Al-Thurthusi: Lines to His Absent Love

I look endlessly at the sky,
Hoping to see the star you see.
I go to meet travelers coming from all sides,
Hoping to encounter someone who has scented your fragrance.
I face the winds,
Hoping they carry your message.
I walk aimlessly along the ways,
Hoping to hear a song which tells of you.
I look at the faces of the women whom I meet,
Without any special intention,
Hoping only to find a touch of your beauty in theirs.

I adore this poem.
