1. I no longer yearn for you, nor do I yearn
For a home where love would kill me

2. I no longer remember you so I may recall
What was of love and what you were to me

3. For love in oblivion is like the heart in
Man and life in rainfall

4. So if one passes or is absent, the death
Of the first would be the extent of the second

5. And the death of the first is evidence for
Its second in the longest absence

6. Oblivion has one day shut its eyelids on you
And became like a house

7. Then you flowed like blood in my veins
And pupil and kohl

8. You slipped into my tears and trickled from
My skin and was the tremor of my fingers

9. Until love melted my innermost being
And so appeared in my words and features

10. So love grew that which you were
Into a rose on my body and inside me

11. How can I forget when you were of
Me the soul and what my feet carry

12. And man among us only remembers
Every passing stranger traveler

13. But he forgets and does not remember
Except a little those residing within

14. I wondered at the love of my innermost being
For its patience in my most difficult ordeal

15. How the walk and betrayal of a hurtful
Strike turned away from the right and left

16. How it endured life when you are in
My soul roaming around

17. Until its Lord saw you as
The world that does not change

18. So oblivion hurried and did not prolong:
Two matters without a third, so receive

19. The land is mine, the house is mine, the sky
Is mine and I am not a traveler

20. So all good is for you and for me
To accept bitterness or travel

21. And bitterness is only a life
Without forgetfulness that relives my nights

22. Oh you who dwelt the course of my blood
And so was like a wound in the pupil

23. My world you are, so leave now
No matter how I call you, you shall not receive

24. I asked God to forgive, for in truth
I have no sin but you

25. Oh Lord, I have surrendered that in
Creation I was nothing but ignorant

26. I knew her not my life so no sorrow
As for you, I did not not know you
