Andalusian Poetry
.
Every night I scan
the heavens with my eyes
seeking the star
that you are contemplating.
I question travelers
from the four corners of the earth
hoping to meet one
who has breathed your fragrance.
When the wind blows
I make sure it blows in my face:
The breeze might bring me
news of you.
I wander over roads
without aim, without purpose.
Perhaps a song
will sound your name.
Secretly I study
every face I see
hoping against hope
to glimpse a trace of your beauty.
Abu Bakr Al-Turtushi (1059-1126)
