In the poem, “Do Not Ask From Me, My Beloved, Love Like That Former One” by Faiz the lover in the poem describes it’s love to a beloved. Although the lover adores the beloved, it tells the beloved that there are other things in the world that hurt more and bring more joy than love. The lover is using situations from the outside world to describe his love. The poem, I believe, is also one of heartbreak. The lover is asking the beloved to not expect it to feel the same feelings. This tells us that the lover has been hurt by the beloved and is comparing his anguish to the anguishes of the world. I believe that at the end of the poem, the lover realizes that there are greater emotions than the love he feels for the beloved and tells the beloved that he can no longer love the same way.
