1. How intensely the places you frequented called you back
from your campsite as the antelope wept!

2. What beauty turned its back on the departing ones?
What gorgeous one retreated from the mounts of gorgeousness?

3. The guide whose traces were lost in the valleys of Kha,
and a long-necked one hidden in the sand dunes,

4. and a wild cow from the cattle of the camps,
and mountain does racing toward the termini,

5. called you on the night of the soft sand between
Himā and Mithāl. So the phantom did not visit you,

6. but in your thoughts you visited the phantom's image.
