Not to leave, not to sail away, not to flee.

I am enchanted by you forever.

Let the currents reverse their flow,

Let the swift rivers run dry,

Before I could ever leave you.

Just as a page cannot be torn from a book,

I am always on your shore,

Not trying to cross the boundary.

I am captive, from that captivity

There is no loophole, no chance of escape,

A single glance is enough,

To bind me in powerless languor.

The magical ball of happiness threads

Gradually enveloped me,

Wove into one braid with you,

Giving spiritual comfort and peace.

Life leads the thread-path unhurriedly.

So soul has grown akin to soul —

It cannot be untangled or cut.

It's utopian to live apart,

Like trees that have grown together by their roots,

Branch with branch intertwined —

The ball of passion, a splendid fate,

Entangled us in blooming spring.
