Clamorous Love
Surely, a clamorous love it was
That resembles the sea;
In the sea we were boats
Going about together.
Traversing a very far heaven,
We were together too;
With vision and talents
We were watering fields,
To build up a homeland,
Like which we have not seen at all;
A homeland that in love has gone up,
And with miracles has folded;
A homeland that Allah endowed
With honor and glory;
It is the blessing and the fate,
Which powerful became with procession.
An eye as well as an eyebrow, in giving
We were to you;
And an eye as well as an eyebrow -
In favoring and giving preference -
You were to us.
Passion reminiscence for you
There in soul we remain,
Whenever wide gap night descended,
Like plants would it be appearing.
Also there will remain seeing you
Eyes that you can see not;
So difficult it is to them,
To fasten your luggage;
And to travel,
Is the most difficult thing to them
There, they were home for you
And there, they were
Playing fields for you too.
Fresh pure cold water and also stars
You were for them;
And for you they were
Sun and drinking places.
Peace and peace onto you
Wherever you dear people are.
Peace and peace onto you
O! what best companions were you.
