Ya Sayyidee, Don't Turn Away

Ya Sayyidee, don't turn away,
Don't turn away from me;
I've waited long this endless day
For just a glimpse to see.

I know my sinful eyes have brought
Upon my heart disgrace,
But know they have forever sought
The brilliance of your face.

My ears are filled with empty chat
And words of lesser choice,
And now they crave the pleasure that
Accompanies your voice.

My tongue and lips, I fear, have cursed
My self and left me dry;
I beg your leave to slake my thirst
Beside your fountain high.

Ya Sayyidee, don't turn away,
Don't turn away from me;
By Him, the Master of this day,
I love you, my Nabi.
