Sayeed Abubakar - Ode to Lorena

I do not look at the ripe mangoes
because I have looked at you.

I do not listen to the songs of cuckoos
because I have listened to your voice.

I do not want to see the depth of oceans
because I have seen your heart.

I do not want to explore the sky
because I have explored your eyes.

I do not want to conquer any land like Alexander
because I have conquered you.

The whole universe I find in you.
That is why, I do not go anywhere
leaving you alone.

Sayeed Abubakar
