Once methought in the night hours coldA
-
That I saw the moon in my sleepB
But as soon as I waken'd beholdA
-
Unawares rose the sun from the deepB
-
THAT Suleika's love was so strongC
-
For Joseph need cause no surpriseD
-
He was young youth pleaseth the eyesD
-
He was fair they say beyond measureE
-
Fair was she and so great was their pleasureE
But that thou who awaitedst me longC
Youthful glances of fire dost throw meF
Soon wilt bless me thy love now dost show meF
This shall my joyous numbers proclaimG
Thee I for ever Suleika shall nameG

Suleika Name Book Of Suleika HATEMH
-
NOT occasion makes the thiefI
-
She's the greatest of the wholeJ
For Love's relics to my griefI
-
From my aching heart she stoleJ
-
She hath given it to theeF
-
All the joy my life had knownK
So that in my povertyF
-
Life I seek from thee aloneK
-
Yet compassion greets me straightL
-
In the lustre of thine eyeM
And I bless my newborn fateL
-
As within thine arms I lieM

Suleika Name Book Of Suleika SULEIKAC
-
THE sun appears A glorious sightN
-
The crescent moon clings round him nowO
What could this wondrous pair uniteN
-
How to explain this riddle HowO
-
HATEMH
-
May this our joy's foreboder proveP
-
In it I view myself and theeF
Thou calmest me thy sun my loveQ
-
Come my sweet moon cling thou round meF
-
-
-
LOVE for love and moments sweetR
-
Lips returning kiss for kissS
Word for word and eyes that meetR
-
Breath for breath and bliss for blissS
Thus at eve and thus the morrowT
-
Yet thou feeblest at my layU
Ever some half hidden sorrowT
Could I Joseph's graces borrowT
-
All thy beauty I'd repayU
-
-
-
HATEMH
-
O SAY 'neath what celestial signV
-
The day doth lieM
When ne'er again this heart of mineV
-
Away will flyM
And e'en though fled what thought divineV
-
Would near me lieM
On the soft couch on whose sweet shrineV
-
My heart near hers will lieM
-
-
-
HATEMH
-
HOLD me locks securely caughtW
-
In the circle of her faceX
Dear brown serpents I have noughtW
-
To repay this act of graceX
-
Save a heart whose love ne'er diesD
-
Throbbing with aye youthful glowT
For a raging ETA liesD
-
'Neath its veil of mist and snowT
-
Yonder mountain's stately browO
-
Thou like morning beams dost shameG
Once again feels Hatem nowO
-
Spring's soft breath and summer's flameG
-
One more bumper Fill the glassY
-
This last cup I pledge to theeF
By mine ashes if she passY
-
He consumed she'll say for meF
-
-
-
THE LOVING ONE SPEAKSZ
-
AND wherefore sends notW
The horseman captainA2
His heralds hitherE
-
Each day unfailingC
Yet hath he horsesB2
He writes wellC2
-
He waiteth TaliC2
And Neski knows heF
To write with beautyF
On silken tabletsD2
I'd deem him presentW
Had I his wordsE2
-
The sick One will notW
Will not recoverE
From her sweet sorrowT
She when she hearethF
That her true loverE
Grows well falls sickC
-
-
-
THE LOVING ONE AGAINF2
-
WRITES he in NeskiC
Faithfully speaks heF
Writes he in TaliC2
Joy to give seeks heF
Writes he in eitherE
Good for he lovesG2
-
-
-
THESE tufted branches fairH2
-
Observe my loved one wellC2
And see the fruits they bearH2
-
In green and prickly shellC2
-
They've hung roll'd up till nowO
-
Unconsciously and stillC2
A loosely waving boughO
-
Doth rock them at its willC2
-
Yet ripening from withinI2
-
The kernel brown swells fastW
It seeks the air to winI2
-
It seeks the sun at lastW
-
With joy it bursts its thrallC2
-
The shell must needs give wayU
'Tis thus my numbers fallC2
-
Before thy feet each dayU
-
-
-
SULEIKAC
-
WHAT is by this stir reveal'dW
-
Doth the East glad tidings bringC
For my heart's deep wounds are heal'dW
-
By his mild and cooling wingC
-
He the dust with sports doth meetW
-
And in gentle cloudlets chaseX
To the vineleaf's safe retreatW
-
Drives the insects' happy raceX
-
Cools these burning cheeks of mineV
-
Checks the sun's fierce glow AdamJ2
Kisses as he flies the vineV
-
Flaunting over hill and plainK2
-
And his whispers soft conveyU
-
Thousand greetings from my friendW
Ere these hills own night's dark swayU
-
Kisses greet me without endW
-
Thus canst thou still onward goC
-
Serving friend and mourner tooW
There where lofty ramparts glowC
-
Soon the loved one shall I viewW
-
Ah what makes the heart's truth knownK
-
Love's sweet breath a newborn lifeL2
Learn I from his mouth aloneK
-
In his breath alone is rifeL2
-
-
-
THE SUBLIME TYPEM2
-
THE sun whom Grecians Helms callC2
-
His heavenly path with pride doth treadW
And to subdue the world's wide allC2
-
Looks round beneath him high o'er headW
-
He sees the fairest goddess pineV
-
