What can I do, my love? I'm in love with your face.
Your beautiful eyes make me shy, what can I do?
Each and every moment, passion rises, peaks, flows,
And I haven't a clue about what to do, God knows.
#1342, from Rumi's Kolliyaat-e
Shams-e Tabrizi
Edited by Badiozzaman Forouzanfar (Tehran, Amir Kabir, 1988).
