I claimed that I am in love...I swore many oaths...
That for Love's sake, I lost kingship and nobility...
He said, "For this claim, one requires a witness!"
I said, "My tears are my witness, my pale face is the sign"
He said, "How long will you go?"
I said, "Until you call"
He said, "How long will you boil?!"
I said, "Till resurrection!"
He said, "Who summoned you here?"
I said, "The fragrance of your cup!"
He said, "Who was your companion?"
I said, "Imagination of you"
He siad, "What is your intention?"
I said, "Friendship and fidelity"
He said, "What do you want from me?"
I said, "Your common grace"
He said, "Where is trouble and ailment?"
I said, "In the alley of your Love"
He said, "How are you holding up there?"
I said, "In firm standing!"
