35
By the Saqis eye
Heart-enflamed I lie;
Drunk without wine
O delight divine!
All unveiled, desire
Burns a fiercer fire;
Let me see or no,
Yet my souls aglow.
See the rebecs string
At my fingering
Like a candles wick
Flameth bright and quick.
Save my heart can be
Lodging none for me,
Naught is me assigned,
Neer a way I find.
Till the sun arise
From the eastern skies
Sleep to me denied.
Like the stars I ride.
