My beloved
Comes tonight
Such news have
I received
My life I
Lay on the
Path as the
Rider cometh.
The Gazelles
Of the forest
Offer up their
Heads
In the hope
That the hunter
Will appear one day!
Magnetic is
Love –
Draw not others
To love
For if you
Reach not at
My funeral
Visit at
My Graveside!
My waning breath
Is at my lips
My beloved do
Appear so I may
Revive back to life
Of what use
Your arrival
After I am no more!
Your one appearance
Has snatched/taken away
The heart the
Life the patience
Of Khusroe…
What a tempest
Would result
If you were to
Come/appear
Time and again!
