Adieu Nightingale of Love!!!

The east wind took him away,

No more beauty to serenity;

The celerity of the wind swept his wings,

He soared higher and higher to the sky

To echo the melodious tune of love.

The horizon bent his keenness,

The whirlwind covered his feathers

And he was seen no more by the stars.

Alas! Our song bird is in oblivion,

Neither resting nor flying;

He is singing till the dawn of eternity;

Waiting for his sweet music to be heard by all.

In the figment of imaginations,

He is radiant in façade and beauty

But now a shadow of himself.

The east wind took him away,

No more beauty to serenity,

For the nightingale of love is gone.

Death played a crafty game in disguise,

Nature succoured to see him go,

Now, our song bird has truly gone.

Vultures saturate the sky with ill wind

But with hope, we shall dance again

To the melodious tune of our nightingale.

Though, you are gone,

Your sweet music lingers in our heads;

As you slumber to sing forever,

Know that you remain precious to all.

Adieu Nightingale of Love!
