O My God Do Not Part Me from Thee

O my God do not part me from thee
Do not part me from thy sight

To love you is my faith and belief
Do not part my belief from my faith

I've withered, become like the Autumn
Do not part the leaves from the branch

My master is a rose, I his leaf
Do not part the leaf from the rose

I, a nightingale in my love's garden
Do not part his beak from his song

All the fish breathe in water they say
Do not part the fish from the lake

Esrefoglu is the humble slave
Do not part the Sultan from his servant


 
Esrefoglu (?-1469)
