I was a mecnun, I saw my Leyla*,
She looked once in my direction and passed by,
I didn't ask either, she answered,
She just passed by.
I couldn't ask a couple of words,
Her face was it the moon or daylight?
I thought she was the star of Venus passing by,
The brightness of light burnt right through me.
I could not come to a stop from her heat,
I could not know her secret,
I could not see the time of twilight,
Like a star, she disappeared and passed by.
I do not know which astrological star she is,
These sorrows make us eager,
Your dimples revive me every now and then,
Love has failed and passed me by.
Izzer-i says what is the reason for an affair?
I had a dream while I was waking up,
She had changed her love lock into a necklace,
Love, hang it on my neck she said and passed by me.
