by G. W. Leitner

My eye has fallen on thee, and I now live.

3. My friend had scarcely come near me—why, alas, has he left?

My flesh has melted from these broken limbs.

4. How could I guard against the enmity of a friend?

May God now save me from such grief!

5. (He.) Were I to see 200 Fairies and 100,000 Houris,

I should be a Káfir (infidel), O my beloved!

If my thoughts then even strayed from thee.

6. Yea, not the Houri nightingale, nor my own soul and eyes as Houris,

Would, on the day of judgment, divert my thought from thee.
