1. She saw a man who found happiness in life
Yet great matters evaded him

2. Youth flourished for him and he followed it
Years of safety and spoils were for him

3. So he became enraptured, looking around
If only such bliss would last forever

4. And I have from days what he does not have
So I said, learn that you are but a dreamer

5. Perhaps one day you will be struck with grief
As I was struck on the day of parting, Salim

6. They turn me from Salim and I turn them
While the skin between the eye and the nose is safe
