"What shape should I take to marry your own, have you
-hawk to my shaddow, moth to my flame- persue me?"
She will be whatever he wants her to be. What should I do to win you? How should I change so you will like me? She wants him to be the active one in the relationship, asking him how should she change at the same time.
"If i rise in the east as you die in the west,
die for my sake, my love, every night renew me."
One is the sun and one is the moon, one is more powerful than the other. She is the moon, he is the sun, he dies so she can rise. Inbalance of power.
"If, when it ends, we are just good friends, be my Friend,
muse, lover and guide, Shamsuddin to my Rumi."
Very lonely, so obsessed that she needs him to be with her somehow. Shamsuddin is superior to Rumi, head of household, more powerful.
