I'm thinking with my intellect I am unable

I'm thinking with my intellect I am unable
to know as well as the heart. The Moon's a cup

to the Sun's prolific light, the earth wobbles
in its eccentric orbit and turns like the verse

of Faiz in an other language. She has a noble
and virtuous disposition, she smells of lilacs

and roses, of rhymes and meter. Among the rumble
of ruined houses and prior forms I'm whispering

perennial mysteries. She is the immeasurable
essence that understands words, the ineffable

nothing that discloses me. I'm becoming humble
in her irrational light, the madness of moving

has made me incapable of all but love.
