1. If passion strikes my soul, I hide it
And if it flows in my blood, I conceal it as a secret

2. I am the hidden one in the depths of my secrecy
I hide the fragrance of visions in the embers of its past

3. I chase time so I may go without an era
And carry longing from my path and cast it aside

4. If you knew, the secret of my knowledge would shatter
And if I were lost, I would see my face and what was in it

5. I protect you from me if a dream overflows from me
And every word I wove becomes too narrow

6. After today, you have no defender from my dream
And if you begged me, I would not end it

7. My soul will shine so I may end its torments
And reveal the secret within myself to destroy it

8. You are but my ashes when I kill myself
You will not reach love until you destroy it

9. And when you toy with the world if you toy with it
And drink from the cup straight from its valleys

10. And suffocate speech in the depths of its letters
And reveal silence in its highest meanings

11. And grasp the wind in the arms of its elation
And pour the sea patience in its waterways

12. None knows love but from its poems
And knows wine from the cups of its pourer

13. I am the one who talks to myself in my secret
While you are Adam who lost his goals

14. If you want my way you will wander in my anxiety
So there is no way to my salvation, I keep it

15. I veiled my soul in its distance
While you, you are like one walking to confusion
