Again, someone has come, tormented heart! No, it is no one
Probably a passer by, on his way to another place

The night has faded, the haze of stars begin to disperse
In the hallways the sleepy lamps begin to flicker
The street is asleep, worn out by watching every path
Dust, like a stranger, blurs all trace of footsteps

Snuff out the lamps, remove the wine, decanter and goblet
Lock up your dreamless doors
No one here up to now, no one to come!

( my translation of a poem by Faiz Ahmed Faiz ).
