I sat beside my window,
I sat near your window
Repeating the sweetness of your memory,
Repeating your sweet memories

And crossing the deserts of dreams
And folded in my hands dreams
Where your mounts had stumbled.
In which your beauty was imprisoned

And while the soul was hovering,
While my soul wandered
Fluttering above your abode,
Fluttering above your singing

A flash of lightning burst forth in the darkness;
Lightning flashed in the gloom
My weeping eye followed it.
Followed by my weeping eyes

Did you leave a sleepless brother
When did I last meet you?
When will I meet you again?

And I start blaming the world
I sat beside my window.
I sit near your window
