Say anything you want about him,
But I know better than you or anyone
My beloved’s faults!
And how should you know
The treasure he is,
You, who are trying to weigh
His merits against his faults?
When wheat is harvested and threshed,
The chaff is removed,
Leaving the core free of the trivial matter;
Thus I do unto my beloved.
I take him as he is,
His merits as well as his faults;
And dearly, ever so gently,
With a beloved’s breath,
His faults become the chaff
Which is removed forever,
Leaving in the threshold of my soul
The naked beauty I most treasure:
My beloved!
I love him because when my
Surroundings are laden with winter snow,
His is the fire which kindles my
Heart and keeps me warm;
I love him because when I am walking
Through a barren desert,
His is the water which moistens my lips
And quenches my thirst;
I love him because in blooming spring
His is the body
Which satiates
Mine’s yearning.
I love him because when I am walking
the lonely road of my life,
His is the shadow
Which accompanies me along my path.
I love him because when we’re together,
Our minds, hearts and bodies become one;
I love him because when we’re together,
There is completeness, harmony, balance,
And sublime love in my life.
But how should you know
The treasure he is,
You, who are trying to weigh
His merits against his faults?
You,
You can only see
his merits
and faults;
I,
I can only see the treasure he is;
I,
I can only see him
Through my loving eyes.
