Don't ask
Don't AskPoem by Mutellip Qawul
Ah my friend, Don't ask me why your colour pale as straw
Don't ask me. What sorrow and grief reached you so deep.
'Your eyes are without lights and your appearance looks like a derwish'
Don't you ask, Where are you going alone and sighing in despair
If I tell you I am walking towards a lover singing my love song.
Don't you ask me, Which beauty is that made you so drunk.
Made you a mejnun with her love and let you all alone in the world.
Don't ask me to tell you which beauty is that
Today I became a drunk like the great poet newa'i
Don't ask why the world is not big enough to shelter the love
(Don't ask why the world is so narrow that my love could not survive)
Until the angel give me the wine of love
Don't ask me, When will your empty love bowl be full
