1. The kohl of the eyelids with the magic that
Without it the nightingales would not have known Babylon

2. My heart had been heedless of what was in it
And the heart of my brother wellbeing was heedless

3. Until I was struck by you, chest of a lancer
Whose teeth strike and whose glance is deadly

4. Your necklace was not knotted at your neck out of affliction
But a pearl in a relentless sword
