Let My Ash
Burn me and keep me burning
Until the desire in me sleeps
Let your spark turn me into ash
So that no pain can again creep
Oh wind of sorrowful breath!
Help me scatter my ashes
Where my beloved steps ahead
To hold her as she passes
Let my ash be dust of her path
To cushion her soft, tender sweep
And soak all her painful tears
If somehow she comes to weep
Let my ash hold her to my heart
If it is broken for some betrayal
And convinced her very tenderly
If she is gloomy for some denial
