KAD PROCVATU BEHARI

Kad procvatu behari
kad dunjaluk zamiri
duša čežnjom procvili:
davno smo se rastali

Ovo nebo nad nama
Sjena je od zastora
Kula nad nebesima
U našim je prsima

Proljeće je u nama
Kad se topi suzama
I pustinja procvjeta
Nudeć' sliku Dženneta

WHEN TREES BLOSSOM

When trees blossom
When the world gets fragrant
The soul yelps in yearning:
We've parted long ago

This sky above us
Is a shadow behind the curtain
A tower above the heavens
Is in our chests

Spring is inside us
When it melts with tears
The desert blossoms as well
Offering a picture of Heaven
