Stop crying over the memory of the beloved

I am shaken with sadness

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 2 min read

Stop crying at the memory of the beloved

For longing has become like a baby to me

My longing for you reminds me of you, my love

The fire of sadness has become a flame for me

Sadness shakes me sometimes like a creeping poison

In my body and kills me with a strange sadness

Tears slaughter me and make me feel like a stranger

In the nightmares of life I find my ship stolen

Oh Lord, grant me patience from life that melts

The struggles of my heart and do not make me gloomy from them

Oh sadness, hide the fog and do not return to me

For my heart will not bear more torment?

So let me live and do not force me to cry

The tragedies have increased upon me and the longing for the beloved has overflowed

I wonder who will heal me in difficult times

My body has become a volcano of fire and flames?

And the world spins as if I have become a playful player

And in my heart sighs run like disasters

And make me become as if I am right

Oh my sorrows, come out of my ecstasy, do not confuse me

My thoughts and make me a melody that delights

Oh wind, do not play with my fears, lest I become homeless

And my universe responds to my fiery anger

Oh Lord, grant me the strength to overcome the gloomy illusion

For the soul cried and its crying became more than sobbing

Oh God of the universe, I get angry every time the years pass

I find myself in the tongues of longing as if I am a stranger

So do not cry, oh eye, over the deeds of the beloved

And do not make me, oh universe, monotonous in the universe

For boredom has eaten away at my soul and made me repentant in my dream

And sadness is a fire upon me, a fire in the body, and passion is a flame

So remembering you, oh my homeland, made me think as if I am incomplete

And the flowers in my land made my anger as if it were running out

Oh enemy of God, be ashamed, for you will depart, oh The Terrible

And the horizon freed our souls and made us the first relatives

Here is the eye that was crucified like the cross of Christ

And the universe covered me with memories of my noble heart

So leave me, my brother, for the cradle became a strong fortress for me

So he protected me from the enemy who stole the cross

Who said that the Lord does not answer our prayers

Let him remember his blessings upon us so that the twilight will be near?

For God's blessings upon us are many and the first of them is

In a land on which the beloved walked

So remember, O man, who else but you

After you were in the mud, gloomy

So rise up, let us weep at the remembrance of the beloved

You have ignited my body with a blazing fire

And the gentle waves of my sea wrote

So his memory overflowed and penetrated the folds of the near.
