What do you know of love, within your heart,
That I, like Majnun, chase Layla from the start?

Through sleepless nights, I whisper out your name,
But what do you know of longing, grief, and flame?

If you could sit beside this weary heart of mine,
You might understand the tears I hide behind.

Wherever I may wander, your fragrance fills the air,
What do you know of all the dreams I keep in prayer?

Without you, sleep escapes me; peace has gone away,
What do you know of lonely nights that turn to day?

I see you in each breath, I sing you in each rhyme,
What do you know of love that conquers space and time?

If someday this heart should break from missing you,
What would you know of loneliness, if you felt it too?

I ask the world for nothing, only this one dream:
To have you by my side, closer than you seem.

And if they ask what love has done to me along the way,
I'll say: “No one knows the heart of love, except the one who loves each day.”
