Remembering You

Let the wind send tempests

Let the lightning precede thunders

Let ghosts scatter dead bodies

And let the devils train plotters

I'll continue mentioning Your names

Accompanied by caged birds

I'll loudly remember You

Yes yes yes

Together with the trodden grass

I'll silently whisper

No no no.

I'll continue mentioning Your names

Let quiet lead to rest

Let passion breed lust

Let sleepiness be followed by dozing

Let evilness send curses

I'll continue mentioning Your names

Together with scattered leaves

I say Yes Sir, I'm ready Sir

With the tossed stones

I say more silently

Evil evil evil

I'll continue remembering You

Until when, I wish I knew

but I'll surely be with You
