My dreams about you will never end

But my sleep is suffering

O Saeen*, how my sleep is suffering...

...how my sleep is suffering!



The cuckoo flaps its night-like black wings,

And the jungle is echoing,

O Saeen, how the jungle is echoing!

And my sleep is suffering...

O Saeen, how my sleep is suffering...



Reward and punishment are but God’s Will,

Mankind's share is toiling --

O saint, how mankind is toiling!

And my sleep is suffering...

O Saeen, how my sleep is suffering...



My longing for You is one long season,

While ‘union’ rests on fealty,

O Saeen, isn't pining more than fealty?

And my sleep is suffering,

O Saeen, how my sleep is suffering...



Your greatness O God, is your uniqueness,

And Hallaj*-like my being,

O God, Hallaj-like my being!

How my sleep is suffering,

O Saeen, how my sleep is suffering!
