We present this work in honor of the 930th anniversary of the poet’s death.
Arab Andalusian
1001 – 1091
I fear for you, my beloved so much, that even my own sight
even the ground you tread
even the hours that pass threaten to snatch you away from me.
Even if I were able to conceal you within the pupils of my eyes
and hide you there until
the Day of Judgment my fear would still not be allayed.
