“
The moment lovers overhear the mention of their Beloved, their hearts overwhelm with ecstasy unable to bear the bliss
No sooner the body heard
‘Meem,’

Your praised name
Gives much ecstasy.

My half-opened eyes close,
Unable to bear the brutal bliss.
My lips then move
At a moderate pace:
“Upon Muhammad be
Blessings and peace.”
