My limbs, adorned, a sweet flute's song,
My limbs, adorned, a sweet flute's song,
Beneath the shade of memories, long,
Slowly, the wind dances, my heart's sway,
Like a boat adrift on a river's way.
Tonight, in dream's city, I'll fade away,
Tonight, to my beloved, I'll give my day,
Tonight, in dream's city, I'll fade away,
Tonight, to my beloved, I'll give my day,
My hands' henna, a fire's embrace,
My hands' henna, a fire's embrace,
Like the sun when evening does grace,
My hands' henna, a fire's embrace,
My hands' henna, a fire's embrace,
My hands' henna, a fire's embrace,
Like the sun when evening does grace.
Come, Beloved, I've yearned for you so,
My eyes, as a path, for your steps to know,
Come, Beloved, I've yearned for you so,
My eyes, as a path, for your steps to know,
My heart's lamp, burning bright, my love,
My heart's lamp, burning bright, my love,
Though the moon, my foe, may not approve,
My limbs, adorned, a sweet flute's song,
Beneath the shade of memories, long.
