I and You |
My eye is unacquainted with the taste for the Sight
Your eye is the knower of Nature’s secret, so what? |
My tongue is indebted to the complaint against time
The universe’s rotation depends on your will, so what? |
The sky kept me wandering in garden like the breeze’s current
The sky has bestowed the abode over you, so what? |
The wealth of your life is free of desire for gain
In my heart is the anxiety of loss, so what? |
Your planes are flying about in the air
My ship is devoid of the sail, so what? |
I became strong, so what, I became weak, so what?
This happened, so what, that happened, so what? |
Tranquillity does not exist to any extent in this rose-garden!
If you became spring, and I became autumn, so what? |
