"I do not Want": An awe-inspiring poem of Ottoman Sultan Mehmed Fatih which he wrote as an expression of his infinite love for Prophet Muhammad ﷺ !

"What should I do with the rose that doesn't smell like you,
What should I do with the spring without you? 1️⃣
What should I do with a sunrise without you,
What should I do with the world without you?

I don't want the rain that comes down without touching your skin, I don't want the breeze. 2️⃣
If the stars should shine, they should shine from you,
I don't want the star which doesn't burn with your love in the sky.

If the nightingales should sing, they should sing about you,
I don't want to even listen to a nightingale which doesn't sing of you. 3️⃣
If you are my yearning then let my heart burn,
I don't want the foreign land or the motherland without you

If a fire is going to burn me from my heart, Let the fire of your love burn me,
If my heart burns for anyone else , I don't want this heart, I don't want the fire 4️⃣
The oasis in which I haven't seen you should belong to the bedouins
I want your desert, I don't want the water.

If it's going to reach you I will not stop, I will walk on foot, but I don't want the direction that doesn't reach you at the end, I don't want the road.5️⃣
I'm a volunteer slave, with earring on my ear.
I will pass one thousand Sinais at once if it is going to conquer your heart

Otherwise what is it to me?
I don't want this Fetih (Conquest), I don't want Egypt, I don't want the world. 6️⃣
I'm Sultan Fatih, and in front of Istanbul (Constantinople).
I will burn this city down, just for a smile on your face.

Otherwise I don't want the Sultanate that doesn't make your rose-face smile, I don't want Istanbul. 7️⃣
I'm a strange Yunus, I'm writing about you, I'm burning for you.
I don't want the pen without your love, I don't want the paper.

I'm from your nation, you are my Master.
I don't want any other Master but you, I don't want any beloved other than you, I don't want... 8️⃣
