you will not even be able to scent Had I not said so? If there is no love, there is no faith And you will not even get your (good) lot from man-kind. Your departure is no such thing The place you leave to makes the man an appetizer You would knowingly burn You will burn, you will ignite Had I not said so?
