Lest desire's well run dry,
Lest desire's well run dry,
And you from my heart slip by.
Lest desire's well run dry.
I see you now, after so long,
I see you now, after so long,
Lest this day swiftly be gone,
And you from my heart slip by,
Lest desire's well run dry.
Don't mingle with the sorrowful,
Don't mingle with the sorrowful,
Lest your beauty, fragmented, fall,
And you from my heart slip by,
Lest desire's well run dry.
My heart yearns for your return,
My heart yearns for your return,
Lest you depart, and never unlearn,
And you from my heart slip by,
Lest desire's well run dry.
Let us weep awhile, Nasir,
Let us weep awhile, Nasir,
Lest this river cease to pour,
And you from my heart slip by,
Lest desire's well run dry,
And you from my heart slip by,
Lest desire's well run dry.
