If one were to describe the reason for my love
Oh, how in vain would the attempt be,
Endless, vast, infinite
Like a starlit sky and the ocean’s breeze.
If one were to describe the reason for my love
Oh, the bereft voice would lead to clear demise,
Nonexistent, inarticulate, muffled
Like the garden of Eden and the elixir of life.
If one were to describe the reason for my love
Oh, how these emotions would obscure judgment,
Murky, blindfolded, nebulous
Like the depths of the Earth and the deafening night.
If one were to describe the reason for my love
Oh, hear the resonance of worship in my voice,
Poignant, vibrant, exuberant
Like the echo of the temple bells
Like the treble of the piano
Like the awakening of the azaan
Like the unison of the mantra.
Ever so unconditional,
Ever so empowered,
Never fearing, never faltering,
My love enraptures me, body and soul.
