"As if time has fallen somewhere from the abode of clock

As if light gets separated from morning

As if someone steals melody out of song and poem

The same way half, incomplete, I am without you"

 

"Whose face is this that I see in every flower

Whose voice is this that I hear even when I am not listening

What sort of footsteps are these that approach?

What sort of dreams are they showing?

My heart, tell me, who is coming

Why is the breeze singing in such a manner?"

 

"Without you every moment was lonely

There was thirst on the lips all the time

There was no aim, there were no dreams,

There was vagrancy in life

You are my guide

My destination, my path

You are like a gift from God for me"
