Re: The "Praising the Beloved (saw)" thread
Antum muradi - You are my desire
You are my desire and you are the best of Mankind
I hold your image in my hearing and in my sight
You have conquered my heart and made it the place of your dwelling
And being far from you, o my master, has caused me great distress
Do not think my heart will turn away from your love
Your love has rendered this poor man in fear of losing you
Your absence took away my happiness
And quietness led me to extreme sorrow
You left me gazing up at a star, in pain of separation
And now I shed tears like the pouring rain
You are my desire, o best of Mankind
I hold your image in my hearing and sight
