COLOR ME IN COLORS OF LOVE
by Amir Khusrau
Color me in colors of love,
You are my lover of lovers,
Color me in your love.
Color my scarf and my lover’s turban,
Color them both in the colors of spring.
Whatever you ask in return
I will give you.
I will pawn my youth
If you will.
You are my lover of lovers,
I have now come to your door,
Please guard my pride and dignity.
Color me in colors of love,
You are my lover of lovers,
Color me in your love.
