English version by Bernard Lewis Original Language Arabic While the sun's eye rules my sight, love sits as sultan in my soul. His army has made camp in my heart -- passion and yearning, affliction and grief. When his camp took possession of me I cried out as the flame of desire burned in my entrails. Love stole my sleep, love has bewildered me, love kills me unjustly, and I am helpless, love has burdened me with more than I can bear so that I bequeath him a soul and no body. [1482.jpg] -- from Music of a Distant Drum: Classical Arabic, Persian, Turkish & Hebrew Poems, Translated by Bernard Lewis <
