1. His clothes are tattered rags
Yet his status is strangely grand

2. You see the waves grow calm in
His socks then get rough

3. Like a beast of prey he walks far
Ramming then drawing near

4. Some days he prefers delights
Where good manners prevail

5. A sun beyond the gloom
Rises then hides away

6. Our gathering on a porch
Veiled by clouds overhead

7. Lightning smiles below
Thunder sobs aloud

8. Flames to his east
Clamor to his west

9. Before him a blossom
Tracing its origin to the stars

10. Swaying with her each rod
Sometimes erect, sometimes bent

11. Over us black tents
Dotting their beloved sky

12. Seething with all the meadows bear
And the noble, crazed does

13. Murmuring like the black women’s
Lustful moans

14. We stared at bright flowers
With sweet dew above

15. Continuing the deeds of one close
To God, then shunned

16. That which parts from the immaculate
Returns as if it never left

17. And your pure companions
Yearn and grieve for you

18. Remembering you is purer to them
Than basil, when they drink

19. Their procession has come to you
So be free as you ought
