The universe dozes at night and sleeps
And I remain awake, guarding your dreams
So that you don’t see anyone but me
My love doesn’t yawn from boredom
For it deserves the time of clarity
Oh features of the girl of dreams
I searched in the faces of all people
For a beautiful face that steals my breath away
Like yours, I found none
I searched and returned empty-handed
From everything except you
And my longing for you knows no bounds
You are a woman from whose branches
The petals of paradise hang down
Oh, you whose words are a river of excellent honey
I am mistaken; I did not learn the mathematics of love
I did not gaze into your eyes to learn the science of astronomy
