My world, in you lie my soul's desire and its undoing.
My world, in you lies the passion of my soul and its demise
And water takes the life of the thirsty one who comes to it.
And water leads to the death of the intent drinker

Nor did I seek you by choice, that I should be reproached
I did not choose you, so do not blame me
On your account by reproachers, if you tried to kill me outright.
In you are temptations, if I try to avoid them

A man seeks something unclear
Like a letter pronounced between zāy and ṣād.
Like a letter uttered between a 'z' and an 's'

Two deaths: this one's corpse was steeped in yellow wars dye,
One death is from a firm rope which killed its dead
And the other went beyond wars with mulberry red.
Another exceeded a rope’s allotted time through destiny’s deception
