1. Our pleasures have become nations
Since you two have been away

2. And the smile of innocence urged
The teardrop of sadness and they mingled

3. And thunder softened until it
Became like a supplicant for rain

4. And I have a poem that composed
The scattered life so it came together

5. Like a sun that illuminated darkness
And a branch bearing fruit

6. And a clarity that when it smiled
Showed us life smiling

7. And basil that delights you
And companion that pleases you

8. And a boy educated in affection
Who now carries the flag

9. As if his forehead is a dawn
That contained darkness

10. And something I dare not mention
For fear I'd chase you away

11. If the craving of the fascination were cured by it
It would be severed

12. And if the eyes of Mu'awiya
Were lined with it, he would not be tyrannical

13. So travel and find a sea
Of pleasures surging tumultuously
