1. Are you angry at something I said casually,
With no ill intent or suspect thought,

2. Just simple jest that was somehow
Misunderstood from brief account?

3. For speaking of what's past pains me,
You'll never see me not in recollection.

4. The heart is slain by memories when they fall
Upon a place of woe within me shattered.

5. I love you beyond hearts and souls
That throb with love among all mankind.

6. So your laughing eyes did not lie to me
In them the light of sun and moon to me.

7. You are light and fire, gentle and kind,
Or troubled, never can they make you less sublime.

8. In you is a meaning, O Saad, that will
Be exempt tomorrow from harm and benefit.

9. Pure bliss is its food, kept safe
From events, sustained, complete.

10. Why wander wretched in your love, when you
Did not stop me between roses and thorns?

11. Ask the nights about my sorrow, passion, cares,
My tears and sleepless vigil, lonely hours.

12. I fold my ribs around a desolate heart
As if it were the saddest of sad laments.

13. Time has worn down my body and made it
Frail and sickly, slender at the waist.

14. And everything is shaped by its design
So misery has become my truest form.

15. For your eyes I face time armed
With resolve and acceptance I've composed.

16. Hardship increases my knowledge of life
As learning makes me match lessons to lessons.

17. It was the order of Him who created the world
And ordained this system that runs its course.

18. People have one sun, I have two, one
Among the stars, the other among mankind.

19. Both gorgeous, though by law I love
My radiant beauty by voice and gaze.

20. And people are two hearts, one took flight
Aloft on the breeze, one carved from stone.

21. One lives free of care and gloom
While the other stays wed to pain and gloom.

22. And that first, if they knew the bliss
Of breath never leaving one about to expire!

23. Just so my heart, O Saad, is home
To passion for you, judge me as you desire.
