Restless Tears

I do not believe in anyone’s continuous departure.

He, too, humiliated me, though giving me respect.

People even hide their happiness, my beloved.

In my tears, restlessness has also spread.

Just ask them—how can I smile?

At the one whose fire I placed in my chest.

Even if I give a curse, to whom should I give it,

When at home, my own have burned me?
