Hezaro Yek Shab (1001 Nights)

If in place of my heart
A sea of blood flows in it's part
But in your Love
Even the sea falls short of my heart
If in front of me you're placed
Like an eternal mirror, of you I'll see
But the hunger of my sight for you
Is an insatiable hunger to feed

Not one heart
Not a thousand hearts
But all the hearts of the world
All the hearts of the world I need
To fulfill my love for you

You who is more loving than love
You who is the personified poem
In the garden of fairy tales from you
The desert has flowered with dew
In your eyes lay velvet dreams
And the very essence of the wine of Shiraz
A thousand nightingales in full voice sing
A thousand and one nights of joy you bring

For I want to see you
Not once
Not a hundred times
But the number of breaths I breathe
For the sight of you takes
Not one eye
Not a hundred eyes
But all the eyes of the world to see

You like the most rare of flowers
Must be handled and breathed
With all the eyes of the world
Only must you be seen
You must be looked upon
Like the shining moon sat atop the hill
With all the lips of the world
Can calling your name be fulfilled

For I want to see you
Not once
Not a hundred times
But the number of breaths I breathe
For the sight of you takes
Not one eye
Not a hundred eyes
But all the eyes of the world to see
