"manashiq-e chashm-e mast yarastum"
is the kind of feeling
i like to wake up to
it is part of you
the meaning is also you
yet you wonder what it means

like the flute
that cries to return
on a quiet cold evening
from miles touches the heart
listen coz it may burn
yet you wonder what it means

on a snow clad day
you stop to wonder
the one green shoot
that stands out facing thunder
it is there to stay
yet you wonder what it means

all that you do
some you can explain
but most of your life
not thinking
you try in vein
yet you wonder what it means

passionately curious
you flow in space and time
cause thats who you are
"i am in love with my beloved's intoxicated eyes"
is what it means
your heart will always know
which beloved, what eyes
your love and what it means.
the poem starts with the persian phrase "manashiq-e chashm-e mast yarastum", originally from an Afghan song.
