1. The abodes came alive with my visit, and it called out to me
The clouds promised the good times would return

2. So perhaps the speaker conveys his intent
When the tongue of its silent aspects relates its state

3. Look at its landmarks - you are safe, so why ache?
Preoccupied with its weeping and pillow

4. If a longing one stirred its soil
It would touch my heart amidst its ashes

5. There were outlines like lines brought together
So I erased them with tears and my ink

6. A market where hearts are sold cheap
And tears are spent after hard times

7. Blood, I stood by it, and its companion appeared
So I wept the desolation of its stillness and calm

8. Its songs saddened the heartsick one, and hands
Of heavy rain clouds tucked them in

9. A dark night whose length
The white dye of its affection shortened like my heart

10. The beloved of motion - the day I come near
Is longer than the day I'm apart

11. I pity the hips’ perfect sway and the glance
That hunted lovers’ hearts with its arrows

12. The sick glances since I met them
After desire, if it satisfied one longing for them

13. The winds blew by her abode when sick
And the clouds rained on the place of her country

14. With each lightning smile that flashed
It held back the fringes of its splendor with its bodies

15. As if the pleasure of its glow brings joy
And that anger’s fright brings trembling
