Poem

I have been caught in your love’s snare, my eternal husband
Peace eludes me everywhere because of you.
If I want to hide inside me, my heart gets burnt-
How can I hide in this fire, my lord
You can’t utter your dumb heart’s thoughts, at your tongue’s
edge
Can’t express nor hide such is the pain inflicted by you.
One who has seen you even once can’t find words to
describe your beauty
And mindlessly cries all day long, love-torn and helpless.

[Original: E kon mayay felile; Translation: Abu Rushd]
