When I set out on my journey,
I pray that the road were long and difficult,
Rough, steep, narrow, and ravines on both sides,
Full of adventure, full of dangers,
Full of beasts, full of ghosts,
- do not fear them:
If I do not find such as these on my road,
How can mad emotions of Majnun touch my soul,
I will never encounter Leila, I know,
If I do not carry pain and suffering within my soul,
How can I aspire to unite with my friend for eternity,
Futile it will be to play love's game.
