Was I not thine

Was I not thine when Allah spoke the word

Which formed from smoke the sky?

Were not our twin hearts one when heaven heard

The first faint stars reply?

Canst thou then doubt that while the ages roll

Our being one shall be?

As flame and light are one, so is my soul

One, O my love, with thee!

The ebbing star-floods of the Judgment Day

Shall leave my heart still thine;

And Paradise itself shall fade away

Ere I thy love resign!
