Living oasis! Of a thousand fine lashes, veiling all
But, your visible fine eyes, they taunt for all their hidden friends too,
One lash for every mystery that your eyes speak
Saying what your heart and mouth, unseen, wish to say
You paint the desert in hues of gold as you walk,
And your veil, gives the night sky its dark hues,
Your grace gave the breeze its charm,
And the moon waxes and wanes, as your eyes, behind the veils do,
Your fragrance, stuns the falcons on their game flight,
You are the life and soul of the desert at night,
Oh! Fatima, what treasure have you made me seek?
The shepherd, I, don’t seek beyond being in your herd,
For what do I need an alchemist’s eyes?
To show me the soul of the world manifest,
I’ve found you, as the gold in the lead desert,
My love, the potion that made me the alchemist, the gold, you,
What greater treasure lies hidden in this world?
What message on an emerald tablet is more enchanting than you?
Here, and anywhere beyond, to existence’s end?
But, your visible fine eyes, they taunt for all their hidden friends too,
One lash for every mystery that your eyes speak
Saying what your heart and mouth, unseen, wish to say
You paint the desert in hues of gold as you walk,
And your veil, gives the night sky its dark hues,
Your grace gave the breeze its charm,
And the moon waxes and wanes, as your eyes, behind the veils do,
Your fragrance, stuns the falcons on their game flight,
You are the life and soul of the desert at night,
Oh! Fatima, what treasure have you made me seek?
The shepherd, I, don’t seek beyond being in your herd,
For what do I need an alchemist’s eyes?
To show me the soul of the world manifest,
I’ve found you, as the gold in the lead desert,
My love, the potion that made me the alchemist, the gold, you,
What greater treasure lies hidden in this world?
What message on an emerald tablet is more enchanting than you?
Here, and anywhere beyond, to existence’s end?
