Asleep When Love Knocked

Sometimes, love comes when we are not ready for it.

Unannounced, it knocked and left
I was asleep when it flew away.
It came and saw my heart was still asleep.
Not bothering to sit on the roof,
It flew away.

That, which is the light of hope
They say it comes from God
In the blackness of my nights
It is like the dawn of morning.

Maybe, but for the man in the song, that dawn does not come.

From Aref's Light of Hope (Noor-e-Omid)
