Then, from those very eyes, retreat.

Then, from those very eyes, retreat.
The heart's blessing, oh, beloved,

Let your longings now take flight.

The lamp's metaphor, a falsehood,
Those eyes, they are twin suns.

If vision you hold so dear,

Then before them, bend your gaze.

The eyes of the crowd, a riddle,
In one voice, they all declare,
A malady with no cure possible,

Inflict this sickness on your heart.

Then, from those very eyes, retreat.
Solitude's beauty, a companion, to whom,
Would I ever have turned away?

In her eyes, Shahzad, a King.

In her eyes, Shahzad, a King.
Each heartbeat whispers,
Each heartbeat whispers,
Untangle every knot within.
