He gazes, having grown accustomed to slumber, as though
He yearns, though he is used to separation, as though
he gazes at you with a gazelle’s eyes.
He yearns for you with a bleeding wound,

And his sideburn has flowed along his smooth cheek,
And his tears streamed down his cheek,
as though it were musk upon camphor.
As if it were musk on camphor.
