I can't afford myself to look at you,
Among all the lionesses under the masks of sheeps,
Trying to win your noble heart,
Your kind and generous soul,
Wishing to get warm from your welcoming hearth.
Sharing you with them I fail.
But God's mercy is endless,
Cause only desires are blind,
But love has sharp clear eyes.
Allah's true servant won't be cheated with gold tinsel,
But he may find only embers instead of fire.
He will miss the brilliance of the eyes,
Which sometimes are blue, sometimes are grey...
Their color is changeable, just like the love of my Lord.
You would like to see them shining,
But will only admire the shining diamonds of my words.
Cause in your garden, so coveted by many,
I can be the only one flower.
