Tonight there came a news that you, oh beloved, would come - <br />Be my head sacrificed to the road along which you will come riding! <br />All the gazelles of the desert have put their heads on their hands <br />In the hope that one day you will come to hunt them…. <br />The attraction of love won't leave you unmoved; <br />Should you not come to my funeral, <br />you'll definitely come to my grave. <br />My soul has come on my lips (e.g. I am on the point of expiring): <br />Come so that I may remain alive - <br />After I am no longer - for what purpose will you come?<br /><br />Amir Khusro<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-news-came/
