I am Mecnun and I saw my Leyla.
Just once she looked at me and left.
She didn't say a word nor did I ask anything.
She lowered her eyes and walked on by...
I wasn't able to ask her a single word.
Whether her face was the moon or the sun?
I thought she was the star of Venus
Her brightness burned me and passed right through me.
I couldn’t stand because of her heat
I couldn’t understand her secret
I couldn’t see her at dawn
She glided like a star.
I don't know her sign
These worries hurt us
The arrow of your reproachful look at times,
My beloved, just hit my chest and passed through me.
Izzet-i says what gives…
I saw a dream while sleeping
My beloved had made a lasso from her love-locks
And roped around my neck and passed by.
