Hast thou seen my love many times
The morning dew or the dusk in the eve
For the lovers’ caravan to the tavern goes
Neither mosque nor temple
But heart is reverend
The temple of love
Hast thou seen my love many times
The ignorant the nescient
For they think the story of love
Shall end here with morality they preach
Of freedom unaware possessed by spirits
Of hatred alone shall one day come
To the city of love in the tavern baptized
Hast thou seen my love many times
In sequels the songs of your love
For the honor like the noble Othello
When the Lago plays wits in hold
And when all that join the chorus coarse
In preposterous vulgarity in judgment sit
Nay the tragedy of love in doom
The moth shall burn for his destiny
The flame of love but just a flicker
How many flames they portend extinguished
Never shall the flame of your love go down
Never shall moth born to burn leave the flame
