Do you know that without you I have no news?
There is no fire in my heart, and no fervor or commotion
My enamored heart had so much to say about love
But the words are all yours, I have no eloquence or skill
With you by my side I flapped my wings and flew to the empyrean
Without you O saqi of my soul, I have no feathers and no wings
The fruit of your love was sugar and ambrosia for my soul
Without you I am fruitless in the orchard of loving-kindness
Your lover-slaying gaze that brought light to my heart’s eyes
Without the light from your eyes, I have no sight
I was a fire, and my ashes were given to the wind
You settled in my heart and now no trace of me remains
You said, “oh, you have become the candle’s flame illuminating all hearts!”
I have no accomplishments myself; it's You that bestows light on my soul
