Persian Songs

All earthly things forgotten, one thing I opine:
Young Zuleika is like vintage old and fine
Already drunk with her, now to the wine I'll go...
We'll see who is more potent; Zuleika or the wine?
---------------------------
In a transparent veil, you wrapped you countenance.
Like the full moon it shines in gauzy coulds' expanse.
O moon of my delight, look brightly in my eyes,
Lest sullen thought lie heavy on my heart -- O glance!

Maxim Bahdanovich 1915
