1. What can time the pretender do
As long as you are in my poetry and in my ribs

2. Our lifelong companionship will never be severed
No matter how far the world separates us, we will reunite

3. We say to people if they scream
What the bulbul said to the oleander

4. If our youth passes, passion remains
We perish with it like creation with the Maker

5. What of love if infatuation is lacking
Has the wine ever sobered until it's chastised?

6. You saw me as an old man with far-sighted vision
My past is connected to my destiny

7. On my mouth an ode that doesn't fade
And a verdant melody in my hearing

8. I live in memories in absent-mindedness
As a child lives suckling at the wet nurse

9. The birds of my dreams and the passion's rapture
Encircling me and alighting

10. If life becomes difficult and frowns at us
Which ground in you hasn't been cultivated?

11. I attained through your eyes the essence of wishes
So the universe lives through me and dies with me
