Nature of a Lover

Have you fallen in love or been stricken with arrows?

Regardless, this is the true nature of a lover.

Let us drink and you sing for me

Mention her name while you play the violin

You, who is mentioning her praises

I get jealous when you mention her name

I get jealous of her clothes

When they touch her softened body

I feel jealous from her father and mother

If they whispered in her ears

I envy the glasses that kiss her mouth

When she drinks away

There is a girl within my soul

That beautified herself with chastity

There are freckles on her cheeks

That grew from musk

I lost my mind and sanity when I saw her

When I tried to approach her, she refused and walked away

If you see her, please tell her I am so deeply in love with her

Mention my name with good things

Hoping that one day, she will give me a chance

If you see her, please tell her I am so deeply in love with her

And bring her to my grave when I am gone

My bones will crave to be stepped on by her feet

My soul is calling her and my eyes follow her

That only thing that cures me time and time again

Is my hope of seeing her again, one day