Heaven's child the daughter of the cloudsN2
For her alone he seems to shineV
-
In trembling grief his form he shroudsN2
-
Careless for all the realms of blissS
-
Her streaming tears more swiftly flowC
For every pearl he gives a kissS
-
And changeth into joy her woeC
-
She gazeth upward fixedlyC
-
And deeply feels his glance of mightW
While stamped with his own effigyF
-
Each pearl would range itself arightW
-
Thus wreath'd with bows with hues thus grac'dW
-
With gladness beams her face so fairH2
While he to meet her maketh hasteW
-
And yet alas can reach her ne'erH2
-
So by the harsh decree of FateW
-
Thou modest from me dearest oneA2
And were I Helms e'en the GreatW
-
What would avail his chariot throneK
-
-
-
SULEIKAC
-
ZEPHYR for thy humid wingC
-
Oh how much I envy theeF
Thou to him canst tidings bringC
-
How our parting saddens meF
-
In my breast a yearning stillC
-
As thy pinions wave appearsO2
Flow'rs and eyes and wood and hillC
-
At thy breath are steeped in tearsP2
-
Yet thy mild wing gives reliefI
-
Soothes the aching eyelid's painK2
Ah I else had died for griefI
-
Him ne'er hoped to see againF2
-
To my love then quick repairH2
-
Whisper softly to his heartW
Yet to give him pain bewareH2
-
Nor my bosom's pangs impartW
-
Tell him but in accents coyC
-
That his love must be my lifeL2
Both with feelings fraught with joyC
-
In his presence will be rifeL2
-
-
-
THE REUNIONA2
-
CAN it be of stars the starQ2
-
Do I press thee to my heartW
In the night of distance farQ2
-
What deep gulf what bitter smartW
Yes 'tis thou indeed at lastW
-
Of my joys the partner dearR2
Mindful though of sorrows pastW
-
I the present needs must fearR2
-
When the still unfashion'd earthF
-
Lay on God's eternal breastW
He ordain'd its hour of birthF
-
With creative joy possess'dW
Then a heavy sigh aroseS2
-
When He spake the sentence BeF
And the All with mighty throesS2
-
Burst into realityF
-
And when thus was born the lightW
-
Darkness near it fear'd to stayW
And the elements with mightW
-
Fled on every side awayW
Each on some far distant traceX
-
Each with visions wild employC
Numb in boundless realm of spaceX
-
Harmony and feeling voidW
-
Dumb was all all still and deadW
-
For the first time God aloneK
Then He form'd the morning redW
-
Which soon made its kindness knownK
It unravelled from the wasteW
-
Bright and glowing harmonyF
And once more with love was grac'dW
-
What contended formerlyF
-
And with earnest noble strifeL2
-
Each its own Peculiar soughtW
Back to full unbounded lifeL2
-
Sight and feeling soon were broughtW
Wherefore if 'tis done exploreT2
-
How why give the manner nameG
Allah need create no moreT2
-
We his world ourselves can frameG
-
So with morning pinions brightW
-
To thy mouth was I impell'dW
Stamped with thousand seals by nightW
-
Star clear is the bond fast heldW
Paragons on earth are weF
-
Both of grief and joy sublimeU2
And a second sentence BeF
-
Parts us not a second timeU2
-
-
-
SULEIKAC
-
WITH what inward joy sweet layW
-
I thy meaning have descriedW
Lovingly thou seem'st to sayW
-
That I'm ever by his sideW
-
That he ever thinks of meF
-
That he to the absent givesV2
All his love's sweet ecstasyF
-
While for him alone she livesV2
-
Yes the mirror which revealsW2
-
Thee my loved one is my breastW
This the bosom where thy sealsW2
-
Endless kisses have impress'dW
-
Numbers sweet unsullied truthF
-
Chain me down in sympathyF
Love's embodied radiant youthF
-
In the garb of poesyW2
-
-
-
IN thousand forms mayst thou attempt surpriseW2
-
Yet all beloved one straight know I theeF
Thou mayst with magic veils thy face disguiseW2
-
And yet all present one straight know I theeF
-
Upon the cypress' purest youthful budW
-
All beauteous growing one straight know I theeF
In the canal's unsullied living floodW
-
All captivating one well know I theeF
-
When spreads the water column rising proudW
-
All sportive one how gladly know I theeF
When e'en in forming is transform'd the cloudW
-
All figure changing one there know I theeF
-
Veil in the meadow carpet's flowery charmsW2
-
All checkered starry fair one know I theeF
And if a plant extend its thousand armsW2
-
O all embracing one there know I theeF
-
When on the mount is kindled morn's sweet lightW
-
Straightway all gladdening one salute I theeF
The arch of heaven o'er head grows pure and brightW
-
All heart expanding one then breathe I theeF
-
That which my inward outward sense proclaimsW2
-
Thou all instructing one I know through theeF
And if I utter Allah's hundred namesW2
-
A name with each one echoes meant for theeF
