Your Eyebrows are Like a Bow

Your voice pierces my heart like a bullet;
When you smile, your brows arch like a bow.
May your love be the cure for my parched lips;
A single tear is like water to the desert of my heart.

I was captivated, shyly, by your moon-faced smile;
Dawn’s light seems to forever embrace your auburn hair.
Love made me a captive of your gaze;
My soul finds refuge in your words, yet burns within them.

Quench my fire, O beloved of my soul;
Let your fragrance touch my weary temples.
I sought shelter in your shadow and found my true reflection in you;
You are Layla and I am Majnun; I am Aslı to your Ferhat.
