1. In the early dawn at my window
to breathe in your sweet scent

2. and no consolation except the intimate whispers
that I confide as songs to you

3. I set my eyes dreamily towards it
imagining your reflection

4. and set aside times of stillness
as meetings with you

5. Hours pass over me
as I bid them adieu with memories of you

6. And I fear that absence may deny me
the joy of seeing you

7. You appeared and my heart has no desire
that would expose my yearning for you

8. The morning light from afar
sighed then bade greetings to you

9. The peace of the soul and the breeze
you are the blessing of my world

10. You passed by and it was said people passed
Did I see anyone but you?

11. Farewell my tormentor
and may God watch over you

12. A farewell like smoldering embers
and my encounters with you

13. And I forget a night that passed
while my eyes awakened for you

14. And a bed of ribs that sighed
with fires and thorns

15. I thanked God that this house
brings me and you together

16. And asks me about things
that happened beyond you

17. And when I answer you grant me
the smile of gratitude in your eyes

18. I left the house, wandering
in God’s space, were it not for you

19. And were it not for the mercy of the two eyes
and a heart that adores you

20. And affection from you upon
anguish in the soul that destroys me

21. Otherwise, you would have seen me one day
fallen lifeless beneath my window
