In my Prayers

In my prayers, numerous times, I've asked1
 
That is how I found you.
 
And I asked the winds to spread my need for you,
 
That is how I found you.
 
You made my heart wander, you are like a poet's first poem2
 
Then, why shouldn't I like you?
 
The moments when I forgot about you, I felt punished3
 
That is how I found you.
 
In my prayers, numerous times, I've asked,
That is how I found you.
 
You know it every time, whatsoever I might think,
 
You read my mind4 every time!
 
I tease you5 and then I'm wooed by you,
 
Yet I turn away from you.
 
You know all of it, about how I spend my nights,
 
Like a flame, unexhausted6
 
Even in the nights, I asked for your affection,
 
That is how I found you.
 
With the ink of you love, on the paper of my destiny,
 
Can you write your affection?7
 
And the world says I am like you,
 
Then why don't you look like me?8
 
I am your shadow, I am your part,
 
I feel you always.
 
I have taken up all what could harm you,
 
That is how I found you.
 
I prayed that you would like me too,
 
That is how I found you.
