1. You are my home...and all else, a journey
My heart is yours...and my gaze, beyond you

2. My sweetness...are you leaving?
Or do the stars and moon depart?

3. Do gardens weary of their flowers?
Or do seashells and pearls disappear?

4. Are my days with you torn asunder?
And their fragrance...does it scatter?

5. Have the caravans of my heart
Left your tender heart, my brunette?

6. You have taken from my domes and minarets
What no jinn nor mortal ever took

7. And you raided my fortress, so many
Soldiers came to us in the night

8. They lit no fires for us, though they tried-
Out of envy, for they had no power!

9. I became you...and you became me
Like an ocean filled by the rain

10. And today you intend to part!
While our hearts blaze with yearning

11. You've deserted me until you are
My compass, while all else is but a journey

12. My heart, though they scheme, gives them the lie
Will you today believe their schemes?

13. If you deny my love out of stubbornness
Or feign ignorance...the images are between us!

14. Or you leave me...oh my sorrow
From the burden of a burdensome burden!

15. Or you flee from me on a journey
You'll never flee me...I am fate!
