The breath of love, the breath of tears, eyes brimming,

Do not awaken the wonder of love's trance,
Do not plant your feet upon the earth's expanse.

Why speak in Urdu, in Persian's guise?
Why speak in Urdu, in Persian's guise?
Ten you claim, yet two you weigh,
O king of liars, your words betray.
Gaze now into my eyes’ deep well,
Gaze now into my eyes’ deep well,
A tale unfolds, your lips compel,
Do not awaken the wonder of love's trance,
Do not plant your feet upon the earth's expanse.
O wonder of love, O wonder of love,
O wonder of love.
The breath of love, the breath of love,
The breath of love, the breath of love.

From fleeting months, a moment's hold,
From fleeting months, a moment's hold,
The ages' reckoning, stories told.
Those unseen yesterday, those unseen yesterday,
Now in every crevice, their faces unfold.
Do not awaken the wonder of love's trance,
Do not plant your feet upon the earth's expanse.
Do not awaken the wonder of love's trance,
Do not plant your feet upon the earth's expanse.
O wonder of love, O wonder of love,
O wonder of love.
The breath of love, the breath of tears, eyes brimming,
The breath of love, the breath of tears, eyes brimming.
Listen, my companion, in love, forever living,
Listen, my companion, in love, forever living.
