I hate myself for being imprisoned in this love,
For losing myself in the madness of this love.

I know I won’t reach the destination,
Yet I will walk this journey with you.

The air carried the melody of songs, but in my ears was only her voice,
The moonlight graced the sky, but her face alone seemed most exquisite.

I had fallen for that angel long ago, yet my mind refused to accept it,
Today I confess, she ignited with force the fire in my heart.

For this patient of love, she became the cure,
Now, our union shall be witnessed by God.

I have seen paradise here in this world,
Everywhere you have stepped, graced with divinity.

You have captured this lover for a lifetime,
I have embraced this cage through the passage of time.

Your very existence is the plea of my prayers,
You are the rain that quenches this wanderer’s thirst.

There are no words in this world to describe you,
And so, I am preserving you in my verses.

Your face resides in my dreams, your voice echoes in my memories,
My only desire is to be close to you.

My prayers now align with your wishes,
There’s no word on my lips except your name.

I don’t know why I yearn for you, hidden behind a veil,
Though many doves soar under the same sky.

Yet this dove is stuck where it first met you,
For since that day, you’ve breathed life into this broken lover.

There’s an innocent charm in your eyes,
And a magical grace in your tone.
Your presence brings a soothing calm,
In life’s journey, you’re the passion I’ve known.

Oh heart, tell me, what is your intent?
Why does that face dwell in your thoughts?
For the wound of this separation will cut deep,
And there’s no guard to shield against this fear.

Your soul freed me from this darkness,
Now my heart blossoms with love.

I wish this wound had found its balm sooner,
But no matter—now, I’ll stay with you forever.

Thank you for showing this wanderer the path to paradise,
Now I can tell my children how beautiful my life truly was.
