At sunrise if my eyes behold not the Beloved

I would pluck both eyes out

and serve them as food to the ravens.

If my eyes were to look

at something other than the Beloved

I would pluck them out

and serve them as food to ravens.

Offer your fasting eyes

the treat of the Beloved's sight

The manifestation of the Beloved’s face

is better than taking seventy courses of meals.

It is like a breakfast for the eyes

which behold the Beloved at dawn;

or like a pilgrimage for the body and soul.
