I care not what they think... ---------------------------------- http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/carenot.htm O Allah! Conceal my heart And its wondrous wealth From the world's eyes Filled with envious filth Where am I in need Of praises for my deed? When did I desire For my words any honor? In the eyes of the crowd I seem to be proud And they call me a fraud When my actions not speak aloud (They say) 'His ways are of conceit, Beware of this hypocrite' With this and that Me they curtly accuse Ah! Even a human face Me they harshly refuse It is painful indeed When at such a period The dear ones too In blaming takes the lead. O ruthless friend! Do you really think Jaihoon's hopes can you sink? Feel not your words of blame Will make my heart go lame. Yet, I care not the slightest bit Whether for you I befit As long as with His Love My heart is always lit O Lord of Might and Power! Enamor my Ego Make me an emerald Sharpen my Ego Make me a sword Polish my Ego Make me as pure gold. Ah! Make me not a 'ring of smoke' That weakens on a single tender stroke Stir my soul In and out Inspire my heart With the poetic clout Wash away my entire sins Make me as the day I was born since Grant me the fortune to connect Between the inner word and outer act Yet I care not What others think As long as with You Is my heart's link - JAIHOON http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/carenot.htm *Glossary ... as the day I was born since : every child is born in purity, free from sins. |
