Whenever I Recall You

Whenever I recall you Lord
My stability doesn't remain
Besides you my teardrop
Nobody wipes away my Lord

You are whose name is Eternal
You are who recited at tongues
One who touches to your love
Can not know himself my Lord

You created soul and material
You created universe as an entire
You are the giver yours is article
Besides you no one can give my Lord

Recited your epic at mouths
Grew up your vine and kaleyards
Your gardens' roses and flowers
Never fade away my Lord

Jonah the Lover wishes you
Let you grace and show your face
Ones who see your face
Never dies my Lord
