Perchance - Amir Hamzah

Thou who slumber’st inside my heart
Vault of heaven yet filament fine
Wrapped large within the earth’s embrace
Sheltered small beneath an eyebrow’s span

The pearl inside these eyes.

All foundering, engulfed—
Your luxuriant garden now a mere ruin.

the corners of my eyes, made me
feel beautiful and entitled a right
to allure the slanting sun.

Your Journey - Rumi Ullidov

If you would order me
To take a long trip
To places you have been
And to see things you have seen
And experience every detail of your past life
I would kindly bow and accept your word

Because Of You - Amir Hamzah

'Flowers burst into bloom,
Loving life because of You;
Love spreading like flowers in my heart
Filled it with the fragrance of blossoms, and their dust.
