    The eyes have not seen, nor has the heart descended to look.

    The traveler of the boat has not seen the sea.

    If I leave at an untimely hour, everyone will be startled.
    It has been ages since I have seen home during the day.

    Since the day I set out, my gaze is fixed on my destination.

    My eyes have never seen a milestone.

    These flowers are a legacy bestowed upon me.
    You have not seen my bed filled with thorns.

    I have come to believe in the love of friends.
    I have not seen the dagger hidden among the flowers.

    Whether it is the beloved's home or the lands of the elders,
    Once left behind, I have not looked back.

    A letter has been written that is adorned with gems.
    That hand which has never seen any jewelry.

    The stone calls me its beloved.
    I am wax; it has not touched me to see.
