RENOWNED THROUGHOUT THE CITY

RENOWNED THROUGHOUT THE CITY

Into the snare of your tress I entangled became,

Being renowned throughout the city in every alley and market became.

If you expel me out of one door I will come in through the other door,

If you expelled me out of the house through the wall in I came.

The intoxication of knowledge and action went out of my mind,

As soon as by your brimful cup sober I became.

I prefer nothing to the pleasure of being in love,

Enamoured of your eyes I became.

I wish I could find a way to your abode,

From the sage's inspiration I asked for help.

Whatever I had collected I threw away,

Then ashamed in the presence of the wineseller I became.
