My loving heart

Turned vagrant

May it turn

More vagrant…

My loving heart

Is miserable/dejected/desolate

May it be

More miserable.

 

Your tresses

Slays and delude

The wretched/dejected.

 

To shed the blood

Of the unknown

People your

Look/glance

Is bloodier!                                                         

 

O pious one

If you wish

To bless me

Say …

May this reveler

Of the abode

Of the Beautiful

Become even greater

In Revelery/ecstacy.

 

My heart in

Grief into pieces

Broke

A hue of progress

It is not…

If it pleases

My beloved

May it into

Myriad pieces break.

 

If the robe

Of Khusroe

Is moistened with

His two wet eyes

 

Then also drench

His robe with the

Pure immaculate water

Of the adoring/chaste eyes.
