Mecnunum Leylamı Gördüm [English translation]

I am Mecnun, I saw my Leyla*

She just glanced at me once and left

I didn’t ask and she didn’t tell

She sulked and left

I couldn’t ask a few words

Was her face the moon or the day (light)

I thought she was the Venus star

She blended me with her glory and left

I couldn’t stand this fever

I couldn’t realize this secret

I couldn’t see her at dawn time

She just flowed like a star and left

I don’t know what her sign of the stars** is

These sorrows slashes/hurts us

The arrows (made) of her dimples, time to time

The beloved one hammered to my chest and left

Izzet-i*** says what is this divine mystery

While asleep I had a dream

Tied her lovelocks as a loop

The beloved one throw it on my neck and left
